You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
paul joseph watson
I think it's time. So a race supremacist with extremist views tries to massacre a bunch of people on a New York subway.
Then the media and authorities seem pretty keen on quickly dismissing a political or racial motive.
Gee, I wonder why?
Really makes you think.
unidentified
Well, this is awkward.
paul joseph watson
Police. Suspect described as a black male.
CNN. Now back to Ukraine.
What did the suspect think of white people?
unidentified
Blacks and white so-called should not even be in the same hemisphere.
paul joseph watson
Oh, do you think if the shooter had been white and had posted innumerable racist statements about black people that the media may just have questioned if there was a race-hate motivation to his rampage?
But not in this case. You black!
Alleged shooter Frank James didn't leave much to the imagination when it came to his political views.
He was a Black Lives Matter supporter.
He posted his hatred for Trump.
He said 9-11 was, quote, He expressed horror at the Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, being married to a white man.
He posted a meme that literally said, quote, He posted a video to Facebook called, quote, He predicted a race war, commenting, quote, I should have gotten a gun and just started shooting the MFers.
Reverse the races on all that, and the media would be wall-to-wall moral panicking about white supremacy right now.
No doubt after blaming it on gun ownership, they'll now rapidly pivot to the mental health angle after the suspect is caught.
It's like the Peter Griffin skin colour chart, but in reverse.
But how did CNN report it?
The suspect, quote, repeatedly espoused hatred towards...
African-Americans.
Really? How? By using the N-word when he's black.
In this entire article they make no mention whatsoever of the numerous anti-white violent statements posted to Facebook and YouTube by the suspects.
Also note how the suspect was allowed to post violent hate speech on Facebook for years, unimpeded, while you got banned for posting Anthony Fauci memes.
The media now appears to be pivoting back to a limited hangout, which is that the suspect may have targeted Asians.
And yet Brooklyn itself has been flooded with white gentrifiers in recent years.
One question CNN won't ask.
Was the suspect radicalized by anti-white rhetoric, legitimized by the culture and amplified by social media and legacy media?
Also recall that they tried to blame black on Asian violent crime on white people too, CNN desperately figuring out a way to blame an attack carried out by an anti-white Trump-hating BLM supporter.
Meanwhile, others were keen on drawing attention to those who they asserted were the real victims.
Praying for the folks in Brooklyn, praying for all the black men who now have a target on them.
I mean, yeah, thoughts and prayers to the victims, but surely we should be worrying about short men who now have a target on them.
unidentified
Approximately five feet, five inches tall.
paul joseph watson
Eager to inform the public and hasten the suspect's capture, the media rushed to... not describe what he actually looked like.
New York Times, police are seeking a man with a gas mask and an orange construction vest who had been wearing a dark blue outfit that appeared to resemble that of a transit worker.
Yeah, if you're trying to help them catch the guy, why are you only describing the clothes he wore?
Which he's obviously going to have removed by now anyway, while saying nothing about his actual appearance.
James was previously known to the FBI, but investigated and cleared, the feds presumably being more interested in framing Americans for fake plots to abduct governors.
The attack occurred just two weeks after Sacramento's worst mass shooting in history, something the media also mysteriously lost interest in very quickly for unknown reasons.
New black!
Why supremacy is the problem?
Thankfully by some miracle no one was killed during the Brooklyn attack.
The shooter's gun jammed during the incident.
We wish the injured a speedy recovery, and I hope by the time you watch this video the suspect is captured before he has the chance to attack again.
unidentified
*music*
matt infowars
*music* Surprise. I'm back for another day with you.
It's gonna be amazing. So we've got a couple of videos for you guys today.
We'll have some more wake-up videos.
Heard from some people after the show, thought that some of the wake-up story stuff and wake-up video stuff was cool.
Of course, we'll have some news for you today, a couple of headlines that I saw.
And maybe we'll get to some of your calls if I don't just eat up all the airtime like a jerk.
Let's start off with some old news.
I think this relates to video that we've got on band.video.
If you guys go to the band.video section titled Alex Jones Predictions, you could probably waste a ton of hours there because...
There's a bunch of stuff that Alex just knew.
He knew a lot of stuff, just like the alchemists of old.
We'll talk about that in a little bit, too.
When I was out in the San Francisco area, I visited the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.
It's very interesting to see that type of culture and how it's come down into our culture, other cultures.
Very interesting. But let's start off with the microchip implants that let you pay with your hand.
This is a story we covered in our Daily Dispatch on Tuesday.
And go ahead and start reading it here for you.
Patrick Pauman causes a stir whenever he pays for something in a shop or a restaurant.
This is because the 37-year-old doesn't need to use a bank card or his mobile phone to pay.
Instead, he simply places his left hand near the contactless card reader and the payment goes through.
The reactions I get from cashiers are priceless, says Mr.
Pauman, a security guard from the Netherlands.
He's able to pay using his hand because back in 2019, he had a contactless payment microchip injected under his skin.
The procedure hurts as much as when someone pinches your skin.
All right, first off, the people pinching your skin, dude, probably doing it a little rough if that's all it feels like.
See here in the article, there's like an x-ray with this microchip in his hand.
And I guess that's how he pays using near-field technology, right?
Or, oh, I'm sorry. I misspoke.
There's near-field communication, but maybe it's RFID. Either way, this is a trend that we've been tracking for a long time.
Alex Jones knew all about it.
And we've got a video.
It might get cut off a little bit here.
And we're going to go to this video here right about now.
Let's see Alex Jones talking about this, like back when the aspect ratio of television was 4 by 3 instead of 16 by 9.
alex jones
And then I've got stuff right off the CNN website.
This is page 205, September 3rd, from IDORUCNN.com.
And it says, September 2nd, 1998, by Fred McClaims.
How much is convenience worth to you?
How much would you pay? Or give up to have doors open, but only for you when you walk near.
Have your elevator recognize you and automatically select the correct floor.
Have your car automatically unlock itself for you and only be able to start when you and nobody else are sitting in the driver's seat.
matt infowars
Okay, that sounds kind of convenient.
alex jones
Have your computer configured only to allow you to gain full access regardless of passwords or physical keys.
My friends, it talks about the biochips that professors at the University of MIT and some universities in Britain are actually putting biochips in their bodies.
matt infowars
This guy from the article, Pat Broda.
alex jones
I didn't know I was going on the air here.
I was going to have this later on the radio and things.
I read this all last night.
Products that can block network access based on your face and fingerprints.
Network World Fusion.
Free recognition required to view this site.
Using body language to secure networks.
Network World Fusion. Free registration required to identification.
Confirm. Network World Fusion.
And they're just bragging about it.
They got professors in here talking about the biochips that they have in their bodies.
I mean, I'm losing my mind.
Biometrics. A face could launch a thousand ships.
Computer world. Biometrics.
E-cache to gain ground.
External sites are not...
It just goes on and on.
This is raw CNN stuff right here.
This isn't the stuff on their cover page.
You have to dig in to get this.
I'm sorry. I'm just not getting to this.
I've got to get to this professor.
unidentified
Two different professors. Unbelievable.
alex jones
We'll take some calls, and while the callers are talking, I'll read over this, because I needed to highlight this.
I mean, it is just the most sickening thing.
Oh, here it is! Oh, sure, there are certain drawbacks to having yourself implanted with active microchips.
Think of the privacy implications.
If you can set up sensors to detect your presence, so could somebody else.
But look at the bright side.
Who wouldn't want to stop worrying about where...
They put their keys or mobile speed pass and no more remembering pesky pins.
Oh, great. You think kids are dumb now with math because of calculators?
Everything will be done for you.
Woo! Front of the door.
Woo! Everything opens.
The problem is, as we hurtle towards Y2K and all the rest of this stuff, I mean, there's been computer problems at the place I work and my card key won't work to get through the door.
Good old fashioned key wouldn't do that.
You know, it's funny. If you read Frank Herbert's Dune, who is a greater philosopher than Nietzsche or Aristotle.
I'm serious. And he puts it into a science fiction form.
And it's not the stupid science fiction, the cowboys and Indians in space type stuff that you see nowadays, where it's just melodrama.
I mean, it's deep thought.
The whole Dune was four or five books.
And I've read four of them. I haven't had time to read the other one.
I read those years ago. But it talks about how man uses machines and gives up everything.
And pretty soon, or Isaac Asimov's iRobot.
Pretty soon, you're just total slaves.
And the robots are going to watch over you.
And there's this secret technocracy of people that control you.
Same thing with THX 1138, the George Lucas 1974 film with Robert Duvall.
And it's funny. George Lucas gives you a message over and over, a total genius.
Look in his movie, American Graffiti, the license plate, say THX 1138.
His sound system is THX. In Star Wars, one of the codes is THX 1138.
Every one of George Lucas's films, even the Indiana Jones movies, has THX 1138 in it.
What is THX 1138?
THX 1138 was the name of the human that rebels against the technocracy in the far distant future in his 1974 THX 1138 with Robert Duvall.
It's a message to you.
What is Star Wars?
It's a message to you by intelligent people.
It's not easy to make one of those films.
They're warning you about the empire, about control, about blowing up things and blaming it on the rebels.
They're warning you.
Everybody in Hollywood is not bad.
So THX 1138 is the lone man, the lone human, the lone person, the lone woman, the lone soul that rebels, rebels against the system.
It's a dehumanizing system.
I remember when Galaxy 4 went out about three months ago, just one of 900 commercial satellites, just one!
One! And at half these gas stations, they had to hand type in your cards.
Pagers weren't working.
Cell phones were screwing up because of the relay systems being on.
I mean, you're talking about serious problems.
From one satellite, 900 of them up there that are commercial.
Who knows how many secret government ones.
They had that big billion dollar one blow up just last month.
On the launch pad. Alright, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
unidentified
Alright folks, that's about what he wanted to talk to you about.
matt infowars
So again, it's all coming true.
Think about it. Microchips and hands.
What happened if someone tried to steal your wallet then?
They just like cut off your hand?
Give me your hand.
unidentified
Now.
Hello, everybody. everybody.
matt infowars
Tuned into the American Journal.
It's Matt Weber filling in for Harrison Smith again today.
He will be back in the near future, don't you worry.
He is doing just fine.
He is in good health.
He is hanging out with the fam, getting some much-deserved R&R. He was doing back-breaking seven-hour days last week, so we're glad that he's got a little extra time here.
And last segment we were going over some implantable microchips and I was reading a little further into the article here.
I really started thinking about things, right?
Like in the future, a future of microchips and hands and perhaps other places, right?
Like... If you're like part of the lower class, they like put it in your like lip or something.
And then like in order to pay for something, you've got to like kneel down and kiss like the RFID reader, which is going to be like in the shape of a hand with like a ring or maybe it's going to be like a boot.
You know what I mean? And I, you know, I don't know.
Maybe that's just my mind wandering, but I can see it.
I can see it. Or maybe it's just going to be in the hands, you know, pretty normie.
You know what I mean? Like, it'll just be, like, right in the hand, and then, yeah, like, oh, yeah, if, like, the police, you know, and you get pulled over, show me your hands!
Like, bro, getting aggro.
But, slightly disturbing.
Which leads us, I guess, to our next story here.
17, 17 LA gangs have been, have sent out crews to follow and rob the city's wealthiest, LAPD says.
More than a dozen Los Angeles gangs are targeting some of the city's wealthiest residents in a new aggressive manner, sending out crews in multiple cars to find, follow, and rob anyone driving high-end vehicles or wearing expensive jewelry, according to the police.
Now, if you think about this, right, and you think about the diffusion of innovations, right, you'll see with any innovation, the wealthiest people are going to be the early adopters of that innovation, right?
So you just think about it, right?
I was kind of thinking out loud when I said, like, what if someone robs you at the end of that segment?
But this, you're driving like your nice RFID chip activated car.
Gangbanger just follows you.
Probably cuts your hand off to get access to your car.
Wouldn't that be tight? But, yeah, let's keep going here.
In many cases, they're making off with designer handbags, diamond-studded watches, and other items worth tens of thousands of dollars, if not more.
And then, what are they doing?
They're peddling it on the black market.
Oh, no. Additional robberies.
Those are among the conclusions of a Los Angeles Police Department task force convened at the end of last year to identify the cause of a sudden surge in follow-home or follow-off robberies.
That's what they're calling them, follow-home or follow-off robberies.
Interesting. Of course, yeah, coming from nightclubs, it's like the best...
I mean, if you're thinking like a criminal, right?
So, word to the wise, if you're out in L.A., Probably tuck the chain.
Tuck the chain when you're coming out the nightclub.
Is it too late to make America great again?
Can we say that now? Or is that like...
I bet the next president, though, no matter what, it could even be a joke.
It doesn't even have to be a serious slogan.
They can just say, hey, let's make America great again.
Everybody's going to know what they're talking about.
Let's make it 2016 through 2020.
Let's just go back. It'll be great.
unidentified
Yikes, folks. Yikes.
matt infowars
Alright, let's move into other news.
Other news. Oh, speaking of making America great again, Biden's approval craters to a 33%.
My thoughts on this.
Who are they polling?
Who in the hell are they polling?
That 33% of think that he's doing a good job.
Low information people.
People maybe who've got heaping Dose of cognitive dissonance and they can't, you know, go back and say they made a mistake when they pulled the lever for Biden.
And, you know, there are a lot of people out there.
I firmly believe there was a lot of, there is a lot of evidence of tampered votes, vote trafficking, all this stuff.
I'm not going to be gaslit in saying there wasn't.
And I think at this point, you know, if you'd asked me six months ago, I would have said, yeah, I think there was, you know, tampered votes, vote rigging.
But would it have been enough to sway the election?
And I think at this point, we're seeing, you know, in Wisconsin and Arizona that, yeah, it definitely looks like it was in the threshold, the margin of error.
So... We'll just kind of have to keep track of those things.
You know, Gateway Pundit does a good job of keeping up with that type of news.
I'm sure most Infowars readers, listeners are familiar with that website, but it's a great place to keep up with that information if that's what interests you.
But Biden's approval craters at 33%, just 26% of independents approve of his job in the White House.
39% back his handling of Ukraine.
And here's the real shocker, right?
68 says the United States should be doing more to stop Putin's forces killing civilians.
And yet another shocking poll, right?
It's very shocking. That speaks to the media coverage of the Ukraine war.
Right? We'll be talking a little bit about wars in the next segment.
I'll be playing a couple videos for you from James Corbett.
We're going to be taking a look back because hindsight is 20-20.
We are glad for people out there who are able to go back and give really great analysis of these things.
But a lot of people in the United States right now think that We should be doing more to get into the war in Afghanistan.
And, you know, if we take a look back at World War I, right?
Cecil Rhodes, the video Monopoly, Who Owns the World by Tim Gileen, mentioned Cecil Rhodes.
And for those of you who don't know who Cecil Rhodes is, if you've ever heard of a Rhodes scholar, well, he had something to do with that, right?
The international... Policy and things like that, that Rhodes Scholars get trained in, the diplomacy, right?
But World War I, you know, Cecil Rhodes was very instrumental in setting up alliances which pulled the whole world into war in World War I, which, you know, has dictated everything that's happened since, right? It was such a major event that, you know, there are still ripples of World War I, World War II that, you know, we're dealing with today.
If you look at the reparations and things like that, that were unpayable, do you look at, you know, that dictating how we sucked in a bunch of Nazi scientists with Operation Paperclip?
We compromised our morals because we said, oh, well, you know, there was so much damage done by the war.
How are we ever going to recoup those costs?
Well, you know, Russia, the East, and the West...
I don't know. Is Russia the East?
I mean, when you talk about Western culture, I think you're talking about, like, Western Rome.
That type of stuff, but...
Anyways, you know, got into a cold war.
Started sucking up Nazi scientists during the forbidden science.
Led us to the military-industrial complex.
Here we are. Yay.
unidentified
In the light You will find the road.
A bit of lead.
matt infowars
We're going to keep it rolling for a second.
unidentified
Did you ever believe that I believed you?
matt infowars
This song. Even when we take calls today, you're definitely gonna have to tell me your favorite Led Zeppelin song.
unidentified
I think this one's a great one.
Rajmere's great, but you know, no quarter.
matt infowars
Super heavy.
unidentified
Love it. A little bit of Voodoo Child.
matt infowars
Wait, that's Jimi Hendrix.
What am I thinking? It's actually, you know what?
Reading the Big Book of Metal when I was like a teenager.
Big Book of Rock and Roll, Big Book of Metal.
But they credited metal music with being started by Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix and No Quarter by Led Zeppelin.
Those songs help to, I guess, form the subgenre of rock, which is metal, according to the Big Book of Rock.
Fun fact, I guess.
Maybe it's a fact, maybe it's an opinion.
That's what we got for you on InfoWars.
Hot takes, bold opinions, facts, those things.
Talking about bold moves.
Actually, you know what? We are going to save some of this news for the next segment.
We got a few more articles to go over, some current headlines.
What we were talking about in the last segment was war, war with Ukraine, how the world could slip into war.
And I think that that...
It stems back to wars in the Middle East that the United States was participating in in the early 2000s all the way to this year.
And so, in line with what we were doing yesterday, playing wake-up videos, videos that should help you wake up friends, you know, if you feel like you know what's up, but you might not have the words to articulate, You know exactly how you feel on the subject.
Those videos are great ways to introduce people to your way of thinking or maybe they're great to check out so that you can brush up on how exactly you're going to approach the topic with friends and family so that you don't come off as well a cliche conspiracy person.
Right? So with that being said we are going to go To a video by James Corbett.
This is like the OG waker upper.
It's like the alarm clock that you have in the morning.
It's like the nuke. It's 9-11 in 5 minutes by James Corbett.
I highly suggest you search this.
Download it for yourself. Just play it.
If you're like working in a retail store or something, just plug your iPod, your cell phone into the thing, jack in, you're good to go.
Especially if you're about to leave that store, if you're about to leave retail, do it.
This is the ultimate mic drop.
unidentified
Here you go. There's music too.
james corbett
No one will be the wiser. On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 men armed with box cutters directed by a man on dialysis in a cave fortress halfway around the world using a satellite phone and a laptop directed the most sophisticated penetration of the most heavily defended airspace in the world.
Overpowering the passengers and the military combat trained pilots on four commercial aircraft before flying those planes wildly off course for over an hour without being molested by a single fighter interceptor.
These 19 hijackers, devout religious fundamentalists who like to drink alcohol, snort cocaine, and live with pink-haired strippers, managed to knock down three buildings with two planes in New York.
While in Washington, a pilot who couldn't handle a single-engine Cessna was able to fly a 757 in an 8,000-foot descending 270-degree corkscrew turn to come exactly level with the ground.
Hitting the Pentagon in the Budget Analyst Office, where DOD staffers were working on the mystery of the $2.3 trillion that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had announced missing from the Pentagon's coffers in a press conference the day before, on September 10, 2001.
Luckily, the news anchors knew who did it within minutes.
Osama bin Laden. The pundits knew within hours.
Osama bin Laden. The administration knew within the day.
unidentified
Terrorists who committed these acts.
james corbett
And the evidence literally fell into the FBI's lap.
But for some reason, a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists demanded an investigation into the greatest attack on American soil in history.
That investigation was delayed, underfunded, set up to fail, a conflict of interest, and a cover-up from start to finish.
It was based on testimony extracted through torture, the records of which were destroyed.
It failed to mention the existence of WTC-7, Able Danger, P-TECH, Sibel Edmonds, OBL and the CIA, and the drills of hijacked aircraft being flown into buildings that were being simulated at the precise same time that those events were actually happening.
It was lied to by the Pentagon, the CIA, the Bush administration, and as for Bush and Cheney, well, no one knows what they told it because they testified in secret, off the record, not in oath, and behind closed doors.
It didn't bother to look at who funded the attacks because that question is ultimately of little practical significance.
Still, the 9-11 Commission did brilliantly answering all of the questions the public had, except most of the victims' family members' questions, and pinned blame on all the people responsible, although no one so much has lost their job.
Determining the attacks were...
Failure of imagination.
unidentified
Because... Nobody in our government, at least, and I don't think the prior government could envision flying airplanes in the buildings.
james corbett
Except the Pentagon, FEMA, NORAD, and the NRO. The DIA destroyed 2.5 terabytes of data on able danger, but that's okay because it probably wasn't important.
The SEC destroyed their records on the investigation into the insider trading before the attacks, but that's okay because destroying the records of the largest investigation in SEC history is just part of routine record-keeping.
NIST has classified the data that they used for their model of WTC7's collapse, but that's okay because knowing how they made their model of the collapse would jeopardize public safety.
The FBI has argued that all material related to their investigation of 9-11 should be kept secret from the public, but that's okay because the FBI probably has nothing to hide.
This man never existed, nor is anything he had to say worthy of your attention, and if you say otherwise, you are a paranoid conspiracy theorist and deserve to be shunned by all of humanity.
Likewise him, him, him, and her.
And her and her and him.
Osama bin Laden lived in a cave fortress in the hills of Afghanistan, but somehow got away.
Then he was hiding out in Tora Bora, but somehow got away.
Then he lived in Abbottabad for years, taunting the most comprehensive intelligence dragnet employing the most sophisticated technology in the history of the world for a decade, releasing video after video with complete impunity and getting younger and younger as he did so, before finally being found in a daring SEAL team raid which wasn't recorded on video, in which he didn't resist, or use his wife as a human shield, And in which these crack special forces operatives panicked and killed this unarmed man, supposedly the best source of intelligence about those dastardly terrorists, on the entire planet.
Then they dumped his body in the ocean before telling anyone about it.
Then a couple dozen of that team's members died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.
This is the story of 9-11, brought to you by the media which told you the hard truths about...
unidentified
His head could be seen to move violently forward.
And... They took the babies out of the incubators.
james corbett
And mobile production facilities.
unidentified
And the rescue of Jessica Lynch.
james corbett
If you have any questions about this story, you are a batshit, paranoid, tinfoil, dog-abusing baby hater and will be reviled by everyone.
If you love your country and or freedom, happiness, rainbows, rock and roll, puppy dogs, apple pie, and your grandma, you will never, ever express doubts about any part of this story to anyone.
Ever.
This has been a public service announcement by the friends of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA, SEC, MSM, White House, NIST, and the 9-11 Commission.
unidentified
Because ignorance is strength.
matt infowars
There you go.
You dog-abusing baby-haters.
Of course we love rock and roll.
We love death clock in the chat.
I guess we'll be getting a taste of death clock on the way out.
I don't know. We'll see. I might have the thumbs up.
Might have the thumbs down.
We'll see. Just keep chatting.
We'll keep reading. In the next segment, we're going to be delving into another video by...
James Corbett on the Afghanistan War.
This is a video that he published in 2016, about six years before we got out of the Afghanistan War or, you know, ended it.
We ended the Afghanistan War, right?
Pulled out. And that's also a very illuminating, great way to pull the curtain back because he gets into specifics on how we got into that war and why we got into that war.
Here we go.
I'm going to shut up now and let the music take us to a higher place.
unidentified
I'm going to shut down.
matt infowars
Here it is.
unidentified
Here it is.
matt infowars
Oh This is some of the finest metal you'll be able to find on the internet.
More than the internet.
It's like under oath from their album Lost in the Sound of Separation.
Good stuff. Good, good stuff.
Love this album. It's probably one of my top three.
Yeah, good, good stuff.
Alright, folks, we are getting back into war and stuff.
It's my favorite thing to talk about.
But James Corbett of CorbettReport.com had a video.
Sorry, the song is just so good.
Afghanistan War.
This is 10 years after the Afghanistan war.
Everything we know by James Corbett.
It's clip 13. We're going to delve in right about now.
james corbett
October 7th, 2016 marks the 15th anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan by U.S.-led NATO forces.
15 years since the bombs began raining down on the country.
15 years of drone strikes and civilian massacres, detainees and prison torture, insurgency and bombings, warlords and drug lords and CIA kickbacks.
15 years of death.
15 years of destruction.
And still, like a decades-long nightmare, it continues.
barack obama
I'm announcing an additional adjustment to our posture.
Instead of going down to 5,500 troops by the end of this year, the United States will maintain approximately 8,400 troops in Afghanistan until next year through the end of my administration.
The narrow missions assigned to our forces will not change.
They remain focused on supporting Afghan forces and going after terrorists.
But maintaining our forces at this specific level, based on our assessment of the security conditions and the strength of Afghan forces, We'll allow us to continue to provide tailored support to help Afghan forces continue to improve.

The world was told that the invasion, launched after the invocation of NATO's self-defense treaty, was a response to the false flag events of September 11, 2001.
unidentified
Pay attention! On September the 12th, the North Atlantic Council met again in response to the appalling attacks perpetrated yesterday against the United States of America.
The Council agreed that if it is determined that this attack was directed from abroad against the United States, it shall be regarded as an action covered by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which states that an armed attack against one or more of the Allies in Europe or in North America shall be considered an attack against them all.
james corbett
But this explanation, like the official narrative of the events of 9-11 itself, was a carefully constructed lie.
As Professor Michele Chosodovsky of the Center for Research on Globalization explains, the U.S. government's demand for Osama bin Laden's extradition were proven disingenuous when they repeatedly denied the Taliban's offers to extradite him.
And the invasion itself, a major theater operation, was launched impossibly quickly.
unidentified
Impossibly quickly. What happened is that NATO essentially declared war.
It was confirmed subsequently, but it declared war on Afghanistan on the grounds that Afghanistan had attacked America through its support of Al-Qaeda.
It was extremely tenuous.
But in a bitter irony, nobody actually questioned the logic of this decision, and that included trade unions, NGOs, and so on.
The other element, which I think is very crucial, is that you do not prepare a large-scale theater war thousands of miles away In less than 28 days.
That war was prepared before 9-11.
And consequently, public opinion was led to believe that this was an act of retribution.
Military analysts were mum on the subject.
They know the logic and the timing of military projects.
Now, the third element, I think, which is very important, is that...
The Afghan government, which the US refers to as the Taliban, approached the US State Department on two occasions.
And said, if you want to have Bin Laden extradite the United States to U.S. justice, we will consider and we will discuss it.
And that proposal had been turned down by the Bush administration on the grounds to quote George W. Bush, we do not negotiate with terrorists, quote unquote.
So that in effect, the Afghan war was already in the pipeline.
And I think what is also important is that the war in Afghanistan, under the global war on terrorism, which was launched with the war in Afghanistan, sets the stage for a series of Of wars under the same mandate of going after terrorists.
Of course, we have Iraq.
Then we have Libya.
We have Syria. We have Yemen.
We also have Pakistan, the drone war.
And then we have the extension of the global war on terrorism to sub-Saharan Africa to Southeast Asia.
james corbett
That the invasion of Afghanistan had been planned well before 9-11 was first revealed by Niaz Naik, the former foreign secretary of Pakistan, who told BBC News that he was told by senior American officials in mid-July of 2001 that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October.
This story was confirmed by Donald Rumsfeld, who told the September 11th commission hearings in March of 2004 that the first major national security directive of the Bush administration was a plan to combat the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Although it was not officially signed until October 25th, 2001, nearly three weeks after the invasion began, it was in fact drafted in June of that year and was sitting on the president's desk waiting to be signed on September 4th, 2001.
unidentified
Weird. Weird, bro.
donald rumsfeld
Dr. Rice has stated that she asked the National Security Council staff in her first week in office...
matt infowars
Hey, can I pull in Alex Jones real quick and ask you to back it up?
donald rumsfeld
In early March, the staff was directed to...
matt infowars
That's a bombshell of a line.
Yeah, I'm just doing the interrupt thing here and I'm telling you to back it up.
This, like the last two, three minutes of this, we're only going to back it up like 30 seconds or whatever.
Maybe 10, 15.
They know what I'm talking about.
Guys, you have to understand...
This was on the desk of George W. Bush before September 11th.
Dead air, I know.
But am I coming across?
Seriously. Let's roll it one more time.
james corbett
It was in fact drafted in June of that year and was sitting on the president's desk waiting to be signed on September 4th, 2001, one full week before 9-11.
donald rumsfeld
Dr. Rice has stated that she asked the National Security Council staff in her first week in office for a new presidential initiative on al-Qaeda.
In early March, the staff was directed to craft a more aggressive strategy aimed at eliminating the al-Qaeda threat.
The first draft of that approach in the form of a presidential directive was circulated by the NSC staff in June of 2001, and a number of meetings were held that summer at the deputy secretary level to address the policy questions involved.
Such as relating an aggressive strategy against Taliban to US-Pakistan relations.
By the first week of September, the process had arrived at a strategy that was presented to principals and later became NSPD-9, the president's first major substantive national security decision directive.
It was presented for a decision by principals on September 4th, 2001, seven days before the 11th, and later signed by the president with minor changes and a preamble to reflect the events of September 11th in October.
james corbett
So if the plan to invade Afghanistan was not about 9-11, then why were the neocons so eager to take over the country?
matt infowars
We are going to pick this up on the other side because it gets a little further in depth.
And let me tell you, if you enjoyed any part of that or if any of that was intriguing to you, the next part is going to be the why.
Okay? Let me tell you, there was a popular slogan going around.
You don't hear it very much anymore.
But never forget... We're not going to forget.
Still have a bone to pick with these people.
I'm sure you do too.
See you on the other side.
unidentified
See you on the other side.
See you on the other side.
Watch him become a god.
matt infowars
Tune into the American Journal.
Infowars.com and band.video.
We're rocking out this morning. We were just watching the Afghanistan War 10 years, 10 years in the Afghanistan War, Afghanistan War 10 years later, 15 years later.
This is by James Corbett, CorbettReport.com.
You go to CorbettReport.com, you type in Afghanistan War, because this is an older video.
It'll be on the front page.
All of the videos he has on the Afghanistan War are worth...
Watching, they're definitely worth the time that it will take.
You will become way more informed and you'll be able to draw more parallels, right?
Because when you understand history, when you look at it with a critical lens, you're going to better be able to navigate the now, right?
And... Yeah, mind-blowing.
We don't have enough time to get into that video, this segment.
So I'm going to tell you a little bit about what I've got here on my desk.
I have got the new Save the Frogs Infowars.com hat.
I'm donning it for the first time here.
Boom. Bada bing, bada boom.
Gotta say. Look good and green.
And I'm sure you do too.
And you can get this hat for $8.95.
I found that out yesterday live on air.
My reaction was candid.
It was true. And I did a thing where I put a word in and I didn't actually pay for this hat.
So it's not coming home with me.
But guess what? I got it now.
I'm wearing it. It's great.
Love it. And you can get it too.
$8.75.
$8.75. I lied to you when I said $8.95.
It's $8.75.
And think about this. Again, you spend $8.75 today.
For the next couple of days, you are going to be so happy to go to the mailbox.
You're not going to be worrying about them bills, right?
unidentified
Whatever. I've got a little backstory on that hat.
It's actually made by a Texas company.
Very high quality. For $8.95, it literally stayed like...
matt infowars
Yeah, no, this thing is great.
High quality material. It feels really good to the touch.
The logo, here, let's go deep on the doc cam here.
Got this guy. Check out this logo.
See that? Logo is like...
Yep, yep, yep.
It's up here. Yeah, this logo, it feels good.
It's like, what's the word for this?
Embossed. It's textured.
It's high quality is what it is, right?
You can have one too. You see this stuff right here?
The holes. It's to keep you cool during the summertime.
Look cool. Stay cool.
Boom. You can have a hat like this.
If you go to infowarsstore.com, guys, it's a deal and it's not going to be around for long because we've got limited quantities of all of our merch now.
So when it sells out, you don't want to be on the side of like, okay, I got a story.
Went to a thrift store one time, saw this awesome floral shirt.
It wasn't even floral. It was like cactuses and stuff.
Vintage. 20 bucks.
I was thinking, no, I don't need another shirt.
To this day, It's like seven years ago.
I still regret this, okay?
By the way, was wearing the frog shirt out yesterday.
Went to the post office.
Lady behind me.
Struck up a conversation.
Thinking to myself, oh, here we go.
Well, you know what?
Turns out she wasn't bad looking.
And we had a great conversation about atrazine and frogs.
Too bad for her.
Taken. Sorry.
But, uh... Yeah, anyways, yeah, true story.
I was waiting to mail off a couple of documents and a check to the State Department, get that passport renewed.
And, yeah, a person had no idea about Infowars.
Like, super refreshing, right?
When people aren't, like, when you meet people who aren't politically engaged, right?
Because, again, it's an opportunity to start off on the right foot.
Right? Great opportunity to wake people up.
So I told her about atrazine, about the frogs, about why it's important, right, to save the frogs.
Because if you think about it, well, I'll let you think about it.
We're going to break.
unidentified
We're waiting for Smith.
Hello, everybody.
You're tuned into the American Journal.
It's me, your host, Matt.
matt infowars
How's it going? That's my best Kermit impression.
Talking about like saving the frogs and stuff.
So yeah, anyway, just to polish that thought off here.
Saving the frog, super important.
One thing that we don't discuss here that I remember from high school biology class when I had to dissect the frog like most of you out there.
A lot of people had to dissect the frog.
A couple people had to dissect like a worm and stuff like that.
But my biology teacher, she told me it's important because these bullfrogs and these frogs that are living down in these crops, you know, living in this area, they've got this like amphibious skin or whatever.
And so therefore they absorb all the chemicals right around them.
And so scientists who dissect these frogs routinely Observe the changes in their biology and they can be like, oh wow, the runoff from these X chemicals or this pesticide is really toxic.
Here's why. Because frogs multiply much quicker.
You got more generations of frogs and a less period of time.
So you can see the effects of these chemicals over multiple generations.
It's kind of like a live field experiment.
So that's one reason.
Another reason you guys can check out.
Super intrigued. We had a guest late last year or early this year.
I don't know. Time's flying. OKI. OKI's Weird Stories.
He's got a YouTube channel.
He's not been banned off YouTube, but I highly suggest checking out his Frogs documentary.
Super eye-opening.
Why is that? He talks about corporations and he talks about...
Basically, there's a whole deal where the science that's carried out is funded by the corporations that make the chemicals.
It's a big club.
And it's like the corporations are in it with the scientists that conduct the research.
And if you're like this dude with the earrings and the frogs, the pet frogs, you'll be kicked out of the club if you do the real science.
unidentified
An actual biologist.
matt infowars
An actual biologist. Yeah, this video is well worth checking out.
They'll flash it up sometime.
I can't remember the exact name of the documentary.
We'll get it to you.
I'm putting them on the spot.
I'm the bad person.
There's this guy. Okie's Weird Stories is the channel.
And anyways... Definitely worth checking out.
If you didn't hear last segment, frog hats, they're on sale.
Frog merch. It's all the rage in the store.
There we go. Okie's Weird Stories.
And it's his pinned video because Alex Jones is actually wildly popular.
Everyone knows it. We'll be playing an awesome video here, most likely in the third hour with Alex Jones.
Getting drunk and painting rocks with Alex Jones.
It's the lead story on band.video on the headline page.
Who doesn't want to do that? I know it's not noon yet or anything like that, but...
It is somewhere. And so before we get back out to that, we are going to go back to the Afghanistan war.
We are going to be talking about the deep state and how the deep state orchestrates wars and why they orchestrate these wars.
This is made by James Corbett of CorbettReport.com.
james corbett
Here it is. Like any major military operation, there are multiple strategic objectives to be achieved.
Securing a key transportation corridor from rich Caspian Sea oil and gas reserves has always been one important objective of the Afghanistan war.
unidentified
Soon after the Taliban came to power in 1996, the administration of Bill Clinton backed a secret plan for a pipeline through Afghanistan from Central the administration of Bill Clinton backed a secret plan for a pipeline through Afghanistan from Central Asia, which has The Taliban were offered a generous cut in the deal and secretly invited to Washington and Texas.
They were treated royally, taken shopping and flown to tourist attractions like the NASA Space Center and Mount Rushmore.
Their tour was so secret that no television news covered it.
Most Americans knew nothing.
By the time George W. Bush came to power, the link between al-Qaeda and the Taliban was an embarrassment, and September the 11th gave Bush an opportunity to get rid of them.
Today, Afghanistan is run by a regime installed by the Americans, and the pipeline deal is going ahead.
A groundbreaking ceremony of Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India TAPI gas pipeline project was held on Sunday at the ancient city of Mari of Turkmenistan.
Turkmenistan President Gabungli Bardis-Mohamdau, Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Vice President Mohammed Hamad Ansari were present at the function.
The 25-year-old concept of TAPI has come on ground reality and it will be completed by 2019.
The ancient city of Mary in Turkmenistan witnessed the historic groundbreaking ceremony of the ambitious Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project, that is TAPI project, that will ensure energy security in South Asia.
Vice President Hamid Ansari, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and leaders of Turkmenistan, Where else are there energy pipelines?
Like Ukraine? Are there energy pipelines going through Ukraine?
Weird. Weird, bro.
james corbett
From the monetary perspective, there is as much as a trillion dollars of untapped mineral wealth in the country that could make it one of the world's leading mining centers in the coming years, a mineral wealth that has been known about for decades.
martha maccallum
Well, you might say Afghanistan hits the jackpot in a sense.
A team of U.S. geologists and Pentagon officials discovering vast riches of untapped mineral deposits there.
They say it could be worth as much as a trillion dollars for that country.
A senior military official says that this could turn the war-torn nation into one of the biggest mining centers in the world.
It's an astonishing piece of news.
Steve Santani is live from Washington.
Steve, how was this discovery made, and how could they not have known that it was there?
unidentified
Well, some people did know the Soviets apparently made some preliminary maps when they occupied Afghanistan back in the 80s, and those maps recently came to the attention of a Pentagon team, which did some high-tech aerial surveillance to discover the extent of this massive potential wealth.
And they found that Afghanistan has deposits of iron and copper that could make it a It's a major producer in the world and deposits of lithium that rival the large reserves in Bolivia.
Lithium is used in batteries that power everybody's computers and blackberries.
General David Petraeus, the CENTCOM commander, said there's stunning potential in that mineral wealth.
james corbett
Martha. And there is also the fact that the world's lucrative multi-billion dollar heroin trade sources almost entirely from the country, with up to 90 percent of the world's opium coming from the record crops that are being diligently protected by U.S. troops.
unidentified
So here's the question. Why are American troops now helping Afghan farmers grow that opium?
Nick Schifrin reports from Afghanistan on a controversial new policy.
In western Kandahar, poppy farmers score, till, harvest their crop.
And the Americans do nothing to stop them.
U.S. soldiers greet farmers.
They commiserate with farmers having a bad harvest.
I'm very sorry for his field this year, and hopefully he has a better harvest next year.
And in one case, they even paid a farmer $1,000 after U.S. and Afghan special forces burned his crop.
If you can come down to the base on my next visit, I will make a payment.
This is controversial.
The opium trade is the Taliban's main source of funding.
Around here, this poppy isn't only a plant.
It's the very basis of the economy here.
Poppy grows everywhere in this area.
You get the deal by now. And most of the farmers base their entire income for the entire season on this harvest.
matt infowars
Stopper there. So, there you go.
Got minerals. You got pipelines.
Where else are their pipelines nowadays?
Could they be going through Ukraine?
Do you see the parallels?
This is why we look back.
unidentified
We look back so that we can navigate forward.
matt infowars
See you on the other side.
unidentified
a new world award.
A new world award.
matt infowars
This is Matt Weber filling in for Harrison Smith.
And if you've ever wondered to yourself, hey, what would it be like to host a show?
Well, guess what? I'm experiencing that now and you can too.
If you call 877-789-2539, that's the number to call.
You'll get connected to me and the crew and we'll take your call.
And then we will talk about things on air.
So when you call in, let's do something today.
Let's let you set the agenda.
Come at us with a news story that you want to talk about.
No crazy fringe news sites that we can't put on screen for fear of weird words in the article.
That's the only rule.
Make sure it's...
Something that you've read because you're going to inform me and I will be the skeptic.
I will be playing the devil's advocate.
I will be the person who will walk with you through this article.
So again, 877-789-2539.
You can come through directly to us.
You can step out of the shadows of the live chat.
And yes, there is a live chat function.
There are currently 33,161 patriots and, well, maybe a couple of trolls on the internet.
Who knows? Again, it's going to be great.
So there's a live chat function if you don't want to call in, if you just want to participate with some people in the chat.
You never know where that's going to go.
But if you want to call in...
Oh, yes.
I see. Alright, you know what?
Don't even... Don't even screen Patty.
Let's just go to Patty in New Jersey.
unidentified
Let's just do it. Yeah.
matt infowars
Yeah. Fatty with Patty in New Jersey.
Let's do it. Right now.
No need to even screen him. He's going to tell you about some crypto.
What's going on, Patty?
Alright, he's on air. We're freestyling this morning.
How's it going? I love it.
unidentified
This is incredible.
Matt, you're doing a great job, bro.
Yesterday, today, I actually wrote down, I got a couple things here.
Cool. Stairway to Heaven, my favorite Zeppelin song.
I had some notes from yesterday.
I'm not very well versed in Zeppelin, but, you know...
matt infowars
How many notes does it take you?
Like, how many seconds does it take you to realize you're listening to Stairway to Heaven?
I think my parents can probably...
It's like three notes, and it's like, oh, Stairway to Heaven.
And then it's like, got it.
unidentified
I don't know. It's pretty fast.
I'm pretty good with, like, when the radio shows do like that, pick the song.
You know, if it's like, pick the song, like, I'm pretty good with those.
I just... You're the only radio station, TV station that I'm able to call instantaneously and get through.
I think you guys just like me.
matt infowars
You guys got us on speed dial?
unidentified
Of course I do, yeah.
matt infowars
Nice. You should favorite us, too.
unidentified
Yeah. I mean, it's on my business line, so it's connected directly to the Wi-Fi router.
When I hit it, it goes.
It's just quick. Top of the line.
Great job. So what's going on, Teddy?
So... Yeah, we're coming down to the wire, I think.
So it's not a coincidence that you went into the 33% earlier this morning.
I wake up at 4 o'clock Eastern every morning, and I start digging into the news because I like doing it.
It makes me feel good inside.
Now, I ran into a little bit of research.
I tagged and DM'd you guys, the American Journal's Twitter, with a Donald Duck in...
Math Magic Land.
Now, when I was a kid, I was fascinated with this math cartoon.
Never knew why.
And now with the Gematria and the crypto and just how the news portrays different Gematria-based numbers on the daily.
But this 33, it caught my attention.
Biden's 33% Approval rating.
And I do agree with you in the sense that I really want to know where...
matt infowars
They pulled these people from?
unidentified
Yeah, where are you getting...
Who are you asking?
Because I know people that are like Biden supporters that They're just not down with it.
They're not talking bad about Biden.
They're just talking about the gas.
matt infowars
Can we also take a second to talk about the implications of articles like this, right?
Biden's approval craters at 33%.
For most people reading the news, and I have to tell you, you know, before I took stats, I loved stats.
I was going to be a statistician.
unidentified
Me too. I had Mr.
Roberson. He looked like Jesus.
matt infowars
That's nice. Speaking of Jesus, it's Easter week.
unidentified
It is. It is Happy Good Friday to all those who believe in Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
matt infowars
Don't even think about calling in today, Satan.
unidentified
Have you heard the good news?
I have heard the good news. Have you heard the good news?
matt infowars
He has risen. For sure.
unidentified
That's from the Sopranos.
matt infowars
Go ahead. Good news. We're talking about this 33%, and we're talking about the manipulation in people's minds.
Because I think if you were to just purely look at the headline, Biden's approval craters at 33%.
And we're thinking like 33% of maybe the whole country, right?
And you would know if you took a stats class, or maybe you haven't taken a stats class yet, or maybe it's been a few years, that typically in order to make claims like this, you would hope that the amount of people polled, right, would be over 2,000.
What do they call that?
unidentified
What do they call that number?
matt infowars
Statistically significant.
It would mean that the study is statistically significant and you can extrapolate data from that.
But, and you know, we can go into this Quinnipiac poll.
I didn't just because, again, I am a skeptic, but I'm flipping through pages here.
We'll see if I get a...
I'm sure that you don't see a sample size in...
unidentified
Sample size, that's what it was.
matt infowars
Bingo. I'm sure we're not going to see a sample size here in this, nor whether or not it was a convenient sample, right?
Because if they polled these people based on, let's say, hey, you knew exactly who you were getting, you weren't just randomly calling people, or you weren't getting it through random selection.
That really does skew these things.
And when you have these skewed statistics, you can convince people who are maybe low information or not very well informed on some of these issues.
And even people who are well informed, they may take this and run with it.
And then when they're talking to other folks...
You know, let's say they're having a coffee at their local coffee shop and they're talking, you know, Sally's talking to Kelly and she's like, can you believe that 33% and maybe both of them severely disagree, but yet their opinions are kind of buffed by this.
You know what I mean? Well, maybe he's not doing so bad.
And, you know, maybe they get into the 68%, you know, think that...
We should be doing more. Like, who in their right minds thinks that we should be doing more?
I think that this is going to stall out into a war of attrition based on the fact that, you know, it wasn't just a snap, Victor.
unidentified
Can you elaborate on that more? Can you please elaborate on that more?
Because now you intrigued me.
matt infowars
Please. On 68% of Americans think that...
According to this article, 68% of Americans think that the United States has a moral responsibility to do more to stop Russian forces from killing civilians in Ukraine.
Now, how exactly would we go about that, right?
If you were to poll these people and say, hey, well, what do you think we should do, right?
What is really going to deter these people or deter the Russians, right?
And the thing is, the reason I say it's going to become a war of attrition, right, is that...
A lot of defense analysts that I have read have said that, you know, basically Russia would snap attack, take things over, and then it would become a liberation campaign.
We'll get more into it on the other side.
unidentified
American Journal.
One, the only.
One, the only.
matt infowars
PeopleWars.com.
Band.video. We were talking to Patty in Jersey about stats.
We were talking to him about what I think is going to happen in Ukraine in terms of war.
There are a couple different scenarios, right?
There's a scenario where Ukraine for Russia is going to be what Afghanistan was for Russia, what Syria was for America, what Afghanistan was for America.
These long, drawn-out wars, right, where the bigger country tries to occupy, tries to take these areas by force, and then because of cultural clashes and We're good to go.
It's a great question. So yeah, we were talking to Patty in Jersey about that.
And I want to go...
I'm sorry, Patty, to have you hold and to cut you off.
I was talking to some of the screeners about some of the other callers.
Now, we've got an urgent call from Simon in Florida.
I'm sorry, Patty. Thanks for calling in.
unidentified
That's all right. I just wanted to say, listen, season two starts a crypto war live tonight.
So all patriots out there, If you're not doing anything, 10 p.m.
Eastern, cryptowar.live.
This is for the people, by the people.
Beautiful people.
matt infowars
If you're interested in crypto, check out cryptowar.live and you'll be able to hear more from Patty.
Okay, we're going out to Simon in Florida.
Simon's got a bone to pick with me.
He's got serious news.
Simon in Florida. You're on the air.
simon-2 in florida
I think you are experiencing that it's rather different being in front of the camera rather than behind the camera.
matt infowars
It certainly is.
simon-2 in florida
Go ahead. I think there is some quite significant news that perhaps has been overlooked that does kind of tie in with the Ukraine situation.
Tell me. Three very, very quick things.
So the head of the German Trade Union Confederation, a man by the name of Reiner Hoffman, has given an interview and he said that Germany banning Russian energy imports will lead to a complete collapse of the supply chain.
And on a similar line, just yesterday, President Putin was at a A conference talking about doing development in the Russian part of the Arctic Circle.
And they've got a plan for a railway line to run basically from the west to the east, parallel to the Trans-Siberian Railroad, in order that they can increase their freight capacity.
And he actually said to all the companies that were there, he said, this is a direct instruction to government and private businesses.
I want this done now.
And then he clarified when he said now, because obviously you can't build a 5,000-kilometer railway like in one day.
Right. He said, and I mean this year, And they needed to understand that there was going to be a complete reorientation of Russian exports from the West, i.e.
Europe, to the East, i.e.
Asia. And that's quite significant because that's not just a six-month bat over Ukraine.
He was telling them, we need this massive, massive infrastructure project because we're looking at a long-term reorientation And then the same day it was announced in the country of Moldova,
which is this small country of like three million people in between Ukraine and Romania, that they've entered into agreements with Ukraine and Romania that all of the infrastructure in terms of highways and bridges are going to be upgraded.
And it looks to me like there's a realization in the European Union that Russia is going to hold the entire southern coast of Ukraine and basically turn the rump of Ukraine into a landlocked country that is still going to include all the agricultural areas.
And they have to figure out ways of actually getting all that agricultural goods to feed essentially Africa from the rump of Ukraine into the Black Sea.
They're talking about upgrading all the highways from Ukraine across Moldova.
There are lots of rivers and bridges that need to be built.
And then down to the port of Constantia, which is a huge, huge port.
matt infowars
So these aspirations.
simon-2 in florida
Like Long Beach, California.
matt infowars
These aspirations for infrastructure and exports.
These things are what are foretelling, right?
These motivations for the attack on Ukraine and the shakeup of the new world order or the world order as it stands.

I think it's a little bit different from that.
I don't necessarily think they were planned beforehand, but I think now that the outcome is looking increasingly like the permanent partition of Ukraine, that they're having to respond to what that's going to mean in terms of the ability to that they're having to respond to what that's going to mean in terms of the ability to get the massive amount of food that Ukraine
Because otherwise, the only two routes they've got are roads and railways into Slovakia and Poland, and that's no good for shipping stuff to Africa.
They need to go from the Black Sea through the Mediterranean and then through the Suez and stuff.
matt infowars
And as we can see...
simon-2 in florida
They're trying to find that workaround.
matt infowars
News as of a couple days ago on Zero Hedge talking about China's investments in Africa, right?
In that video that we played a couple of segments ago talking about the world island and You know, geopolitics worldwide, right?
They thought the World Island and, you know, Middle Eastern countries where they could get oil and other resources out of was a great lodestone, right, which they could pull from, right, for industrialization.
Now, China is 20 years ahead of America in terms of diplomatic and infrastructure ties with Africa, right?
So again, these exporters are going to dictate the rest of the industrialized world, a lot of the prices on the commodities that they're going to be able to have and manufacture with.
And that is going to be a fundamental area in which the world depends.
Is that what you're getting at?
simon-2 in florida
Well, a lot of that Chinese expansion into Africa and also into South and Central America is classic debt trap lending.
And we're seeing that play out in real time in Sri Lanka where they've run up absolutely enormous US dollar denominated debt to China in the last 10 years since the end of the Civil War there.
And it's like the loans to Indonesia It's just not producing any real income.
And so now they've got What's something like $7 billion of loans that are maturing this year?
And their foreign reserves are now less than $2 billion.
The entire country is now totally bankrupt.
They're not able to employ medicines.
They're having to rely upon the Indians to supply them with rice and fuel.
And the entire country is basically in a state of meltdown.
So we're seeing the same thing happening in Pakistan.
Their economy is doing terribly.
Did you have a chance at all to see any of Imran Khan's speech yesterday?
It was kind of in the afternoon American time, but he started speaking at midnight in Jalsa in Pakistan, and he gave it an absolutely incredible speech.
It's worth reviewing if you have time later on today.
It basically was a speech that many Americans believe The kind of speech that Donald Trump should have given when he was told that he had lost the elections.
And it was very, very, very powerful indeed.
matt infowars
Simon, stay right there.
unidentified
Simon, we're heading up against a break.
matt infowars
Stay right there. We're going to hear more from you on the other side about geopolitics and where the world's going.
Stay tuned.
It's the American Journal.
unidentified
We'll be right back.
All right.
Good morning.
This is the American Journal. Waking up with a little bit of a Wake Up America Patriot blend.
matt infowars
You can get it in the store for less than 20 bucks, like 17 bucks.
Well worth it. A lot of the people in the chat wanted to know if I was stoned this morning.
And no, fortunately I'm not.
Would you like to see what I'm like without coffee though?
Anyway, we were talking to Simon last segment about geopolitics.
He's talking to us a lot about Putin's aspirations for shipping and he's dictating or he wants to dictate the prices on a lot of commodities such as energy and he wants to get connected with the rest of the world and it's an attempt to shake up the world order as it is.
So, we're going back to Simon in Florida.
He's going to give us some news here, and I'd like to ask Simon, before we get back to him, what can people do, right?
Is your suggestion with some of this information that people get prepared, or what is it?
simon-2 in florida
Simon, you're on the air. I think that people need to be communicating with their elected representatives and paying very, very close attention To the primary, which are close upon us in many American states, a lot of things are being done by the American government in the name of the American citizenry, and I'm sure that a large portion of the American population don't necessarily agree with the steps that are being taken.
I mean, we've seen that with Biden shutting down the pipelines and massively driving up the Prices of American fuel that's affecting people's pocketbook every single day.
matt infowars
And we're tapping into strategic reserves right now as well.
simon-2 in florida
Well, the story that's gone uncovered on that is that a lot of the strategic reserves are actually heavily contaminated with sulfur.
They put them into a place called the Bryant Mound, which was an ex-sulfur mine.
And the remaining sulfur has got mixed up with the reserves there.
And in the past, when they've done releases, they've been 30 or 40 times the maximum allowable levels of hydrogen sulfide dissolved in the oil.
And the refineries not only haven't been able to process it, but it's actually damaged all of their equipment.
And so I think part of that is actually to have an excuse for dumping their contaminated stock and then actually replacing it.
Because if we really did need it in a war with Russia or China, and we had to turn it into tank fuel, If it was that heavily contaminated, it would be impossible to do in short order.
So I think there's a hidden story behind that.
But if we went back again to Pakistan, I mean, people can say, well, Pakistan, it's like a sand and it's like thousands of miles away.
It doesn't really affect America.
But that's another example of apparent American foreign policy being applied to a country that's five times the size of Ukraine and has nuclear weapons.
And if you look at one very short quote, one sentence from Imran Khan's speech that he gave yesterday, he said, the decisive moment has arrived and the nation needs to choose if it wants slavery or liberty.
Do we want to be slaves of the United States or do we want real freedom?
And then he went on to say, everyone should know that this is not the Pakistan of the 1970s, when the United States conspired to remove Zuthika Ali Bhutto, who was the previous president there.
This is not the same Pakistan.
Pakistan of today has social media.
The country has 60 million mobile phones.
All our youth now have a voice, and no one can zip their mouth.
matt infowars
Very interesting, because that is a huge cultural shift, right?
It's one of the other aspects of America in Afghanistan, right?
America was trying to, again, I read and or listen to Annie Jacobson frequently, and one of her more recent books was First Platoon.
And in, you know, the first third of the book, she does talk about the extreme cultural differences between America and Afghanistan and why that ultimately doomed the superficial mission, right?
The noble motive for why we went to war, right, in Afghanistan.
And This is perhaps what you're talking about, this new connected Pakistan that is industrialized and is starting to turn, you know, nationalized.
They're hitting a bent of nationalism, right?
Why that also can disrupt the world order or global trade.
simon-2 in florida
Well, it's very, very significant with global trade.
You're correct in that regard, because China is trying to have what's called the CPEC, which is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
They want to basically have a highway and a rail line running all the way through Pakistan and extending into Afghanistan.
And China is very, very much focused on the trillions of dollars of rare earth minerals.
They want to be able to access in Afghanistan.
And so America seemed to be focused on running an oil pipeline through that initially through Afghanistan, which is when you look at where the forward operating bases were all located.
It was exactly along the line of the intended pipeline for Afghanistan.
So they basically positioned all their force so that it was possible to guard the construction of that pipeline.
But they rather overlooked, and maybe they were only surveyed later on during their 20-year occupation of the country, the massive amounts of rare earth minerals, particularly in the north of the country, And one of the first things China did was when they flew in is they got an agreement to reactivate an old copper mine there.
But they're also looking at the lithium, which is necessary for kind of like electric vehicle batteries.
Of course, yeah. And that's one of the big things that hasn't really come out at all in Ukraine.
Ukraine has two...
One that is in the west of the country, and one, believe it or not, that is in the western part of the state of Donetsk that is currently being defended by the Ukrainian armed forces.
And by my estimate, that one potential mine there is worth over $100 billion And the total lithium that's estimated to be mineable in Ukraine is worth half a trillion US dollars.
And that's part of what's going on there.
They've known that those reserves have been there since the 1980s when they were surveyed by the Soviets.
But they've recently updated those estimates and the estimates went up tenfold.
And one of the people Who is involved in that project and has been trying to actually get permission to start commercially developing those two sites is Kolomoisky, who is joint Ukrainian and Cypriot, and he was the biggest financial backer of the current Ukrainian president.
So I think that the whole push to put Zelensky in place By Igor Kolomoisky was a play to be able to develop those lithium mines.
Because even when lithium was a tenth of its current price, as it was a couple of years ago, that was still $50 billion.
So you back a politician for, say, $10 or $20 million, and then you get $50 billion.
That's a pretty good return on your investment.
matt infowars
Sounds like it. All right, we are running up against a break.
I am so glad that Simon called in from Florida because all this economic and geopolitical news has been really intriguing.
And it is very insightful as to the motivations behind a lot of the plays that are happening on the world stage.
Simon, stay on the line.
Simon, you need to call in more regularly.
We need to start doing this thing.
We had Clown Car call in yesterday from New York.
He was able to give us the lowdown on the shooter.
But Simon, we need to line you up to come on more frequently rather than having you wait on the line.
We're going to more calls on the other side.
Some more of you folks. So stay on the line.
Simon, very insightful stuff.
Thanks for calling us.
See you in a sec.
unidentified
Do you like the boogie?
I do.
matt infowars
This is the American Journal on Infowars.com and Bandai Video.
So grateful for all of our callers.
There are so many days we don't get to all of our calls, and it is a shame.
But I'm doing my best to go out to the rest of your calls.
I think I told you guys earlier in the day that we were going to be playing a video from Alex that is on the headline section.
What do you call that? The top bar?
The top ribbon? It's a carousel.
That's the word. The top of band.video.
We're not going to go to that video.
I sent the crew on a fool's errand to censor it or a wild goose chase, I guess.
I'd rather go out to your calls because we got great callers this morning.
We are going to be going out to Eric in Florida.
He wants to talk about where everything is going.
Eric in Florida, you've been holding for a little while.
You are on the air, Eric.
unidentified
Oh, hi. Yeah, can you hear me?
Yeah, sure can. Okay, fantastic.
Yeah, I don't mind Simon, even though I know he's not from Florida like me.
What gave away? Yeah, honorary Floridian.
The thing I wanted to talk about is, what do you think about the idea, you know how in Nazi Germany, fascism was kind of the answer to communism, right?
matt infowars
Okay, you're talking about corporations working with the state.
unidentified
Yes, right.
And how the fascists arose and arise to the communists.
matt infowars
Yeah, it was almost like a response.
Although, you know, Italy was known for fascism.
Germany was known for Nazism.
unidentified
Right. But, you know, I think you and I can both agree that we're sort of dealing with the Fourth Reich here.
You know what I mean? The way that...
Where these people originate from, you know, the Soros and the Nazi connections in the background of the Schwabs and a lot of...
All these people.
Anyway, where I'm going with that is I think that maybe...
What we're seeing is we have this red wave coming, right?
And what a lot of people fear is that the right wing becomes very vicious after they've been poked in the head for, you know, six years straight.
Yeah. And that the viciousness of that is actually the plan.
matt infowars
You know, that is a great point.
And I actually, this is one of my firm beliefs.
Eric, you really did touch on a really great point there when you talk about provoking, right?
When you talk about things that were going down between 2016 and 2020, I oftentimes comment on a lot of the violence that was really popular.
It was popularized.
You saw all these, whether it was a Trump march or whatever it was, We're Antifa attacks and then you got Proud Boys defending or whatever group it was, right?
You had that guy based stick man, right?
If you guys remember that guy who like straight up like had a bunch of stuff from sporting goods stores and he like went out with a stick.
Yeah. And so, yeah, yeah, he went out with a stick.
And if you look at that, right, do you think that a lot of that marching in the street was the response to perhaps getting banned off Twitter, right?
You know, you had a lot of conservatives who, you know, weren't able to communicate publicly with people about their support for the president or their views.
They were being shadow banned.
It was obvious, you know, some accounts were terminated.
And so what do you do? You go and participate in events in real life, right?
And then you add in the secret spice of agitators, right?
And you've got the perfect recipe for something bad to happen, right?
Everybody understands mob mentality.
Everybody understands how easily it is for things to get out of control when you add things.
Just, you know, a tinge of violence to the mix.
And so that also was very reminiscent of Nazi Germany, right?
Like you're saying. Yeah.
You had communists fighting brown...
Yeah, you had people fighting people in Nazi Germany over their political views.
So, Eric, stay there.
We're going to have you elaborate a little bit more on the other side.
Darn these breaks, right?
The heck are they good for?
unidentified
You're watching the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch live right now at band.video.
Tis I, Matt Weber.
matt infowars
Not Harrison. I'm filling in for Harrison.
Harrison will be back in the near future.
Harrison is doing well.
He is in good health.
He's with the family.
He's locking it down, keeping it real, doing wholesome things.
So he's got some well-deserved time off.
Guys, Easter weekend is upon us, so...
He will be getting together with his family and doing all that stuff.
Really appreciate him and everything he does for the show.
He's a great info warrior.
And we'll be glad to have him back when he is back.
In the meantime, I will be taking calls.
And we were talking to Eric in Florida.
We were talking about...
The next election and kind of being goaded into, you know, right-wing extremism, how the left is excellent at manipulating people and things like that.
So, Eric, I'll ask you to kind of continue on your thoughts and elaborate, but also what you think people should do, InfoWarriors should do, to kind of raise awareness of this and to help us find a middle ground.
What are your suggestions?
unidentified
Okay. Well, to elaborate, basically, I think, you know, it's hard for me to think that anything that happens anymore is on accident.
Not necessarily anything, but in terms of the politics, it's very well thought out.
matt infowars
There are definitely contingency plans, like you're saying.
Oh, yeah. Exactly. Whether, you know, it was plan A or plan B, I'm sure it's definitely all war-gamed.
unidentified
Yeah, and what...
With all the crazy stuff that they're doing, it seems like they're intentionally pushing away left-wing voters.
I've heard people in interviews on the World Economic Forum saying, we don't care which side of the aisle we have to perpetuate this from.
I've heard them say that.
Munger, I think, said that, that he doesn't care if it's the right wing or the left wing, how they push this agenda.
So the woke stuff is actually pushing away voters, and they know it.
And there's people retiring.
It makes me think that now they're going to let the right wing do its thing.
And where people accept authority a lot more within the right wing, it seems as if they'll push for this to be a more violent It's like kind of purging of the woke in, you know, over-caring society.
matt infowars
So by orchestrating these cultural shifts, they're able to lean into it and get the desired outcome from the left-right march of tyranny.
I believe that's what it's called. That's one of...
What is it? What is that guy, the illustrator?
Garrison. Ben Garrison.
It's one of his more famous cartoons.
And I think that that also, speaking of waking up, you know, I've played a couple videos today that I thought were really instrumental in waking up.
And I'm sure the crew is able to pull this up in no time.
I put them on the spot all the time.
There's this depiction of a pyramid and it has two legs and it's wearing pants that are left and right.
And underneath the boot of the foot that is on the ground, you know, there's a voter who's saying, next time I'll vote the other way.
And that's exactly what you're talking about.
There is a larger agenda that both parties are marching towards and...
A lot of people who don't understand this false left-right dichotomy are falling victim to it.
We're talking about an article that I spoke earlier about, these approval polls and how they manipulate people, but also how people are manipulated into pulling the lever for a right or left candidate.
Based on perhaps one issue, right?
That they agree with. And therefore, you know, they kind of forgive some of the other stances a candidate they vote for has on topics that they don't agree with.
And it's about the viability, right?
This perception, the perception manipulation of the public with these polls, with, you know, talking inherently about a third party candidate that Right.
Right. Some other thing that's not viable, yeah. Right, right. I can't tell you how many conversations I've had with people who, you know, I try to say, hey, you know, I think about this candidate this, and I think that they'd be a good choice.
And they say, oh, yeah, that's very idealistic of you, you know.
And I would say, well, you know, maybe it's not just idealistic, right?
Maybe if you vote for this person, it helps their party get on the ballot next time around, right?
Things can start to snowball.
Yeah. And perhaps tomorrow, if I do end up hosting again tomorrow, things are a little bit in flux.
If I end up hosting tomorrow, I'll read a little bit of propaganda.
Some of the first 10 pages of that book are pretty illuminating as to how social engineering occurs and about the minds.
It was Edward Bernays who wrote that one.
Yeah. He was very keen as to the psychology of consumers.
And again, we are all consumers.
We're consuming news.
We're consuming information.
But I'll let you get any final thoughts you have here, Eric.
unidentified
I've been kind of... The only thing I'm saying is that I remember you did a...
No, no, you definitely eliminated what I was saying.
And... Basically, I would say is when eventually there will be protests coming up to these elections, there will be rallies and things like that where we do have to look out for false flags and things happening.
I don't believe everybody has been radicalized, but I think people could be pushed in that direction.
Just get a group of people together and look out for these things to try to stop things that are escalating because that's where things get out of hand.
People were so confused on January 6th.
They got pushed into a situation that just kind of snowballed out of control.
Don't let yourself be the victim.
Don't be a victim. And that's all I got to say.
matt infowars
Eric, thank you for those wise words of wisdom.
Thank you for, you know, again, trying to advocate for sanity in an insane world.
We're going to be going to Harlan in Texas.
Harlan, got a couple minutes before the break.
You want to talk about how Trump will bring us towards World War III based on recent statements.
Harlan, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hey, Matt. Hey, how you doing?
How you doing? Doing a great job.
Thanks, man. Yeah, I think it's a perfect segue with the last caller talking about sort of these pendulum swings and how the wokeness is sort of set up sort of pendulum swing to the right.
I think, you know, you were talking about the polling earlier and something also included in that polling was that 93% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Russia leaving 7% with a favorable view of Russia.
That means including a lot of the InfoWars audience has an unfavorable view of Russia.
These polling numbers matter because they suggest what politics will then follow.
And when we have Trump leading in all the polls, as far as any primary, going on Hannity last night saying, Russia is committing a genocide.
He's spoken before about how, you know, Biden is impotent to confront Putin.
You know, you can kind of start seeing the dots being detected and how that translates to the American right being suckered in to a war again.
And the only people that can really stop this is the American right.
Because of the military connections with the families, with tradition, and you...
But what I'm saying is, like, basically, the American right needs...
matt infowars
To pick the right candidate.
unidentified
Well, they actually need to decide here.
Putin is good.
What he's doing is defending his country.
And we can't be neutral anymore.
You actually have to pick a side here and say his demands are reasonable.
Water to Crimea.
Donbass, you know, primarily Russian-speaking people.
Like, the American right needs to actually move away from being neutral in this situation and being pro-Russia here.
This is the only thing that's going to stop it.
Because Trump is leading in all the polls.
He's going to dominate.
And look what he did last time.
You know, he hired nothing but neocons.
Billy, Bolton, all of these guys will be back in there.
matt infowars
You're definitely not wrong about that point.
Harlan, thanks for giving us a call.
I'll give you a couple of my thoughts on the other side.
Where are all my bass players out there?
Pitch Against the Machine has some of the best bass lines.
Pat Weber filling in for Harrison Smith here on the American Journal.
I'm talking to InfoWarriors.
And before I go right back out to calls, I was talking to Harlan in Texas, as well as Eric in Florida.
And one of the things that came to my mind right when I was off air during break, I'm thinking about solutions.
And one of the biggest solutions I've got for you is to get involved, right, with other people and that means having conversations with like-minded folks and even people who aren't like-minded and trying to remain reasonable with them and try to convince them that perhaps there is a point of view that is not uttered on mainstream media.
It's not pervasive in mainstream thought.
Right? One of the best ways that you can meet like-minded people is by wearing some InfowarStore.com gear.
That gear is on sale right now.
It is all limited edition as of like a couple weeks ago.
So, what that means is that for $12.95...
You can get an awesome shirt, one of your preference.
It's going to help you meet some folks.
For $8.75, you can get one of these killer caps that I am donning right now.
I know you're jealous. I was jealous of the, well, jealous of the store.
It's an awesome hat. Fits well.
Looks great. Great quality materials.
You really cannot beat these deals.
It helps us stay on air.
And it helps you, you know, have these conversations with other people.
With that being the case, we're talking to Harlan in Texas.
We left off...
Where did we leave off, Harlan?
We were talking about people.
I started thinking... About doing what makes you feel uncomfortable, right?
It makes me feel uncomfortable to get in front of the cameras.
I'm a behind-the-camera type guy.
But, you know, sometimes you have to look at things and say, hey, listen, this is going to make me feel uncomfortable and good because it's going to help me grow, right?
And part of that, right, having conversations with other patriots about this stuff.
Oh, I remember where we left off.
We left off about being pro-Russia.
Now, here are my thoughts on this.
Here are my thoughts on this. I think that you can be pro-America, right?
I think that that's a great solution.
And trying to talk to people about these, you know, issues of corruption in Ukraine, right?
Without necessarily being super pro-Russia.
I think that Russia has its own set of flaws.
And I think that if you are going to look at it critically, right?
This is an act of aggression, right?
To move into another sovereign state.
And I understand that Ukraine was once part of Russia.
There are many cultural foundational aspects that both Ukraine and Russia share.
They don't share a language.
Many people in Ukraine speak Russian and Ukrainian, or they speak another language.
But there are their own set of cultural differences.
I think that hostile acts like this, right?
It's not right when America...
If we are going to speak out about America getting involved in other countries, we also have to look at Russia getting involved in other countries, right?
There are ways to go about things.
And I think the best way, right, if you're advocating for peace, is to...
Is to advocate for things to happen diplomatically and on a trade level.
I think those are the most persuasive ways of gaining power and influence on the world stage.
China's done it, right?
Gerald Salente once came on and he had this really profound statement.
He said, the business of the United States is war.
The business of China is business.
And look at where it's gotten China.
They've rapidly industrialized and become a global superpower.
Now, it's definitely with the blessing of the elite at the top of the new world order, the people who attend these world summits, people who are so rich they want to stay out of the news.
But you were talking about being pro-Russia, and Harlan, I want you to, I guess, elaborate a little bit more on that statement about what you've been about pro-Russia.
unidentified
Well, I don't want to come off as an apologist for Russia.
matt infowars
Sure, no. I totally get that.
unidentified
But I think you can look at it as a way that American conservative tradition and, frankly, people that believe in world peace can see a strategic angle here where a Russia that actually is successful in Ukraine will create a parallelism In the world that we haven't seen, right? Like, Russia's not, you know, kicking Alex Jones off Twitter.
Russia's not kicking Infowars off YouTube.
Like, parallel institutions.
matt infowars
Sure, but they do have their own issues with censorship.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure. But it aids, you know, our point of view to have an Anglo-American defeat, an Anglo-American establishment defeat.
That's what this would be.
This would be a panting of the global elite that have run world affairs.
You're playing some of these great documentaries.
These are all conducted by the same legacy families, same institutional powers that have conducted world affairs for my lifetime, my parents' lifetime.
matt infowars
At least five generations that we can track very well if you take a generation of 25 years.
unidentified
It goes back to the kindergarten groups, the Rose groups, and all of that.
They still have their hands on the leverage of power.
And this would be, for the first time, a true defeat of their extension of power.
So That's what I mean by...
matt infowars
To your point, yes. To your point, I would say that the strategic interests of Russia are definitely not in line.
They're not parallel to the strategic interests of these rich families who do control the world order and who are currently manipulating American politics and American culture right now.
I would wholeheartedly agree with you there.
unidentified
And we should support that effort then.
matt infowars
Yeah, well, so thank you for your call, Harlan, and I do appreciate your viewpoint on things.
I'm glad to have had this conversation with you.
It did bring up something, and again, this is not...
This is not going to be a total solution, but hopefully it can help orient people's thinking in the right direction.
While I was in the San Jose area, I told callers earlier, I went to this Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum and there is a peace garden.
In the Egyptian Museum.
And there's a plaque there.
Contribution to peace.
And I think it's important to state, you know, especially in Easter week here.
Oh, dude. Are you guys...
Did you get that? Where did you get that?
Oh, you guys are so good.
Did you look at my phone first?
Are you guys cheating? Oh, nice.
Okay. What else did you see?
Anyway, let's read the contribution to peace.
I contribute to peace when I strive to express the best of myself and I contribute to peace when I look upon all men and women as my brothers and sisters, regardless of race, culture, or religion.
I contribute to peace when I rejoice over the happiness of others and pray for their well-being.
I contribute to peace when I listen with tolerance to the opinions that differ from mine or even oppose them.
There's much more to this, but these are great foundational aspects, right?
Matt Weber filling in for Harrison Smith here on the American Journal.
We're going out to your calls. Before we do, I'd be remiss if I didn't talk to you guys for a brief second about Elon Musk.
Elon Musk, you guys haven't already heard.
He's making moves.
He's always making moves.
He made a $43 billion unsolicited bid to take Twitter private.
And one of the bigger questions that Paul Joseph Watson on Infowars.com has asked, will prominent banned public figures return if Elon buys Twitter?
Earlier this week, you know, Elon Musk caused some stirs by saying half of Twitter's presence is bots.
I wholeheartedly agree with that.
That's one of the reasons why I don't really engage on Twitter or a lot of other.
There are some great things about things like Twitter and Reddit where there are some downsides, right?
You got to take the good with the bad, unfortunately.
One of the most interesting things about disclosure on Twitter and Reddit, especially from accounts that are roughly anonymous, right, is that you can hear opinions from real people that they might not express in real life.
That's a very interesting concept to me.
However, however, there is definitely an inverse relationship with both Behavior and anonymity, right?
As you become more anonymous, you are more likely to do bad things.
That's why people who commit crimes wear masks.
I guess you could say it's very, very common.
And I've always thought, you know, when I'm arguing with people who I don't know over nothing important, I'm wasting minutes of my life.
You know, is this person I'm engaging with a bot?
Is a robot influencing how I think about things?
Right? These are very interesting things.
What we do know is that Alex Jones is a real figure who was taken off of Twitter for expressing his opinions.
Right? He was a prominent figure.
There are many other prominent figures who we know to be real, who are not anonymous, who are taken off this platform.
And so, Paul speculates...
It says Elon's offer to buy 100% of Twitter has prompted fresh speculation as to whether prominent banned public figures like Donald Trump and Alex Jones will be allowed back on the platform.
After Musk became Twitter's largest individual shareholder earlier this month, the company was quick to issue public statement asserting that their censorship policies won't be changing.
This served as a clear indication that the likes of Trump and Jones, along with innumerable other victims of the censorship wave that characterized the 2018 onwards, wouldn't be returning to the platform.
So, at Miss Blair White says on Twitter, can Elon Musk hurry up and unban Alex Jones?
Nature needs healing.
If Elon brings Trump and Alex Jones back, his investment in Twitter might be tenfold overnight.
Other people, Burt Sampson says, do you think Elon Musk should bring Donald Trump, Louis Farrakhan, and Alex Jones back to Twitter in order to begin restoring free speech?
Right? It's one of those great old questions, right?
Twitter definitely has a grasp on the mind of the public, right?
Is it worth $43 billion?
I was talking to Dan, one of our great producers and directors this morning, said $43 billion?
It's a lot of billions.
That's even more millions.
Is Twitter really worth all that?
A lot of people are starting to abandon Twitter to go to other platforms.
Now, have those other platforms been as successful?
No, not nearly.
But do they have as many bots?
I don't know, right?
So it just, you know, when it comes to...
Perception manipulation, Twitter is fantastic.
And when you look at the investors in Twitter, when you looked at once Elon Musk gained 9% or whatever the case was, shares of Twitter, you looked at the other investors on that list.
You saw BlackRock, Vanguard, these companies that were in Monopoly, who owns the world yesterday, right?
You would understand that why Twitter is so important to them, right?
It's A mine of data, right?
Plus you have the upside of being able to manipulate the people who, you know, manipulate or silence the people who are dissonance, right?
So for those people, yeah, it's very important.
Elon Musk is definitely a media, I guess you could call him a sensation.
He definitely understands the power of media, the soft power of media, right?
What's the guy's name?
Pchenek. Pchenek, frequent guest of InfoWars.
You know, he is a very insightful guy.
He's human. He's been right.
He's been wrong about things.
Love him. Always interested to hear from him.
But he once said, and very wisely so, that soft power is, you know, the most important power, right?
unidentified
The war of words, right, is...
matt infowars
It's everything. It's everything.
And maybe I'll have a little bit more to say about that here in a bit.
Time will tell. Time will tell if prominent figures return if Elon Musk buys Twitter.
Part of me thinks Elon's just putting it out there, putting his feelers out there.
He tends to say a lot, and then, you know, he takes a hard left turn, you know, from what people expect of him.
He's definitely a very difficult person to predict.
He's an independent person.
And, you know, I'm very neutral on Elon.
I think, you know, he's got a lot of good things that I like, but a lot of other things that I'm very weary of and cautious of.
But definitely a very smart dude.
So definitely respect him.
Going out to the calls here.
We're going to be going out to Sean in California.
Oh, he's sitting in California traffic jams, huh?
So, Sean, if you're still in your car, you're on the air.
sean in california
Well, thank you, Matt. I'm actually at home at this point.
Made it through the intersection just fine.
Thank you. Right on. And great callers.
Great, great callers this morning.
Of course. Hey, I'm going to set a little bit of a stage and come back to a point here.
Sure. Do you recall, since you referenced Monopoly yesterday, and I actually watched that when you broadcast that, do you recall when, between Barack Obama and Congress, They managed to get the United States credit rating tanked from AAA down to AA. Yes, I do. That was closer towards the end of his presidency.
Yeah, and that was one of the bad things that left a scar in our country.
What I wanted to do is I'm always trying to bring you guys different little things that can help you along here.
stuff I've learned from national-assembly.net.
I'm sharing it with you.
If you guys want to use the free credit search bar at DunnandBradstreetbnb.com, you can look up Burisma.
And this is what I found diving on it.
I'm not going to spend money.
I don't think guys need to spend money until some deep diver wants to, you know, get a private investigator involved, stuff like that, to look at more criminal stuff.
But with Burisma, you will find that there are seven locations of Burisma on the planet, some very choice locations.
But the only American location as an LLC with only four people listed on it is not in Delaware.
It's right outside Chicago in Elmhurst, a town that sits on county lines, which means there might be jurisdiction issues.
matt infowars
I used to drive on 55 all the time, so I'm familiar with Elmhurst.
sean in california
Yes, upscale, affluent community.
And I keep thinking to myself, well, if Burisma is only going to have one American location and working with the Bidens, why aren't they in Delaware?
And then I thought to myself, wait, who do you know in Chicago that deals with that sort of family?
unidentified
Just saying. You're talking about Barack Obama.
sean in california
Or the one who had all the blackmail on Joe.
This is a warning for everyone on social media right now.
You brought up Twitter. I'm making the rounds on Telegram and elsewhere.
There is what looks to be a deepfake of Joe Biden and a young woman.
matt infowars
Wait, were you talking about Jack Maxey?
sean in california
No, I'm not referring to him, but there is a deepfake video, or maybe it's not a deepfake.
It could be possible CP, so make sure people out there in your listening audience know not to be clicking on that stuff, because in the feds, You can turn around and claim we have it on our computer, you know?
matt infowars
Right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah, we're leaving that to the professionals for right now.
sean in california
Indeed. And on the practical side of things, hey, we find out who's at that Burisma location in Elmhurst.
Those four people, it's an LLC, which means it's built to be collapsed overnight if they got to book it out of town.
Yeah. So I'm thinking, well, someone with, you know, the investigative skills might go sniffing around, might not.
Maybe we can find out... You know, get even more to the bottom of all the obvious Biden family crime and chaos.
matt infowars
Interesting, Sean. Interesting.
sean in california
Yeah, and here's a follow-up with that.
unidentified
You can also use that.
matt infowars
We got a few more calls to go through here.
I'm going to try to hit everyone.
So we're going to have about two, two and a half minutes of call.
I do apologize to you guys.
I will be filling in tomorrow as well.
So we'll have plenty of more time for calls.
But I'll let you know right now, we're going to be talking to Sean.
Tim, Chris, and Clown Car.
So if you haven't been screened yet, just know that we're probably not going to be able to get to your call today.
Sean, let's wrap up a little bit of what we were talking about last segment.
You were just about to move on to another point here.
sean in california
Yeah, I'm trying to just get information rapid-fire style.
Simon was really good, but he took up some of your minutes, so I'm hitting you with stuff that's on point.
Our friend Stu Peters, He has been SWAT teamed last night.
So somebody SWAT teamed the wrong guy.
We know Stu's good at investigating stuff.
They're going to find themselves in some trouble, I think.
And again, going back to the credit rating of the U.S., you can also find that on the Dun& Bradstreet search engine.
United States of America. You'll have to go in a few clicks past the embassies.
But the embassies and United States of America are a business, which means we have a two-tier system.
People got to look at global world governance, as Alex says, as a business.
This is why the corruption is so high.
They're not concerned about justice.
They're concerned about profit, which means pipelines, oil reserves, mineral rights, all of that stuff.
So it kind of goes full circle to what your callers have been talking about today.
So I'll go ahead and let you have the final word, of course.
matt infowars
Well, thanks, Sean. I think I can actually leave it there.
Guys, again, you can check this show out after the show to go back into any of the stuff that Sean was talking about, some of the resources he was talking about.
If you want to investigate on the internet, look into these things a little more.
It's very intriguing stuff.
So thank you, Sean.
And we're going to Tim in Seattle.
He wants to give a shout out to Watch the Water documentary.
I think people can probably find this on like Forbidden TV or something like that, right?
Hello? Hey, Tim in Seattle.
I know you've been holding for a while.
It's Matt on the American Journal.
unidentified
Yeah, hi. I don't have any time at all, but I just want everybody to watch the water, find out for themselves and what's going on.
matt infowars
Cool. Tell me really quick, what's a brief synopsis?
Tell me on it. I love docs.
unidentified
I don't have time.
I've got to go to work. I had time earlier.
Sorry, man. Everybody needs to watch the water in order for them to find out what's going on.
Please proceed to get loud and get angry and get very Much aggressive in the streets because they're not going to stop.
That's all I have to say.
matt infowars
Legally and lawfully. Tim, thanks for giving us a call and thanks for tuning in.
We will watch the water documentary.
Thanks, man. We are going to Chris in Michigan.
He wants to talk about propaganda.
It's one of my favorite topics.
It was into communications.
So, Chris in Michigan, you are our last caller that I think we're going to get to.
unidentified
Hello. Hey, how you doing?
I think the point of why this propaganda isn't for us.
It's for the normies who can't see through it.
We look at the news and we just see, oh, psyop, propaganda, false flag.
We just see right through it.
So it's not meant for us.
It's meant to manipulate the people who have no idea what's going on.
And I actually think some of that propaganda is to turn them against us.
Like the Brooklyn shooter, we start going around and it's like, oh yeah, he was a black supremacist to normies who haven't heard any of that.
We're going to sound like racists.
I was like, were you racist? You don't like black people?
What's a black supremacist?
I've never heard of that. That's a fake thing.
I think we have to look at it from a point of view where, yeah, we see right through it.
We've got to look at it with our friends and family who don't see it.
And that's just kind of my point on it, is that they stop trying to propagandize us.
They've given up. They know it's impossible.
Even if we fall for it at first, we eventually see it for what it is.
There was a thing on Facebook last night, your earliest news memory, and I put in the Gulf War, where I actually thought we were at war with Mexico, because that was the only Gulf I was aware of.
And even at seven years old, I couldn't grasp the concept.
Wait, why would we go to war with the country on the other side of the planet?
That makes no sense to me.
Shouldn't we just fight people around us?
But... You know, just one of those things where it's like looking back at it, I can see right through it, but as a little kid, I'm just hearing news.
It's like, yeah, we're at war for, I don't know why, but we're at war.
Or 9-11. I remember I didn't fall for that first thing because I was at my grandparents.
My grandpa was in the Air Force for 30 years.
And as soon as he seen that plane in Pennsylvania, he's like, oh, that guy shot down.
Well, we shot one of them down.
He started clapping. And then when the news came out that the people overtook the plane, my grandpa was like, oh, that's bull.
That is such garbage.
I see how little of that plane is there.
That guy shot down.
And... I remember having to keep my mouth shut for a long time about my doubts of 9-11 because everybody just got drilled up into such patriotism as like, oh, what, are you a terrorist?
matt infowars
Right. People weren't just told, you know, what...
Happened in the event. They were told what to think about it, right?
Exactly. By, again, watching reactions of people in the media, right?
Like, when you watch someone who scorns and, you know, totally rips into conspiracy theorists, right?
It teaches people who are unaware of this, right, to react the same way when they encounter someone in real life, right?
Almost like, again, I hate to say it cliche, but monkey see, monkey do.
Well, you know... That it is very true.
Now, Chris, what you talked about about being kind of immune to this propaganda, I would have to caution you, right?
Because there are a lot of high-level studies in media that, again, one of them that I've talked about before by George Gerbner, this mean world syndrome, right, that occurs.
And Before we rehash that, there's another study that is basically about consumers of media who work in the media, right?
People who are classified as heavy consumers of news.
And they unfortunately think that the news that they're consuming because they are approaching it from, I guess, a higher perspective in their minds, that the news isn't as effective on them as they would think. that the news isn't as effective on them as they But studies have shown that consuming information like that, right, still does have an effect on us, right?
You can still be woken up, but perhaps fall prey to, you know, some of these traps like false dichotomies, right?
Those are definitely very present and it's easy to try to take sides, right, in a narrative, right?
So there's that. But there's also, you know, again, I would caution even InfoWarriors out there to look into this effect of mean world syndrome and really take a step back and look at what you are consuming in terms of media, right, whether it's just InfoWarriors.
I love InfoWars for all of our perspectives, but again, right, if you're going to be a healthy consumer of news, you're going to want to take a step back every once in a while and consume news from other places as well, right?
Compare, contrast, viewpoints.
It's very important, especially if you consume, right?
There we go. We know he's probably a closeted InfoWars supporter.
He's probably one of those trolls in the chat, Brian Stelter.
Stelten out. But, you know, this mean world syndrome.
If you're the type of person who consumes just one full show on Infowars every day, you are very close to being considered a heavy consumer of news.
And you need to take a look back at how you think that influences your worldview, right?
We frequently talk about some of these topics, right?
About trans... I think?
I did have to let people know, hey, listen, trans people are people too, right?
You know, treat them with respect, right?
They're sentient beings.
So, you know, there are a lot of things that, you know, when you consume a lot of news, right, you're more apt to think the world is one way or another.
And, you know, perhaps disengaging, you know, and talking to people in the real world is the solution.
It helps a lot, especially when you get to have a good conversation with someone and you realize, wow, people are much more reasonable than I would think they are based on everything that I've seen in the news and all the stuff that's going around on libs of TikTok.
Libs of TikTok, my lord, if you just consume libs of TikTok...
That would be Loco, my guy.
So Chris from Michigan, thanks for giving us a call in.
I'm going to give a quick shout out to InfoWarsStore.com.
It's a great place to get some of the gear that you can wear to provoke some of these conversations.
