=== Ultra-Zionist Networks and Policy (14:33) ===

[00:00:07]  Hello and welcome to the legacy show where I look through the contents of my books over the last 36 years and as best I can relate them to current events.
[00:00:20]  Now, that ain't a problem at the moment with what's going on in Iran as I record this.
[00:00:28]  And what I'm going to do is feature, as you can see, this book, The Trigger, which was my second book about 9-11, but covered so much more.
[00:00:45]  Benjamin Netanyahu, the psychopath Israel prime minister, he first started publicly anyway, as far as we can see, demanding the invasion of Iran with the United States back in 1996.
[00:01:10]  But now he's saying that the invasion of Iran has been his dream for 40 years.
[00:01:20]  And you can follow the sequence to what is happening now.
[00:01:27]  What I do in the book is look at the whole network of organizations, ultra-Zionist in nature in terms of control, and how they were working to the same end of massive wars in the Middle East.
[00:01:55]  And I pick it up here with Dick Cheney.
[00:02:01]  Now, I know a lot about Dick Cheney.
[00:02:04]  Dick Cheney was a brutal, brutal man who abused mind-controlled slaves like Kathy O'Brien.
[00:02:18]  And he was absolutely controlled by the Zionists.
[00:02:23]  And he was the major political player.
[00:02:28]  Well, I mean, have you seen Boyd George Bush?
[00:02:32]  Obviously, Cheney, the vice president, it says here to Boy George Bush, was running the show.
[00:02:41]  In other words, Israel was running the show.
[00:02:45]  And what I reveal in the trigger is the fundamental foundation involvement in 9-11 of the Israeli government, Mossad, and members and former members, you're never a former member, of the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces.
[00:03:12]  So I'll pick it up here in the book with Dick Cheney and I say Dick Cheney's ultra-Zionist defense planning group, another one of this network,
[00:03:24]  produced a classified document in 1992 calling for permanent US dominance of Eurasia, this vast landmass from Europe to China and Russia down into the Middle East.
[00:03:43]  and the systematic undermining of potential rivals in the region while targeting any countries with, quote, weapons of mass destruction, which that was 1992, well, of course, a little few years along the road, and weapons of mass destruction was exactly what was used to justify the invasion, for example, of Iraq.
[00:04:12]  And it's being used now for the war on Iran.
[00:04:18]  So the document included strategies to control Western Europe, countries of the former Soviet Union and Asia, and here we go, Afghanistan and Iraq.
[00:04:33]  This was 1992 when Cheney was Father Bush Defense Secretary, and his dream would be realized nine years later as Boy Bush when he was vice president to boy Bush and it was realized thanks to 9-11.
[00:04:53]  In 1997, the same year that the New American Century was created, and this was a crucial think tank in the story of 9-11.
[00:05:12]  Think tanks are there to appear to be suggesting policy for governments when in fact they are imposing those policies, certainly in the case of the Project for the New American Century.
[00:05:31]  Like I say, it was launched in 1997.
[00:05:35]  This crucially important think tank massively important in relation to 9-11 and what happened afterwards, was co-founded by the Ultra-zionist.
[00:05:49]  And then some and Israeli focused Robert Kagan and William Crystal and demanded everything that Cheney and these other members of this network uh.
[00:06:07]  had been promoting for years.
[00:06:10]  Just to give you some idea of how this network connects, Robert Kagan is the husband of Victoria Newland.
[00:06:22]  And Victoria Newland was the State Department official very much involved, centrally involved, in the second coup in Ukraine, which led to Zelensky becoming the president.
[00:06:51]  So the Project for the New American Century was not so much, I say here, a think tank as an ultra-Zionist tank, absolutely.
[00:07:02]  So I say watch the think tanks because they are widely used by the global cult, as I call it, as a means of publicly formulating and securing its policy goals through government.
[00:07:19]  So Robert Kagan is think tank man, I say here.
[00:07:23]  And so are many of the others who imposed the long-planned war on terror, the war of terror.
[00:07:31]  Kagan had been connected to a long list of organizations, cult organizations, including the public policy think tank, the Brookings Institution, the Rockefeller-Rothschild Council on Foreign Relations, the CFR, which has driven much of U.S. foreign policy since it was established in 1921, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,
[00:08:00]  they were also involved with, and that Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was exposed by a congressional committee to be manipulating war.
[00:08:15]  This is how it goes.
[00:08:16]  If you want to run drugs and not be suspected, then run them through an anti-drug agency.
[00:08:26]  If you want to instigate, manipulate war, then do it through a peace organization.
[00:08:33]  What has Trump just launched just before he invaded Iran?
[00:08:42]  The Board of Peace.
[00:08:47]  If it works, keep doing it, as they say.
[00:08:51]  This network had been working towards what is happening now for a long time.
[00:09:00]  And I say here, ultra-Zionist Robert Kagan's Foreign Affairs Policy Board, another part of this network, was established by Barack Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was in this up to her neck when she was in politics.
[00:09:17]  And it was to provide independent advice and opinion to the Secretary of State, the Deputy Secretary of State, and the Director of Policy Planning on Matters Concerning U.S. foreign policy.
[00:09:35]  So this is a classic.
[00:09:37]  You have this organization headed by Kagan, the Project for the New American Century man, called the Foreign Affairs Policy Board.
[00:09:49]  And he is a complete asset of Israel, and he's advising on U.S. foreign policy.
[00:10:03]  This has been happening all the way through, and it's still happening under Trump.
[00:10:12]  So I talk about the common theme of Kagan, the common theme being controlling foreign policy and the Zionist common theme.
[00:10:26]  And I say the same applies to ultra-Zionist William Crystal, who's the other co-founder of the Project for the New American Century.
[00:10:36]  He is the founder and editor at large, certainly when I wrote this, of the political magazine The Weekly Standard.
[00:10:46]  I think Tucker Carlson worked on that at one point.
[00:10:49]  And he calls himself a political commentator who regularly appeared on all the news shows in America selling the war on terror after 9-11.
[00:11:07]  So I point out that Crystal was also a member of many cult think tanks, which are nothing more than vehicles to drive and influence government policy in pursuit of a clear agenda that is not good for peace, justice and stability of human society.
[00:11:26]  Foreign policy to Crystal, I write, as with his cohort Kagan, is really code for whatever is best for Israel and the ultra-Zionist agenda.
[00:11:38]  Now note, I'm talking here in the 1990s, building up to 9-11, and exactly the same is happening now.
[00:11:52]  So I point out that this network, Zionist network, includes, but is far from limited to, the Project for the New American Century, the American Enterprise Institute, the Council on Foreign Relations, Middle East Media Research Institution, Hudson Institute, Heritage Foundation, Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Middle East Forum,
[00:12:20]  and a long list of openly Zionist organizations, including the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, JINSA, and Center for Security Policy.
[00:12:34]  The network is vast and it's still vast.
[00:12:36]  It just takes a different form now, but it's the same.
[00:12:42]  It's the same deal.
[00:12:44]  So I write, the Project for the New American Century, the PNAC, was absolutely vital to the 9-11 story and to the Iran story ultimately.
[00:12:57]  And the war on terror during its functioning years between 1997 and 2006.
[00:13:05]  Among the members was a long list of key players involved in September the 11th who became known as neocons or neoconservatives, absolute Zionist and Zionist controlled.
[00:13:21]  These are only some of them in the positions they would hold during the incoming Boyd Bush administration that took office in January 2001, just nine months before 9-11.
[00:13:35]  I say you might recognize some of them.
[00:13:38]  It's a long list, but here's some of them.
[00:13:40]  Dick Cheney, vice president and de facto president.
[00:13:44]  Donald Rumsfeld, the 9-11 Secretary of Defense.
[00:13:49]  Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy Secretary of Defense, and the real power behind Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz, ultra-Zionist.
[00:14:05]  Dove Zakheim, 9-11 Pentagon Comptroller in charge of the entire military budget, another ultra-Zionist.
[00:14:14]  Elliot Abrams served in foreign policy roles in the Reagan-Bush years, in which he was involved in the Iran-Contra affair and genocidal U.S. operations in Central America.
[00:14:28]  He was special assistant to Boyd Bush on foreign policy.
[00:14:35]  Well, invade Iraq and Afghanistan, Mr. President.

=== Trump's First Term Allies (03:25) ===

[00:14:40]  And he was appointed by Donald Trump.
[00:14:43]  See how it continues through the the decades to oversee.
[00:14:48]  The US instigated attempted coup in Venezuela in 2019 and, of course Maduro, the Venezuelan leader, was removed there by the Trump military.
[00:15:02]  So it it.
[00:15:03]  It goes on listing these people.
[00:15:07]  Now let's let's, come to this.
[00:15:12]  I say thank goodness this book came out in 2019.
[00:15:18]  The you know, the first term of Trump was underway.
[00:15:22]  Thank goodness, at least the influence in government of Goldman Sachs, ultra Zionist, was going to be ended by Donald Trump, who had attacked the company and its personnel during his election campaign.
[00:15:35]  It's called telling your target audience what it wants to hear.
[00:15:40]  And when he secured power, he named however, the ultra Zionist Steve Mnuchin, a Goldman Sachs employee for 17 years, as his Treasury Secretary.
[00:15:53]  Gary Cohn, another ultra Zionist.
[00:15:55]  He named him chief operating officer, or was he was chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs.
[00:16:02]  He became Trump's director of the National Economic Council and chief economic advisor, and Cohn was later replaced by Larry Kudlow, another ultra Zionist, and Trump's senior advisor was his son-in-law.
[00:16:21]  Come to him as we go along.
[00:16:24]  Yared Kushner, a lifelong friend of Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump named the ultra Zionist Jason Greenblatt as his international negotiator, including on Israel, Palestine, and his ambassador to Israel was the ultra Zionist in his first term, David Friedman, who arranged for the American embassy to be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in Trump's...
[00:16:55]  first term.
[00:16:56]  As I write in the in the roadmap here, this was finished in the latter part of 2025.
[00:17:10]  I write with the Greater Israel project blatantly underway and Netanyahu is openly talking about it, which he's gone on doing.
[00:17:26]  Genocide in Gaza is intent on securing that land for Israel, along with the West Bank.
[00:17:34]  Well, we've seen what they now plan for Gaza and I say we await American government support for annexing the occupied West Bank under Israel ownership.
[00:17:48]  Now that will come in case of when Trump Deleted all limits on weapons supplies to Israel and took the annual Pentagon budget beyond a trillion dollars, preparing for what he knew was planned.

=== Unfolding Conflict Sequence (00:46) ===

[00:18:06]  Open conflict with Iran was unleashed in 2025, I write, and I have warned for so long that Iran was likely to be the flashpoint for a wider conflict between the West and China-Russia.
[00:18:21]  We'll see if that unfolds in this sequence.
[00:18:24]  Bombing of Lebanon continues, does now as I speak, a country that attacking Iran is planned to weaken, and the bombing of Iran, I write, is far from over.
[00:18:41]  And well, that turned out to be.
[00:18:48]  So I hope you got something out of that, and I'll see Next month.
