Dr. Ridgely Abdul Mu’min Muhammad on the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan's "The Genocide of the Palestinians"

Dr. Ridgely Abdul Mu’min Muhammad of the Nation of Islam Research Group (NOIRG) discusses his forthcoming article “Does Israel Want the Gaza Strip?” We’ll also discuss The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s “The Genocide of Palestinians: A Test for The Whole Human Family” as well as issues raised in NOIRG’s March 4 article “How the Synagogue of Satan Became Israel: From Sugar to Cotton to Oil.”Excerpt:I basically emailed you and a couple other contacts at the Nation of Islam, questioning, “where's the Honorable Minister? We need his eloquence now more than ever. And then, lo and behold, at Savior's Day, he came through.Well, the thing is, if you heard his speech... I haven't heard it. I read the article.Oh, man, you’ve got to hear it, because he was told...He said he got a message through someone from the Savior telling him to be quiet. So he was already being quiet, and so he decided to be even quieter and not say anything about anything on an international basis until he gave his speech. And what he said was so profound and earth-shattering because he just went into Netanyahu straight up and no backing off.And that article that I wrote that you read, you'll see that Israel has been planning to do this for a long time because they want Gaza. They have a canal, the Ben Gurion Canal, that they'v been planning on since the late 60s, right after NASA nationalized the Suez Canal in 1956, where they've been planning another canal from the late 60s to get around the Suez Canal.As you know, they got this trade route established from China over Israel into Palestine. And so now we know what they were up to because of that canal and the trillions of gallons of gas, cubic feet of natural gas and gallons of gas that right off the Gaza Strip, supposedly owned by the Gazans, but Netanyahu has prevented them from utilizing it, even though it's been known since 1999. Netanyahu has been instrumental in keeping the Palestinians from utilizing their natural resources.And you remember, my brother, because you was on the panel when we dealt with 9-1-1 for Savior's Day. What year was that?Oh, man, that was, I'm just thinking back, maybe 2017, 18, something like that.Right. And then wasn’t it brought out that Netanyahu was on a regular basis talking to Giuliani when he was the mayor right around 9-1-1?Well, I think what I remember talking about was that Netanyahu was getting on the phone with Larry Silverstein, the notorious landlord of two months who bought out the World Trade Center two months before 9-11, doubled the terror insurance, and then skipped breakfast on 9/11. He was always at the Windows of the World restaurant on top of the North Tower every day except that day. And then he unconvincingly said his wife reminded him, tapped him on the shoulder as he was walking out to breakfast and said, you have a dermatologist appointment.Larry Silverstein then went to court and claimed double indemnity on the basis of two completely separate and unrelated terror attacks, namely the two planes. And he got his double indemnity insurance settlement, walking off with nearly $6 billion. And he'd only put down maybe 15 million max of his own money, and another 100 million of his friends’.So that was the best investment ever made. It would have been the worst investment ever made if 9/11 hadn't happened, because the Twin Towers were outmoded, they didn't have communications infrastructure, and they were riddled with asbestos, and a court had ordered that asbestos taken out would have cost double-digit billions, quite likely.So, yeah, Silverstein, the guy who confessed to demolishing Building 7 on a PBS documentary, America Rebuilds. He was on the phone every weekend with Netanyahu, according to Haaretz, the best newspaper in Israel. So, yeah, I think I remember talking about that. And Christopher Bollyn, who also spoke at that wonderful event, might have mentioned it, too.Right. So, look, it all goes full circle now. Now we have Netanyahu in the middle of a turn. You know, you heard turn your other cheek. How about just look away and go in the wrong direction? You remember when they scrambled the jets on 9-1-1, they went in the wrong direction. They went over the ocean.It's the same thing that happened with Hamas. Israel actually sells surveillance equipment to the rest of the world, based upon how well they're able to monitor and track and keep up with every Palestinian in Gaza and the West Bank. They sell this to the rest of the world, and you're going to tell me on October 7th they just didn't see it?But, you know, The New York Times is bringing out articles about the fact that Netanyahu and the rest of them were warned that this was going to happen at least a year in advance. But yet they chose not to be in place to protect their people at that time because they wanted the excuse to destroy Gaza. So they made the excuse.They made Hamas. They got Qatar to fund Hamas. Hamas was not funded by Iran. It was funded by Qatar and Israel.

Charles Upton Needs Our Help

Linh Dinh just interviewed me about my move to Morocco. Meanwhile…Charles Upton needs our help. He writes:Dear friends,Greetings of peace. I must now report that I was recently diagnosed with a fairly early stage of colon cancer. This has not come at a good time in my life because my wife Jenny and I are also facing serious economic difficulties; due to fluctuations in the bond market our investments stopped paying nearly 2 years ago, so we have been living mostly on our savings. I am also in need of extensive dental work that I can’t afford, plus some necessary home repairs, etc. etc., but it was the cancer that finally convinced me that I needed to ask for help. So I’ve started a GoFundMe campaign, which you can donate to through https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-charles-upton-survive-colon-cancer People living outside the United States who want to donate can use a major credit or debit card. Select the amount in USD; you will be charged the equivalent your own currency. GoFundMe does not charge any conversion fees, though your own bank might.After a colonoscopy discovered the tumor I was sent for follow-up to a colorectal surgeon who turned out to be rather crazy so I made no follow-up appointment. Around the same time I heard of an M.D. in a nearby town Dr. James Roach who practices world-class integrative medicine. When I consulted him he devised a regimen for me that includes a large number of herbs and supplements though his main therapeutic agent is artemisia annua (see https://www.oncology.news/2018-10-31-sweet-wormwood-powerful-alternative-to-chemotherapy.html ). I took all these events as signs that I should avoid having a large percentage of my colon surgically removed at least for now since at the age of 75 I would certainly risk ending my effective life through such an operation would likely no longer be able to take care of my wife Jenny whose health is also frail—and we might well lose our house. I also consulted with a more conventional physician at the Markey Cancer Center at the University of Kentucky in my home town of Lexington who said: “Officially I have to recommend that you have the operation nonetheless we are well aware of Dr. Roach’s interesting work some of us at the Center have consulted him ourselves. And we are presently doing a study of artemisia annua.”My problem is that the major elements of Dr. Roach’s regimen by my calculation would cost $8916.96 out of pocket for one year. (If, after that year, I see no improvement, I will considering more conventional therapy.) Some of these supplements I can probably get from cheaper sources than the company he uses but prices could go up and new supplements will apparently be prescribed in the future so I will stay with that figure. And in view of other expenses we face I’ve decided to set my GoFundMe goal at $35000.I’ve come to the conclusion that doing what I need to let God purge me from the spiritual impurities that lie behind my disease is exactly the same thing I need to do to get ready for a good death. As for which way it will go, that’s in His hands. Nonetheless I am convinced that I still have some useful things to say in view of the darkness of the times, which I have dealt with in many of my videos and books, so for me to let myself die now out of pure neglect looks to me like a willful refusal of the gifts I am being given, gifts that I am apparently supposed to pass on to others. So if you want to make it easier on me, I hope you will let me express my gratitude by using my talents as a writer or a networker to serve any needs that may present themselves to you.I’ve also produced a YouTube video as part of my outreach; you can view it at: Sincerely,Charles UptonExcerpt from our 2014 interview (podcast reposted above) on Charles’s book Vectors of the Counter-Initiation (which resonates with yesterday’s post on “Redemption Through Genocide”)Evangelical Christians you know have a certain sense of eschatology and these being the end times and the forces that are working against true religion, but they have a very narrow view of that, and a very literalistic view of that, which is valuable up to a point, but then not. And the Orthodox Christians have a critique of the traditional Catholics. They say they don’t even count as Catholics. And the Catholics who think the popes haven't been valid since Pius XII have a critique. And what I wanted to do, from the standpoint of the perennialist or the traditionalist, is to accept that all world religions—not everything that calls itself a religion, but all the major world religions—are based upon divine revelations. The Koran would agree with that in terms of the Judaism and Christianity. In Islam, that has been extended by some to Zoroastrianism and even Hinduism. So since they believe that all these religions are valid, I wanted to see if it was possible to get a view of how the New World Order is opposed to all the religions, not just anti-Christian.There are people who say “ the Ne

Will “Redemption Through Genocide” End the Golden Age of American Jews?

Rumble link Bitchute linkAre we living through a Jewish apocalypse? Many of my friends think so. Linh Dinh isn’t the only one who thinks the COVID “Jewjabs” are a plot to exterminate the goyim. Then there’s the alleged Jewish plan to destroy America through crime and unchecked immigration. Linh recently emailed me: “At least until recently, you didn't think crime has gotten out of control in SF and other American cities. By contrast, I clearly see Jew-stoked mayhem. With Soros installed prosecutors like Alvin Bragg in Manhattan and Larry Krasner in Philly, there’s a surge in crime and chaos across the USA, and Jewish Mayorkas as Secretary of Homeland Security is allowing all these illegal immigrants to flood in. You don’t see their plan behind this madness?”Well…no. I’m not convinced Jews are deliberately fomenting crime and chaos. Just as I’m skeptical about the alleged 1940s German plan to murder all Jews, I’m also skeptical of claims that Jews are deliberately trying to weaken and destroy America through crime and immigration. The evidence supporting both claims, not to mention the supposed “Jewjabs” plot, is weak.But that doesn’t mean we aren’t in the midst of a Jewish apocalypse. A quick search shows that the word apocalypse brings together two very different notions:* the complete final destruction of the world, as described in the Book of Revelation; an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale. (Google)* a Greek word meaning "revelation", "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling". (Wikiquote)Obviously the self-proclaimed “Jewish state” is inflicting “destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale” on the starving women and children of Gaza. That genocide, opposed by most of the world but supported by the US and its vassals, risks exploding into a much larger war that could kill billions and inflict destruction on an even more awesome or catastrophic scale.And then there is the war on Russia through Ukraine. The Russians have made it known in no uncertain terms that they feel existentially threatened and will respond with nuclear weapons if the tide were ever to turn too hard against them. According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock, the world is the closest it’s ever been to a civilization-ending nuclear war. What does that have to do with Jews? Some say “everything.” The neoconservative movement that hijacked US foreign policy on September 11, 2001, is about 90% Jewish, and it is this recklessly hawkish cabal that has driven the world to the brink of nuclear destruction. But aren’t American Jews mostly left-leaning doves on all matters unrelated to Israel? Yes, but their tribal leaders—the richest and most influential Jews—are not. The neoconservative movement, which sees a rabidly hawkish, ultra-militarized US empire as the necessary guarantor of Greater Israel’s security, dominates the apparatus of Jewish tribal power. When Establishment-insider Jews dissent, like the late Stephen Cohen and “rogue elephant” Jeffrey Sachs, they are quickly marginalized by the media.Jewish neocons like the recently-fired Victoria Nuland are also suspected of hating Russians, and Orthodox goyim in general, due to age-old ethnic animosities. Some see the brutal Ukraine war as a bloody Jewish-orchestrated revenge on the Slavs. That strikes me as plausible. After all, it’s widely accepted by critics of Zbigniew Brzezinski that Zbig was a rabid anti-Moscow hawk because his ethnic roots in the Polish nobility naturally led him to hate Russians with a passion. So why isn’t it equally widely accepted that American neocon Jews have destroyed Ukraine, and killed hundreds of thousands of Slavic Orthodox Christians, for similar reasons? Apocalypse as “Unveiling”If Jews are playing a disproportionate role in the ever-accelerating chaos, destruction, and bloodshed around us, the unveiling of that role, by way of the Gaza genocide-in-plain-sight, fits the second meaning of apocalypse. Though the Jewish state has been a hyper-mendacious genocide operation from the beginning—“he was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him”—Zionist genocide and big lies were much easier to ignore or spin back in that bygone era, that “golden age of Jewish lies,” before October 7, 2023.Today, the whole world is being forced to watch genocide in real time. And it is being forced to comprehend that this unbelievably cruel and horrific genocide is a quintessentially Jewish thing.Israeli Rabbi Eliyahu Mali, who heads the Shirat Moshe religious school in Israel where students serve in the military, said "there are no innocent people" in Gaza and all babies in the tiny enclave must be slaughtered. (source)Cat McGuire and I commented on this week’s False Flag Weekly News: Kevin Barrett: “Kill the babies, kill the mothers, kill the elderly people, kill them all.” That's basic Jewish

Jeff Brown on Xinjiang, climate change, Gaza genocide

Jeff Brown discusses his recent articles on Xinjiang, climate change, and more. Jeff J Brown is the author of The China Trilogy, editor of China Rising Radio Sinoland, and China Tech News Flash!, and curator of the Bioweapon Truth Commission Global Online Library.Excerpt:It's almost Ramadan and there's been a lot of propaganda in the West about a supposed genocide in Xinjiang. Now, of course, Chinese people have been posting side-by-side pictures of Gaza and Xinjiang and asking which one looks like there's a genocide going on there.It's pretty obvious that some of those reports out of Xinjiang have been grossly exaggerated.And you just wrote a piece about this.So it's almost Ramadan. Please reassure us Muslims that the Muslims in Xinjiang are going to be able to fast and they won't be forced to eat pork.Absolutely. That's all just straight out of Langley. It's just the most grotesque propaganda that they're forced to eat pork. GULAGS and concentration camps. And as I even pointed out, the United States, even in WikiLeaks, they admit that it's a joke. They admit that it's fake news, but they use it to try to destroy the Chinese economy and China's image around the world.And then a couple of years ago, people from the U.S. consulate in Guangzhou, where we were living in Xinjiang, our last three years were in Xinjiang across the border from Hong Kong, and she even publicly admitted that we know it's not true, but we are doing this as leverage to try to harm China, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. These were representatives from the U.S. consulate. So everybody knows it's a complete and total fabrication.The Chinese have had thousands and thousands and thousands from every predominantly Muslim country around the world. Clerics, professors, doctors, lawyers, politicians, diplomats, leaders have come to Xinjiang and they poured across that province and they are just totally blown away by how the people are living. As I pointed out, so none of them could report anything close to gulags or concentration camps.And what happened is, and as I explained, after the USSR collapsed, the CIA and George Soros and Ned and USAID and the whole deep state used the Russian territory to infiltrate hundreds and later thousands of terrorists trained in Libya, Syria, Turkey, Waziristan and Afghanistan and Pakistan. China had thousands, not hundreds, thousands of terrorist attacks. I didn't realize there were that many. So that means most of them were not reported. Only the most sensational ones were reported.And Jeff, what kinds of attacks were these? Were these attacks on the authorities, on military outposts, or just ordinary people?No, ordinary people like train stations, bus stations, public squares, markets, and not just in Xinjiang, but in the rest of China, too. And they were highly trained and highly skilled. Hundreds of people were killed over that time. And so the Chinese realized that they had to do something. In 2016 they passed an anti-terrorist law and so the supposed gulags in concentration camps are actually re-education or education schools to re-educate the Xinjiang people because they were completely just brainwashed. The Wahhabis were pouring money into Xinjiang and paying for mosques that were teaching fake Islam, violent Islam, etc. And those mosques were closed down. But there's still 25,000 mosques in Xinjiang.So they haven't closed all the mosques. They're not forcing people to eat pork during Ramadan.No, or drink alcohol. It's just a grotesque propaganda. The economy is booming. It's the hub of the Belt and Road Initiative to connect China to the rest of West Asia, and the double-digit economic growth.And this is the key, Kevin. This is the key. China has not had a terrorist attack since 2016. That's eight years ago. How many countries can say they have not had a terrorist attack in eight years? The United States can't. I don't think any of the countries in Western Europe can.And so they have literally through massive education, economic development, infrastructure have literally stamped out terrorism in China because it's bottom up from the people getting the people involved and it's a collective effort between Muslims and non-Muslims…Doesn't this get to the issue of the relationship between the Chinese state and different sort of ethnicities, right? China does have a lot of different ethnic groups and the Xinjiang region, of course, has these sort of Turkic speaking peoples. And what we really had here was more of a sort of a separatist nationalist problem than an Islam problem, wasn't it?Yeah, exactly. George Soros and the CIA and their ilk created this East Turkmenistan independence movement. There's another one, but it's not quite as important. And they got them into the United Nations. And of course, they've got offices in Western capitals all over the place. There are people that work there, have chairs, you know, anti-communist, anti-Chinese. Think tanks, professorships in Ivy League schools. I had

Ramadan, Climate Change, Xinjiang, "Redemption Through Genocide"...and Much More

Listen live Fridays noon to 2pm Eastern on Revolution.Radio later archived at my Substack.A while back I contacted Dr. Ridgely Abdul Mu’min Muhammad of the Nation of Islam Research Group (NOIRG) to ask about the Nation’s position on the genocide in Gaza. That question was answered by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s February 25 Savior’s Day speech, published in The Final Call as “The Genocide of Palestinians: A Test for The Whole Human Family.” Tonight Dr. Ridgely and Jeff Brown of China Rising will discuss the Gaza genocide, among other topics, on my live radio show. Tomorrow’s False Flag Weekly News covers the week’s most notable 30 stories, including Barnett Rubin’s remarkable “Redemption Through Genocide.” Rubin’s observation that Zionism is an outgrowth of messianic millenarian heresy echoes what people like me and Yusuf Hindi have been saying for years. But Rubin has an impeccable establishment resumé. Maybe he’ll help Hindi and me get some traction?Ramadan kareem! The holy month of fasting is expected to begin Sunday or Monday evening in most parts of the world. Above is the video, and below is a partial transcript, of last year’s khutba delivered on the Friday before the beginning of Ramadan. We are in the last Juma before the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. So I'm going to talk a little bit about Ramadan and about inviting people, including non-Muslims, to share in Ramadan as a kind of dawah, an expression of what Ramadan is all about.So what is Ramadan all about?F The first place to look is in Surat al-Baqarah 2:183) Believers! Fasting is enjoined upon you, as it was enjoined upon those before you, that you become God-fearing. (2:184) Fasting is for a fixed number of days, and if one of you be sick, or if one of you be on a journey, you will fast the same number of other days later on.Another translation of that would be to become God conscious, to have taqwa, to have an awareness, a direct awareness of the reality of God. And that raises the question, how does fasting make you more mindful of God?If we reflect on this—and the Quran does tell us to reflect, tells us to fakkur, to contemplate, to use our aql, our reason—and so we reflect on this and we use our reason and we realize that fasting makes us conscious of our dependence on God.When you're hungry and when you're thirsty, when you're not eating even though your stomach is telling you that you want to eat and you're not drinking any water even though your body is telling you that you want a drink of water, your mouth is dry and you feel kind of lightheaded and normally if you were just following your instincts the way we usually do throughout 11 months of the year, you'd probably look around for a drink of water.But during Ramadan, you don't. You use your consciousness and your willpower to not be a slave of your body and your physical desires. And as you feel that serious thirst, hunger, lightheadedness, first two days maybe a little bit of a headache, especially if you're withdrawing from caffeine, as I sometimes am.You start to realize how there's a limit to how much time you really can go without eating and especially drinking water. If you don't have drinking water after a day or two you're in pretty bad shape. I forget what the limit is but you'll die after a pretty limited number of days. And the same is true although you have a lot more days if you don't have any food.So we're really dependent on the rizq (provision) that Allah provides. We're dependent on the provision that Allah has given us. And fasting makes us aware of that dependence. We realize that if it weren't for all of this abundance that Allah has blessed us with in this beautiful creation……Among the first names of Allah is Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, the compassionate, the all merciful. And mercy and compassion being the first two tangible characteristics of Allah that we invoke every day when we pray. When we fast, we're reminded to feel mercy and compassion for those who don't have enough to eat or drink. And unfortunately our world hasn't yet reached the point that there aren't any people like that. Unfortunately there are probably hundreds of millions of people who are undernourished. And we should be figuring out ways to help them and to fix this kind of situation and to give the blessings of Allah to everybody and to try to take care of everybody which is the basic imperative of Islam.We need to feel that compassion for others and for the less fortunate. And when we fast, we feel what it feels like to be deprived of food and drink. And that helps us to feel that compassion for the needy. And that's a form of God consciousness.If you don't feel any compassion for people who are suffering, then you're not very conscious of God. Your taqwa level is not very high.And to the extent that you're more conscious of God and God's mercy and compassion and injunction to our mercy and compassion, you're going to feel that mercy and compassion too. And you're going to

Biden's Bogus Ceasefire Shenanigans

Press TVJoining us on this edition of the News Review, we have Professor of International Relations at Lebanese University, Mr. Jamal Waqim, who's joining us from the Lebanese capital Beirut. Also from Saidia, Morocco, we have political commentator Kevin Barrett. Gentlemen, welcome to the program.Let's start off with Mr. Waqeem. We're listening to the comments by U.S. President Joe Biden, who claims that the Israelis have put forth a rational offer. I want to get your thoughts on that. How do you read into those comments by the U.S. president? And the main question here is, can the Israelis even be trusted in such a situation?Jamal Waqim: Well, of course, Biden is supporting Israel ever since it launched its aggression against Gaza. And he's supporting all its political stances and initiatives. He wants Israel to be victorious in this aggression against the resistance in the Gaza Strip. And that's why he's endorsing all conditions and prerequisites for such an objective to be achieved. This is how we can understand Biden's comments.In this regard, of course, Israel cannot be trusted. Throughout the Arab-Israeli struggle, it was only checked by power and by force, not by any negotiations or any agreement. So that's why I believe that these conditions that have been put on the table by Israel are not acceptable to the resistance in Gaza, and this will drag on the conflict in the Gaza Strip, leading to more and more civilians being killed by the Israeli army.Mr. Kevin Barrett, I want to get your thoughts as well. Do you agree with our guest in Beirut that these conditions that are being put forth by the Israelis in Washington are not acceptable? Why is that? And do you also see that Washington and the Tel Aviv regime just keep kicking the ball down further down the field?Kevin Barrett: Yeah, I think he's right. The Israelis are looking for a so-called “temporary ceasefire” which would allow for all of their hostages to be released. And then after that ceasefire is over, they would be free to continue committing genocide and pulverizing Gaza without any restraint.Obviously that's a non-starter. The only way the Palestinian resistance can reasonably be expected to release all the Israelis in its custody is if there's going to be a permanent ceasefire, not a temporary one. And that's the main sticking point here, it seems.The Americans, unfortunately, are seeking an Israeli victory. They are on the side of the Zionists. Biden's administration is surrounded by Zionists. And they don't want to see their side lose. They also have political problems, though, because Biden will very likely lose the next presidential election if there hasn't been some kind of durable peace.Now, what he would like to see, I suppose, would be some sort of imaginary Israeli victory. But there's no such thing. That can't happen. There's no prospective path to the Israelis defeating Hamas and getting their people back alive. That's not going to happen in any Israeli “victory scenario.”But they have these delusions, Netanyahu does, because all the other alternatives involve Netanyahu leaving power and very likely entering prison. And the Americans are really just hostages of the Zionists, and so they entertain these lunatic fantasies.Ultimately, the Americans are going to have to put pressure on the Zionists to accept some kind of permanent cessation to this genocide. That's the only reasonable way this can end, and that's the only way that Biden can preserve his chances of being reelected.Professor Waqim, let's talk about the hypocritical stance that we're seeing from the United States. On one hand, they're showing that they're pushing for a ceasefire, but on the other hand, they veto three United Nations Security Council resolutions for a humanitarian ceasefire. There's also been this notion circulating that the bloodshed could stop with just one phone call from the US president. How do you view this inconsistency and hypocritical stance by Washington?Jamal Waqim: I believe that Biden administration fully supports the Israeli aggression. But at the same time they don't want to lose the Arab votes and the Muslim votes in the United States, especially since they are running in elections. So that's why on one hand they give Israel a free hand to continue its aggression against the Palestinians in Gaza, and at the same time they play this card, or let's say they try to appear as if they are trying to call for a ceasefire or an agreement in order to win over the Arab and the Muslim voters in the United States, especially since Biden is in a very dire situation right now. He's not being able to withstand the pressure by the Arab and the Muslim lobby in the United States. And at the same time, he's not faring well against his opponent, Donald Trump. All expectations say that he will lose the upcoming elections due to be held in November. And this is how we can understand the hypocritical stance of the Biden administration in this regard.Kevin Bar

Could Aaron Bushnell’s Sacrifice Spark Regime Change?

Rumble link Bitchute linkAaron Bushnell identified himself in the livestream video as he walked toward the Israeli embassy as “an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force” adding that “I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” He then lit himself ablaze and yelled “FREE PALESTINE!” over and over. -Sam Husseini (where you can watch the uncensored video)On December 17, 2010, Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, catalyzing what would become known as the Arab Spring. Bouazizi, oppressed by local authorities, sensed himself in a hopeless position—a feeling shared by many of his compatriots, who pushed back against hopelessness by way of mass uprisings. Across the Arab world the cry was taken up: الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام, “the people want to bring down the regime.” By time it was over, governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen had fallen.Last Sunday, February 25, US Air Force serviceman Aaron Bushnell burned himself to death in front of the Israeli embassy, saying “I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” Like Mohamed Bouazizi, Aaron Bushnell expressed “extreme” feelings shared by millions. And like Bouazizi, Bushnell carried out his last act in the shadow of the government building that symbolized tyranny. For Bouazizi, it was the governor’s office in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia. For Bushnell, it was the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC.In neither case was the authorities’ control of social media sufficient to dampen the fires of outrage. In 2010 Arab potentates were scrambling to get a handle on the hard-to-censor nature of the internet, while American “democracy” proponents following Gene Sharp were way ahead of them in weaponizing the newly omnipresent cell phone. Today, the pro-Palestine side of social media is outrunning the American Zionist oligarchs who dominate the legacy internet, as platforms founded by Chinese (TikTok) and Russians (Telegram) gain ground on the Zuckerbergs of the world. Suddenly, the majority of American young adults openly side with Hamas. Global outrage at Israel’s genocide of Gaza, like Arab outrage at circa-2010 dictatorships, isn’t easy to censor out of existence.Bouazizi and Bushnell were both known as good guys who went out of their way to feed hungry people—Bouazizi by giving them his produce, Bushnell by volunteering with aid groups. Both suffered under fake leftist regimes—Ben Ali’s rotten remnants of Bourgiba’s Tunisian revolutionaries, and Biden’s equally rotten corpse of what was once the party of FDR and Kennedy. Both quickly became icons of the fight against injustice.Finally, and most importantly, Bouazizi and Bushnell both lived in lands dismembered and degraded by Zionists. Bouzizi’s MENA region has been trying to excise the carcinogenic implant of the Zionist entity since it metastasized in 1948, but Zionist hands on the levers of global power won’t allow it. The gargantuan gap between the people of the region, who are in overwhelming majority anti-Zionist, and the rulers, whose pragmatism forces them to accommodate the Zionist-led West, makes normal governance in the region impossible. Bushnell’s America, too, has seen normal governance destroyed by Zionists. The Kennedy assassinations (protecting Israel’s nuclear program) and 9/11 (hijacking America’s military to destroy Israel’s enemies) were the one-two punch that KO’d American democracy. Unlike Mohamed Bouazizi, Aaron Bushnell picked exactly the right place to burn himself alive: The Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, the real center of power in post-JFK post-9/11 America. While Bouzizi’s grievance was personal, his thoughts and feelings inchoate, Bushnell knew what he was up against, and planned his last words perfectly: “I will no longer be complicit in genocide. Free Palestine!” Will Bushnell spark an “American spring”? It would be nice if the same haters-of-injustice who overran US cities during the 2020 George Floyd protests would notice a vastly greater injustice—the Zionist hijacking of America and ensuing US complicity in the genocide of Palestine—and up their game. But instead of randomly looting and burning down small businesses and retail outlets, why not protest the genocidaires themselves? There are plenty of institutions and individuals directly complicit in the Gaza genocide, starting with Israeli embassies and consulates, and including locations affiliated with AIPAC, the ADL, and the other “major Zionist organizations.” They all richly deserve to be the focus of “mostly peaceful protests.”Might Aaron Bushnell’s sacrifice spark a movement of patriotic, high-IQ service members willing to lay down their lives to end Zionist dominance of the United States? That, according to Alan Sabrosky, former Head of Strategic Studies at the US Army War College, is the only conceivable way that the Zionist golem’s death-grip on America could end. Sabrosky notes that the anti-Zionist anti-Deep-State “Constitutional counter-coup” would probably have to be led by

Alan Sabrosky on Zionist Lies & the Death of the West

Alan Sabrosky returns to his “first Friday of the month” slot to discuss ever-escalating genocidal Zionist lies including the Intercept’s exposé of Zionist Oct. 7 rape lies and the NY Times’ response; Israel’s shameless lies to the World Court; its mowing down starving Palestinians lined up for food aid and then blaming the victims; and more. Dr. Sabrosky recommends the Linux-based system Qubes (which appears to be keeping the vandals at bay) and discusses Holocaust historiography, the border crisis and the death of the West, the larger wars on Palestine and Russia, and “the pride of Carthage.”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.Excerpt:Alan Sabrosky: When I was growing up in the United States and in high school in the late 1950s and at college in the early 1960s in Michigan and Ohio respectively, there wasn't a word about anything that added up to, that was called later a Holocaust. Nothing about gas chambers, nothing about extermination camps, nothing about any huge numbers of people murdered. World War II was strictly World War I on a vaster scale and bloodier scale, and that was it. And also, by the way, no one at that time ever talked about the real Holocaust, and there were real Holocausts in World War II. I'm not talking about the Holodomor under Stalin in Ukraine before World War II. There were real Holocausts, and those were German and Japanese cities. The American Air Force burned to death over 100,000 Japanese in one night in Tokyo. The American and British Air Forces burned to death God knows how many people in German cities. The official death toll has more German civilians being killed in World War II than German soldiers. And in Japan it was much the same way. Far more Japanese civilians died under American attack than Japanese soldiers, sailors, airmen and so forth in the war.And our war against civilians is one of the reasons I think that Americans, however much you and I and those who think like us, might wring their hands about what's happening in Gaza, there is a profound indifference. And it goes beyond governmental indifference. Americans—sorry Alison Weir, I respect your work (at IfAmericansKnew.org)—but Americans do know, a lot of them do know, and if all of them knew what was happening, most wouldn't care. And that's the really sad part of it. But that's true. We wouldn't care. This is a public episode.

Israel Massacres Starving Palestinians Lined Up for Food Aid

Watch the Press TV interview above or on YouTube, Rumble, or Bitchute. Below is a rush transcriptPress TV: Rick Sterling is an investigative journalist joining us from Walnut Creek in California. We also have Kevin Barrett, editor at Veterans Today joining us from Saidiya over in Morocco. Welcome to you both. Rick Sterling, I'll start with you. There's a couple of real shocking, not that before we didn't hear shocking news coming out of the Gaza Strip. One of them is the fact that you have people in one particular incident that's now been broadcast that are eating cactus for food. The other is the massacre that took place where the military aid convoy comes, not the military, but aid convoy comes, Palestinians line up for food and then they get shot at by the regime forces and they killed over a hundred. What do you make of the fact that this is still continuing by the Israeli regime?Rick Sterling: Well, I think Israel is spitting in the face of the International Court of Justice which ruled at the end of January that Israel should stop this and they're just continuing as before. The Israeli tanks and soldiers have fired on the civilians lining up to try to get food. It's just another continuation of the genocide.Taking a look at the way that this genocide has continued, Kevin Barrett, it would not happen were it not for the U.S. support militarily for the Israeli regime. We had at one point where a Pentagon spokesperson has said that Israel has unfettered access to military equipment of all kinds, bombs, you name it. That's happening almost on a daily basis, if not on a daily basis. So doesn't that make the U.S. complicit in this and as guilty?Kevin Barrett: Yes, the U.S. is 100% complicit, and American leaders ought to be right up there on the defendant's stand in the world court, along with the Israeli leaders, and they all need to be tried, convicted, and sentenced, and in many cases executed. These are among the worst war criminals in history. There's no reason that this has to happen. There are wars that are driven by actual necessity. This is not. This is basically an act of pure aggression by these Zionist genocidal maniacs who have a crazy fundamentalist religious view. It's actually not even an authentic traditional religious view. But it's a satanic spin-off of millenarian messianic lunacy that's been percolating in that community for hundreds of years now, and it's turned into sheer genocide driven by utter madness.There's no military purpose to luring people, to starving them until they show up in the thousands to try to get a sack of flour, and then firing into the crowd with tanks, which is what just happened. Killing over a hundred people and wounding many, many hundreds more. And this is just one example of so many of these extreme, sadistic, genocidal actions by the Zionists that have nothing to do with any kind of military necessity.The Israelis keep posting videos of themselves performing atrocities and acts of extreme cruelty. For instance, just recently, I just happened to look at a few of these. An Israeli soldier filmed himself proudly destroying a children's toy store, attacking the toys. They seem to really hate children and mothers. There's some kind of psychological complex at work here.The Americans are indeed totally guilty. Joe Biden was recently filmed licking an ice cream cone and blabbering about a possible ceasefire, which he claimed, while he licked the ice cream cone, would be coming this weekend. But as the people of Gaza starve, and then are mowed down by the hundreds as they line up for the food that would keep them alive, Biden’s promises while he’s licking ice cream don’t look very sincere.They don't. Another act that has not received yet an official reaction from the U.S. President or many other U.S. officials is that self-immolation that has taken place that has led to now somewhat of a movement. Why are we not seeing a reaction to that? U.S. President Joe Biden talks about the deaths that have happened in Ukraine, for example, and showing sympathy there, but not towards someone who is employed by the U.S. government? Your reaction to that, Rick Sterling, as to what has driven someone to do that, and whether that is what Americans are now feeling, that they've reached that level of understanding to understand that a genocide is taking place.Rick Sterling: I think among the public, there's a very strong feeling that that is the case. Even months ago, 70% of the population in the U.S. supported a ceasefire. Meanwhile, the US administration has vetoed the resolutions for a ceasefire at the UN Security Council three times, most recently just a week ago. Among the public here, there's a growing realization that the mythology of Israel is not what the reality is. And it’s bringing about a sea change. The Administration has got a lot of people who are very political. They were very quick to charge China with genocide over the situation with the Uighurs. And people who’ve

Germar Rudolf introduces new Holocaust Encyclopedia

Rumble link Bitchute linkThe ongoing #GazaHolocaust is making more and more people wonder: Since the Zionists have been caught pathologically lying about pretty much everything, why should we uncritically accept their founding myth? Doesn’t the fact that the guardians of the official Holocaust narrative have to terrorize and imprison historians they disagree with suggest that they can’t win the argument using logic and evidence?Germar Rudolf's new Holocaust Encyclopedia (free online at www.NukeBook.org) offers "an uncensored and unconstrained look at the pertinent evidence that upholds the orthodox Holocaust narrative." Unlike all mainstream defenses of orthodoxy that I'm aware of, The Holocaust Encyclopedia is a very easy-to-use reference guide to the relevant evidence and sources Has the Holocaust Encyclopedia surpassed Thomas Dalton's Debating the Holocaust and Nick Kollerstrom's Breaking the Spell as the best up-to-date introduction to nuts-and-bolts of the revisionist side of the Holocaust argument?

The Crucifixion of the Original Judeo-Christians

This Sunday, I wrote an article called “The Crucifixion of the Original Judeo-Christians.” It’s scheduled to appear in the next issue of American Free Press. Around the same time I was writing the article, a U.S. Air Force service member named Aaron Bushnell burned himself to death in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. The audio file above is my reading of the article, dedicated to Aaron Bushnell. Extract:Today, the babies being maimed and murdered by Zionist bombs are multi-generational grandchildren of Abraham and Moses and multi-generational grand-nieces and grand-nephews of Jesus. The suffering, screaming mothers of those martyred Palestinian children are the descendants of the family of Mary.As I write this in late February, 2024, the Zionists have murdered almost 30,000 original Judeo-Christians since October, most of them women and children crushed beneath the rubble of buildings. Their slow, agonizing deaths resemble crucifixions, which “lead to death by suffocation and exhaustion. The shoulders have to support the weight of the body and it gets progressively harder to take a breath” (Wikipedia). Like crucifixion, the weight of rubble kills by slow suffocation and exhaustion.

Jasun Horsley on the Holocaust, Philip K. Dick, and “the technological body of evil”

Is a disembodied demonic entity or entities taking over our minds…and the world? That’s the thesis of Philip K. Dick’s classic The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. It’s also a theme explored in Jasun Horsley’s PKD-inspired Big Mother: The Technological Body of Evil. We’ll also touch on the #GazaHolocaust as well as THE Holocaust (TM), which Jasun has been discussing at his Substack.A few quotes from Big Mother:“The evidence suggests rather that artificial intelligence will arise (in fact, already has arisen) not from but through computer technology, from an external source that is able to ‘possess’ the machine and animate it, which in fact can only become known to us through the medium of technology.“As the author Philip K. Dick anticipated by some 50 years (in Martian Time-Slip), there is growing evidence that children with autism respond more naturally to objects than they do to people (especially trains). Simon Baron-Cohen, director of the Autism Research Center at the Uni- versity of Cambridge in England (as well as other ‘autism experts’), has suggested that robots, computers, and other electronic devices appeal to autists because, unlike people, they are predictable. Autists, Baron- Cohen says, ‘find unlawful situations toxic. They can’t cope. So they turn away from people and turn to the world of objects’.”“As we have defined it, autism is a condition of hyper-sensitivity or extra-consensual perception in which the ordinary physical senses are seen to overlap with apparently ‘supernatural’ or ‘paranormal’ potentialities, such as psychism, precognition, etc. The earliest depictions of autism in the field of science fiction were by Dick (‘The Minority Report’ in 1956, and Martian Time-Slip, in 1964), and emphasised this overlap. The autists in Dick’s fiction are psychics whose capacity to perceive the future and other extra-consensual realms makes them both a threat to humanity and an essential aid to it, a force to be harnessed but also, like the androids in Dick’s later novel, to be feared.” This is a public episode.

How Israel Corrupted America

Watch on Rumble Watch on BitchuteExtract:Thanks, Charlie and Jim. Good to be back with you guys. So the topic is Israel's harmful influence on the United States. I suppose I could talk for many hours about that, but I'll kind of boil it down to 15 minutes.And, you know, where do you even start?I guess some people might start back with the foundation of the Federal Reserve and World War One, and argue that Zionists had a hand in that undermining of the Republic.But I'll start in 1948 when the State of Israel was created by an act of genocide. The Zionist leaders had always known that to have a Jewish state in Palestine, they would have to kill and/or expel the native Palestinians. They didn't advertise that too blatantly, but they said it many times in so many words.Now, the average ordinary Zionists didn't know that. So there were Jews who went to Palestine, thinking this is all a wonderful thing and we'll cooperate with people there and such. But the leadership knew that it was a genocidal project from the very beginning.And so in 1948 the Zionists began massacring the local Arab population, going from village to village and bayoneting everybody to death, raping the women and then killing them, and committing these horrific atrocities. The most famous village that got that treatment was Deir Yassin, but there were a few hundred actually. These atrocities were widely advertised by the Zionists themselves. After they had murdered everybody in the previous village and raped the women and killed them, they would go with sound trucks to the next village and tell them “get out or else,” and then strafe them from the air as they fled. So this was the Nakba, the genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestine. And it was only after the Zionists had begun this genocide that the Arab countries in the region declared war on the Zionists and came in to try to save the Palestinian people from genocide.Well, the Zionists succeeded in murdering or expelling more than 80% of the people of Palestine in that very brief episode in 1948. This horrendous genocide against the population of Palestine, which is again accelerating, has been a nonstop slow motion genocide since 1948. It kind of ramped up in 1967 when the Zionists invaded the neighboring countries and stole a lot more land. And now it's ramped up again with this attempted genocide of Gaza.Now, why is this harmful for the United States? Well, let's go back to 1948, when the president was Harry Truman. He was mobbed up. He was friends with a Pendergast mob. His Jewish organized crime friends handed him $2 million in cash in a suitcase in return for his support for creating the state of Israel. (The source on that is Gore Vidal through John F. Kennedy.)The entire establishment of experts in foreign policy told Truman, do not even think about supporting this so-called state of Israel that these crazy genocidal Zionists are trying to create. The entire State Department issued a very, very strong, basically almost an order to Truman to not recognize Israel: “This will create unending bloodshed and chaos in the region and America will be dragged in forever. This will be the worst thing that could ever happen to American national interest.” And the military leaders and advisors said the same thing.And then it got worse. The Zionists hadn’t completely taken over the U.S. during the 1950s. President Eisenhower was still somewhat independent of them. And so when the Zionists teamed up with Britain and France in the Suez War, Eisenhower was able to tell them to go home. Eisenhower sided with the Arabs, the people of the region, at that time.When John F. Kennedy came into office, expectations were that he was going to side with the Arabs even more strongly. He had to give lip service to Jewish power to get elected in 1960, but the Kennedy family was well known to be quote-unquote anti-Semitic, and John F. Kennedy strongly leaned towards supporting the independence of Algeria and the other Arab causes.And Kennedy's perhaps number one priority in his brief presidency was nuclear nonproliferation, starting with preventing Israel from getting nuclear weapons. And that's probably the single biggest reason why he was murdered.So U.S. support for Israel led to yet another level of corruption, the murder of a president. Similar things were happening here in France. (I'm speaking right now from Paris.) And de Gaulle, the great French leader who led the French resistance, was also targeted by basically the same forces that killed President Kennedy in the United States. And de Gaulle narrowly escaped more than one assassination attempt by the same people, because de Gaulle also sided with the Arabs against the Zionists. And he ended up being overthrown in a color revolution in 1968. There's a whole parallel story to how France was ruined by its Zionists as well.In 1967, the Zionists, through their controlled asset Lyndon Johnson, “America's first Jewish president” according to a major Jewish magaz

US Administration Greenlights Genocide - Supplies the Bombs - Threatens UN Ceasefire Veto - Mumbles Something About a Ceasefire

My new, brief interview with Ofogh TV, TehranAs war intensifies between Israeli regime and Palestinians, what is your general opinion about what is going on in Rafah?Well, about one and a half million Palestinians are in Rafah. Many of them have been forced there by genocidal Israeli bombing of their homes and their life support systems. Now the Israeli regime's leaders are saying they are planning to invade Rafah, and the American administration is responding by telling them not to, or rather discouraging it. However, the American administration is continuing to supply the bombs that the Zionist regime is dropping on innocent Palestinian civilians, and that it will use if it attacks Rafah and invades Rafah as it's threatening to. And rather than cutting off the supply of bombs — so far the Americans have supplied the Zionists with 20,000 bombs — the Zionists are now asking for thousands more.And the Americans have agreed. The Biden administration is not even asking Congress, but going over the heads of Congress to supply the Zionists with thousands more bombs to drop on innocent Palestinians.And the Biden administration has not threatened to cut off these bombs in the event of an all-out Zionist attack on Rafah. On the contrary, it has said that it will continue to supply the Zionists with these bombs no matter what. [And the US is now threatening to veto a UN ceasefire resolution.]So it's unclear whether the American administration really has any interest in slowing, much less stopping the genocide in Gaza. It says it does. It says it wants a ceasefire. But the US administration has not backed up its words with actions. This is a public episode.

Rafiq (Robert Sean Lewis) on Atan the Revolutionary

Rafiq (Robert Sean Lewis) discusses his new novel Atan the Revolutionary, featuring a protagonist with an Inuit shaman spirit ally who helps him push back against the bankster-dominated Deep State. Atan the Revolutionary begins with grippingly convincing descriptions of an Inuit settlement in Northern Canada, then moves on to British Columbia, New York, Mexico, India, and Washington DC—a journey through spiritual and political landscapes shaped by the clash between indigenous wisdom and the evil of the world-devouring wetikos.Atan the Revolutionary explores the hidden spiritual battles behind the daily headlines, showcasing the author’s preference for indigenous immanence over cosmopolitan transcendence.Relevant quote:“A pledge to defund the federal government?”“Yeah, defund the feds and you defund the military.”“It won’t work.”“Why not?”“Because people are cowards. They’re terrified of the IRS kicking in their door. Or the FBI. You haven’t seen what goes on now. They won’t do it.”“Then we have to make them fearless.” “How do you do that?”“You wake them up to spirit.” This is a public episode.

Can We Debate?

Rumble link Bitchute linkThis week’s False Flag Weekly News begins with the Daily Wire article “Harvard Employee Harasses Jewish Student Suing School For Anti-Semitism - Asks To Debate 9/11 Conspiracies.” The implication is that it is “harassment” to ask someone to “debate 9/11 conspiracies.” Especially if that someone is Jewish. And even more especially if they are suing their school for alleged anti-Semitism.The Daily Wire hit piece targets Gustavo Espada, the financial and systems coordinator for Harvard’s Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. According to the Wire, Espada “has been active in pushing 9/11 conspiracy theories for 18 years, according to a 2006 piece in The Lowell Sun which reported he spends 10 hours a week ‘handing out literature,’ Web logging and talking with people on the street about his views on 9/11.”The thrust of the Wire hit piece is that Espada should be fired from his university job because he wants to debate 9/11. Reading the story brought back memories of a my own experience in 2006. While teaching subjects including Folklore, African Studies, and Islamic Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I had begun doing 9/11 teach-ins on campus in 2004, and then gotten involved in the national and global 9/11 truth movements. In 2006 I became the focus of a concerted pushback campaign sparked by Lynn Cheney’s group ACTA and its acolytes in the Wisconsin Republican Party. Like Espada, I repeatedly challenged my detractors to meet me in a formal debate. In September 2006, while I was under fire from the State Legislature, the UW-Madison Debate Club sponsored what was supposed to be a debate on 9/11. They arranged for me and Jim Fetzer to argue against the 9/11 Commission’s official story, and told us that a history professor and a political science professor (Donald Downs, as I recall) had agreed to defend it. But at the last minute, the two pro-official-story professors backed out. So Jim Fetzer and I were left “debating” two empty chairs. I reiterated my debate challenge. The university Provost, Patrick Farrell, told me that he would try to have the university set up some sort of formal panel discussion or debate after the media furor died down. Student newspapers at UW-Madison and UW-Oshkosh published op-eds plaintively begging for some knowledgable professor to debate and refute me. But nobody stepped forward to defend the 9/11 Commission.Six months of media hoopla (July through December 2006) made me unemployable at the University of Wisconsin. I was denied a tenure-track Islam-Humanities job at U.W.-Whitewater purely due to my views of 9/11, according to whistleblowing then-Dean of Humanities Howard Ross. And I was told by the late Professor Muhammad Umar Memon, then a member of the UW-Madison hiring committee for its Islam classes, that the committee was informed by the University administration that I must not be rehired for my Islam 101 teaching job for the same reason.Rendered unemployable due to my views of 9/11, but with nobody willing to debate me and explain why my views were wrong (privately most of my colleagues I knew personally thought my views were likely right or at least plausible) I offered a $1000 honorarium to any University of Wisconsin instructor, whether professor or TA, who was willing to defend the 9/11 Commission in a formal debate. There were no takers. Years later, the offer was raised to $2000. Still no takers.Similar debate challenges were issued at other universities. A 9/11 truth group at the University of Michigan sent letters to every professor in the Engineering department seeking someone to defend the FEMA and NIST positions on the destruction of the World Trade Center in a debate with me and Underwriters Labs whistleblower Kevin Ryan. Most didn’t respond. The few who did told the organizers, off the record, that Ryan and I were right.Could a 9/11 Debate Have Prevented Genocide?According to the tenets of liberal democracy, all important matters are supposed to be debated on the basis of logic and evidence, and the truth that emerges becomes the touchstone of public policy. Had a real debate on 9/11 ever transpired, the truth that would have emerged—9/11 was orchestrated not by al-Qaeda, but by the state of Israel and its American neoconservative allies—would have prevented the series of wars that has devastated the Middle East, including the ongoing Israeli genocide of Gaza.People resist debate when they know that logic and facts are not on their side. When would-be debaters like Espada are smeared, and their livelihoods threatened, it’s obvious that those doing the smearing know that their victims are right.Can We Debate the Ukraine War?Another topic that’s off-limits to debate is the US war on Russia through Ukraine. As with 9/11, the neoconservative propaganda talking points—the enemy is pure evil, “they” attacked “us” for no reason, and so on—are inflated to the status of sacred public myths, and anyone who wants to deba

Richard Cook on Bill Clinton the War Criminal

Before Bill Clinton’s presidency (1993-2000) came Reagan’s Central America wars and his game of nuclear chicken with the Soviets, followed by G.H.W. Bush’s brutal Gulf War I. After Clinton left office, Cheney and Bush Jr. presided over 9/11 and the wars it was designed to trigger.So were the Clinton years a golden age of relative peace and prosperity? That’s how some remember them. But Richard Cook, author of Our Country Then and Now, takes a different view. In his new review of Jeremy Kuzmarov’s Warmonger, Cook endorses Kuzmarov’s thesis that Clinton was not just a crooked Deep State asset, but the central figure in the USA’s turn from its criminally unnecessary Cold War (1948-1989) to its current and even more criminal war for perpetual unipolar global domination.

Jim Fetzer asks me about Gaza, Houthis, Holocaust, and immigration

Philosophy professor emeritus James Fetzer, a former Marine Corps officer, has published widely on the theoretical foundations of scientific knowledge, computer science, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and evolution and mentality. He is well-known for rejecting orthodoxy on a wide range of historical and political issues. He recently interviewed me for his Revolution Radio show. Below is a partial rough transcript.Jim Fetzer: I'm delighted to be joined for the second hour by my dear friend and colleague Kevin Barrett residing in Morocco. Kevin, among the developments we've been addressing during the first hour was Colonel McGregor's observation that the U.S. has no foreign policy, that in the Middle East we’re simply instruments or pawns or tools of Israel and that you can best understand what's going on there by assuming that Benjamin Netanyahu is the equivalent of a commander-in-chief of the American military. Your thoughts?Kevin Barrett: Yeah, I think it's that's pretty much the case, although it's it's not clear whether Netanyahu is 100% in control. Maybe 65%, I would say.There are reports that immediately after the successful Palestinian raid on Israel, the breakout from their concentration camp on October 7th, that the Israelis were about to go all out against Hezbollah. And according to reports, the Biden administration or whoever's in charge in the U.S. gave them a very firm no.But there haven't been very many firm no's given to Netanyahu and his crazy extremist co-ministers. So yeah they (the Zionists) are largely in charge.I recently published an article entitled “Flashpoints for War” looking over possible places where the next world war could start. One of them was Florida, where I said: Imagine it’s October 2024. Trump's ahead in the polls 55 to 45 percent and leading in the swing states. Suddenly a drone swoops down on Mar-a-Lago, smashes through a plate glass window, and stings Trump with its explosive charge. But fortunately, even before what's left of Trump is declared dead, the media tells us that an Iranian Palestinian terrorist named Lee Harvey Atta did it. He's arrested on the seventh floor of the Palm Beach School Book Depository, but is accidentally defenestrated before he can be questioned. Fortunately on the floor of the Book Depository the authorities find an Iranian-made Manlicher-Carcano drone control rig, complete with instructions in Farsi, signed by the Supreme Leader of Iran.And so that then would indeed cause Biden to fly Bibi Netanyahu straight into the White House Situation Room where he will take full control of U.S. policy.Anyway, hopefully there won't be one of these crazy false flag type events that would put Netanyahu in total charge like happened on 9/11. But you never know, do you?Well, your satirical gifts have not failed you, Kevin. I've always admired your stylistic manner of lampooning events in a way that gets right to the heart of the matter. You mentioned Florida's one location for World War breaking out. What were the other four?Well, the others were more obvious ones. Though I guess killing Trump and blaming Iran is pretty obvious, too. But the other ones included the Red Sea, where instead of a Persian Gulf of Tonkin incident, which we've all been waiting for for 20 years now, we could get a Red Sea Gulf of Tonkin incident: An American ship could go down and it could be blamed on the Houthis, whether or not they actually did it, and of course it would be blamed on Iran as well.Another possibility of course would be another attack from militias in Iraq or Syria. Any that did a whole lot of damage, killed a lot of Americans, might work.Within (Occupied) Palestine itself there's always the possibility of some kind of big event happening. Right now, so much of the world is so angry at the Zionist genocide that it wouldn't surprise me if actual no-return address WMD suddenly went off inside of Israel. That very likely wouldn't have to be a false flag, it could be true.Other flashpoints include Ukraine and Taiwan. In Ukraine, Zelensky's faction, the fanatics, don't want to give up. So the only way they even have a chance is to drag NATO into it, and that would take a big false flag, like maybe a nuke blamed on Russia.And then over in Taiwan, the final flashpoint that I listed, clearly that's the big kahuna that would pit the number one power, the US versus the rising number two power, China. The Americans have been provoking the Chinese and poking the dragon for years. And if they poke hard enough, the dragon might bite back and we'd be off to the races.I so admire the Houthis and stand with them, and yet they're having to suffer ongoing bombardment by the U.S. and the U.K., which is taking place in violation of international law, the Geneva Convention, the laws of war and all the rest. It is shameful.Well, I think the Houthis have a pretty good argument that they are enforcing the World Court's judgment that has ordered the Israeli government to stop

Anthony Hall on Israeli Reaction to ICJ Genocide Ruling

Anthony Hall, Professor Emeritus of Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge, discusses his new article “Thousands of Israeli Jews Responded to the ICJ Ruling on Israeli Genocide By Dancing and Chanting ‘Death to the Arabs’.” Hall notes that just days after the ICJ ordered Israel to stop committing genocide, and to prevent and punish incitements to genocide, what amounted to a “Genocide Incitement Conference” was held last Sunday at the Jerusalem International Convention Center featuring 11 government ministers and 15 coalition lawmakers. Participants called for starving the Gazans (“don’t give them food…they will have to leave…”) and demanded the death penalty for “terrorists” (Gazans who remain in Gaza).How will the ICJ respond? Will anyone, outside the Axis of Resistance, enforce its anti-genocide order?Update: Prof. Hall just published a new article developing his criticism of the ICJ ruling. Compare it to the counter-arguments of Moon of Alabama and Craig Murray. This is a public episode.

Flashpoints for War!

Rumble link Bitchute linkI remember learning in school that the flashpoint for World War I was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. Like most people, I never quite understood how the first-ever World War, involving over 30 nations and leading to almost 20 million deaths, resulted from a gratuitous murder by a handful of radical students. Apparently universities should keep a very close eye on student organizations!I later encountered the realist school of geopolitics, which argues that the Great War was a disaster waiting to happen. The actual cause of the war, according to realists, was not a random assassination, but the rise of German (and to a lesser extent Russian and American) economic and military power, which threatened the then-British-dominated world order. Realists say this pattern is not uncommon. A number one power, alarmed at the rise of a number two challenger, allies itself with the number three power, but ultimately fails to maintain its position. The shifting power dynamics, in which the number one power no longer has the economic and military might to back up its top ranking, produces a major war, whose aftermath establishes the new international pecking order. In the case of the two World Wars, which were really one war with two major episodes, the thalassocratic British empire exhausted itself fighting Germany, allowing the US to seize the number one spot.Today, the US empire is in a position not unlike Britain’s circa 1914. Having industrialized first, built a huge navy, and developed the necessary skills to “rule the waves” and colonize the wogs, the Brits had benefitted from a huge head start; but by 1914 the Germans, Russians, and Americans were catching up, and the Brits no longer had enough relative power to enforce unipolar world domination. Likewise, 2024 America is still coasting on the fumes of its gigantic post-World War II head start on the rest of the world. The US emerged from World War II with roughly 50% of global GDP. In 1960 it was still 40%. But the decline since then has been steady. Today the US only controls 13% of global GDP. But it still imagines itself as the global Goliath it was in 1960—or maybe even bigger, since the Soviet ideological challenger has disappeared, and the grandiosely narcissistic neocons have seized the helm of the ship of state. A major war that will reset power relations and take the US down several notches seems almost inevitable.* The question remains, where will the flashpoint be?The neocons, in their infinite wisdom, have made it difficult to guess, having alienated so much of the world that the coming take-down-the-US World War could break out practically anywhere. Russia and its borderlands…China and its southern sea and/or its errant province of Taiwan…and now, with the genocide of Palestine making the Islamic world even angrier than Russia and China, the whole middle belt of Eurasia and North Africa is equally hostile territory.But before we start globetrotting in search of flashpoints, why not begin imagining the transforming event a bit closer to home? If the assassination of heir-presumptive Archduke Ferdinand, attributed to allegedly state-supported radical fanatics, could set off World War I, could an assassination of presumptive 2024 president Donald Trump, attributed to radical Iran-supported fanatics, unleash World War III? Flashpoint FloridaImagine: It’s October 2024. Trump is leading in the polls 55%-45% nationwide, with a clear edge in all the swing states. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a drone swoops down on Mar-a-Lago, smashes through a plate glass window like a supermosquito on steroids, and stings Trump with its explosive charge just as he’s breaking open his seventh can of diet coke. (Cinematographically, we cut from a close-up of the pssssssst as Trump opens the can to a medium shot of the almost simultaneous explosion.)Fortunately, almost before what is left of Trump is declared dead, the media tells us who did it. A radical Iranian-Palestinian terrorist named Lee Harvey Atta is arrested on the seventh floor of the Palm Beach School Book Depository and accidentally defenestrated before he can be questioned. Luckily, on the floor of the book storeroom, authorities discover an Iranian-made Manlicher-Carcano drone control rig complete with instructions written in Farsi, signed by the Supreme Leader of Iran. President Biden, whose cognition has been revived to functionality thanks to an Elon Musk (TM) brain implant, appears on television extravagantly praising the late and much-lamented Trump, canceling the election, declaring that all Americans are united in their thirst for vengeance, and calling for an all-out war on Iran to be personally commanded by a certain Bibi Netanyahu, who will be Lear-Jetted and then helicoptered in from Tel Aviv to take charge in the White House Situation Room. With the mutterings of conspiracy theorists silenced by the new AI-driven censorship algorithms, the US and the w

The Whole Region Wants the US Out!

Joining us on this edition of the News Review we have writer and political columnist Saeed al-Shehabi who's joining us from the British capital London and also joining us from Saidia, Morocco, we have editor of Veterans Today, Mr. Kevin Barrett. Gentlemen, welcome to the program.Let's jump right in, Mr. Shahabi, and give us your thoughts on the recent comments coming from the Iranian president. President Raisi said that there will be a strong response to any possible bullying against Tehran.Saeed al-Shehabi: Thank you very much. The situation in the Middle East generally is very tense at this moment because of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the killing, the maiming. And of course, its extraterritorial attacks on other countries, on Syria, on some parts of Iraq.So all this has put Israel in the limelight of the crisis. It seems to me that the Israelis believe that they can only survive in an atmosphere of war. So as long as there is war, they will survive. If there is peace, they cannot survive. So they are threatening to strike and supported by America. But America also, American involvement in the region is destabilizing the region….Mr. Kevin Barrett, the Iranian President said that the adversaries and enemies, in his own words to the Islamic Republic, used to resort to language of threat against Iran, even stating on multiple occasions that the military option was on the table, but he also said that they're not seeking a confrontation with the Islamic Republic. Do you think that the United States was ever at a point where it was contemplating any form of military action against Iran, most notably recently?Kevin Barrett: Well, I think the American side is undoubtedly contemplating some form of escalation in its relatively low level back-and-forth—it’s not a war, but there has definitely been pressure put on the American occupation of the region by various Axis of Resistance groups. In the wake of the (Tower 22) attack that killed three American servicemen and wounded a lot more, the Americans were probably doomed to escalate to some extent. But then the question became: Would they try an actual attack within Iran’s borders, and how big would it be if they did? This would of course threaten to escalate into a regional war, because obviously Iran would retaliate, as President Raisi made clear. Or will they continue with the tit-for-tat exchanges with various resistance groups?The Americans are operating illegally in Iraq. The Iraqi parliament has voted to expel the US and the US hasn’t left, so it is an illegal occupying power. And it’s an even more blatantly illegal occupying power in Syria. The recent attacks on Americans (at Tower 22 in Jordan) happened right next to the Syrian border. And one could argue that Jordan is also occupied and that decisions for Jordan are made from within the gigantic American embassy compound there. So the US occupation of the region, which is not popular in the region, especially now that the Zionist genocide of Palestine has gone into high gear, has led to the situation where the local resistance groups are much more likely to want to target American shipping in the Red Sea, American occupying forces in Iraq and Syria, and put pressure on the Americans.The thought would be that perhaps the U.S. would dial back its support for the genocide of Gaza. And so in this confrontation, the Axis of Resistance is on the side of enforcing international law and the judgment of the World Court that just found probable cause that Israel is engaged in genocide in Gaza. Whereas the Americans are genocidal global outlaws. I don’t think the Americans want to escalate the war in the region (especially) in this situation in which they are the outlaws and are hated by the vast majority of people in the region.The Iranian President said that Iran's military might poses no threat to the West Asian region and that regional countries can rely on Iran's military power. Is he once again hinting to comments the Iranian President specifically has made in the past stating that, listen, we can take care of security in our region, ourselves, regional countries, and basically foreign forces, they need to pack up their bags and leave?Saeed al-Shehabi: Look, number one, the security of the Persian Gulf should be left to the people of the region. It shouldn't be secured through the presence of international or western or American and British warships there. If the security of that important place is left to the people, then the likelihood of flare-up of tension and wars will be much less. This is number one.Number two, the Iranians are known for their tit-for-tat policy. I still remember what happened I think in 1986 in a meeting in Switzerland when some Kurdish people were there and they had attacked some Iranian installations and the Iranians went also and attacked them. All in all, the Iranians will not keep quiet if they are subjected to an attack. And this is what the Iranian president said, that Iran wi

Alan Sabrosky on How the Romans Encouraged “Voluntary Migration” from Carthage

Alan Sabrosky, former Head of Strategic Studies at the US Army War College, joins this show on the first Friday of each month. Unfortunately his connection dropped off at the 20’30” mark so the rest of this show features my monologues and conversations with producer Mr. Rho, interspersed with attempts to re-establish the connection.During our 20 minutes of conversation “Doc” Sabrosky raises the usual issues—wars in West Asia and Ukraine, prospects for civil war in light of Biden’s border crisis, will there even be a 2024 election, the Israeli genocide of Palestinians—and disagrees with Ron Unz’s latest article, which posits (echoing HG Wells) that today’s Jews are not the descendants of Khazars or Judeans, but instead may trace much of their ancestry to ethnically Phoenician/Carthaginian elements of the Roman Empire.Did the Romans’ “final solution to the Cathaginian question” that involved “encouraging voluntary migration” from Carthage ultimately fail? Did surviving Carthaginians and others of Phoenician ethnicity persist among the dregs of the Empire, with some of them converting to Judaism and becoming ancestors of today’s Jews? Sounds plausible to me—but not to Alan Sabrosky. This is a public episode.

Literary Self-Criticism (re: "Damn the Jews!")

Posting an article headlined “Damn the Jews!”—even in quotation marks—is asking for trouble. An old friend emailed me with the subject header: “IN REGARD TO DAMN THE JEWS—sad to see you descend into dehumanized hatred.” She pointed out: “There are good Jews ....and bad Jews....good Muslims and bad muslims....good Christians and bad....Good Hindus and bad... Don't you think, Kevin, we are also individually each a mixture of good and evil?”A colleague and occasional radio guest wrote: “Conflating Jews with Zionists is what Zionists do best. How could you?!!! You are, effectively, on THEIR side when you repeat their most important fundamental lie.” Other commentators made similar points, arguing for “damn the ZIONISTS!” instead.My initial response was: “Did you read the article? The title is in quotes! It is a translation of the Houthi slogan! The article is (dark) humor!!!” My old friend admitted she hadn’t read the article and was just reacting to the headline. Others had read it but still found it offensive. I asked whether I should engage in some “literary self-criticism.” Several said “yes!” So here we go.Literary Self-CriticismSome writers, like Joyce, Kafka, and Pynchon, have whole industries of scholars interpreting their oeuvres. Others, like me, are condemned to self-exegesis, which I suppose is better than having no exegetes at all.As Mikhail Bakhtin might say if he were alive and employed by a university that paid him to interpret the works of Kevin Barrett, “Damn the Jews!” is polyphonic. That means that the same phrase (“damn the Jews!”) includes echoes of different, opposing voices that impose different meanings on those words. In the title of my article, I put that phrase in quotation marks, a sign that someone else is saying them, to help readers figure that out.From a Houthi perspective, and indeed from an Arab and Muslim perspective generally, “damn the Jews” or “a curse upon the Jews” or however you want to translate اللعنة على اليهود isn’t shocking or controversial, any more than a circa-1944 American saying “damn the Germans” would have been to American ears of that era. The Arab and Muslim worlds have effectively been at war with Israel and organized Jewry ever since the Jewish State’s genocide of Palestine began in earnest in 1947-1948—just like the American state was at war with the German state in 1944.If you were an American who said “damn the Germans” in 1944, would anyone have taken offense? Would they have insisted “you should damn the Nazis, not all Germans! After all, there are good Germans and bad Germans…” I doubt it. Though there was and is a theoretical distinction between the German nation, consisting of all ethnically-German people, and the German state, few Americans cared much about that distinction in 1944, any more than most Arabs and Muslims care about the distinction between “the Jews” and the Jewish State today. That’s why saying “damn the Jews” in an Arab or Muslim context is uncontroversial.Though I’m living in Morocco, where few are bothered by the Houthi anti-Jewish slogan, I write for an international anglophone audience dominated by Americans, but including a fair number of Arabs and Muslims from around the world. So I am hyper-aware that a phrase like “damn the Jews” is going to sound very different to different ears. Americans, whose government underwrites the genocidal Jewish State, and who get their views from the Jewish-dominated media, have been trained to be hypersensitive to mythical “anti-Semitism.” In the USA, say anything remotely negative about Jews and your career and reputation will be destroyed. Americans internalize this taboo against “anti-Semitism” and start sweating bullets when they hear something like “damn the Jews.” It’s a Pavlovian, emotionally-driven reaction. (Oddly, the same people who freak out about “damn the Jews” are muttering “damn the Russians” at cocktail parties. Don’t they know that it isn’t all Russians?!)Polyphony, specifically the tension between conflicting understandings of the same words, easily shades into humor. It’s darkly funny, when you think about it, that Americans and Arabs/Muslims react to “damn the Jews” in such radically different ways. (It’s also rather hilarious that Americans have been so completely and utterly brainwashed by the Jewish cowboys running herd on their goyim cattle, in the immortal words of Revilo P. Oliver—but that joke is on the Americans…and the Jews, sorry, I mean the cowboys, are laughing all the way to the bank.)So to recap: My article “Damn the Jews!” playfully addresses the humorous incongruity between the way two cultures “hear” the Houthi slogan in general, and its fourth line in particular. The standard translation “A curse upon the Jews” is hilarious, as my article attempts to convey, because it is simultaneously so clunkily archaic and so “anti-Semitically” transgressive. That’s why I offered the Houthis tongue-in-cheek PR advice, and solicited my readers to offer more.The Moral

Elon Goes to Auschwitz

Rumble link Bitchute linkIn yesterday’s False Flag Weekly News, E. Michael Jones and I cringingly marveled at the pathos of Elon Musk’s visit to Auschwitz. The horror!Whatever you think of gas chambers, there is no denying that Israel is slaughtering civilians, most of them women and children, by the tens of thousands. And as Dr. Jones pointed out, the Holocaust is the get-out-of-jail-free card endlessly played by the #GazaGenocide perps. By making a pilgrimage to Auschwitz, Holy of Holies of the Holocaust Religion, on the eve of the World Court’s decision in favor of South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, Musk was implicitly endorsing the genocide of Gaza.What makes Elon “I am aspirationally Jewish” Musk’s Auschwitz rollover even sadder is that the Holy Holocaust is at the absolute epicenter of the ongoing war on free speech. Across-the-board, censorship on nearly every issue is being led by powerful elements of the Jewish community, whose hysterical attempts to suppress speech they disagree with is driven, consciously or unconsciously, by fears that free and fearless debate might ultimately lead to the collapse of the official sacred narrative of the Nazi Holocaust and subsequent loss of the get-out-of-jail-free card that has enabled the post-World War II Jewish takeover of America and the West.Long before the current censorship epidemic broke out around 2016, historians who questioned the canonical version of the Holocaust narrative were being persecuted and imprisoned. The sacred Holocaust story, with its holy trinity (gas chambers, six million dead Jews, and an official total-extermination plan) and its resurrection miracle (Israel) was the one and only exception to Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:“Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”Since 2016, exceptions to Article 19 have been proliferating. The list of things you are no longer allowed to talk about on major internet platforms has expanded to include COVID, vaccines, election integrity or lack thereof, and whatever else the self-appointed censors happen to feel like suppressing at any given moment.Elon Musk bought Twitter in part to push back against this war on free speech. He famously said that he didn’t think internet censorship should get too far ahead of the law, meaning the history of First Amendment jurisprudence in the US as well as the various legal requirements of other nations. In other words, if it isn’t illegal, you probably should be allowed to post it on Twitter.The censorship lobby, dominated by powerful Jewish interests, pushed back. The Anti-Defamation League, spear-tip of organized Jewish power in North America, pilloried Musk and organized a boycott that threatened Twitter’s, and Musk’s, economic viability. Driven to paroxysms of outrage by Musk’s endorsement of the Great Replacement “conspiracy theory,” according to which Jews are behind the systematic replacement of white majorities through excessive immigration, the ADL and friends convinced hundreds of America’s biggest companies to stop advertising on Twitter/X. Musk responded by uttering a couple of shrill little “f-you” barks, then whimperingly scurried off to Auschwitz to display his bright-yellow belly.So when Musk says he aspires to be Jewish, what he is really saying is that he wishes that he, too, had that kind of power. As long as he remains a goy, even Musk’s 200-billion dollar fortune can’t save him from second-class-citizen status. As a rich but still subhuman goy, he is not allowed to speak his mind. And because he is non-Jewish, he doesn’t have the right to permit certain kinds of speech—speech that Jews don’t like—on his platform. So who can blame him for his “aspirations”? Plenty of people were “aspirationally Medici” during the Medici dynasty, “aspirationally Tudor” under the Tudors, and “aspirationally Romanov” in 19th-century Russia. Today, such brown-nosers are “aspirationally Jewish.” E. Michael Jones, that notable Catholic, and yours truly, a proud lapsed-Unitarian-turned-Muslim, clearly do not harbor any such Jewish aspirations. Below is the section of our conversation that turned on Elon’s canine submission ritual.Let's move on to the title of our show, Elon Goes to Auschwitz. This was quite the bizarre, surreal scenario this week, as Elon Musk, who has been harassed by the ADL constantly, is maybe trying to get them off his back by going and kissing the gas chambers. I guess they don't still have gas chambers there, if they ever did, which I kind of doubt, having looked into it a little bit. But maybe he's kissing the walls where there would be Prussian blue or hydrogen cyanide residue if there indeed had been any gas chambers. Although actually they wouldn't, because those “gas chambers” were actually rebuilt by the Russians after t

John Andrew Morrow on Gaza Genocide & "Islam and Slavery"

Islamic scholar John Andrew Morrow, founder of the Covenants Initiative, discusses his new book Islam and Slavery.Everyone knows Islam is against debt slavery, the inevitable consequence of usury. But what about other forms of slavery? One school of thought holds that since domestic slavery was ubiquitous and unquestioned at the time of the Prophet (saas) and is not clearly and directly banned by Islamic scripture, it is permissible. In Islam and Slavery Dr. Morrow takes the opposite view: “The Qur’an encourages and even requires Muslims to emancipate enslaved people. As far as the exponents of Islam’s spiritual, moral, ethical, and egalitarian tradition are concerned, the Qur’an, the Prophet, and Islam introduced a system that would reform the practice of slavery and abolish it entirely and forever.”Extract:As an academic, I'm asked to peer-review articles that are submitted or to write reviews of books. Reading Religion, which is the name of the journal, sent me the list of books that were available for review and I proposed a few of them. They came back to me and asked me to review Slavery and Islam. (Reads) In Slavery and Islam, Dr. Jonathan A.C. Brown, the Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown University, devotes over 400 pages to support his conviction that slavery and concubinage are permissible according to the Quran and the teachings and practice of the Prophet Muhammad. He is adamant that God and His Messenger allowed, condoned, and supported them. In his words, the permissibility of slavery and concubinage is undeniable in the Quran. Rather than abolish sexual slavery, Brown asserts that Muslim jurists embraced the practice fully and took it to its maximum. He admits that the number of concubines taken by Muslims jumped dramatically with the early Islamic conquests. Brown also stresses that, in Islamic law, consent for sexual relations was assumed or irrelevant. Not only does he argue that sex slaves played a central role in Arab and Ottoman slavery, but he goes as far as to trivialize the age of consent. Moreover, he argues that freedom is not a fundamental human right in Islamic law, and treats serial polygamists who had hundreds of sex slaves as moral exemplars. Brown equates opposition to the institution of slavery and sexual servitude as opposition to the Messenger of God. He considers those who oppose slavery but refuse to condemn the Prophet to be hypocrites. When faced with dissenting views on the disputed subject of the legitimacy of slavery in Islam, Brown's strategy is to respond with a loaded trick question and a theological trap: Did the Prophet Muhammad commit a grave moral wrong? For Brown, a Muslim does not remain a Muslim if he or she answers in the affirmative.Consequently, he provides a jurisprudential justification for the practice of Takfir, namely the excommunication of so-called heretics and apostates, and provides ample evidence that Muslims of a long history of enslaving other Muslims who do not share their ideology. Brown may claim to believe that slavery is wrong. However, he makes an important disclaimer: “As a Muslim myself, I cannot condemn it as grossly, intrinsically immoral across space and time. To do so would be to condemn the Quran, the Prophet Muhammad, and God's Law as morally compromised.” However, rather than support Islamic abolitionists, he assumes the role of the devil's advocate, devoting an inordinate amount of time in his book to dismissing, debunking, and repudiating their arguments as violating the Quran, the Sunnah, and the Sharia.If one rejects the views of Muslim scholars who spurn slavery, is one an opponent or supporter of this evil and abominable institution? In fact, Brown wonders whether slavery is in the DNA of Islam. In his words, “we can't pretend it's not a part of our religion.”Brown's entire work is an ideological defense of slave master Islam. That it comes from a white American Muslim is even more abhorrent.This is the product of a conscious choice. His work is not simply a survey of historical opinions on the permissibility of enslavement, human bondage, sexual captivity, subjugation and violation. It is a validation of those views.Alternative interpretations of Islam which are abolitionist and emancipatory are amply available. He is perfectly familiar with the arguments in evidence, namely that sexual relations are only permissible in wedlock and that the Prophet Muhammad stated that slave traders were the worst of human beings. Brown, however, has deliberately decided to denounce them. The fact remains that there is not a single verse in the Quran that commands slavery. The verses that touch upon the topic are descriptive. They deal with a temporal socio-economic reality.Slavery is neither an article of faith, nor is it a religious obligation. In fact, the Qur'an encourages and even requires Muslims to emancipate enslaved people. As far as the exponents of Islam's spiritual, moral, ethical, and egalitarian

Kabir Helminski on Gaza and “What Would a Moral Israel Look Like?”

Kabir Helminski, one of the best-known names in American Sufism, discusses “Gaza: Witnessing for Justice” and “What Would a Moral Israel Look Like?”Kabir Helminski is co-director and co-founder — together with his wife Camille Helminski(also profiled in the Living Spiritual Teachers Project) — of The Threshold Society, a nonprofit educational foundation that has developed programs to provide a structure for practice and study within Sufism and spiritual psychology. He is a Shaikh of the Mevlevi Order of Sufis, which traces its inspiration to Jelaluddin Rumi, and has authored and translated numerous books. (more)Excerpt from the first 15 minutes:Welcome to the live edition of Truth Jihad Radio. I'm Kevin Barrett, waging the all-out struggle for truth from my new home in Saidia, Morocco. Well, it's not that new. I've been here since late July, and today is Friday, January 26, 2024. Just a few hours ago, the International Court of Justice ruled that South Africa has presented a plausible case that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The ICJ ruled that indeed it has jurisdiction, that it orders Israel to prevent acts of genocide and to take measures to prevent genocide and report back to it about what it has done in one month. It has ruled that Israel must prevent and punish incitement to genocide. Israel must allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. And the ICJ obliges Israel to protect Palestinian lives.It does not order a ceasefire, but actually there are questions about whether the court can order a ceasefire, which is really a military term rather than ordering remedies for genocide, which is the current case. So this is a historic ruling and to discuss it on tonight's show I'm very pleased to bring on two great American spiritual leaders who in fact are both Muslim spiritual leaders.Kabir Helminski is one of the great interpreters of Jalal ad-Din Rumi, and he has translated him. He and Coleman Barks are the two big names in Rumi's studies. He has done all kinds of amazing work that I was following long before I came to Islam, and it's great to have him on the show tonight.And then in the second I will bring on John Andrew Morrow, another great American Muslim spiritual leader, who is the number one force alongside Charles Upton, of course, in pushing the Covenants Initiative, publicizing the Covenants of Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him, to protect other religions.So let's talk about Gaza and other things, starting with Kabir Helminski. Welcome, Kabir.How are you? Thank you, Kevin. Happy to be here for the first time.…My own work is primarily in the field of what I might call applied spirituality. It's within a traditional Islamic framework. And at the same time, I believe it's we're sharing universal truths and training hearts and minds to know what a human being truly is and what the human being's relationship to reality, to the divine reality actually is.And so this is really my focus and it's also within Rumi's tradition, a 700 year old tradition. And so when I speak today, I'm not speaking in the name of any organization, not in the name of my spiritual lineage, for the non-profit Threshold Society, where we do our work, but I'm speaking solely as an individual.And we have to take the broadest possible perspective on human affairs today, both in order to be fair and just and also not to lose hope. And this decision by the International Court of Justice is a welcome sign that humanity as a whole is able to rule, is able to…name this atrocity for what it is, and to call for justice.Always we want to remember that our fight is not against individual souls, though individual souls can go astray. Individual souls can be instruments of great injustice, but we're not the judge of anyone. And from a spiritual perspective, we could say that we have no enemies, as the prophets themselves had no enemies. Truth be known, anyone who is an enemy of the prophets is really an enemy to themselves.So we are in the side of Abraham and Solomon and David and Moses, all of the Hebrew prophets, and Jesus, son of Mary, and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them all. And those prophets have often taken a very critical view of their own peoples and have spoken up against injustice. And at the same time there's no place for hatred in this. Hatred is a toxin that would poison us. So it's not easy, I know. And we feel anger and rage and we just want to be able to take the weapons from the hands of criminals wherever they are.But hopefully this ruling by the court of justice is one step in that direction and as depressing and painful as these recent months have been, we also take hope in that this could be a turning point for humanity. More and more people are waking up. More and more people are becoming aware of 75-year history of the occupation of Palestine.And there's always a mystery when we see the fact that evil exists in this world. And what is evil? Evil is cruelty and injustice. And even more so evil is taking pleasure in crue

Palestine vs. Israel: "There Has Never Been Such a Clearcut Case of Good vs. Evil"

Trained as a journalist by the BBC, Tony Gosling is a British land rights activist, historian & investigative radio journalist. He interviewed me last night (Jan. 24). Below are selected extracts. -KBTony Gosling: So what do you make of what's been going on in Gaza? Most people looking at this absolutely horrified. And we do see a large proportion of the press, particularly the Murdoch press, doing everything they can, bending over backwards, to defend the actions of Netanyahu and the Israeli state.Kevin Barrett: It’s absolutely disgusting. It is the most in your face transparent genocide in human history. You can argue about what really happened in the Armenian genocide between Armenia and Turkey. You can even argue whether that really was a genocide, as some Turks do. You can make the same kinds of arguments around the Jewish Holocaust of World War II. And indeed, the Holocaust revisionists have a surprisingly good case for many of their contentions. And so you can argue until the cows come home about these horrific mass killings and ethnic cleansings that have defaced the history of humanity.But you can't really argue about what's going on in Gaza now, because it's all being televised. The genocide is on television and it's being covered nonstop, even though the Israelis have murdered more than 100 journalists already and counting, trying to make sure it doesn't get reported.Israel is clearly deliberately targeting civilians, civilian infrastructure, deliberately destroying fresh water supplies, blocking food supplies, blocking fuel supplies in the middle of winter, and then blowing up the housing. They’ve blown up the majority of the housing in Gaza. The Israelis are very clear in their intention to murder as many as they can and expel the rest. That’s genocide. It’s the clearest case of genocide under international law that has ever existed. The Israelis are currently in court, being prosecuted by South Africa for genocide. We're expecting a preliminary ruling on the emergency measures that may be ordered on Friday.So every one of these Murdoch papers, every one of these journalists, every one of these people who are defending this genocide are guilty of complicity in that genocide. And theoretically, they all are subjected to the legal punishments for mass murder, conspiracy to commit mass murder and genocide which would be life in prison in many jurisdictions and death in others.Well we're seeing though, aren't we, amazingly many Zionists actually out on the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, particularly Tel Aviv, and Haifa as well by the way, even campaigning with Palestinians. Many Zionists believe that Netanyahu is in the process of completely destroying their dream.I understand why they think that, because this has been a complete disaster for Israel. And one of the reasons Israel is pursuing this horrific and genocidal and indeed self-destructive policy is because Netanyahu can't stop or he might not only be thrown out of office but he might go to prison. Basically as soon as that war emergency is done then Netanyahu faces his legal reckoning for corruption cases. And once he’s out of power he’s going to be very, very vulnerable. His only hope is to stay in power, and the only way he can stay in power is as a sort of wartime commander-in-chief. So Netanyahu’s interests are overruling Israel’s interests in its own self-preservation.It’s possible that the Palestinian resistance calculated this when it thought about what they would be doing on October 7th. They may have seen this vulnerability, that they could put Netanyahu in a position where he would pursue a self-destructive course. I think they thought it likely that Israel would go into Gaza. And the Palestinian resistance has built powerful fortifications in Gaza in the form of a tunnel network that was designed to basically pull the Israelis into a sort of Chinese finger trap where they can't possibly win.And so all Israel has been able to do is mass murder civilians and get itself prosecuted for genocide and suddenly wake up most of the world to the crimes of Israel and arguably to change the world's view of Jews as a group.Jews have been enjoying a kind of impunity since World War II. Throughout all of history up until World War II, Jews were looked on as having very problematic characteristics by virtually every people that they'd ever been in contact with. And then with the Holocaust narrative that came out of World War II, suddenly Jews enjoyed total impunity. And they've been running roughshod ever since, and basically took over the United States.And now with this genocide, suddenly huge numbers of people are not only rethinking Israel versus Palestine, but they're also noticing that this ridiculous impunity that Jewish power has been enjoying now since World War II needs to be critiqued and taken down.A lot of the Jews that we speak to would argue that it's not Jewish power you're dealing with there, that Zionism is a hijacking of th

Charles Upton on UFOs, Demons, and the (Apparent) Triumph of Evil

Last minute schedule change! Noted author Charles Upton, John Andrew Morrow’s Covenants of the Prophet colleague, will stand in for Dr. Morrow, who will instead appear on next week’s show. Below are selections from our conversation.Charles Upton: Recently, though, people have been asking me to talk about the UFO phenomenon because I have a book out about that called The Alien Disclosure Deception. I've got this huge long list of ufologists or people interested in the phenomenon. So I took that opportunity to say what I think is going on. It appears that the elements of the intelligence complex have been attempting to found something like a UFO religion. They may not call it that, but it has many of the characteristics of a religion. And one of the main dogmas of this religion is that we were created by the UFO aliens.It's got everything that one would need psychologically for a religion. It isn't true, but psychologically it fulfills the function of religion, but what's great about it is you don't have to give up your materialism. You can say, well, yes, we have been created, their higher beings have created us, but of course they did it scientifically, they did it through genetic engineering. You know, God is a superstition, but this is real. It's a viral meme, if you will. Many, many people are saying that.Number two, check into the career, the life and career of Jack Parsons, and then check into the life and career of Michael Aquino. Michael Aquino was a colonel, a high-ranking Army officer at the Presidio in San Francisco. He was accused of running some sort of a satanic pedophile situation with a daycare center there. And he was involved in, as a founder or a major member, of large satanic organizations, the Temple of Set and the Church of Satan.He was kicked out of the Church of Satan for being too evil.So, did the Temple of Set come later?Yeah. It sounds like a joke, but he really was kicked out of the Church of Satan for being too evil, and then he founded his own thing, the Temple of Set.Yeah, okay, well, right, to his own tastes. So, one of my friends, Eric Doherty, who is a pretty good researcher, said that the military, I suppose the army, sent him (Aquino) to investigate the Roswell crash. So he was like a liaison from the U.S. Army to whoever was investigating or operating around the so-called crash of the alien spacecraft in Roswell…And then that when people start looking into that (Satanic child abuse) then suddenly we get all this pizzagate stuff, and then a pushback against it.Do you remember when was the satanic panic?Yeah, it was in the 80s.Basically what happened then is more and more reports of satanic atrocities were coming before police departments. And so they started to investigate things. And so the way the satanists dealt with that was simply to flood the world with reports. Jenny and I recently saw that movie, The Sound of Freedom. Did you ever see that?No, I haven't seen that yet. I've heard all about it, of course.Just as an adventure film, it's a pretty good film. But, of course, against all of the pushback and the stonewalling, it succeeded in coming out and was extremely successful in its first week, against all odds. Jim Caviezel, who played Christ in Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ.(Tim Ballard) was with Homeland Security for quite a while, going after human traffickers, doing sting operations where he could get some of the many, probably millions of children who are being trafficked in this world now, out of the clutches of some of the people who captured them.It was amazing to see who opposed that film. A lot of the major media couldn't just ignore it, and so they did these disgusting reviews. Rolling Stone said that this is ridiculous, this is right-wing paranoia, this isn't happening.According to somebody's estimation, something like 30,000 unattached children ended up entering the United States through the southern border. And nobody knows where they went….Well, looking at the evil of the world, here we are.The Franklin scandal books (The Franklin Scandal and The Franklin Coverup) are really convincing. It's obvious that federal agencies, state government, the media, are infiltrated by the people who are complicit in this horrific child sex trafficking and blackmail operations. Intelligence agencies are deep in it too.So, well, once again, we blow the whistle, we reveal the evil.What's the bottom line of all of this?I mean, this is going to go on. And so many destructive things are going on in the world that essentially seem to be destroying not just human civilization, we can say Western civilization, but undoubtedly there is no major civilization that isn't involved in this. I can't see that China would never do such a thing. And then there are the attacks on the human form, the march toward transhumanism.So all of this, you look at that, and what happens? You dedicate yourself to fighting it, or you give up…(According to the new UFO religion) we're supposed to

Is Gaza Genocide Just Your "Anti-Semitic Imagination"?

Rumble link Bitchute linkThis week’s False Flag Weekly News featured J. Michael Springmann and I discussing the historic story “Israel Busted For Genocide.” Needless to say, we sided with the prosecution.Then last night I appeared on Charles Moscowitz’s podcast and heard Charles’ brief for the defense. Though I like Charles Moscowitz, and have a fair bit in common with him both philosophically and politically, I find his take on Zionism infuriating. Moscowitz’s new book The Anti-Semitic Imagination goes over a long list of “conspiracy theories” and absolves organized Jewry of involvement in pretty much all of them. Even the conspiracy to invade, occupy, and ethnically-cleanse Palestine, according to Moscowitz, is really the Palestinians’ fault. It’s also the fault of “radical jihadist Islam.” (Eyeball roll.)Below are excerpts from the two conversations.Kevin Barrett and J. Michael Springmann on Zionist genocideKevin Barrett: Here’s the top war crime story this week: South Africa is leading the prosecution of Israel for genocide in The Hague.Sam Husseini (listen to our interview) has been tirelessly pushing this idea for months. Now it finally happened. Shout out to South Africa for making it happen.South Africa presented the case for the prosecution last Thursday, and then Friday was Israel’s response. The prosecution’s five-point accusation included mass killings of Palestinians, bodily and mental harm, forced displacement, a food blockade, destruction of the health care system, and preventing Palestinian births. All of these fit the definition of genocide under international law. J. Michael Springmann: I think South Africa has it right. Genocide was defined at the convention in 1948, which the Israelis signed and which they got because of the way the Europeans treated the Jews.Now they're claiming that the Palestinians are engaging in genocide against them, when in actual fact the definition is along the lines of trying to wipe out or displace or remove by threats, by statements, by actions and by killings, a people or an ethnic group or a religious group. That it pretty much fits the Palestinians. They're Muslims. They're a coherent group of people. The Zionists have been working on this since the 20s and 30s with Plan Dalet cooked up by David Ben-Gurion, one of the terrorist leaders of the Haganah. He became a prime minister and he pushed through the genocide, the Nakba, the Holocaust against the Palestinians, in 1948 and subsequently.So I think the case is strong. The court has jurisdiction. The only problem is that it doesn't have any power to enforce its decisions.Kevin Barrett: That's right. But every nation on earth can say that it is enforcing international law once the decision gets handed down. So that means that, for example, the Yemeni government led by the Houthis would have a strong case that it has the right to impose a blockade on the Zionist entity to stop the genocide.And of course, that story has been heating up this week. We have had more drone attacks on Israeli oil tankers. And then the Americans went just yesterday and started bombing Yemen. There have been two rounds of bombings. They've hit dozens of targets in Yemen. And the Yemenis are up in arms. There is drone footage of millions of people titting the streets.Messing with Yemen is not a smart move, as the Saudis learned to their chagrin about seven or eight years ago. So is this going to be another case of a relatively poor and not that heavily armed country like Afghanistan kicking Uncle Sam's butt?J. Michael Springmann: I think so. They've done a good job of flooding the Red Sea, which may become the Iron Bottom Sea if they hit enough ships with their missiles and drones. The foolish Americans and the British and the Canadians and the Australians and the Dutch have got themselves in the middle of a hornet's nest.The Yemenis are battle-tested. Tor 10 years they've been fighting the Saudis, backed by the United States, and the Saudis couldn't win, even though they bombed school buses and funeral processions and wedding receptions and so forth. So the Yemenis are tough, they have weapons, they're not stupid, they've repurposed some Scud missiles to improve them and fire them at the Saudis. And of course the lamestream media controlled by the Zio-Nazis—that's an insult to the Nazis actually—they keep claiming that the Iranians are doing all this, the Iranians somehow are backing Hamas and Hezbollah and the Ansar Allah freedom fighters and the people in Iraq and people in Syria. And you think that Iran is this great octopus, but in fact the Americans and the British are creating more problems for themselves, and sooner or later the Houthis are going to hit some very expensive warships and kill a lot of sailorsKevin Barrett: Yeah, and then all bets are off. It could be World War III for all we know. And one of the real shameful things about this is that the United States is officially at war, conducting an act of aggression agains

Ron Unz on “Israel and the Holocaust Hoax”

Ron Unz‘s new article “American Pravda: Israel and the Holocaust Hoax” opens with a review of Tom Segev’s The Seventh Million: Israel and the Holocaust. Unz notes that Segev’s research confirms Lenni Brenner’s argument that intense Nazi-Zionist cooperation throughout the 1930s set the stage for the creation of Israel. But Segev’s account of the Holocaust draws heavily on such highly dubious sources as the sadomasochistic fantasist and “Auschwitz survivor” Yehiel De-Nur, whose ludicrously pornographic accounts of life in the camps were eagerly devoured by the founding generation of Israel.Unz notes:“In reading Segev’s account of the role of the Holocaust in Israeli society and the sort of outrageous Holocaust stories that dominated the narrative in that country, I couldn’t avoid noticing a strong connection to much more recent events.“The surprisingly successful Hamas attack on October 7th was deeply embarrassing to the Israelis, and pro-Israel propagandists soon began heavily emphasizing ridiculous hoaxes such as the claims of forty beheaded babies or a baby roasted in an oven. All of these frauds were provided by extremely disreputable characters, but eagerly accepted and promoted by leading Western political elites and media outlets.”Is the canonical account of the Holocaust, like the “beheaded and roasted babies” myths of October 7, the product of mentally disturbed fantasists like Yehiel De-Nur and Yossi Landau? Is there something about Jewish culture that favors the production of sadomasochistic fantasy as a response to tribal trauma? And/or something about Jewish power that forces the whole Western world to accept such insane fantasies as historical reality?

Josh Mitteldorf on “Anomalies, Mysteries, and Consiracies”

Scientist Josh Mitteldorf, trained in physics and accomplished in biology, is not afraid to ask taboo questions about such incendiary issues as UFOs, ESP, free energy, weaponized weather, hidden history, and of course the kinds of political conspiracies discussed on this show. Among his recent posts is “Anomalies, mysteries, conspiracies…maybe they are all related.” It ends with this remarkable hypothesis:“The story of our universe is the story of Consciousness creating a domain for itself and a playground for its myriad dissociated aspects. A very particular set of scientific laws was needed to make life possible, and the kind of life we know, based on our particular chemistry of nucleotides and proteins, is unique. Maybe the Earth was seeded with life by alien civilizations billions of years ago, and humans were created as a hybrid species several million years ago. Since then, various ET tribes have clashed in their plans for earthlings. Some want to enslave us, and appear to us as gods to be worshiped, or make deals with our leaders, giving them technology in exchange for fealty. Others want to empower humanity and see where we will go on our own. The present era is one in which these forces have come to a head. The enslavers (following Enlil) have superior mechanical technology, and have traded this to a group of humans that have vast underground bases with anti-gravity and zero-point energy technologies. The liberators (following Enki) have superior mental technologies and have been leading our psyches toward emergent transcendence, even as the enslavers are making every effort to damage our nervous systems and poison our cultures so that we do not have the spiritual capacities that would support our transcendence. The fundamental tension that makes life interesting is between Yin and Yang, Right brain and Left brain, Female and Male, cooperation and competition, Satan and Jehovah, Prometheus and Atlas, Enki and Enlil.” This is a public episode.

Is Israel's Government Collapsing?

Broadcast live on Ofogh TV, Tehran, Monday, January 8, 6pm GMTOfogh TV: Hello, Mr. Kevin Barrett, I hope you are all right. How are you?Kevin Barrett: It's good to be with you. Thank you. I'm doing well.Ofogh TV: Mr. Barrett, three Ministers of the Zionist regime are threatening that they will not be present in Netanyahu's cabinet meeting. What is your comment?Kevin Barrett: There is a crisis in Netanyahu's government. There's a split between the Zionist faction associated with the Supreme Court and the Rothschild banking empire, and the fanatical settler movement around Netanyahu. And that split has worsened during the past week.The possibility of an investigation of the events of October 7th has reached a point that it can't be denied. And likewise, the Zionists are losing on the battlefield. They're unable to make significant military gains. All they can accomplish is mass murdering civilians. And now they are being prosecuted in the World Court for genocide. Israel is in a desperate situation, and this conflict in its government is reaching a crisis level. And that's one reason that Israel is lashing out with terrorist attacks and assassinations.Ofogh TV: Recently, Zionists have been talking about another phase of war. What do they mean when they are talking about third phase of war, another phase of war? What is your comment?Kevin Barrett: I think that the Zionists have been told by various world powers that they cannot continue to mass murder the people of Gaza the way they have been doing it for the past three months. And so they have to imagine a different way of of pursuing their objectives. The Netanyahu faction would like to finish killing and expelling the people of Gaza and later the West Bank. But I think that both a faction in Israel and the majority faction even in the Western countries opposes this. And of course the world opposes it as well. So they're admitting that what they've done thus far has failed. But they can't admit it directly. So they are simply saying that "we're going to do something different." And I think Netanyahu is still trying to provoke a wider war in the region to save his political career. And the other faction is trying to prevent him from doing that.Ofogh TV: My last question, Mr. Barrett. The Zionist regime is continuing its terror policy. Please tell us your anticipation about the destiny of the war and this terror by the Zionist regime.Kevin Barrett: The Zionists are failing militarily, so all they can do is mass murder civilians and conduct assassinations and terror attacks, such as the horrific slaughter at the anniversary of General Qassem Soleimani's martyrdom in Kerman. So they're they're desperate. They they can't "get their hostages back" and they can't "defeat Hamas." And those are their two stated objectives in this war. Since they have failed in achieving those objectives, they're going to have to find a way to back down. But Netanyahu can't back down. He's the one who framed those hopeless, impossible objectives. So he is trying to turn this into a bigger regional war that would allow him and his extremist friends to kill and expel more Palestinians. And that's what he's trying to achieve. But the whole world is against that. So whether the radical extremist faction around Netanyahu is capable of defying the entire world and provoking an even bigger war in order to accelerate their genocide remains to be seen.Ofogh TV: Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Kevin Barrett. Thank you very much indeed.Kevin Barrett: Thank you. This is a public episode.

Dershowitz and Israel: Cornered Rats

Rumble link Bitchute linkI finally figured out why Alan Dershowitz is such a good defense lawyer. He thinks like a cornered rat. A cornered rat, like a psychopath who has been caught, shifts into frenzied overdrive in search of an escape route. That’s what Dersh’s mind does, but in the world of legal strategems rather than the physical world. Even if the state has his client dead to rights, Dersh will put up a maniacally vicious fight, biting and clawing in search of an exit.It would be unfair to say that there is something vaguely ratlike about Dershowitz’s physiognomy. Yet if you search Google Images for “Alan Dershowitz rat” you can’t help but notice a certain resemblance.Comparing humans to vermin isn’t very nice. In this case, it’s an insult to vermin.Dershowitz has been defending Israel’s slow-motion genocide of Palestine for decades. Now that the genocide is accelerating, so is Dersh’s genocide advocacy. He is currently under consideration to lead Israel’s defense against charges of genocide brought by South Africa.Coincidentally, the day after Dersh was named as potential lead defender of genocide, his name showed up 137 times in a newly-released batch of Jeffrey Epstein papers. Compare that to Bill Clinton’s 73 mentions and Donald Trump’s four.Previously, Dershowitz’s defense against charges of abusing sex-trafficked underage girls was “I kept my underwear on.” Now he says the only people objecting to his apparent involvement in rape, statutory rape, blackmail, and treason are “radical feminists”:“Where are all those radical feminists when it comes to the Hamas rapes of young Jewish girls, sexual abuse, beheadings?”That’s a classic example of the “cornered rat defense.” When the prosecution has you nailed seven ways from Sunday, start screaming outrageous lies about the imaginary crimes of your enemy, which (you claim) are much worse than your own. That’s undoubtedly the defense the ratlike lawyer will employ to defend his ten-thousand-ton rabid rat client, the genocidal pseudo-state of Israel.Israel as Cornered RatCornered rats, of course, can be dangerous. Especially ten-thousand-ton rabid ones.That is the lesson we learned last week, as Israel was forced into a corner by several adverse developments:*The US sent home its lead aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford., sending a message to Israel: “Sorry, we’re not going to all-out war with Iran for you.”*The Israeli Supreme Court dealt wannabe-dictator Bibi a body blow, striking down his “no judicial review” law.*The Economist, flagship for the Rothschild-and-friends banking empire that also controls the Israeli Supreme Court, called for Bibi’s head on a platter, saying he had “botched” the war.*Facing the obvious fact that it can’t “defeat Hamas and free the hostages” Israel announced a major pullout from Gaza.But the cornered rat immediately lashed out:*Using its fake-Islamic militia ISIS, Israel murdered almost 100 innocent Iranians in a terrorist attack on the annual mourning ceremony for the martyred General Soleimani.*The Zionist rats bombed a building in Beirut, murdering Hamas’s hostage negotiator, Saleh al-Arouri. (The clear message: “We don’t want our stinkin’ hostages back!”)*A whole chorus of Israeli leaders called for a “voluntary migration” of Palestinians — whose homes, water and electricity and sewage systems, markets, hospitals, and pretty much everything else Israel has destroyed — to…get this…the Congo!Congo, of course, is the poster-nation for genocide. Belgian genocidaires killed more than 10 million people there under Leopold II. Conrad’s Heart of Darkness tagline, “exterminate all the brutes,” became the title of the greatest book on genocide ever written which later become an HBO series.So when the cornered Israeli rat squeals “send them to the Congo” the translation is “send them to the gas chambers.” Israel has become openly, nakedly, unashamedly genocidal. By murdering 30,000 innocent Palestinians and destroying their means of life in an effort to cause so much pain and suffering that the survivors, assuming there are any, will be compelled to leave their homeland, Israel has unmasked itself as a rabid rat that the whole world can see needs to be exterminated.Unfortunately this cornered rabid rat has nuclear weapons. The world needs to find a way to disarm it quickly and cleanly, before its final frenzy leads to millions of deaths. This is a public episode.

Jeff Brown on Gaza Genocide and Western War on the World

On February 9, 2020, Jeff Brown of the Seek Truth from Facts Foundation and ChinaRising broke the story—on my radio show—that “Coronavirus Is Biowar on China.” Jeff’s early assessment was basically correct, as was later shown by Run Unz’s book Our COVID-19 Catastrophe (video intro HERE).Is Michael Hoffman right about the Talmud inspiring the Zionist genocide of Palestine? Jeff Brown seems to agree. Check out his post: “The Jewish holy book, the Talmud clearly states that all non-Jews are lower than dogs and should be killed: Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, you, me and the rest of humanity’s eight billion.”So what’s the connection between the US war on China, Russia, and Iran, and the Zionist genocide attempt against Palestine? Is the New World Order world takeover conspiracy—or the four conspiracies—disproportionately Jewish, as Peter Myers argues? Let’s find out what Jeff Brown thinks.Except:I recently saw you cited by Ramin Mazahiri, the longtime press TV Paris correspondent. He wrote about the I Ching, and Mao Zedong's swimming the Yangtze river, as mirroring a key hexagram in the I Ching, this ancient Chinese book of wisdom that's sometimes used as a divining tool.The quote is something to the effect, “cross great rivers to achieve great things.” And this was to inspire the people.Of course, the Chinese got it.They got the symbolism: he was telling them that everybody should gather together and rally together and create great things, great change.The Cultural Revolution — and we don't have time to go into it here — was incredibly successful. The propaganda against it is so counterfactual and so awful in the West but there are plenty of plenty of places on my website for people to access not just Ramin but Godfrey Roberts and myself and others. The writers group just published a free PDF e-book called The Little Red Book on Mao Zedong…(Ramin got a response) confirming that it is exactly true, that what Mao was doing was also digging deep into the I Ching.And so Ramin was really on to something. Ramin asked for confirmation, and he got one of the best sources in the business, and that's Dr. Kwon Lee. So it is true.See:Ramn Mazaheri, Mao’s famous Cultural Revolution swim across the Yangzi River finally explainedDr. Kwan Lee: “Ramin Mazaheri rightly explained Chinese culture” This is a public episode.

Alan Sabrosky’s First First Friday

Arguably the two biggest stories of the 21st century—Israel’s 9/11/2001 false flag attack on America, and the neocon COVID bioattack on China and Iran—were first/most credibly aired right here on Truth Jihad Radio. Two of the key people responsible for breaking those stories return to Truth Jihad Radio tonight to kick off 2024! Here is the archive of the first hour with Dr. Alan Sabrosky. The second hour with Jeff Brown will follow.First hour: Good news for 2024: Retired Marine Corps officer Dr. Alan Sabrosky, former Head of Strategic Studies at the US Army War College, is back in good health and planning regular appearances every first Friday of the month here on Truth Jihad Radio!“Doc” Sabrosky made alt-media headlines in 2010 when he appeared on my radio show and said: “They did it. I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the US Army War College, at the Marine Corps headquarters, and I’ve made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100% certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation.” Since then Dr. Sabrosky has become a notable but much-censored critic of the Zionist genocide of Palestine and occupation of America. (He says he expresses his Jewish identity through cuisine, not foreign policy.)So what’s his take on the biggest stories of the week and of 2023? Tune in and find out!Extract:I started a couple of years ago, actually about a year and a half ago, to do what I thought was going to be a series of three articles on America's Endgame. And the first one went out. And then I got distracted into secondary articles. And also I realized that the other articles were going to be about 20,000 words apiece and absolutely no one would read them.They were going to be big enough anyway.And there was a delay because of my vision, and some shoulder injuries that came home to roost So I couldn't even use a mouse or keyboard for about three months. But now I've got three articles that are coming out, starting in about two weeks, at one week intervals.The first one is called “The Culling Fields.” And it's a take on the killing fields in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. It's an attempt to look at why so many, not necessarily warlike, but strong countries, as different as Germany and Ireland and the United States, have effectively caved with barely a whimper to the woke dementia enfolding them.Because they didn't all have the same experience. Ireland wasn't in either World War. It had strong and different movements in the Roman Catholic Church and the IRA, and it now has a homosexual Hindu as its Prime Minister.That's serious intersectionality, isn't it?It's very much that.Ireland has one of the largest migration rates in Europe. And when there's the same amount of migrant violence that there is in so many countries, a lot of it from Sub-Saharan Africa, not North Africa or the Middle East, and both the Catholic Church and the IRA say nothing.Germany, you can understand. It lost 10% of its population in World War II, half civilians, had between 6 and 8 million women raped by Soviet, American, or French colonial troops at the end of the war, was partitioned, occupied, lost most of its territory. The process of denazification was actually a process of de-Germanification, and they were effectively stripped of anything that resembled the type of German heritage that they had.And you could sort of understand them. But not Ireland.But then there's the United States, which was on the winning side of both world wars, and had, I'm going to say minuscule casualties……So I've been looking at that and I think I found an explanation. I'm going to explore that completely in the first article.The second one looks at Germany and it's basically calling for a repartition of Germany. That the eastern part of Germany, the eastern states, the ones that were communist states, like the former communist regimes, most of them in Eastern Europe and Russia, are absolutely not going along with the woke agenda.Whereas the West, Western Germany is in overdrive on this. And if there's going to be anything saved of Germany, maybe the two pieces of it need to be separate.There was a, there was a nasty incident, uh, I think within the past week where at the trial, A female judge presided over the trial of eight migrants, and I don't know where they were from, who gang-raped a 15-year-old German girl, and she turned them loose without any punishment.And there was a really interesting meme which showed the two Germans, and there was a wall called East Germany, and they were rebuilding the wall with bricks, putting a wall between them. I'm actually going to explore that: what would it take, and is it a good idea?The third one is the final one on America's Endgame. It basically looks at where we could have gone in 2020 and where I believe it is now too late for us to go in 2024, which is going to be a replay of 2020 from the left side.And it's basically called Ruthless or Ruined. You know, what did America's endgame mean? We

Mahmood OD on “One-State Solution by 2048”

Mahmood OD, a native Palestinian born in Haifa, is the author of 2048: A Manifesto for the One State Solution in Israel Palestine. In it, he considers the underlying causes of the violence and instability in the region, and proposes a simple and sensible solution, starting with: “The whole conflict can be solved with one thing: Equality. But to reach the stage of equality, one must establish basic understanding about the other side…”How can we get from the current catastrophe—an accelerating genocide by Jewish Supremacists—to the world Mahmood envisions, in which both sides understand and acknowledge the humanity and equality of the other?Excerpt:So how did you come to write 2048: A Manifesto for the One State Solution in Israel Palestine?Well, basically it took the 2021 escalation. Because for your listeners, if they're unfamiliar with me, I'm a Palestinian who was born in Haifa, which is in Israel. In 2021, I was like, okay, here we go again, another war, another escalation, then we go back to square one, no real solutions proposed. I was like, let me just write a book because from my perspective, it's very straightforward. It's a human cause. It's a matter of equality, human rights that should be by the 21st century now.The Arab states back then and the Palestinians, even the Jewish people who used to live in historical Palestine before Zionism, in collaboration with the Nazis by the way in many cases, started bringing Jews to Europe. Many people are also not familiar with the fact that Zionism was the solution, the final solution for the Jewish problem as Hitler prescribed it at the time.So, the Arab nations back then, and the Palestinians, they didn't want an ethno-state. They wanted a whole state for everyone, because Jews, Arabs, and Muslims, Christians lived peacefully for hundreds of years. Whether it's in Palestine, whether it's in Morocco, whether it's in the Hejaz, everywhere. They had problems in Europe. They didn't have problems with us. And obviously, we were welcoming anyone who wants to come back then.Let me give you an example my native city of Haifa. In 1947 we had approximately 75,000 Palestinian Christians and Muslims who were then expelled by these new Zionist immigrants to take the population back to 5,000. Now my great great parents obviously were some of the few that remained there because they had to keep people to basically be slaves and build up the country, albeit they lived under martial law for a very long time.So the notion of a one state that is for everyone isn't new. I didn't bring something new here and many people wrote about the subject too. But my intention after the 2021 escalation was to highlight how very basic and straightforward it is.So from my perspective, I decided to put in points that are very straightforward to find a solution, including many key areas that should be highlighted. Things to do with anti-semitism, things to do with Zionism, and obviously points to reach a solution which mainly revolve around the refugees and the dismantling of the apartheid state.Because at the end of the day, we're all human beings, and we all want the same things. We want rights, we want equality, we want basic human life. Yet Zionism was established on racial supremacy. It was established as a better race controlling a lower grade race.You know, many people say it's utopic, it's unrealistic, but from my perspective, I don't care how utopic it seems, it shouldn't be sounding utopic because you're talking about equal human rights. And many things that human beings perceived to be utopic previously, like the end of slavery. America had civil wars because of the abolishment of slavery. Eight-hour working days were considered to be utopic. Women voting was considered to be utopic.So, from my perspective, it's an implementable solution that is very much realistic, but we need to have our foot down constantly. This shouldn't be a case of there was an escalation, it ended, now we move on.What happened on the 7th of October woke the whole world up. And not just the act itself, it's primarily Israel's reaction. Because if Israel stopped on the 7th of October and took a step back and recalculated what it's been doing for the past 75 years and proposed a solution, because they mainly called for a prisoner swap, we wouldn't have been here.But Israel did Palestine a favor. And I know it might sound insane because they're committing a genocide, but in many ways they woke the whole world up to the Palestinian cause.So from our perspective, from any decent human being's perspective, this should be a case where you're at it the whole time. There's a saying in Arabic, ما ضاع حق وراءه مطالب. You never lose a right as long as there's someone behind it asking for it. And I believe this should be the core issue that decent people like yourself constantly do and anyone who's concerned with basic human rights continue to do, because Israel is doing everyone a favor by making it untenable for it to

“Next Year in Palestine” (2023-2024 roundup with E. Michael Jones)

Rumble link Bitchute linkHappy New Year! E Michael Jones and I just posted a special two-hour New Year’s edition of False Flag Weekly News. It begins with the 12 biggest stories of the week, and moves on to the 38 biggest stories of 2023, along with predictions for 2024. We even offered our own “illegal” nomination for Person of the Year. Hint: It sure isn’t Taylor Swift! Below are a couple of transcript extracts to whet your appetite.Block the Boat in Oakland has been shutting down shipping to Israel. I guess they're working with the Houthis over there in Oakland. Hey Mike, are we allowed to recommend that people donate to Block the Boat, or will we be listed as terrorists if we do that?You're already a terrorist, so forget about it. It's too late to worry about it. I saw the ADL attack on you on your Substack. So the only consolation we have is that there are more and more people in the same situation and at a certain point the whole narrative is going to break down because this whole attack on “conspiracy theorists and anti-Semites” is not going to hold water anymore.Here's another illegal public service announcement from False Flag Weekly News: Boycott Israel! Even though all the states now have laws telling you that you can't, or you will be thrown into a maximum security dungeon or something. Over in the UK, you get locked up in the Tower of London, which I understand has better accommodations.But in any case, here are the things you can boycott if you want to become an arch criminal by boycotting Israel. Just go to this website, theislamicinformation.com .Okay, so that's our public service announcements.Let's get into the breaking news, which this week and this year happens to be good news. Electronic Intifada broke the news this morning that South Africa has invoked the genocide convention. They're taking the Zionist genocidal entity to the world court. People like Sam Husseini have been arguing for this, quite vociferously, for a month and a half or two months already, and it's great to see that it finally happened.So, Mike, is there any chance that this will put significant pressure on Israel and get them to stop the genocide? Francis Boyle thinks that it will. What do you think?I defer to Francis Boyle. He's an expert on this type of thing. And if he's optimistic, then I have to be optimistic. But I'm not a lawyer. But if he thinks it's possible, then I'm encouraged.Yeah, the deal is the world court apparently, unlike your national criminal court or ICC, is not 100% rigged by the western powers led by the United States. So some meaningful pressure at least can be generated. Boyle says that this is a body blow from which the Zionist entity will never recover. So let's hope that he's right.Israel can certainly keep killing civilians until somebody tells them to stop and we'll see who that is. Maybe it's the Houthis—that is, the Yemeni government. Because the so-called Houthis are in fact the legitimate government of Yemen.John Helmer wrote this great piece about how the Houthis are correctly identifying ships that are operating on behalf of or owned by Israel or going to Israel. Those are the only ones that they're stopping. They're letting Russia and China and everybody else go through and that has changed everything according to Pepe Escobar in his brand new piece which also makes a lot of good points. Is Pepe's optimism warranted, Michael?First of all, I'd like to say this is the proper conduct of warfare, because it's targeting the people who are actually responsible, rather than some type of indiscriminate attack. But their reach now, according to this article, goes all the way to the coast of India, which is a totally new situation. So it's not just the choke points like the Bab al-Mandeb and the Straits of Hormuz. They have the ability to project power way beyond that.And secondly, it's hard to tell how the United States could react to this type of asymmetrical warfare. Because what are you going to do? The Saudis already failed to conquer Yemen, which is the base for the Houthis. So what's the United States going to do?And apparently they just had to call off their operation to protect shipping in the Red Sea, Operation Prosperity Guardian. This is crucial because the American Empire is based on the British Empire and the British Empire was based on the British Navy and their ability to control the sea lanes. They're losing here. They were already losing because of the railroad from Shanghai into Rotterdam. That's another blow. It’s the consolidation of the Eurasian landmass. If they lose control of the sea lanes, that's it. That's the basis of world power for the American empire.And part of this is a technological change that shipping, ships, navies are now vulnerable. The Russian Navy has not done well. They own the Black Sea, but they can't really operate there because navies just are too vulnerable today. So that means that this Mackinder thesis, the sea power of the Western empires, wh

Piers Robinson on Engineered Catastrophes, Propaganda, Academic Unfreedom, and More

Piers Robinson of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies has noticed that propagandists don’t like it when scholars study and analyze their propaganda. His latest ruminations on “The Perils of Studying Propaganda” begins with the observation:“Acknowledging that powerful actors pour huge resources into managing the ‘information environment’, in order to manipulate perceptions, attitudes and behaviours, tends to play havoc with assumptions underpinning much of liberal political science.” The propaganda-saturated COVID era, he argues, made it even more obvious that such is indeed the case. But even absent COVID, people who annoy the biggest propagandists, from Julian Assange (thorn in the side of the US empire) to Prof. David Miller (who had the temerity to notice the Zionist role in promoting Islamophobia) have been known to experience severe pushback. So…does academic freedom protect the rights of scholars to study and critique Establishment propaganda? Piers Robinson is the right man to try to answer that question.Excerpt from the interview:Kevin Barrett: Okay, well, you know, regarding the biosecurity regime that is coming into place, there's sort of, you know, two different ways of looking at that and of looking at the COVID crisis. And I guess it depends sort of, you know, whether you analyze it as a globalist conspiracy in which people who are pushing for a one world order are using this medical pretext to establish international institutions that will override the sovereignty of nation states as a step towards world government that many fear will be totalitarian. That seems to be the majority view among the COVID dissidents.The other view, and I actually lean towards it more regarding COVID, is that the whole COVID crisis was the product not so much of globalists who are trying to give power to the WHO to erode national sovereignties, but rather, I believe it was a neoconservative American military biological attack on China and Iran. It was designed to slow China's economic growth or reduce the growth differential between the U.S. and the West versus China. And, of course, also to hit Iran.And it did mysteriously jump from Wuhan, where it hit at exactly the worst possible place and time for China. It was just spreading big time in advance of the Chinese New Year, when virtually the entire nation of China is crossing through Wuhan, the national transportation hub. And if it hadn't been for their very quick reaction, it probably would have hit initially much harder in China.And then, where did it jump to? Of all places, Qom, Iran, where there are no Chinese people. And it knocked out a whole bunch of high-level Iranian mullahs. So, given that and lots of other things, including proven foreknowledge by the Defense Intelligence Agency……So I think it's the neocons and the militarists who are the problem. I know that's a minority take among the COVID skeptics. What do you think?Piers Robinson: No, I'm completely with you on keeping an open mind as to exactly where the power axes lie with COVID-19. And I'm actually, interestingly enough, writing a piece at the moment with Vanessa Beely on this issue.Essentially the Western military industrial complex and its penetration into global organizations, is part of a projection of power As you know I'm pretty open-minded—I think where I sit on this is I try to take a kind of strictly sociological empirical view that until we've got the power network analyses done we need to be relatively open-minded and not sign up to one particular theory or thesis about exactly what's going on.But I am inclined at the moment with everything I'm looking at with COVID-19 to think that this seems to be quite strongly rooted in the West. And I think when you locate that in terms of what we know about the Western Empire, distributions of power, both economic and military, changing across the international system, it starts to make, I think, a little bit more sense to think of COVID in those terms.I'm not ruling out any of the possibilities at the moment.

Why Are Israelis Obsessed with Killing Palestinian Children?

Kevin Barrett is editor at Veterans Today who joins us. Welcome to the program, Kevin Barrett. I'm not too sure whether I should talk about the reference that the Osama Hamdan, the senior Hamas leader there, made to the Israeli regime force who wanted to kill children or to the other aspect of this war. But let's start with that one in particular, which is pretty gruesome and pretty shocking. Why do you think the Israeli soldiers are acting in that way unless they're being maybe instructed to kill babies? But then again, isn't that part of their psyche in terms of the training that they received in the past in their military?Yes, the Israeli military is notorious for deliberately targeting and murdering children. Chris Hedges wrote about that in his famous article “A Gaza Diary” from 15 years ago, maybe 20, I think, actually. And he described how he had been in war zones and witnessed atrocities before, but until he went to Gaza, he had never seen soldiers barking out obscene insults over their bullhorns in order to lure Palestinian children within range of their gun sights so that they could be shot for sport. And he witnessed that happen to several Palestinian children. It's a common occurrence. The sport shooting of children is a regular part of what the Israeli Defense Forces do. And they never face any kind of justice. Because it’s open season on Palestinian childfen. The Israeli Defense Forces hand out t-shirts that say, “one shot, two kills,” and they show a pregnant Palestinian woman with a target on her belly.They are proud of killing children. Ayelet Shaked, the former Justice Minister, is notorious for calling for the mass murder of Palestinian children. She called them “little snakes.” And she said Israel should also kill their mothers. So there is something deep in the Israeli psyche that is twisted, mentally ill. They hate Palestinian children and want to kill them. In this current war in Gaza there are mainstream Western reports attesting to the fact that Israel soldiers have been lured into ambushes by the resistance fighters broadcasting recorded sounds of children. The Israelis are always going to want to kill the children. That lures them into the ambush. And the Israeli military even admitted to this. So these are psychotic, genocidal child killers. And they are terrorists.The Palestinian side is rationally calculating a military operation and trying to diplomatically negotiate a solution. The Israeli side is just psychotic and genocidal and they want to exterminate Amalek, as Netanyahu said, referring to the Hebrew Bible ordering the complete extermination of every man, woman, child and baby and even animal.So there's something deeply wrong with the Israeli psyche.So when you take a look at the future here, what are we looking at? At this point we are hearing about the losses that the Israeli regime forces are suffering on the ground, but it's not to the point where I don't think they're going to throw the white flag in. So are we looking at a war of attrition here? Are we looking at a long ways to go when it comes to this genocidal war?It's really just a matter of how long the world puts up with genocide. And the longer it waits, the worse it will look in the eyes of history.I have no idea at what point the proverbial straw will break the camel's back and the relevant forces in the world will shift enough to the point that the Zionists feel that they have no choice but to stop the genocide.It could be a combination of things: Pressure from the Ansarullah forces of Yemen, who have been heroically targeting Israeli shipping and imposing their own blockade on the Israelis, who are of course themselves imposing a genocidal blockade on food, water, and medicine and fuel in Gaza. So that’s the biggest factor that’s got the Americans concerned about the possibility of a wider war. Naturally Netanyahu wants a wider war, because his whole political career, and maybe his staying out of jail, depends on his keeping the war going, and seeing how much mass murder of civilians he can get away with.The resistance forces have been good at managing things to avoid the escalation that could lead to something utterly disastrous for the region. At this point Yemen is the only country meaningfully pressuring the US to put an end to this genocide.LIVE RADIO!

Are Four (4) World Takeover Conspiracies Hiding in Plain Sight?

Rumble link Bitchute linkThis week’s False Flag Weekly News co-host Peter Myers argues in his new book The Cosmopolitan Empire that there isn’t just one New World Order conspiracy. In reality, he says, there are four: The Rothschild Globalists (or Illuminati), the Zionists, the British, and the Green Left. The first two, he notes, are heavily Jewish, while the latter two, at least at first glance, seem less so.Why are so many elite individuals and groups, of diverse orientations, pushing to roll back the sovereignty of nation-states and establish a one-world government? There are two categories of reasons: the selfish and the ostensibly altruistic. The obvious selfish reason why anyone would push for one-world government is that they imagine themselves, or their group, as prospective rulers of the world.The supposedly unselfish reasons begin with the observation that history seems to be heading in that direction. Global trade and communications have knit the world more tightly together than ever before. All that remains is to establish some kind of central authority.And if we don’t, we’re doomed. Or so say the one-worlders. The first and most obvious reason is war. Military technology has reached the point that the competition for power and resources between sovereign nation-states can only end in one of two ways: peacefully (or relatively so) with the emergence of a one-world superstate; or tragically, with a huge war triggering a regression to barbarism and rapid die-off of most of the world’s population. H.G. Wells, the most prominent propagandist for the one-world superstate, saw war as the biggest threat. But today, many worry as much or more about ecological catastrophe and (bizarrely) naturally-occurring pandemics. And then there are asteroid hits, solar mega-storms, alien invasions, and other supposedly non-human-instigated threats that Earth’s human population supposedly needs to band together to defeat. Philosophically, there are two main problems with the push for one-world government. The one that jumps out at almost everyone is that it might be a bad government. Clearly a world with many different sovereign nations whose governments are all run by wise and saintly rulers would be better than a one-world state ruled by Satan himself. Likewise, a one-world state run by the virtuous would be better that a many-nation world whose nations are under the sway of the vicious.So what we want is justice, a.k.a. good governance; how we get there is secondary. It’s the same issue that animates debates between the advocates of democracy, autocracy, religious republicanism, and what-have-you. Only an idiot would prefer a vicious democracy to a virtuous autocracy. (Unfortunately, we have all been brainwashed towards idiocy in this regard, and tend to regard democracy as the end rather than the means.)That observation leads us to a less obvious problem with one-world movements: The ends-versus-means dilemma. Assuming we agree that a one-world government is a good goal to strive for, we will quickly discover that those with a stake in the current system of relatively sovereign nations—the powers that be in today’s world—will oppose us. If defeating them using only virtuous means seems hopeless, as is likely, we may be tempted to use vicious means. And a one-world government that came to power through vicious means would almost certainly be a vicious one.That ends-versus-means problem contributed to the failure of Communism. Those who sparked Communist takeovers seemed to think that their wonderful new system, with its promise of paradise on Earth, was so important that it was worth killing and torturing people for. The states that emerged, led by such people, were not paradises.It is only natural to fear that globalists would use, and indeed are using, vicious means in their attempts to establish a one-world state. Would they lie to us, perhaps exaggerating various threats in order to stampede us into the corral of their New World Order? Would they be willing to kill large numbers of people to achieve their designs? The questions answer themselves.Jewish ConspiraciesLet’s take a closer look at the four one-world conspiracy groups identified by Peter Myers.Those who have been trained to sniff out anti-Semitism in all its pernicious forms—meaning all of us—will quickly notice that two of the four conspiracies, namely Globalism and Zionism, are quintessentially Jewish. Globalism is dominated by a cabal of mostly-Jewish bankers, while Zionism seeks ever-expanding power, and ever-expanding borders, for a self-styled Jewish State. It seems that the quintessentially Jewish half of the New World Order conspiracy has two wings: A right wing (Zionism, embodied by Netanyahu) and a left wing (Globalism, embodied by Soros and his Rothschild associates). Likewise, the less-Jewish half of the conspiracy—the British and the Green Left—also fall on a left-right axis, with the Brits on the right and the Greens on the left. The r

Israel Paying a Heavy Price for Its Crimes

Press TVSo Netanyahu is now saying that (Israel is paying) is a heavy price. How heavy is the price?Netanyahu is not admitting how heavy the price really is. The actual number of Israeli casualties is much higher than the official count. We know that because we've actually seen that the resistance fighters have filmed themselves taking out tanks and trucks and other military vehicles by the hundreds. They've filmed many of their other operations as well. So we can see that just based on what's out there in the resistance film footage, the casualty count has to be a lot higher than Netanyahu is admitting.He also is ignoring the fact, at least publicly, that Israel has lost something like 7% of its population. They haven't been killed, they've fled the country. This has happened occasionally before, but this time it's not certain that they'll be coming back, because the Israeli economy is in shambles. The northern edge of the country is now uninhabited, as they've all been evacuated due to the northern front of Hezbollah. And the Israeli economy may not come back. It's heavily dependent on tourism, and that's completely shut down now. The usual tourist hotels are full of Israelis who fled the war zones in the north. And so that of course is bad enough. But (the main reason) the future of the Zionist entity looks incredibly bleak is because of the way that they've managed to commit the most horrendous genocide ever seen on live television, and they've sickened and appalled pretty much the entire world. Their only supporters now are in Washington DC. And even in the United States of America polls show that the majority of young adults want the resistance to win and put an end to Israel. So they have lost the military battle. They can’t get their hostages back. They can’t succeed in their ground operations. They can’t stop Hamas as they say they are going to. They’ve lost their economic battle. They’ve lost in their propaganda war, where they’re making up ludicrous stories about beheaded babies that nobody believes. Nobody believes anything they say any more. They’ve blown all their credibility, blown up their economy, and shown that they’re a military paper tiger. The end of the Zionist entity is near. And Netanyahu knows that his own political end is even nearer. This is a public episode.

Nick Kollerstrom on “Just Wars” in Ukraine and Palestine

Nick Kollerstrom has appeared on this show many times to discuss his books on 9/11, 7/7, Charlie Hebdo, World War II revisionism, and most recently the “just war” in Ukraine. Let’s ask Nick: If Russia is fighting a just war against an aggressor who keeps pushing NATO’s borders and first-strike-oriented nuclear weapons systems ever closer to Moscow, what does that make the Palestinians’ war against the Zionist lunatics, those psychopathic killers intoxicated to the point of genocidal fury by the notion that the God they don’t believe in gave them Palestine 3000 years ago? Excerpts from the interview:(According to a certain strain of Jewish messianic millenarian thought) Jews are at war with all of the other tribes or nations, that is the Goyim, and that the Messiah will come and create paradise on earth by leading the Jews in conquest and absolute destruction of all of the other nations. This has led to a mentality amongst a certain element of the most powerful people of the Jewish communities that they (the one-world globalist movements) glom on to, whether it's (Trotskyist) communism or Zionism or Illuminism…(aiming) to basically destroy all the non-Jewish nations so that Israel will reign supreme and the Messiah will rule the world from Jerusalem. Anyway, that's my rant for the evening. What do you think?I think it's important to see how, as Shlomo Sand has demonstrated in his book, The Invention of the Jewish People, the Palestinians are the actual nearest thing we have to the actual descendants of the Judean citizens—in other words, the ancient Jews…The concept that David once gained a great empire is complete fiction. All the research, very intensive, ever since the Jews got back to the Holy Land, excavating and looking desperately for any evidence of King Solomon — nothing whatsoever, not a peep. All the records in archives of kings and rulers around the Middle East or East Mediterranean and find no reference at all to Solomon. There's no trace of any evidence of Solomon's temple, of Solomon's gold, Solomon's arches, Solomon's horses. It's just a story. And it's a story based on what they might have experienced, memories of the glorious golden age of ancient Egypt. There really were temples in Egypt plated with gold, glittering in the sun, splendid temples, and they imagined Solomon's temple in that way. But there never was a Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, absolutely not. Jews can't build a third temple because the first one never existed.So where does this myth come from then and this effort to rebuild the Temple which is the basis of the Jewish eschatology that's driving the most radical element among these genocidal settler-colonialists occupying Palestine?In the second century BC or a bit earlier, national myths were being forged to hold the people together, to give them a sense of togetherness, and the script writers made a glorious past of this empire. People's memories were scrambled by various past events and nobody had a memory of what actually happened then so this glorious past was imagined. And I think in the same way, for example, Britons imagine that King Arthur was King of England, and it's very hard to admit that historical records don't actually confirm that.The glorious Islamic mosque is on the Temple Mount which was a Roman fortress, the Tenth Legion, built by Hadrian and it's got nothing whatever to do with the Jews. There was never any Jewish temple on that Temple Mount which was built maybe first century BC for 10,000 Romans, the Tenth Legion, to keep law and order in Jerusalem, and I think historians need to stop fantasising about some Jewish Temple there.Jewish Temples were never built on the highest part of a mountain, that just didn't happen, whereas Roman forts were always built on the highest part of any land. There is a site within the old walled city of Jerusalem where there would have been the original Temple, but because of what happened in 70 AD, Jews totally forgot where it was.Now, what happened then? Well, that was the terrible massacre, the terrible war whereby Romans wiped out a million Jews and reduced Jerusalem to rubble. And you could hardly know that there was once a great city there. And so it was the most terrible thing. Jews must have really annoyed the Romans to make that happen. And after that, there was no trace of where the Temple was.And by the way, that's what Jesus prophesied in the Bible, talking to his disciples, admiring this glorious Temple, which Hadrian had just done up and made it look really fine with white marble and everything And he said, “look, soon there'll be not one stone left on another. You won't be able to recognize the place.”And that actually happened. This is a public episode.

Yemen Stands Tall Against #GazaGenocide

Dr. Barrett, your thoughts on resistance factions' efforts to try to change the equation of the Israeli atrocities we're witnessing in the besieged Gaza Strip, with the Yemenis now not just sending drones and missiles towards Israel, but what they're doing on the high seas to draw attention to Gaza's plight.Well, it's something that people all over the world are cheering for and have been demanding since this genocidal mass murder campaign by the Israelis started two months ago.cEverybody is asking, why can't any governments stand up and do something about this? And here we have a country that's actually doing something, Yemen, taking the lead.And this naturally 4aises the stakes and puts pressure on the international community in general and of course the self-declared global imperial hegemon, the United States in particular, that things easily can get out of hand if something isn't done.I think the U.S.cknows full well that its national interests, its imperial interests, are not served by this genocidal massacre of Palestinians.cIn fact, I think a lot of the American Jews who support the genocidal Zionist entity in general recognize that what's going on right now is discrediting it and in fact robbing it of any future in the region. And so the Zionists around the Biden administration probably would like to find a way to back off the track that they're on right now.So we obviously need a lot more of this kind of action and I think that it will put pressure on the relevant parties to back off from this militarily useless ongoing massacre of innocent Palestinian civilians, especially women and children.On that escalation of regional tensions, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdullahi said that we're just steps away from this thing completely blowing up into something completely out of hand in the region. What would that look like, an escalation of this thing? Because we've seen Hezbollah involved along the Lebanese border, we've seen attacks on U.S. bases in Syria and Iraq, we're seeing the activity by the resistance out of Yemen on the high seas…Now the US wants to put together a coalition against Yemen’s attacking Israeli-bound ships. If we see that coalition put together, if we see them face-to-face with resistance factions in the region, we could very well see the kind of escalation that you alluded to. What would that look like? And is the US willing to take it there?I don’t think the US wants that, and most of the regional parties don’t want it either. Netanyahu and the crazies around them may dream of some kind of apocalypse from which Israel will crawl out of the radioactive rubble and somehow rule the world with a Messiah that the rest of the world would call the Antichrist, but I don’t think the more practical strategists involved in running the world from their perches atop the various countries really want to roll the dice with something like that. The suffering would be enormous. And the suffering that we’re witnessing now has already damaged the US and its soft power. The more death and destruction that ultimately gets laid at the door of the genocidal Zionist entity and its sponsor in Washington, D.C., the worse things are for the future of that entity and its sponsor, that is, the U.S. empire, which is really scrambling now to try to maintain its number one position in the world as decades of mismanagement of that position have led it to the precipice.It's losing in Ukraine. It's in a standoff with China that cannot end well for the U.S. And now it's losing the entire East Asia region, the entire Muslim world. Two billion people are going to absolutely hate the United States because of what's been going on in Gaza. And so if it escalates, I think it would probably be a gradual escalation. I don't think we'd go straight to all-out nuclear war in 24 hours. But we would see a lot more images showing that the world is being grossly mismanaged by the people in charge now, namely the United States, which just vetoed a UN resolution, supported essentially by the entire world, for a ceasefire. So the US is the one powerful country standing against a peaceful resolution of this thing. And it spins out of hand, the U.S. is going to look even worse, and ultimately that will be the end of the American empire.And that's the thing, Dr. Barrett, because it seems like the White House, along with Joe Biden's cabinet, are getting increasingly more frustrated with Netanyahu, with Israel, what it's doing in Gaza, not allowing in humanitarian aid, even if they don't want to respect a ceasefire, which you just mentioned the U.S. helped them avoid that Security Council resolution. So my question to you, at the utlimate zenith of tensions between the two, at the height of frustration, what would America's ultimate frustration with the Israeli regime look like?Well, in the past, there have been times when America presidents stood up to the Zionists to some extent. You have to go back pretty far to see any of the

Christian Historian Michael Hoffman on Israeli Mass Murder and Racism; Federal Agent Whistleblower Karl Golovin on JFK Assassination Censorship

Historian Michael Hoffman discusses his article “The missing link to comprehending Israeli mass murder and racism.” He points out that “both the left and the “conservative” right fail to point out that the racist disparity (“a prism in which [Israeli] lives are invaluable …while [Palestinian] deaths…are regrettable”] is due to the influence of the Talmudic theology in Zionism. This is the missing link to comprehending Israeli mass murder and racism.” So what specific aspects and passages of the Talmud are responsible, according to the former AP reporter and author of nine books? Tune in and find out.Then whistleblowing former Federal Special Agent Karl Golovin comes on to discuss the way leading JFK assassination researchers censor those who point the finger at Israel. Referencing leading JFK expert Jefferson Morley, Karl writes:“While being highly aware of the Angleton-Mossad-Nukes evidence from researching his biography “Ghost” of Angleton, how long has Morley truly sat on all the CIA-LBJ-Mossad/Israel-JFK-RFK-9/11 connections, notably as reported in your (Laurent’s) book “Unspoken. .” – a copy of which I introduced and placed in Morley’s hands at the Nat. Press Club event on 12/6/22. My comments/ questions of the panel ref Northwoods document, Israel starting just after 1:27:00.”’Karl Golovin retired in 2007 as a Special Agent of the U.S. Customs Service (by then known as DHS/ICE). In November 2001, while working in the U.S. Customs Service’s Office of Internal Affairs, Golovin was among USCS/IA agents assigned duties at Ground Zero and Fresh Kils Landfill, including sifting the rubble of WTC-7.Golovin served as Security Director of the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign.

Can Virtual Reality End the Loneliness Epidemic?

Chris Brickler is the CIO of MyndVR, the Leading Provider of VR-Based Digital Therapeutic Experiences for the Aging Population. They have a grant from BVL, or Bowlers to Veterans Link, a 501c3, which is enabling them to donate virtual reality glasses to eight veterans homes in California.In this interview Chris Bricker discusses his projects to use virtual reality to convince old folks’ homes’ residents that “happy days are here again,” and to treat veterans’ PTSD.I push back, saying things like:“An awful lot of people these days are basically just zombies walking around staring into these tiny little screens, their cell phones. And I guess I'll lay my cards on the table here. I'm one of those critics of technology. I'm one of those people that my friends all thought maybe I was actually the Unabomber back in the day.“To me, the zombies walking around staring at their cell phones don't look very healthy. And the amount of screen time that kids have doesn't look healthy. And there's a lot of research corroborating these things.“In the kinds of old folk homes that we have in the United States right now they usually get substandard care from very low wage people who don't care about them, not like their family members do. And of course that this is viewed as utterly barbaric by many of the people here in Morocco where I now live: ‘Parking people in old folks homes, are you kidding?! The family has the caregivers, the caregivers are always family, you always die surrounded by your family in your family home here in Morocco…’”So is my skepticism justified? Or will Chris and others figure out how to use VR technology in life-enhancing ways? Listen and make up your own mind. This is a public episode.
