The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA Act, was established in 1978
after violations of the Nixon administration forced the hand of Congress to seek judicial and congressional oversight with a secret court of seven Article III district judges unhindered by checks and balances to oversee the escalating abuse of surveillance by the federal government.
unidentified
As you know, we ourselves do not need to hold any visible office of leadership.
jon bowne
We control everything. 45 years later, the Fourth Amendment violating FISA rubber stamp monstrosity that approves 99.7% of warrant requests has become far worse than what it was intended to prevent.
unidentified
It's not what we usually think of when we think of a court.
We think of a place where we can go, we can watch, the lawyers argue, and it's subject to the glare of publicity.
But the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court is anything but public.
It's here, somewhere, inside this sprawling federal court complex off of Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C. That's right, this is a court so secret, we don't even know exactly where it convenes inside the building.
jon bowne
Following 9-11, the Trojan Horse Patriot Act expanded the FISA court's authority.
Section 215 eliminated restrictions on the surveillance of businesses and lowered the burden of proof in order to confiscate records previously protected by the Fourth Amendment.
Craving deeper control the Bush administration stellar wind program secretly authorized the NSA to monitor without a warrant all Communications involving any party believed by the NSA to be outside the United States Even if the other end of communication was within the United States after 9-11 They took one of the programs I had done,
unidentified
or the back-end part of it, and started to use it to spy on everybody in this country.
So that was a program they created called Stellar Wind.
That was the separate and compartmented from the regular activity that was ongoing because it was doing domestic spying.
All the equipment was coming in.
I knew something was happening, but then when the contractors I had hired came and told me what they were doing, it was clear where all the hardware was going and what they were using it to do.
I realized the U.S. government had stopped caring After a congressional mutiny, oversight was returned to the FISA court.
jon bowne
However, the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 enacted Section 702, loosening FISA court oversight and increased From 48 hours to 7 days, the length of time American online communications with those living abroad could be surveilled without a FISA court warrant.
This eventually led to Congress passing the USA Freedom Act that provided a 180-day sunset provision before eliminating 215 of the Patriot Act.
And now in 2023, snubbing their noses.
At the constitutional rights of American citizens, and after months of moving the goalposts, Congress passed the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act containing the reward to the FBI with more communist-style control.
matt gaetz
278,000 violations of the existing law as the FBI has queried information regarding Americans.
When the Obama-appointed inspector general was reviewing whether or not the administration was complying with existing law, they found out we were breaking the law 38 times an hour to extend the authorities for spying that were being violated so that people at the FBI could do queries on their neighbors, their co-workers, their ex-lovers.
That does not belong in the National Defense Authorization Act.
jon bowne
And what does surveilling Americans communicating with foreigners Folks, that is the latest from John Bowne.
harrison smith
You can find and share it at ban.video.
End anti-American FISA and restore the Fourth Amendment.
We'll be right back with your Daily Dispatch.
unidentified
Don't go anywhere. It's Tuesday, December 19th, year of our Lord, 2023.
And... You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
harrison smith
Welcome to The American Journal.
Boy, do we have a lot to talk about today.
Massive immigration news.
Videos out of Eagle Pass that will shock and astonish you.
Talk a little bit more about Israel and the ongoing conflict over the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, Yemeni Houthis, and the prospect of war as being the least desirable but almost inevitable consequence of what's going on in the Middle East right now, a wider spread of Perhaps even worldwide war.
We'll get into that.
Talking about the prospects of America in that war with a military that is simultaneously devoid of recruits and replete with anti-American Gen Z scumbags.
I don't know how else to say it.
So we have a lot of news to get to.
Let's just do it.
Here it is, your daily dispatch.
Here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Tuesday, the 19th of December, 2023.
three.
Just in, Trump-appointed judge halts removal of Confederate Memorial at Arlington Cemetery.
A Trump-appointed federal judge on Monday issued a temporary restraining order halting the removal of Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
They were preparing for the removal, and I believe we have some video of that, clip number seven, the Confederate Memorial in Arlington Cemetery being dismantled.
So they did already start to do the work, but it's been halted.
U.S. District Judge Rosie Alston issued a restraining order.
A hearing is set for Wednesday.
A federal judge on Monday issued a temporary restraining order barring the removal of a memorial to Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
A group called Defend Arlington, affiliated with a group called Save Southern Heritage Florida, filed a lawsuit Sunday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, seeking the restraining order.
A hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday.
Work to remove the memorial had begun on Monday before the restraining order was issued, but the memorial remains in place on cemetery grounds.
The cemetery had said on Friday that it expected to complete the removal this week.
It said the removal was required by Congress and that it was complying with environmental and historic preservation regulations.
Yes, all regulations will be adhered to as they systematically dismantle and melt down your heritage, history, and identity.
Don't worry, the regulations are being adhered to.
alex jones
Thank you.
harrison smith
And we'll get back to that in just a little bit and talk about the memorial and where it came from and what it represents and how it is legally being torn down in direct defiance of Goodwill and national unity and decency and respect for history and all of those wonderful things that we are slowly but surely losing in this country.
Meanwhile, Tennessee sues BlackRock in first-of-its-kind ESG lawsuit.
Quote, I want to make certain that corporations, no matter their size, treat Tennessee customers fairly and honestly, Tennessee AG says.
ESG push is a money grab for major firms, not done for environmental interest.
That's according to Luke Lloyd.
Strategic Wealth Partners investment strategist Luke Lloyd discusses earning growth projection with ESG push among big firms in retail theft.
According to a lawsuit filed in state court Monday and first obtained by Fox Business, BlackRock has articulated two inconsistent positions.
One, prioritizing financial returns, and the other, prioritizing investment policies to combat climate change.
While BlackRock has faced widespread opposition over its so-called environmental, social, and governance strategy, Tennessee's action on Monday is the first legal challenge to accuse BlackRock of violating consumer protection laws.
We allege that BlackRock's inconsistent statements about its investment strategies deprived consumers of the ability to make an informed choice.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Scrametti And yeah, that's good.
This is what the law should be used for.
There are laws in place to prevent this type of stuff and whether or not You even agree with that.
It goes back to the Dodge vs.
Ford decision where Henry Ford was prioritizing the well-being of his workers and basically said that was an unfair advantage and you have to prioritize the returns to your investors.
And so that's the law.
That's the law as it is.
Somehow BlackRock got away with saying instead of prioritizing what's going to be the best return on your investment, we're going to prioritize the companies that have particular ethnic makeups.
We're going to prioritize and give preference to companies that discriminate against white people and men and Christians and give extra money to companies that pretend on the outside to give a damn about the environment while simultaneously offshoring all the manufacturing to China that has no environmental oversight whatsoever.
So whatever we have to do to put a stop to these diabolical machinations.
I'm for it. It's good on Tennessee.
And we'll talk a little bit more about that too and how ESG plays into the wider push for global domination and a very, very interesting thread that I came across that we'll show you in just a little bit on Twitter documenting the way that human health and health for the earth,
It's all a big push for health, but not actual health, not longevity and happiness and wealth of a spiritual nature, more of, well, sort of an eco-fascism that they're bringing down.
We'll get to that in just a little bit.
Meanwhile, U.S. Steel sold to a foreign company.
The sale of United States Steel Corporation, better known as U.S. Steel, has been approved by board members.
The company will almost certainly be sold to a foreign buyer.
In what is truly the end of an era, the company that started in 1901 and was key to the industrialization of the country is set to be acquired by Nippon Steel, a Japanese company with a value of over $21 billion.
The deal is valued at approximately $14.1 billion, according to Western Journal, which notes that the offer stood at $14.9 billion, but the buyer will absorb a little less than $1 billion in U.S. Steel's debt.
Nippon dates back to 1950 and currently employs over 105,000 workers.
The company reportedly came close to doubling an offer.
U.S. Steel had received months prior from rival company Cleveland Cliffs, founded in 1847.
The Pittsburgh company rejected that offer, however.
The American icon will reportedly keep its name and its headquarters will remain in Pittsburgh, where it was founded approximately 122 years ago.
J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie founded the company after Morgan financed a merger between three steel companies for $492 million at the time.
In addition, U.S. Steel was the first billion-dollar company in the United States.
There are some unexpected politicians pushing back against this.
I'll show you who that is a little bit later.
I'll give you a hint.
He might be an ogre.
Meanwhile, US announces 10 nation force to counter Houthi attacks in Red Sea.
Yes, folks, yesterday we laid out the options that are on the table.
Either we can...
Create some sort of coalition and start a world war and have a massive devastating shutdown of the entire world supply chain or Israel could just stop bombing Gaza.
It looks like we're going with the former.
We're going with that former option of going to massive war against Yemen and probably Iran which means maybe Hezbollah and Russia as well.
Because the other option is for Israel just to stop bombing Gaza and that apparently is just not even an option on the table.
The United States has announced a launch of a multinational force to protect trade in the Red Sea and after attacks by Yemenese Houthi rebels forced at least a dozen shipping lines to suspend operations.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday that Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Seychelles and United Kingdom would be among the countries joining the 10-nation multinational security initiative.
Well, aren't we lucky?
Aren't we lucky? Not quite the same level of alliance as maybe we started the Iraq war with.
But hey, at least the Seychelles and Bahrain are on our side.
What would we do without them?
Finally, Armageddon.
Thousands of illegal aliens wait to be processed at Eagle Pass like nothing you've ever seen.
We have a lot of videos of this.
And it's a full-on invasion.
And ironically...
They made the migrants dress in trash bags.
They're all wearing trash bags, as they are indeed dumped like trash on our border.
That's symbolic. We'll talk about that a lot later and show you some pretty stunning videos.
unidentified
All right, welcome back.
harrison smith
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal.
A lot to show you today.
A lot to talk about. Massive volcano eruptions in Iceland.
Showing some pretty incredible imagery.
Go to clip number 12 here.
Video shows a moment volcano erupted near Grindavik, Iceland.
We can just roll that as a B-roll here.
But it is a massive eruption following weeks of earthquakes.
In and around Iceland. There's been a lot of really massive volcanic activity recently.
In Okinawa, there's a massive volcano.
I believe in Indonesia last week, another massive eruption.
And now in Iceland, one of the largest volcanoes on the face of the earth that's still active is going live.
And with massive volcanic fissures opening up, clip number five here shows just almost like a...
I don't know, it's almost hard to believe.
A true hellscape.
Of course, you have to eat bugs.
You have to not have children.
Remember, we are killing the earth.
We are killing the earth with our mere existence.
The air that we breathe is doing irreparable damage to the environment.
And sure, every once in a while the earth just explodes and disgorges tons upon tons of CO2 and methane and all sorts of gas as it literally splits open and spills out toxic fumes.
But you have to eat bugs, folks.
You have to eat bugs and you have to not have a car and you have to let them spy on you and surveil you all the time because they're saving the earth from humans, you know, from you and me.
Maybe, just maybe, a little bit of humility would go a long way in understanding that the Earth is being bombarded continuously with solar radiation, insane space debris, and volcanic eruptions, and all sorts of things that just massively overwhelms any effect that humans could ever have.
You know, while we're on the topic of pollution, CO2 emissions, you know what would be probably the number one thing that we could do to lower CO2 emissions?
It would be to cut out shipping entirely.
I don't know if you've ever actually seen in person one of the container ships that plies endlessly across the Pacific Ocean, doing things like, I'm sure everybody's seen the meme at this point, there'll be a little plastic carton of peaches or whatever, and it's like, it was grown in Argentina, it was packaged in Taiwan, and then it was shipped to Cincinnati to be sold in a store.
Really? So every one of these ships puts off about the same amount of pollution and CO2 as every car in the world combined.
And you're having it chug across the Pacific Ocean twice just to take like 10 cents off the cost of a cup of peaches.
Maybe that's the problem.
Maybe the problem is globalism after all.
Maybe, just maybe, if we manufactured and grew and packed things here in America for sale in America, not only would we not have the massive amounts of pollution from the ships crossing the Pacific Ocean multiple times just to return to where they came from, you would also have environmental regulations actually Be enforced on the manufacturing process.
Instead, they offshore everything to China where there is no environmental controls.
And then they have to ship it across the ocean a couple times before it ever arrives on shelves.
And while the people doing this and organizing this and running the companies who run these programs are doing this, they're telling you you need to eat bugs.
They're telling you it's your fault that the earth is getting hotter.
And of course this has to do also with the shutting down of the Suez Canal.
As Zero Hedge reports, Red Sea is now largely closed to traffic.
That's 8.8 million BPD of daily oil transit and nearly 380 million tons of daily cargo transit.
Global traffic will now be rerouted around the Cape of Good Hope, adding 40% to a voyage distance and even more to cost.
And when I was talking on Twitter about the shutting down the Suez Canal and the Red Sea and how it should be the biggest story in the world, even though it's really hardly getting any attention.
After all, Donald Trump said he doesn't want immigration.
So that's what's been dominating the headlines.
If you go to someplace like Google News, it's like Donald Trump says he wants to use soldiers to protect the border.
Will his fascism ever end?
It's like, do you Do you know that we're on the cusp of a third world war with a primary shipping channel necessary for the survival of Europe being shut down because of a conflict that's been raging for over two months in which 20,000 people have died?
I mean, does anybody know Donald Trump stubbed his toe?
So that's going to be our main focus today.
But anyway, when I was talking about this, I heard people, saw people saying like, well, but the over land route isn't quite as, and it's like, no, no, no.
It's still more efficient to ship something around the entire continent of Africa than it is to go over land from the Sinai Peninsula.
That's how efficient actually shipping is compared to land shipping, land travel.
Typical Singapore to Rotterdam Sea voyage is almost 40 times longer via the Cape compared to the Suez Canal.
From around 8,440 miles to around 11,720 miles as they skirt the Cape of Good Hope.
Of course, it's also 40% longer time exposed to the elements, facing some disaster or something else.
The Houthis have said that the attacks on the Red Sea shipping lanes will not stop until Israel ends Gaza war.
unidentified
These dudes are crazy.
harrison smith
These dudes are crazy.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
harrison smith
I mean...
Not even in a bad way.
I'm just saying, like, these guys...
You know, they don't even have shoes.
You know, the Yemenis, like, they're famous for, like, they don't even have shoes.
They don't even have shoes.
But they're basically single-handedly stopping world trade through the Suez Canal.
That's... That's pretty huge.
They don't have shoes, but they do have drones and helicopters and massive armaments.
They've got priorities.
Yemeni Houthis will not halt attacks on ships linked to Israel and the Red Sea, despite the United States announcing a new maritime protection force to counter them, a spokesperson for the rebel group said.
Quote, even if America succeeds in mobilizing the entire world, our military operations will not stop, no matter the sacrifices it costs us, said Mohammed al-Bukhari, a senior Houthi official, in a post on X on Tuesday.
This could all be over. War is over if you want it.
Shipping is returned if you want it.
unidentified
Welcome back, folks. - Yes.
harrison smith
Yes, the Houthis, Yemenis Houthis, Yemen's Houthis, they will not stop Red Sea attacks until Gaza, or until Israel ends the Gaza war.
Will not halt attacks on ships linked to Israel in the Red Sea despite the United States announcing a new maritime protection force to counter them, a spokesman for the rebel group said.
The Houthis would only halt their attacks if Israel's, quote, crimes in Gaza stop and food, medicines, and fuel are allowed to reach its besieged population, al-Bukhadi said.
He spoke after US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced a coalition on Monday to protect trade in the Red Sea after the attacks forced shipping lines to suspend operations.
The Iran-linked Houthis have waged attacks on more than a dozen commercial ships in an attempt to pressure Israel to end its bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Yes, we want security and prosperity for almost the entire region.
For a very good chunk of the region, we want prosperity and safety and peace.
Now, there are little pockets of that region that will be utterly and completely destroyed.
But that's just part of the prosperity and safety.
In order to gain prosperity and safety, first we have to bankrupt and annihilate.
unidentified
Yeah. Of course, we covered it yesterday.
harrison smith
BP Evergreen at Euronav halt sailings through the chaotic Red Sea as insurers demand war risk coverage.
You can add Taiwan container line Evergreen and Belgian tanker owner Euronav to the growing list of major shipping firms halting all sales through the Red Sea Strait.
This brings the total to seven.
Also, the UK Navy disclosed more details regarding today's incident in the Red Sea, reporting that an explosion hit the side of a commercial vehicle near Yemen.
The Norwegian owner of the ship confirmed that an unidentified object had impacted the vessel on the port side.
Bent crewed figures have risen about 3% from the lows of 75%.
Dollars and 81 cents a barrel since 5.15 Eastern Time after reports started to trickle in about another incident in the Red Sea and more shippers were halting sailings in the region.
They say in light of deteriorating security situation for shipping in the Red Sea, BP has decided to temporarily pause all transits through the Red Sea.
And of course we showed you the video yesterday of the Houthi leader saying if the UAE and Saudi Arabia get involved, well...
Their oil fields are directly in the scope of Houthi's abilities to attack, which would make whatever economic disaster that comes about from this blockade pale in comparison.
I want to go down to a video of a supposed military expert,
military analyst from Sky News, There's something about this clip that disturbs me deeply.
I think you'll understand it's something about the nonchalant kind of just academic way that this person floats the idea of what in reality would be the most devastating and massive conflagration, conflict, total war, That we've seen in my lifetime.
But he treats this like it's flipping on a light.
Like it's moving your truck from garage one to garage two.
Like it's just a normal thing.
Well, this is what you need to do.
But what he's advocating is war with Iran.
And I really think this, not even what he's saying, it is what he's saying, but it's how he's saying it That I think gives us a lot of insight into how we arrive in a place where a bunch of bureaucratic, academic,
limp-wristed nobodies in boardrooms in DC and London just casually make these decisions as if they're playing chess, as if they're playing risk, as if they're just moving little pieces on a board.
Not even remotely recognizing that what they're talking about is snuffing out God knows how many human lives of just wasting endless material and not even once is the question asked, what's the other option?
Is there another option here?
And is that other option vastly more preferable?
The other option in this case would be, again, Israel could just stop bombing.
alex jones
They don't have to do this.
harrison smith
It doesn't have to keep going.
They can just stop.
So let's go to this military expert, this analyst from Sky News, which is very casually saying that America should go to war with Iran over the Yemeni shipping attacks.
unidentified
Let's watch. There's also potential for individual nations like the UK to underwrite the shipping.
In other words, if we're putting military escorts, we can underwrite the insurance and therefore the ships can get going again.
The trouble is attack is ultimately the best form of defence here because at the moment all they're doing is...
Putting an umbrella around the merchant shipping, what you actually want to do is stop the missiles coming in.
One of the options is to attack the Houthis, but in the past what's happened is the Americans have attacked Iran because it's Iran who actually are meddling around with it.
Clearly that risks escalation, but in the circumstances there's little choice if you want to get global trade moving again.
harrison smith
It's a little choice.
We've just had to attack Iran.
It's a little choice. Of course, the other choice is for Israel to just stop bombing Gaza.
But we're not going to even approach that.
unidentified
I think our only choice here is to start a world war.
harrison smith
Yes, I think the choice between telling Israel to chill out a little bit and stop bombing the hell out of Gaza for like a week or two, if it's between that and starting a...
Massive conflict with an incredibly strong country with Russia as an ally and nuclear arms and China and America and Hezbollah and Lebanon and everybody getting involved in a massive murder campaign.
That's the better choice. For me it's just a logical choice.
I think that's just the most smart thing to do here.
Really. Really.
So not just attacking Yemen but attacking Iran.
Because the weapons come from Iran.
Interesting. And that seems to be the choice we're making.
That does actually seem to be the path we are pursuing.
Red Sea Patrol forced to counter Houthi attacks.
The United States announced a 10-nation force to protect trade in the Red Sea after attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels forced shipping companies to halt operations.
After the U.S. announcement, Houthi Major General Yusuf al-Madani said in a statement, any escalation in Gaza is an escalation in the Red Sea.
Any country or party that comes between us and Palestine, we will confront it.
Spokesperson Albu Khaydi told Al Jira on Monday that the group would confront any U.S.-led coalition in the Red Sea, saying you have the military establishment in Yemen and the area is controlled by the Houthis, warning that they will continue to target ships cruising through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea, and they insist that they're doing this to protect people in warning that they will continue to target ships cruising through the
In particular, Al Jazeera's Hashem al-Bara said, reporting from Doha on Tuesday, a top Houthi official, Mohammed Abdul Salam, who is also a senior negotiator, said the attacks by the Houthis are not an act of defiance, But if this new coalition is adamant on launching attacks, then they will have to bear the consequences of what he described as a broader conflict in the region.
alex jones
Yeah.
harrison smith
U.S. and British Navy said over the weekend that their destroyers had shot down a total of 15 drones in the waterway.
In the latest incident on Tuesday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said four small boats, each carrying four to five people, approached a vessel off the coast of Djibouti in a suspicious maneuver that no weapons were seen during the incident.
At least 12 shipping companies have ceased operations there.
And the U.S. has announced a 10-nation force to counter Houthi attacks.
It's going to be Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Seychelles.
Am I even pronouncing that right? Seashells?
Seychelles? And the United Kingdom.
I mean, it's such a big and important ally for us to have, of course, the Seychelles.
And the United Kingdom would be among the countries joining the 10 Nation Multinational Security Initiative.
Oh, well, it's a security initiative.
It sounds so professional.
I'm so assured by this.
We're doomed, folks. Welcome back, folks.
We'll move on here in just a moment.
There are a few more things I would like to discuss in the realm of war.
Just illustrate. How important this one shipping lane is, around 12% of all global trade passes through the Red Sea, which connects the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal, including 30% of container traffic.
So pretty much a third of all container ship traffic passes through the Suez Canal at one point or another during its trip.
That's absolutely massive.
Absolutely massive.
Again... You know, I just wonder, I posted about this yesterday on Twitter, but I'm reading this book right now.
I got mixed feelings about it.
It's called Lone Survivor, and it's a Navy SEAL talking about being behind enemy lines in Afghanistan and surviving.
And this is in the early 2000s, mid-2000s, shortly after 9-11.
And It's the story of this guy just is really going through impossible trials like just all of his friends get shot and he's literally falling off of cliffs and down mountains and I mean it's just he's getting shot it's crazy what this guy puts up with and is able to power through but every time he interacts with an Afghan person whether it's a militant or not every time he meets an enemy in the field He adds a note about like,
this guy wants to kill Americans.
If I don't kill this guy, he may be the one that makes the bomb that kills, you know, a platoon of soldiers.
Or this guy may have been buddies with bin Laden.
And help to carry out the attack on American soil.
And if we don't do this, if we don't get this job done, there could be another 9-11 around the corner.
So it was this sense of urgency.
And I was saying this on Twitter and people were commenting being like, but 9-11 was an inside job.
And it's like, you don't think I know that?
You don't think I know that?
I'm making a point of the 9-11 false flag was a psychological imperative for the people on the ground going through this awful war.
Of thinking, I'm doing this for a reason.
I have people I'm protecting by going through this.
I have to kill that guy because if I don't, he's going to kill my fellow Americans.
I don't have an option.
There's no hesitation.
There's no doubt because always that's running in the back of his mind.
This is to save Americans.
This is to save Americans.
Whether you even believe that's true or not, it's beside the point.
That's what was necessary for this hyper-elite special ops person who, of course, I mean, the training they go through, the millions of dollars that are dedicated into, you know, each one of these guys are like living weapons.
My question is, if we end up in a ground war in Yemen, if we end up in a ground war in Iran over this, what's going to be running through their heads?
This is to save Americans?
Well, not really. We have to do this to protect the shipping lanes?
Like, it's kind of vague.
It's not the best motivator.
If I don't do this, Israel has to stop killing Gazans, and that's not acceptable.
Like, is that what's going to drive and inspire our soldiers to go to war with Yemen or Iran?
We're going to ask them to die?
We're going to ask these, like, super intelligent, super motivated, the most physically fit human beings that have ever existed.
We're going to ask them to go sacrifice their lives for what exactly?
For what? The security of Israel.
But not even, right? Because they could just stop.
Just Israel's ability to slaughter Palestinians without resistance.
I'm just saying, morale is already at an all-time low in the armed forces, and now we're going to send them into combat in Yemen or Iran, full well knowing that we're only doing so because apparently, diplomatically, we just can't get Israel to just stop doing what they're doing, or just won't.
We just won't put pressure on them.
I just can't imagine that going well.
I really can't.
And of course the numbers and the problems with the military right now are absolutely massive.
U.S. enters 2024 with its smallest military in over 80 years as active duty troop numbers sink to less than 1.3 million and all branches except Space Force miss recruiting goals and Pentagon issues National Call of Service to Gen Z. They apparently missed their recruiting numbers by 41,000 personnel.
They're 41,000 under what they think they need just for this recruiting cycle.
The United States is set to enter 2024, the smallest military in more than eight decades, faces its greatest challenges in trying to boost recruiting from Gen Z, Pentagon officials said.
Oh gee, the generation that you poisoned with atrazine and fluoride and that you locked in a room for two years.
A generation that you have literally psychologically terrorized so badly that they're afraid to order things off of a menu.
Have you seen that? It's like a psychological phenomenon where like gin's ears get panic attacks when they look at menus.
They can't decide what they want and so they can't go to restaurants.
It's like a real thing. We're afraid to drive.
I know family friends, kids that were in high school when COVID hit and the lockdowns trapped them in their room for two years.
They're literally afraid to drive.
They cannot drive because they get panic attacks when they're behind the wheel.
Normal kids grew up totally normal.
Outdoors, riding on four-wheelers and fishing.
They were badass people before they were locked in their room for two years and forced to wear a mask.
And deprived human interaction in their most formative years.
So, I mean, are you surprised that the people that you have rung through the psychological trauma ringer aren't exactly eager to go pick up a gun and fight dudes who grew up in rubble?
Are you really that surprised?
What do the recruitment meetings look like in the Army right now?
Recruiting is awful low, sir.
Have you tried calling all white people evil?
You have. That didn't work, did it?
Have you tried telling the Gen Zers how gay we are?
Have you told them that we're down with the gays now?
You did? That's still not enough, huh?
Gee, I wonder what the problem could be.
Have you showed them the commercial with the pregnant Latino woman?
And they're still not motivated, huh?
Wow. Look at that.
Have you tried spending several years actively disparaging their race and ethnicity and heritage?
The country that you're now asking them to go fight and die for, you have, and they're still not joining, huh?
What are we doing wrong?
Nobody should join. Nobody should join.
You should not join. These people despise you.
They want you to die, and they despise you.
They want you to fight for them, surrender your life, and sacrifice your life for them, and they openly hate you.
I wonder why.
I wonder why you can't reach your goals.
It's ridiculous. Recent recruitment targets were missed by the Navy, Army, and Air Force, although the Marine Corps and the newly established Space Force reached their goals.
This week, Ashish Vazirani.
Ashish Vazirani.
Ashish Vazirani.
The Pentagon's acting Undersecretary for Personnel and Readiness told the House Armed Services Committee the individual services missed their recruitment goals by 2023 by a combined 41,000 personnel.
Vazirani, classic American name.
He said, quote, that number understates the challenges before us as the services lowered end strength goals in recent years, in part because of the difficult recruiting environment.
And maybe they'll just do the draft.
Two decades ago, 25% of young people had never thought about joining the military, but that figure is now more than 50%.
This has led to a disconnect between the military and a large share of society today – Youth of today are not saying no to what the military has to offer.
They simply don't know much about military service.
That's probably what it is.
Yeah, that's probably what it is.
They just don't know. Yeah, that's literally the opposite of the problem.
The problem is that they know too much.
The problem is that they're aware now of just how worthless their lives are to you, and they're not exactly eager to sign up to be used as pawns in some geopolitical chess game whose end goal is their destruction regardless.
Obviously. We had this story yesterday.
We didn't exactly cover it. U.S. Army faces TikTok mutiny as Gen Z recruits whine about low pay, crappy food, and fitness tests while on bases in uniform.
Brazen posts represent audacious challenge to top brass amid recruiting crisis.
One of the posts by military influencer Anthony Laster slams army life, says he spent his whole day watching TikToks while supposedly fighting the Taliban.
Laster from Chicago has more than a million followers on TikTok.
He made the public comments in uniform while on mission in the desert.
In another post, he claimed he spent the whole day watching TikTok while supposedly fighting the Taliban.
Gives a woeful impression of America's fighting forces to potential recruits, which is likely to cause further animosity towards TikTok from critics.
It's TikTok's fault, folks.
It's that platform where they upload these things.
That's the real issue. Which is why they're recruiting illegal immigrants now.
I don't even know what to say about it.
I mean, it's like tragic.
It's very dangerous for our safety as Americans.
unidentified
But on the other hand, join the Army.
harrison smith
Sort of a lose-lose situation we're in.
I want to show you a video now.
unidentified
I think we've all experienced some form of this type of thing.
harrison smith
It is... Video, uh, clip number nine.
It's from the Whatever podcast.
I'm not even gonna comment over it.
I just want you to absorb this, appreciate it.
We'll comment on the other side.
Let's just go now to clip number nine.
unidentified
Okay, you guys are all just, like, really misogynistic.
How do you define misogyny?
What?
How do you, I'm just asking how you define misogyny.
Can I go?
Are you okay? Like you want to go as in leave?
If you, yeah, no, look, if you want to leave, you can leave.
I was hoping we could continue having a conversation, but, um, I mean.
Oof.
harrison smith
I think oof is the right reaction to that.
unidentified
Amen.
Amen.
Thank you.
harrison smith
Has anybody else ever experienced, I've experienced that exact same thing.
I've experienced that exact same thing at a party for 10 years ago.
Some girl being like, oh, you like to talk politics?
I love talking politics.
I was like, I'm here to have fun.
I don't really want to get into politics.
But people start talking about politics anyway.
And I just said one quick thing about Obama being a liar and he's a CIA operative and he gets into office and continues and expands all the wars that he said he would close down.
And she just starts crying. She starts crying and runs away.
And you're just like, what just happened?
How did that just, what just happened there?
I don't understand. I like to think that maybe by challenging this girl to simply define the word that she used, she had a revelation.
Like, I'm hoping that was a revelation.
I'm hoping that was a moment where she was like, she calls a misogynist.
He says, what does misogynist mean?
And she just breaks down and runs away.
This is where our political realm is.
She votes, by the way. Her vote is worth as much as yours.
And there's like 20 million people like that.
Girls and boys. I mean, it's not a woman thing.
It's like a liberal thing.
You're a misogynist. What does misogynist mean?
And I would hope that what's going on in her mind is like, I don't know what misogyny means.
I can't define that.
I look like an idiot. I'm way out of my depth here.
I've just been repeating things that other people have told me and now I'm being exposed in front of these cameras for the NPC mindless drone that I am.
I need to really think about this.
I really need to think about how I got here, why I believe the things that I do, how I can be deploying words without even knowing the meaning of them.
What am I doing here?
Like I hope that's what's going on.
Likely what's actually going on is there some sort of weird oppression alchemy going on in her head where she's going, this man is using his white privilege.
I'm sure we could find an article where a leftist has all of the right made-up terms to describe what's going on here in ways that shield them from having to acknowledge any Short-falling of their own knowledge or vocabulary, where it's like, this is a tactic often deployed by white supremacists, where they force you to define your terms in an effort to undermine your da-da-da.
And so she's just like, I'm being oppressed.
I'm being, I think that's probably what's, I wish, I really hope that what we witnessed there was an awakening, was a realization, was a shocking sort of come to Jesus lightning bolt moment.
I hope she went home and really thought about how she ended up in that place.
I think the more likely scenario is she saw asking her to define misogyny as some sort of hyper-aggressive misogyny that she was being subjected to.
So she ran away only to be comforted by her leftist friends who told her, it doesn't matter.
You don't need to know the words. You don't need to know the terms.
You're so right. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We are going to be going on Christmas break later this week.
Which I'm very excited for.
I'm very excited to disconnect from the news cycle for at least a few days.
Not that I will. Not that I really will, but it'll be nice to have the option, won't it?
And it really is just, it's just nice having an organization like InfoWars.
It's like a real company.
It's like a real company with employees.
We all work together to bring you the best broadcasts that we possibly can.
We all could be independent, right?
Everyone here is incredibly talented.
Everybody behind the scenes.
I mean, they don't get the credit.
They aren't sitting in front of the camera. But I wouldn't be sitting in front of the camera without them.
The whole crew back there, all of the writers, all of the IT guys, and the people making content at band.video, and the people just keeping the engine greased and running and...
It's all brought to you by Infowarsstore.com, and I really can't thank you enough for that.
We could all be independent. We could all be alone like little rowboats sort of spinning away on a lake, but instead we have a battleship.
Instead we all have a battleship where we all fulfill our parts.
We all work together to achieve a single mission and drive forward in the same direction.
This is what's necessary for victory.
This is what's necessary to combat the machines of misinformation that are constantly churning out the lies that are befuddling and destroying lives.
Across the world and especially here in the United States.
So I'm so thankful to have this battleship to work at.
And I really can't thank you enough for going to InfoWarsStore.com and guaranteeing that we all get to have a wonderful Christmas.

Oh boy, is there a lot to get into?
You know, I guess we'll take a little bit of a wider view now, because this is a...
Very interesting discovery made by a woman named Lisa Logan at I am Lisa Logan on Twitter.
She says, I've discovered exactly how the federal government is sneakily going to turn freedom-loving America into a surveillance state like China through manipulation of the term resilience.
It's called the Federal Plan for Equitable Long-Term Recovery and Resilience.
Let's go now to clip number eight.
She says, I need your help.
I've discovered exactly how.
lisa logan
The Federal Plan for Equitable Long-Term Recovery and Resilience, also called ELTRR or the Federal Plan, is supposedly infusing federal funding into communities hit hard by the pandemic to make them more resilient against future disasters.
Under this pretext, radical policy changes will be expected in these local economies to foster what they call resilience.
Changes not just in health, but in education, housing, employment, transportation, food, water, justice, climate, climate, etc.
The recommendations instituted through the federal plan will affect what children will be taught in school, because it'll teach them to think like a communist, how communities are planned and budgeted, giving preferential treatment based on skin color, how much water can be used, and what kind of food can be purchased, how much water can be used, and what kind of food can be purchased, decided by equity
Measuring resilience will require collecting invasive amounts of data on children, adults, businesses, and other entities, which will be gathered and evaluated, tracked through indices like these, and then scored and judged based upon whether or not their behavior is contributing to the resilience or health and then scored and judged based upon whether or not their behavior is Social credit system ahoy, essentially.
The federal plan and its vital conditions framework are being used as a backdoor way of implementing the totalitarian targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs.
It will transform America's capitalist economy to what's deceptively termed a well-being economy, where growth isn't measured anymore by gross domestic product or GDP but by very subjective indicators of well-being and health that will need government intervention and constant monitoring to ensure everyone has equal outcomes and resilience.
This is communism, folks, and this is where you come in.
Please retweet this tweet thread, tag your representatives in Congress that you can find at this link, as well as the judiciary committees, and call on them to do a full investigation into the federal plan, the interagency workgroup behind it, and their partners in the private sector.
Read this tweet thread and watch the YouTube video I made on it linked below for the full story.
harrison smith
You know, back in the day, if you wanted to identify conspiracies, like actual conspiracies, secret societies working together to progress a secret agenda, you sort of had to look for like symbols, right? You look for people doing the hand thing, you know, different hand motions, or maybe the way they shake hands is that particular Freemason handshake or whatever it is.
Nowadays, the best way to identify this is with the little code words that they use.
The words that they use, which seem to just be sprinkled in, no special attention brought to them, but they signal adherence to a certain narrative.
And what we always point out is stakeholder.
If you hear the term stakeholder, That's a signal about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, stakeholder capitalism, neo-fascism, ESG. And there are ones everybody knows, right?
Equitable, equity, sustainable.
Like, these are all code words they use as well.
One of the code words that they use that you can find in the lockstep document, and we point to, since it really does give the blueprint to everything, is resilience.
If you remember the lockstep document, I know I have to go through this over and over and people that know it are probably going to be saying it.
People who haven't said it need to know this.
Lockstep document by the Rockefeller Foundation, which predicted almost to a T, not just COVID lockdown, And the effects it would have and the way that it would be used to progress us towards a globalist agenda, but also hack attack, which is where we are now, which is the status that we're in that predicts the geopolitical breakdown, the cyber attacks that are coming.
I mean, it's all here in this document.
And you'll notice there are four scenarios called scenario planning, hack attack, smart scramble, clever together, and lockstep.
But what are these four things?
Well, there are four quadrants that Of a graph, basically, where the two axes are political and economic alignment and adaptive capacity.
Well, adaptive capacity is another word for resilience.
Just tying all this in together, when they say resilience, what they mean is adaptive capacity, which is what they're signaling to their fellow operators in the know, is that they want Their ideal is high alignment and high adaptive capacity, which they call resilience.
And the way they explain this is it basically justifies their desire for greater centralization.
When COVID came about, was it easier to get Walmart to lock down 10,000 stores or to get 10,000 small businesses to independently lock down?
Obviously, it's a lot easier if there's one massive pyramid structure corporation where the people at the top can go, we're locking down and everybody underneath falls in line and does what they want.
They all change on a dime and with uniformity.
It's way easier to control and it's all about control.
Everything these people do is about control.
So when they say adaptive capacity, what they mean is a greater capacity for control.
It's way easier to have that pyramid structure, one guy makes the order, everybody else underneath follows, than it is to have 10,000 little stores.
Some are going to agree with you, some aren't, some are going to do it their own way, some are going to do it a different way.
That massive corporate structures are much, much easier to all move in one direction at the same time.
And that's literally what they mean when they say resilience or adaptive capacity.
And they actually explained this in the Locke Step document.
Adaptive capacity. This uncertainty refers to the capacity at which different levels of society to cope with change and adapt effectively.
The ability to adapt can mean proactively managing existing systems and structures to ensure their resilience against external forces, as well as the ability to transform those systems and structures when they change contexts mean they're no longer suitable.
Exactly what they're describing.
Translation, it's easier to have a massive corporate system like Walmart change it once than it is to try to change a bunch of small businesses so they prefer the singular giant pyramid structure.
You really have to give kudos to Lisa Logan at IamLisaLogan on Twitter.
I just retweeted this thread.
So if you subscribe to me, go to at Harrison H. Smith.
And you can find this thread and go follow her and read through this thread.
Actually, it's a thread of videos.
So you can watch all the videos.
We just played the first one that last segment.
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how it's all tied in together from the World Health Organization to the World Economic Forum.
These terms like resilience, adaptive capacity, even the term health or well-being.
Sort of being weaponized at this point.
But these are the watchwords they need to be aware of so you understand who these people are signaling to.
their fellow travelers in this neo-fascistic, communistic system.
So she says, I've discovered exactly how the federal government is uniquely going to turn freedom-loving Americans into a surveillance state like China through the manipulation of the term resilience.
It's called the Federal Plan for Equitable Long-Term Recovery and Resilience.
The conspiracy for this transformation was hatched by a federal interagency work group and their partners in March of 2020.
Resilience requires using a critical theory lens, you know, racism, to decide who gets federal resources and how those federal resources are spent equitably.
you To ensure equitable outcomes for the federal plan, a new framework created by Wellbeing in the Nation, WIN Network, changes how our nation measures health to be through a racial justice lens.
Their goal is the destruction of capitalism and shifting on how we measure our economy.
Capitalism will be replaced with a, quote, well-being economy.
This is a global plan by the World Health Organization to use, quote, health or resilience as a lever to change all sectors in all communities to force compliance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals agenda.
The federal plan and the interagency workgroup behind it are using health and resilience as a guide to covertly, as a guise, rather, to covertly insert the who's Geneva Charter for Wellbeing into U.S. Cities and Towns.
We're told this in the video from the WHO exactly how to do it.
You can see in this document the WHO's framework to implement their Geneva Charter in localities across the world.
It's exactly what the federal plan does, and a link to the federal plan is actually listed as a resource at the bottom of the paper.
Again, who do we have so far?
We've got our federal government spearheading this.
But in cooperation and under the direction of the World Health Organization, the UN, the World Economic Forum, of course, we're all tied in together to implement this at a national level, at a locality level, as they have your mayor signing on to things like the C40 cities pledge to serve bugs in school cafeterias and stop using cars for Official transportation and that sort of hogwash.
You also have it on the corporate level.
massive corporations doing this either on their own volition and choosing to engage in this or because they're compelled to through ESG programs, meaning that they will be starved of investment if they don't comply with these measures that come from on high and the top-down method of imposition. meaning that they will be starved of investment if they In a well-being economy, resilience will be constantly measured and tracked instead of GDP, turning everywhere into a smart city that collects data on everybody and everything.
That data will be interoperable, able to be shared across systems through blockchain.
Your digital ID used to access services in the smart city will carry your health and resilience data and track compliance.
Like in China's social credit system, every entity could be rewarded or punished based upon if they follow the government's recommendations.
The technological and data infrastructure needed to create this monitoring system in every city will require mass amounts of funding money from COVID recovery bills that cities accept from the Economic Development Administration forced them to implement the federal plan recommendations.
unidentified
So...
harrison smith
They create a disease. They unleash it on the world.
They impose massive lockdowns that shut down the economy.
Then they provide you with the funds to overcome the shutdown that they enforced.
And the funds come with a little caveat that you have to implement this equity plan if you accept them.
But you have to accept them because of the lockdown that they forced on you, because of the disease that they released.
Problem, reaction, solution.
It's simple if we could wake up from it.
Finally, she says there needs to be a detailed congressional investigation into the federal plan for equitable long-term recovery and resilience and the conspiracy of the groups behind it.
She tags Jim Jordan, Hawley, and many others.
And this was published in the Liberty Sentinel.
LibertySentinel.org where you can find the document and all these videos.
And I'm just, for a radio list, I'm just straight up reading this thread.
So again, got to give credit, kudos, and insist that you go follow Lisa Logan at IamLisaLogan on Twitter for putting this together in every single one of the entries I just read as a video accompanying it, showing you exactly how this is manifesting and how this is being brought about.
So the federal plan for equitable long-term recovery and resilience being implemented through the distribution of COVID funds to make up for the economic destruction that they wrought on us.
Very, very good work from Lisa Logan.
And I would like to see some investigation of this.
I mean, what it represents is sort of a soft, sort of a mild treason.
Sort of a mild treason. Essentially taking these Globus organizations who are not American, do not have Americans' best interests in mind, and instead see American well-being, to use their term, American expectations of quality of life, That's something to be lowered because it's all about equitable well-being.
And why should your country be doing so well when other countries are not doing as well?
Everybody needs to be brought down to that lowest common denominator and then strictly controlled in their actions through the financial system and the implementation of digital ID and all of these different programs working together, fitting together like The teeth of gears all churning in the same direction, driving us towards this one-world globalist technocratic hellscape of prison planet.
So I would like to see some sort of investigation of this.
I would like to see some sort of questions being asked by the people who have been entrusted to safeguard America and our well-being and self-interest.
I'd like to see them actually...
Root out the bureaucratic methods by which non-American interests are being enforced and prioritized over Americans through this type of manipulation.
And manipulation is exactly what it is.
Wellness, resilience, equity.
It's like, yeah, dude, the thief who's going to rob you doesn't come up and say, I'm a thief, I'm going to rob you.
The kidnapper luring the children says he has candy.
Of course they use pleasant sounding words to lure you into their trap.
That's what makes it a trap.
That's a necessary component of evil, that they have to conceal their real intentions.
And it's honestly just pathetic that Americans are so...
have been so...
Their self-preservation instinct has been so destroyed that literally, I'm sure if you go up and show this to your average American, they'll just be like, what's wrong with wellness and resilience?
Those words are good.
Equity? I like equity.
And it's just like... Okay, you're a child that sees a big van with no windows and thinks, candy tastes good.
I like candy.
What could be so bad about candy?
You're telling me that me getting candy is bad?
No, I'm telling you it's a trick.
and you're not going to like what happens next.
unidentified
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm going to go ahead and open up the phone lines for your calls.

We'll take calls for the second half of the show.
We still have a lot of stories to cover and a lot of videos to show you.

Can Texas secede?
Nationalist Group says yes.
Supreme Court says no.
Guess what the beautiful part about secession is?
Guess what the whole point of secession is?
We don't have to care what you say anymore.
Yeah, we know. We know the federal government doesn't want what's best for Texas.
That's kind of the whole point, isn't it?
The country you're declaring independence from says you can't declare independence.
Well, guess what?
Guess what independence means?
We don't have to listen to you anymore.
The Texas nationalist movement wants to session vote during the 2024 state Republican primary.
They are getting it.
The Texas Republican Party is in the process of verifying 139,000 petition signatures that would put Texas resolution before the primary voters in March.
An organization called the Texas Nationalist Movement has submitted more than 139,000 petition signatures to the state Republican Party seeking to place a referendum on the March primary ballot calling for Texas to secede from the United States.
Which would be wonderful. And, you know, maybe that goes in line with...
Story like this. Texas law lets police arrest migrants who enter U.S. illegally.
Well, imagine that.
Imagine that. We wrote a law saying that Texas will let police arrest criminals.
We had to write a law to do that, apparently.
That wasn't just a thing that existed already.
Okay. Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law sweeping new powers that allow police to arrest migrants who cross the border illegally.
He approved the sweeping new powers to allow police to arrest illegals and gives local judges authority to order them to leave the country, testing the limits of how far a state can go to enforce immigration laws.
The law which takes effect in March allows any Texas law enforcement officer to arrest people who are suspected of entering the country illegally.
Once in custody, they could either agree to a Texas judge's order to leave the U.S. or be prosecuted on misdemeanor charges of illegal entry.
Migrants who don't leave could face arrest again under more serious felony charges.
What if we just didn't have to care about or rely on the federal government?
What if we could just do this ourselves without having to be constantly hamstrung by our own national government who actively goes out and sends soldiers to tear down the borders that we erect and to lift up the barbed wire that we lay down?
And to process into our country the tens of thousands a day crossing over the border, what if we just do it all ourselves?
I mean, what is the benefit?
The benefit of... Being a part of a coalition, being a part of a nation, being part of a union would ostensibly be that just because Texas is on the border doesn't mean we have to take the entire burden of border security ourselves.
It would mean that the cost and manpower and resources required to patrol the border and protect America from invasion would be shared by all 50 states.
So instead, we're getting the worst of both worlds.
We are both not given any resources by the federal government to actually protect our border.
Instead, the resources that they're spending are going to invading our country and working against the things that we're doing on a state level, and we're having to provide the resources at the state level to try to make up for what the federal government's not doing.
So what is the point of this union?
What is the point of being tied inexorably together To this political function, this political construct that is only doing us disservice.
What is the point? What is the point?
We should leave. I think we should leave.
Now I'm going to go to another video here.
And it's a surprising one.
It'll be clip number 16. The story from The Blaze, U.S. Steel sold to a foreign company.
The sale of the United States Steel Corporation, better known as U.S. Steel, has been approved by its board members.
The company will almost certainly be sold to a foreign buyer.
Nippon Steel, a Japanese company, with a value of over $21 billion, is paying approximately $14.1 billion for U.S. Steel.
This was announced yesterday, and I only saw one politician speaking up against it.
It was, of all people...
Pennsylvania's own John Fetterman.
john fetterman
Here's what he had to say. I'm standing on the roof of my home right here in Braddock, Pennsylvania, right across the street from the Edgar Thompson plan.
And I just have to say it's absolutely outrageous that they have sold themselves to a foreign nation and a company.
Can't do that. Steel is always about security as well, too.
And I am committed to doing anything I can do from using my platform or my position in order to block this.
And I'm going to fight for the steelworkers and their union way of life here as well too.
And we cannot ever allow them to be screwed over or left behind.
harrison smith
Awesome. Awesome.
He's doing more. He's saying more.
He seems more committed to actual nationalistic policies than Republicans.
This is crazy. This is like upside down world.
I hope we're not missing an opportunity here.
It seems like there are so many things these days where the divide is so clearly between people who actually want the best for the country and And the globalist institutional elite scumbags that are doing everything they can to destroy us.
I don't care how you make the argument.
If it's because you love unions and the steel union needs your support or because you are an environmentalist and think that America needs to have the final say in the regulations for steel production because you can't trust an Asian company to care about the environment the same way that America does.
I don't care what the reason is.
We all want the same thing. We want the companies to stay here.
We want the manufacturing to stay here.
We want the good jobs with the pensions and the time off.
We want all that for everybody.
We want what's best for America.
We don't want to go to war.
We don't want to see America's national interests subjugated under the national interests of Israel.
There's so many things where it's like Thomas Massey and Rashida Tlaib on the same side.
Now you've got John Fetterman and I don't know any Republicans that are coming out speaking out against this.
But good for John Fetterman.
I'm sure Thomas Massey or Rand Paul or somebody would be on his side.
So what if this is a huge opportunity to shatter the two-party system, come together on the things that we agree on, And settle our differences elsewhere.
Again, this ties to the immigration topic as well.
At least it does in my mind.
You got this story from ABC News.
Trump doubles down on anti-immigration rhetoric, pledging to use overseas troops at the border.
To me, this is just sort of the perfect example and the best example of one of the instances where it's not that we don't have the resources.
It's not that we don't have the money or the manpower or the ability.
They're just being...
Used in other places.
Just instead of protecting our southern border, we're protecting Syrian oil fields and, you know, Finland's borders or whatever.
Why not use those same resources on our southern border to protect our country from invasion?
If we're going to be spending billions upon billions of dollars Regardless, I'd rather that money go towards building up America for American citizens than being handed out wholesale or given to corporations to facilitate invasion and going to illegal immigrants.
Can we not come together from both political parties and unify on these ideas that actually benefit the American people instead of just dissecting us for the benefit of foreigners?
There's still so many big stories to get to here. - It's not one of the biggest ones, but it is confirmation of something I've said quite a bit on this show.
Britain's national grid drops China-based supplier over cybersecurity fears.
Electric power transmission I'm sorry.
Britain's national grid has started removing components supplied by a unit of China-backed NARI technologies from electricity transmission network over cybersecurity fears, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
The decision came in April after the utility sought advice from the National Cybersecurity Center, a branch of the nation's signals intelligence agency, GCHQ. The newspaper quoted a Whitehall official as saying, National Grid declined to comment, citing confidential contractual matters.
Quote, We take the security of our infrastructure very seriously and have effective controls in place to protect our employees and critical assets to ensure we can continue to reliably, safely and securely transmit electricity.
They say an employee at the NARI subsidy in our Electric UK said the company no longer had access to sites where the components were listed and the National Grid did not disclose a reason for terminating the contract.
Could it possibly be because the Chinese supply companies are supplying critical infrastructure components with kill switches in them, with remote shutdown operations?
It could very well be.
Of course, we've warned about this quite a bit.
It's yet another reason not to offshore all your manufacturing to your primary global geopolitical enemy.
Crazy. It's all completely insane.
Now Britain is like, uh, they could kill us all.
They're giving us the components for the infrastructure that we need to live, and they could shut it all down remotely with the click of a button in the middle of winter.
And that would be very bad.
Just suicidal construct, the modern world, truly.
With that, I'm going to go out to phone calls.
We've got John from Houston.
John, of course, called in early on in the Israeli conflict, gave a breakdown of...
Predictions and things like that was going to happen that went absolutely viral.
Called back in. We did a little back and forth.
Pastor Sam called him an enemy of God.
It was very exciting. John, thank you so much for calling back in.
What is your take on what's going on in the Middle East now?
Obviously, the headlines. Yemen's Houthis will not stop Red Sea attacks until Israel ends Gaza War.
And U.S. announces 10-nation force to counter Houthi attacks.
What's it called? Operation...
Sensitive shipment or something.
Yeah, apparently we're going to go to war with Yemen over there attacking ships in the Red Sea.
What's your take and prognosis on this, John?
@lebanon john
Well, the Yemenis have declared that they're ready for it.
They're not scared. They say they have everything they need to engage this armada.
They have naval mines.
A recently, like three days ago recently, struck a ship with a ballistic anti-ship missile, which was the first time in world history that a ballistic missile was successfully used against a boat.
And everyone knows this is being done with Iranian support and intelligence assets.
They actually admitted that, actually.
Iran openly admitted, yes, we are giving the Yemenis whatever they need to win.
And to fight.
So it's in the Iranian interest to use the Yemenis in this way.
And Yemen thinks it's their religious duty to try to lift the blockade and the siege of food and fuel and medicine on Gaza.
And that's the criteria for them to back off, is that the siege is lifted on Gaza.
Yemen is the poorest country in the Middle East.
They've survived a I don't know the exact time, but probably a decade-long invasion, war, blockade, and siege.
It's been a while.
They are suffering from cholera outbreaks, famine, all kinds of stuff.
So it's been real rough for the Yemenis.
This was a controversial issue where Saudi Arabia was lobbying the United States to get involved with U.S. troops in Yemen.
Donald Trump did not take the bait.
Instead, sold equipment to Saudi Arabia.
And Saudi Arabia has been trying to install a puppet government in Yemen for the longest time.
And they were finally making a peace agreement, but the peace agreement is not likely to hold because Saudi Arabia is going to be party to this armada.
That's extremely dangerous because the Aramco pipelines, refineries, all the Saudi Arabia oil infrastructure is essentially sitting ducks.
Despite all the Patriot missiles and Iron Dome that they could possibly put, Yemen can overwhelm those air defenses.
This is not very far from Yemen.
This is not hard for Yemen to hit.
Yemen has successfully hit Israel all the way from Yemen.
You can imagine how much easier it would be to hit something right in front of you.
unidentified
And so Yemen has told the world that that's what they'll do.
harrison smith
We actually played the video yesterday of the leader of the Houthis saying, if the UAE or Saudi Arabia gets involved, we'll destroy your oil fields.
I guess my question is, why haven't they done that yet?
Because, I mean, they've been at war with Saudi Arabia for the last decade or so.
So if these oil fields are so vulnerable, why haven't they already been hit?
Why? Why now?
@lebanon john
They were hit a couple times.
They were. But this is their ace in the hole.
This is their nuclear option.
So this is created to create deterrence.
So that this is what's holding the aggression against Yemen in check.
And this is like the last case scenario.
So they're not going to play the trump card prematurely.
They warned about it.
They flirted with it. They harassed it.
They hit some basic stuff.
But as the aggression on Yemen increases, This is how they achieve deterrence from being given the Gaza treatment.
harrison smith
Right, right.
@lebanon john
Now, the big issue is the story in Lebanon.
Israel, the northern Israel has been abandoned for some time now, about two months or a month and a half.
So Israel has, the northern Israel life has come to a screeching halt.
The hope and morale of returning to normal life Or Israeli citizens of northern Israel is low.
They tell the government, we will not go back until the issue is resolved.
But the issue cannot be resolved until some kind of peace with Hezbollah is achieved.
Hezbollah says, only condition for peace, again, stop killing people in Gaza.
Same thing with Yemen. Everyone's saying the same thing.
If you want this to de-escalate, just stop killing the people in Gaza.
Now, they're not going to stop killing the people in Gaza.
So, They're going to try all these other methods to de-escalate.
It's not going to work. These people said there's only one condition for de-escalation.
Stop killing people in Gaza.
Well, they made the decision to clear out Gaza pretty much, and they're not going to go back on it.
So that means that there's going to be a war between Israel and Lebanon.
The Lebanese government has come out and told the United States and the world, we prefer a war with Israel over a civil war internally, Lebanese versus Hezbollah.
Because from the Lebanese analysis, the fragile, multicultural, multi-confessional balance of Lebanese society is barely holding on.
And a civil war would spiral into decades and decades of internal destruction and fraternicide.
People killing each other in their own country.
And we experienced this already in Lebanon for decades.
So they don't want to go down that road.
So the Lebanese government, which is sponsored by the United States, funded by the United States, has just been honest and just come out and said, yeah, we think a civil war would actually be the worst option.
And we prefer to just get blown up by Israel and just unify against a foreign threat as opposed to just killing each other within our own country.
So all the diplomatic efforts to bribe or cajole or threaten Hezbollah to stop participating in this war – It's not going to work. The only way they're going to make them stop is to stop killing people in Gaza.
They're not going to stop killing people in Gaza.
So you can see where this is going.
The people of northern Israel have been displaced from northern Israel.
They're now in like a security buffer zone that Israel has to sacrifice land to create a buffer zone between it and Lebanon.
Historically, when there was a buffer zone between Lebanon and Israel, it occurred in Lebanese land.
So the proposed solution that the Israeli government is putting forward is bringing back the same old strategy from decades past that failed, which is to make a no-man's land in southern Lebanon and force everyone from southern Lebanon to leave their homes and evacuate and be displaced essentially permanently to create a security buffer zone for Israel.
Now, Right now, if the picture of the border of Lebanon and Israel shows an Israeli town all the way up to the border and a Lebanese town all the way up to the border, essentially like this border is just a line drawn between a town.
The town probably existed there before this border.
harrison smith
John, can you stay for another five minutes in the other hour?
We're going to go back to you because I want to hear about this.
I'll find the article about something like 80,000 or more Israelis, refugees in their own country.
This is coverage that you do not get anywhere else.
I hope you appreciate it. Infowarsstore.com.
We'll be right back. Frankly, it's happened slower than I thought, but the war in Israel is spiraling out into the rest of the region.
I mean, as we speak, not only are they continuing to pound Gaza, Just, let's see, a few hours ago, over 100 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza.
Scores missing, with around 100 people still trapped under rubble in the city of Jabalia as the strikes continue there.
But then at the same time, war with Hamas has turned half a million Israelis into refugees as they have moved largely out of the northern Gaza.
Out of northern Israel and away from the Lebanese border.
Earlier today, Hezbollah attacks Israel's Iron Dome systems amid fierce clashes on Lebanon borders.
So actually striking the Iron Dome launching platform itself.
Residents in northern Israel fearful war with Hezbollah is headed their way.
And of course the conflict in Yemen with Yemen.
Denying access to the Red Sea and America is starting a 10-nation coalition.
I mean, is it happening, John?
Is this the spiraling out that we've been warning about since the conflict first began and continue, if you will, about the dead zone they're trying to create or the DMZ demilitarized zone they're trying to create between Lebanon and Israel?
@lebanon john
Yes. So, the...
Displaced people in Israel, many of them are displaced from what's called the Gaza envelope.
They don't feel safe. They have told the Israeli government that they're not going to go back and live there until the issue is completely resolved.
Similar story to the people on the border with Lebanon.
So people in southern Israel, people in northern Israel, they don't feel safe.
And that's not to mention the Golan Heights, which is, everyone knows, is going to turn into a third front as soon as things pop off.
to a certain level because the Golan Heights is full of oil.
There's a company called Genie Energy.
Rupert Murdoch is on the board.
And they are the ones who facilitate the theft of the Syrian oil, the Golan Heights being, you know, stolen in conquest.
And of course, everyone needs to remember, you know, what goes around comes around if we believe it's okay to take people's land by force in the modern age and then plunder its resources and hold it and annex it permanently.
Well, then I don't know why they're complaining about Putin.
And how would they feel when, you know, Lebanon does the same thing back to Israel?
Oh, then it's not cool, right?
So that's why you guys following international law or having morals or ethics is so important.
If we support bombing civilians, Spiritually, we're opening ourselves up to condemnation, and it's obviously not smart in the big picture.
And so all these bombs Israel is using, they're all American bombs.
They're even giving them new bombs, advanced bombs, experimental bombs, and they have depleted their arsenal to such a ridiculous level that it really, at this point, is in question how many bombs do they have left.
The bomb-making machine is going burr right now.
And they're going to be making all the bombs they can, and they're going to be making a bunch of money.
If they launched 50,000 missiles, 50,000 bombs in the last two months, which they probably have or more, and there was $10,000 profit on each unit, that means they made $500 million in profit in the last month.
The war with Hezbollah will be 10 times crazier.
In one month, it will be $5 billion in sales.
So there's a vested interest for the military-industrial complex here.
They just make ridiculous amounts of money.
500 million profit in a month.
So, if they keep this up, they're getting filthy rich.
So there's a bunch of people who like the fact that they're just wasting a bunch of missiles.
The United States taxpayer is paying for these missiles.
They're not being used in an intelligent or effective manner.
They're basically being used on people's houses and It's not what these missiles were designed for, obviously.
harrison smith
We only have about 30 seconds left, but we've seen Israeli politicians and everything say, you know, it's time to turn Lebanon into Gaza.
Basically, once we're done with Gaza, we'll move into Lebanon.
I mean, what's the likelihood of that?
@lebanon john
They have no choice because they're under so much pressure of the northern economy being shut down, and they're getting picked off by precise Esbollah strikes on military infrastructure.
All their military infrastructure and spy equipment has been wiped out on the border.
That's probably over a billion dollars of advanced equipment that has been wiped out in the past month and a half.
So they have no choice, and they have to invade Lebanon actually with troops on the ground.
That's an absolute suicide mission.
They concluded themselves in 2006.
harrison smith
Thank you so much for the call, Johnson.
It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
We'll be right back. Welcome back, folks.
I was thinking I would cover some headlines and then go to calls, cover headlines, go to calls.
We have so many good callers, and I don't want to lose you and don't want to make you wait on hold.
So we're going to go to Joe, and we're going to go to Matt in Ohio.
You called yesterday, and I don't want to...
You held and weren't able to get in, so we'll go to Matt after Joe, and then Daryl in North Carolina after that, and then the rest of the great callers.
We'll try to get to as many as possible, but that's also up to you.
If you can be as quick as possible in your comments, we'll get to more phone calls that way.
Joe from Connect Those Dots, thank you so much for calling in.
Calling in about a VR game that I haven't heard of.
The crew is telling me a little bit about it, but thanks for calling in, Joe.
How you doing? Yo, Harrison, what's up, bro?
unidentified
So the game is called Asgard's Wrath 2.
And it's a full-fledged VR RPG, like Skyrim or something like that.
Big game where you have a big open world map.
And it's completely exclusively in VR. And it's exclusive for the MetaQuest.
So that's Meta's VR, of course.
And why I'm talking about it is because it seems like it's starting to break the zeitgeist.
Because all of these new...
All of these gaming...
Companies and gaming outlets, like gaming journalists, you know, they're giving very high praises for it, giving it 10 out of 10s and all this stuff.
And when I explain this, I want people to think about Yuval Harari when he says, you will do drugs and play computer games.
And I want you to think about Klaus Schwab when he says, you will live in the metaverse and you will like it.
So once this paradigm is starting to shift, And all of these game journalists are giving it high praises and then you see in the comments from all the normies and they're like, oh my god, this is going to be the best.
VR gaming is going to take over.
I can't wait to be in VR and I don't want to be in VR. I don't I don't like that stuff.
I don't want to wear that creepy ass headset.
You know what I mean? But I do enjoy video games from time to time.
But as we're seeing this push now, and we know that they want you to wear those metaverse goggles, you know what I mean?
And they want you to freaking live in that virtual world.
So like, as this shifts, and more gaming companies are going to be like, okay, we got to make games that are VR now because VR is all the rage.
And it's just scary stuff.
harrison smith
Yeah, VR is like one of these technologies, almost like 3D, you know, video, 3D movies and stuff, where like every couple years, we've had the technology forever.
It's been decades we've had, even VR technology's been around forever, but it never quite broke through to the mainstream.
It's sort of a novelty still.
People might use it every once in a while, but it hasn't.
It's not like something that you see lots of people on all the time.
But they obviously want that to change, and I think it's interesting that this game is free, I guess.
This game that's so good that everybody loves, they're giving it out for free, which makes me think that there's a price that you don't know you're paying.
unidentified
There's some sketchy stuff going on with it, too, bro.
And that's what's really creeping me out, because I'm seeing 10 out of 10s from everywhere, and I'm just seeing this.
I spent 90 hours in this game, and I just can't wait to go back in.
I can't even think about living in my own life anymore.
And what also is sketchy about it is they had a huge advertisement for it.
I told the crew about it.
A giant hologram in the sky, lifelike hologram, Where the villain character literally breaks through the sky and has a whole speech and is intimidating and is looking crazy.
So, I mean, that's like some blue beam stuff, too, right there.
harrison smith
Right. I mean, it's creepazoid shit.
unidentified
I saw... Hey, what's your language there, sir?
harrison smith
It's in your podcast. It's in your podcast.
This is my radio show.
No. I saw a clip of this.
I didn't exactly know what it was.
I just thought it was some sort of graphic display thing.
Was that actually something they projected into the sky?
I assumed that was just graphics done post-editing.
unidentified
No, I mean, there's a bunch of people in the crowd taking video of it.
And there's a bunch of different angles and a bunch of people that posted it on TikTok from their different feeds.
So that's a legit hologram, man.
Yeah. I've seen other stuff at concerts, and they're really pushing this hologram technology.
And if I can connect a few more dots here, if you will.
harrison smith
Please do, sir. If you'll let me.
unidentified
I just watched the Netflix movie, Leave the World Behind, where it's about the cyber attacks and everything like that.
It's a terrible movie.
I give it like a two. The Obama movie.
Yeah, the Obama movie.
From a propaganda standpoint...
It's like an admission of guilt, dude.
It's like a homicide letter.
It gives you every single thing that they want to do to you, isolate you, take out your means of communication, give you disinfo so you don't know where the attacks are coming from, use frequency weapons.
They even reference Havana Syndrome and the Cuban frequency attacks.
So, I mean, dude, it goes on and on and on.
And then think about it.
If they take out the cyber network and nobody has any...
Nobody has any idea what's going on, and it's like that for years.
Let's say it's like that for years.
It becomes the new normal.
That's the new, new normal.
And then they blast out some new hologram technology.
I'm your savior.
Come with me.
Take my metaverse.
Take my mark of the beast.
I mean... I don't know, man.
It just goes on and on.
I'm rambling, but I appreciate it.
harrison smith
That's super interesting, and I had not even heard of this game before, so thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Asgard's Wrath 2, and apparently it's free to play, and it's not like I'm advertising it, and once you're in it, you'll never get to leave.
Go to AlexGhostGame.com! Yeah, alexjonesgame.com.
That's the real revolutionary.
unidentified
That's the game you want to play, y'all.
harrison smith
That's the real revolutionary video game.
Thank you so much for the call, Joe.
That's Joe from Connect Those Dots.
Follow him on Twitter at Connect Those, at Connect Those on Twitter.
Does a great podcast with a ton of great guests, including yours truly and many of us here at InfoWars.
Thanks for that call, Joe. Let's go to Daryl in North Carolina.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Daryl. Hold on.
Matt first, because I did say yesterday that I'd give him preferential treatment since he was on hold.
Matt in Ohio, you're on the air.
Thanks for calling in. Thanks, Harrison.
unidentified
How are you doing? Good, thanks. I've been trying to get in last week and this week.
There were 52 schools in Ohio that received the same bomb threat email claiming they'd be from Russia.
And from what the articles are saying, some schools in Texas also received some similar threats.
I don't know. I'd like your opinion.
This seems priming for SIOP, in my opinion.
harrison smith
Yeah, I hadn't even heard.
unidentified
Because the ADL... Yeah, well, the ADL, as you know, the saying, right-wingers are going to join with Russia.
Right. I don't know.
harrison smith
Yeah, that's interesting. So here's a story from the BBC. School bomb threats in two states not credible.
FBI said it's aware of bomb threats made to schools in Ohio and Texas, but there's no evidence that they are credible.
Investigating fake threats drains law enforcement resources.
The threats targeted public schools in the two states in recent days.
Some schools this week are ramping up security out of an abundance of caution.
In Ohio, 52 school districts received emails claiming to be from a Russian organization over the weekend.
Members from at least one school district contacted local authorities who escalated the security threat to the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
I think one thing we can be pretty clear on is that this was not, in fact, a Russian organization.
Why would a Russian organization do this?
Why would you have a Russian organization call and say, we are a Russian organization, we are going to bomb your school for Putin, and then it's all just fake and a scam?
unidentified
Yeah, they would attack infrastructure, if anything.
harrison smith
I know, they're not going to call in fake bomb threats and say who they are.
So that's pretty ridiculous.
Yeah, again, I hadn't even heard of this, but I do think that this does look an awful lot like a false flag or false flag adjacent based on the nearly identical language of the emails.
unidentified
It does have to be a real... Yeah, it doesn't have to be a real attack to cause terror.
harrison smith
Yep, and that's what they say here.
unidentified
I know parents that were worried, and one or two schools, there's always been bomb threats, but 50-plus schools in one state, that's got to be coordinated.
harrison smith
Yeah, that's quite a bit.
I will keep an eye on this.
Thank you for letting us know.
In November, similar hoax emails containing bomb threats were sent to California schools.
No problem. Yeah, thank you for making us aware of this.
Man, I'll tell you, you would think a story like that would be major news in America, but with all of the other crap we have to go through, it's like 52 bomb threats to 52 school districts.
It's like... On the fifth page, you know, behind them.
All the other articles of the crap we have to deal with continuously.
These threats are similar in content and language to threats that occurred in recent days in California and Texas.
So clearly some organization is spending resources and time and effort in a way that conceals their tracks, at least for the time being, to issue bomb threats all across America.
Who would benefit from that?
A kid trying to get out of exams, maybe.
It's a little over the top, I think.
I think it's a little over the top for your run-of-the-mill Ferris Bueller types.
But thank you for that call, and we'll keep an eye on that story.
Daryl from North Carolina on the other side.
More phone calls, more major stories, more videos still to come in today's episode of American Journal.
and I'll stay with us, folks.
unidentified
All right, folks.
harrison smith
I was asking the crew which phone calls we should go to, and they were like, well, all of them.
So we're going to go to all of them.
We're going to go to as many as we possibly can here.
Next up is Daryl in North Carolina.
Thanks for calling in. Daryl, you're on the air.
unidentified
Alright, I'm going to go quick.
I want to say first that your and John's analysis of the Middle East is the best, I think, that's out there.
I'd love to hear you guys just stick it around for an hour, you know, a few times a week.
I could listen to you guys for a while, so I just want to say that guy, he knows what he's talking about.
harrison smith
He absolutely does. Thank you for that.
Yeah, maybe we'll have to have him on for an hour sometime soon.
unidentified
He's awesome. He's awesome.
Number two, I went this morning to Liberty Daily, which is one of the best news aggregate sites.
In the morning, I was happy to see on the top headline, highlighted in red and underlined, Harrison Smith bombshell.
And it talks about that story you did about the purpose for the government-mandated vehicle kill switch.
So I was happy to see your name up there.
harrison smith
I'm humbled. That's awesome.
And thanks to our Infowars archivist, Sean, who sent me that link originally, so I wouldn't have had it without him.
So, awesome. Liberty Daily.
Very cool stuff. Look at that.
Red linked. Very cool.
I love it. Awesome.
unidentified
Thanks for letting us know that. Number three, a real quick update in my area regarding the migrant.
So, three things.
We are having a ton of highway, freeway work done, and it's all being done by these migrants because I stop and talk to them.
And they're all South and Central Americans who don't speak English.
They're digging ditches.
Another thing they're doing is they're laying in my area, they're laying fiber optic cable all over the place.
And again, they're digging ditches.
And I went out the other day, they were in my front yard laying this fiber optic.
It's about two-inch round tubing.
I'm like, what are they doing?
There's a whole group of them. I go out there, none of them speak English.
The boss, who's having them dig the trenches, all he can say is fiber optics.
So I look into it, and it's some company called Lumos, who I've never heard of, and they're laying this high-speed fiber optic.
They say it for internet all over the place, which is weird because we've got high-speed internet through cable or, you know, whatever you want.
We've already got it. So I don't know what's going on with this orange tubing being laid all around the area.
But yeah, the other places, too, this restaurant opened up called Taqueria, and they got the best barilla tacos.
No one speaks English in there.
But that's what the migrants are doing in my area.
I know in other areas it's different, but it's very visible, and there are a lot of them.
harrison smith
Yeah, you can say that again.
There's literally tens of thousands a day crossing over.
They're saying it's the worst they've ever seen.
Every day is worse than the last, and every day is the worst one they've ever seen.
And it's only getting worse, and nothing's being done to even slow it down, let alone halt it.
Which really just means that it's going to be way more difficult down the line.
It's going to be way harder to deal with this two, three years from now.
Not that we can't deal with it.
Not that we're not going to be able to deal with it.
Which is going to be harder and more expensive and possibly more violent.
And that's what we'd like to avoid. But instead, they're doing nothing to prevent these people from coming in.
And look, the thing, you know, when it comes to things like self-driving cars or the Internet of Things, the surveillance grid and all of the connectivity that they need, bandwidth is a huge limiting factor.
That's why they're doing 5G. That's why they're laying fiber optic everywhere.
Especially the self-driving cars.
One self-driving car, I mean, it has to communicate so much information at such a rapid rate and the cars themselves don't process all that information.
It's processed on servers that they're connected to online.
So... In order to facilitate their desire for all self-driving electric cars, as well as the surveillance and the digital ID, ultra-low emission zones, 15-minute cities, the thing that's limiting them, there's a lot of things limiting them, but one of the primary things limiting them is the bandwidth, that there's not enough.
That's why they're putting 5G everywhere.
That's why they're laying fiber everywhere.
It's all... Hey, what's up?
unidentified
I had a point that they're working on a canal that's supposed to go through Gaza.
It's called the Ben Gurion, G-U-R-I-O-N. And it's the Israeli Canal versus the Suez Canal that is Egyptian.
That brings in like, I don't know how many billions of dollars a year, 10 billion.
harrison smith
Upwards of a trillion, right?
I just read it out. Yeah, a third of all container traffic goes through the Suez Canal.
Yeah, I've heard about that. We've actually reported on that because a lot of people were pointing that out early on in the Gaza campaign and they were talking about that it would be necessary to...
Well, they were talking about using nuclear bombs to dig the canal.
Right. Yeah, I don't think it's...
I think it could have an...
There could be an aspect of it that's true.
I don't think it's as important as some of the other concerns when it comes to Gaza, but it would definitely be another, I guess, benefit that you could have another canal, in this case, to prevent things like what's going on now, which is Yemen shutting down the Red Sea.
If you had an alternative route, you know, potentially you could take that.
Although I guess it would still be going to the Red Sea, so I'm not even sure what the point of that would be.
unidentified
Some of these wars have like dual or multiple, you know, advantageous results.
Like in Afghanistan, I mean, the poppy fields, and then you had oil, and then you had You know, regime change.
harrison smith
You're making money from the weapons, and there's the off-sea oil field of Gaza, and also they want beachfront home property in Gaza, and also the canal, etc.
Yeah, there's lots of benefits for Israel.
The problem is that there's these gosh darn humans in the way.
What are we going to do about that?
Kill them all is the answer.
I mean, they would...
unidentified
They wouldn't build it back up, though, if they're going to put that canal in there.
So it would be a reason to destroy it.
harrison smith
Yeah, we'll see.
They've got big plans for Gaza.
They don't include Gazans, so we'll see how that goes.
Let's go to Aaron in Canada.
I want to talk about the war on Israel.
Go ahead, Aaron. We have about two minutes left in this segment.
unidentified
Hey, Harrison. How's it going?
harrison smith
Good, thank you. Yeah, big fan.
unidentified
I've been listening to you guys for Probably over 15 years.
And, yeah, I was just saying, like the other day, you were saying how people are saying that you're slanting conflict there.
And I was just kind of saying, like, you're not majorly slanting it, but there is a little bit of slant going on.
I mean, can we get some, like, I don't know, maybe some prosely...
harrison smith
You're breaking up a little bit there, Aaron.
I lost you. Can we get some pro-Israel?
Is that what you're saying? Oh, yeah.
unidentified
I'm just saying, can we get some pro-Israeli guys that you can interview and maybe some historians on just the area and the Palestinian conflicts over the years and stuff like that so it wouldn't be so slanted?
harrison smith
Sure. Is there anybody that you think would be a good representative?
unidentified
Um, I'm not really sure of who would be a good representative.
I mean, I know pastors that might come on and stuff like that, that have, like, a lot of history, like, historical knowledge of just, like, the land-based and over the years and how Israel was an ancient kingdom.
And people say that Israel was, like, created in 1948, but, I mean, it's been there for thousands of years, and then it was basically just, like, a vassal state for thousands of years.
And then eventually it became...
Israel in 1948, again, as, you know, prophesied through the Bible and stuff.
I'm just saying, like, I know the Israeli government is evil, just like all governments, and, like, I'm not down with Palestinian kids getting blown to pieces.
Like, that's terrible. But, like, it just, you know...
harrison smith
No, yeah, I appreciate your point.
I'm sorry. We are going to break here.
But I'd be happy to have somebody on to talk about it, be out right now.
I mean, the conflict is just so brutal, you know...
I do have trouble seeing the Israeli perspective, to be honest.
All right, folks, we will go out to your phone calls again.
They've been excellent so far.
And I apologize to some of the people that called in early and have been on hold, but I've been getting to phone calls as quickly as possible.
So I do appreciate you being patient with us.
Let me just get to two more stories before we go back out to phone calls.
We're going to probably end the show talking about immigration.
And it's a doozy, folks.
So stay tuned for that.
This just broke from Colin Rugg.
A new photo taken by Jeffrey Epstein himself has been released of Bill Gates, an alleged Epstein victim.
The photo was reportedly taken in 2014, years after Epstein was convicted for soliciting and procuring prostitution from a minor.
Now, the woman in the picture is a Polish model in her 20s, so I'm not even sure you could call her a victim if she's there on her own volition as an adult.
I'm not accusing Gates of victimizing this woman.
After all, 20-year-old women can be into creepy weirdo nerds.
That's their prerogative.
But it's the fact that he's there together with an associate of Epstein in a picture taken by Epstein years after Epstein was convicted for soliciting and procuring prostitution from a minor.
The woman, who has made promises by Epstein like many of his victims, was also seen in photos with Woody Allen and former CBS News journalist Charlie Rose.
The unidentified woman didn't accuse Gates of any wrongdoing.
However, the development raises more questions of why Gates was hanging out with Epstein despite knowing he was a pedophile.
Why, indeed. Why, indeed.
We also have this story.
American scientists misled Pentagon on research in Wuhan.
This from USRTK.org.
American researchers concealed their intentions to conduct high-risk coronavirus research in Wuhan under lax safety standards from the Pentagon the year before COVID-19 pandemic, according to documents obtained by U.S. Right to Know.
A 2018 grant proposal called Project Diffuse, co-authored by the Wuhan Institute of Virology and American scientists, has stoked concerns My God, we're still debating this.
It came from a lab. The only thing we're trying to determine is whether it was on purpose or not.
It's like you have somebody that's dead and they're still debating on whether he's dead.
No, he's dead. The question is, was he poisoned or did he die of natural causes?
Is there a murderer to be found out or was this all just a big accident?
He's dead. It came from a lab.
The question is, was it on purpose?
Who developed it and why?
So, it's frustrating.
Yes, it came from a lab, you absolute morons, but moving on.
It proposed engineering high-risk coronaviruses of the same species as SARS and SARS-CoV-2.
More worrying to some scientists, the proposal involved synthesizing spike proteins with furin cleavage sites, the same feature that supercharged SARS-CoV-2 into the most infectious pandemic pathogen in a century.
Indeed, some scientists have likened diffuse to a blueprint for generating SARS-CoV-2 in the lab.
The new documents obtained by U.S. Right to Know show these experiments were proposed to occur in part of Wuhan with fewer safety precautions than required in the U.S., apparently to save on costs.
Well, I guess you saved on cost.
I guess you can just offshore everything to China to save on cost.
Don't want to pay a living wage?
Use slave labor in China.
Don't want to adhere to environmental regulations despite being the one to impose them on everybody?
Outsource your manufacturing to China.
You want to create a deadly virus with the potential to infect the world and devastate the lives of millions?
Can't do it in America?
Save a couple bucks by going to China and killing everyone.
Globalism at work. The American scientists at the center of the lab leak controversy appeared to have concealed this from their desired funder, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, in order to evade any national security concerns about doing high-level biosecurity work.
In China, the documents call into question the credibility of these scientists' assurances that the pandemic could not have sprung out of their collaboration.
The documents showing how they planned to do this sort of undermines their claims that they had nothing to do with it.
I guess that's true. I guess that's right.
Yeah, the fact you're covered in blood sort of undermines your claims that you didn't stab the guy to death.
To continue our murder analogy.
U.S. Rights to Know obtained an early draft of Diffuse with comments from PD and BRS. Emails show these commenters to be Peter Daszak and Ralph S. Barrick.
Who you'll know if you're a regular viewer of InfoWars.
DASIC leads EcoHealth Alliance, an organization that discovers novel viruses.
BEREC helms a University of North Carolina lab with a focus on coronaviruses.
Chapel Hill, if I'm not mistaken.
Both Daszak and Barak have worked with the Wuhan Institute of Virology on gain-of-function research, making coronaviruses more deadly or infectious.
The formal diffuse grant proposal states that Barak in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, will engineer the coronavirus spike proteins to test their ability to infect human cells.
But in a comment on an early draft of the proposal, Daszak clarifies that the Wuhan Institute of Virology will in fact do much of this work, but that this is excluded from the formal proposal to make DARPA comfortable.
To make DARPA comfortable. The comment is addressed to Barrick and Wuhan Institute of Virology Senior Scientist Jingli Xi.
This is smoking gun, folks.
This is a absolute smoking gun.
They lied to DARPA In order to get funding by saying they were doing work here that was actually being done in Wuhan.
They didn't want it done in Wuhan because of national security concerns and because of lax security measures at the Wuhan Institute.
They recognized this.
They knew this. And so they lied in their application claiming that it was being done in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
This is the smoking gun.
Literally. Like if this was a murder case, this would be the fingerprints on the gun, the text message between the I told the cops I was here so they don't find out that I was actually at the murder scene.
I mean, we've known that he was involved in the Wuhan Institute.
We've known that he was working with the CIA. Peter Daszak because of a whistleblower.
We know that they created the virus in the lab.
We know that they covered it up. We've known all of this, but this here, the fact that they went out of their way and Daszak himself makes a note on an early draft of the proposal saying we're going to leave out the fact it's being done at Wuhan because otherwise DARPA would be uncomfortable and wouldn't let them do it.
Absolutely incredible. Absolutely incredible.
In another comment, Daszak says he sought to, quote, downplay the non-U.S. focus of this proposal to DARPA by not highlighting the involvement of the Chinese researchers, Xi and Duke and U.S. medical school professor Linfa Wang.
Quote, I'm planning to use my resume in Ralph's, Daszak wrote.
Linfa Gingali, I realize your resumes are also very impressive, but I'm trying to downplay the non-U.S. focus of this proposal so that DARPA doesn't see this as a negative.
What do you do to murder suspects when you have incontrovertible evidence it was them?
unidentified
Okay.
harrison smith
You take them to trial.
unidentified
Depends on the race. Yeah, it depends on the race.
harrison smith
Good news, Peter Daszak's a white guy, so he's going to get the full force of the justice system, I can only imagine.
I can only imagine. That is a huge story.
I just perused this story before bringing it to air.
So I knew it was legit, but I did not realize how thoroughly they busted this wide open.
USRTK.org, which I imagine stands for US right to know.
They actually found Daszak himself admitting that he lied on his application for DARPA funds in order to downplay, disguise, and conceal His cooperation with the Chinese government, likely in concert with the CIA, who we know from whistleblowers he was in fact in contact with just prior to this breaking out.
Whoa. In a comment on the document, Barrick acknowledged that U.S. researchers would, quote, freak out if they knew the novel coronavirus engineering and testing work was being conducted in a BSL-2 lab.
In the U.S., these recombinant SARS-CoV are studied under BSL-3, not BSL-2, especially important for those who are able to bind and replicate in primary human cells.
In China, these might be growing these viruses under BSL-2.
U.S. researchers will likely freak out.
The lab didn't have enough security.
They created the lab, the furin cleavage sites and spike proteins that made it infectious to humans.
They weaponized it.
They lied in their application to DARPA to achieve this.
This is a smoking gun.
This is a smoking cannon.
unidentified
This might be the biggest story of the day.
Hello, hello, hello, blue.
harrison smith
Welcome back, folks. Out to your phone calls here shortly.
Breaking news. Minutes ago, over 170 people with Jeffrey Epstein links to be named in 2024 court documents.
Judge rules to reveal documents in 2024 that would name 177 does, John does, who are Jeffrey Epstein's friends, recruiters and victims.
A powerful circle of friends linked to the convicted sex offender will be exposed as part of a comprehensive unsealing ordered by a Manhattan federal judge, New York Post reported.
Very interesting. There are apparently 177 individuals set to be revealed in documents offering new insights.
I think a game of bingo might be in order.
I think we may have to make up our own list and see how close we get.
Play a little pedophile bingo.
I-24, it's Bill Clinton.
It's Bill Gates.
It's Joe Biden.
It's Joe Biden's brother who happens to own the island next door.
Very interesting stuff.
With that, we go out to your phone calls.
Fratrilineal in Buffalo.
Let's talk about the Yemen attacks.
Go ahead. Fratrilineal, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello. Okay.
harrison smith
Hi, good morning. Okay.
unidentified
Excuse me, Harrison.
Hey. Hello. My apologies.
I'll try to be quick here. Can you hear me?
harrison smith
Go ahead. Go ahead. All right.
unidentified
So, first and foremost, I'm calling as a member of the Rosa Christian Order of Alpha and Omega.
I'm a current member. Just wanted to elaborate quickly regarding the Houthis and everything that's going on in the Middle East currently.
So, as a current member, you know, as a ceremonial magician, we...
We cover a lot of the spiritual stuff.
I do want to elaborate. I am a Christian.
I know it's very controversial saying this, but there's a lot of misconceptions with the Order.
Quickly, we despise Aleister Crowley.
Actually, we hate the fact that there's affiliations with Crowley with us.
My teacher is David Griffin, known as Greater Honored Broader S.E.M. So a lot of this stuff has to do with a lot of the Jinn magic that's going on in the Middle East currently.
And as far as the Houthis, these individuals are all being influenced currently by a lot of spirits that's currently manipulating, I would say, the masses at this point.
This having to do with the Sabbatine Zevi Jews that are...
If we go back in history, Sabatian Zebi was a Jew, a mystic, who was living under the Ottoman Empire, was then converted to Islam because of the threat of being, you know, obviously beheaded.
harrison smith
He was an early Zionist, wasn't he?
unidentified
Right, yeah. That's what we would say that a lot of Zionism comes from, or at least perversion of these practices, because in essence, the practices that we hold are sacred in essence.
It's about What you do.
In other words, you have a gun.
The gun isn't what's evil.
It's what you do with the gun that determines whether it's good or evil.
Same thing with the order.
We have ancient technology, which is the best way I can put it to you, that has been preserved.
It does come from the practices of the Hebrews.
A lot of the stuff has been preserved with the rabbis.
Unfortunately, it has been tainted because of the intentions of individuals with selfish desires, like the psychopaths we have in political leadership.
A lot of these individuals utilizing this, what we call magic or sorcery in this case, because they invoke demonic forces, kleptotic forces, if we're looking at it from a Kabbalistic perspective.
And they utilize this for the evil and selfish desires of men.
Mark Passio, which was a guest that you guys had several years ago, covers this, known as demystifying the occult, as to how we utilize the psychological mind, how this is connected with energetic, psychic energetic manipulation, which every person in the world has inherent abilities which every person in the world has inherent abilities to do it.
It's about how you harness this ability.
So, again, we have to demystify this because a lot of people say, you know, they're like, oh, it's evil.
It has nothing to do with it.
Everybody has capability because we all have the Ruach HaKodesh, which in Hebrew is the Holy Spirit.
This is the dynamo for the spirit or for the individual to be able to perform any miracles.
It is how a person is interconnected with God.
And the ability to be able to do these things.
Again, it's been lost in translation because of the watered-down Christianity that a lot of us have had, but I don't want to get into a ramble here.
Basically, a lot of the things that is going on in the Middle East for Yemen, there's a lot of jinn magic, or individuals that utilize jinn, which is a form of Middle Eastern spirit.
harrison smith
D-J-I-N-N, yeah, that's where genie comes from.
unidentified
Yeah, right.
That's where the word genie comes from.
harrison smith
Yeah, and I know there's a lot of Muslim mysticism, and I assume Jewish mysticism as well, that talks about harnessing jinn and demonic entities.
But I'm a little bit wary about your fractionalennial.
I don't believe that this could be used for a good thing.
I think there's a reason that these things get misused.
unidentified
And a lot of this has to do with discipline.
At least the tradition or where we rooted out from, we come from, this stuff was kind of revitalized in the early 1900s, 1999.
The Rosencruzian Order of Outflare Omega reopened itself.
It closed down 100 years prior to 1999.
And it was revitalized by Nikolaus Terenschenko, which was a Ukrainian nobility coming from the last czars of the Russian Empire.
And so this was revitalized as a lot of the Jewish individuals that were under the Bolshevik oppression— A lot of this stuff was kind of dying down because if you knew this, you were persecuted, ultimately.
And so again, it's laid in the hands of wrong individuals through time.
And again, there's a division between light Freemasonry, dark Freemasonry, and this is what we're facing today.
You have individuals such as myself who represent Christianity.
I know this is kind of controversial saying this, but there's esoteric Christianity, which goes back to the roots of the Essenes, Jesus Christ and the Essenes.
And how, you know, there was a form of, between the man and the wife, harnessing sexual powers through the sacred act of making love, obviously, and utilizing to, you know, connect with that.
Again, this is going to be controversial.
harrison smith
Yeah, it is a little controversial.
unidentified
Very. And it goes back to anthropology.
harrison smith
We have to try to go back to the rules.
Resisting the urge to rebuke you in the name of Jesus.
I'm a little bit suspicious of this.
So tie this into Yemen and what's going on in Yemen.
unidentified
So as far as, I mean, I know they're kind of rambling on, but as far as this connecting into yeming, as far as the point that this comes down to a spiritual connection, a spiritual, this starts, this is all sourced out spiritually.
And people don't understand that, you know, at this moment, there's influences or spiritual influences coming from all over the world.
There's different influences. Mm-hmm.
Spiritual influences, individuals being possessed, doing irrational things.
harrison smith
Right. And a lot of these things, whether or not they even have a reality in the spiritual realm, that reality can manifest when enough people believe it.
The effects tend to come to pass.
The prophecies are fulfilled, whether we like them or not.
It's very interesting stuff.
I'll have to look into some of the things that you've mentioned today.
Should have been taking notes.
unidentified
Yeah, for sure. As I mentioned, you guys had Mark Passio before.
Looking to Mark Passio.
I mean, I'm sure you're familiar with them, but individuals who haven't.
Looking to Mark Passio.
Any other members of the order as well, I encourage you guys to, if you guys listen to Alex and Harrison here, speak up a little more on certain things just so we can, like, shed light into some of these things and demystify it.
I know, again, that's very controversial, but it's good if we shed light to this stuff.
harrison smith
Well, sunlight's the best disinfectant.
So, you know, we'll look into it and figure out what it's all about one way or the other.
Thank you so much for the call, Fratrilineal.
Certainly a unique call, a unique topic I haven't heard discussed very much.
