Need to Know (23 April 2021) with Michael Ivey and Chris Weinert
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, where I'm very happy to be joined today by Michael Ivey in Asheville, North Carolina, and Chris Weinhart in Detroit, Michigan.
We're here to bring you all the news you need to know.
That begins with, we don't want you here, BLM protesters are harassing diners in New York City.
They're claiming they need to get out of town.
We don't want you here.
We won't want your effing money, they chanted.
The protest turns its sights on sidewalk diners as the crowd shouts, get the eff out of New York.
We don't want you here.
They then make reference to it being owned by white people and gentrifiers.
The BLM crowd continue to march through the street.
While heated, no major acts of violence appear to have occurred, as has happened in other cities like Portland.
The Oregonian showed someone punching a Portland police officer, for example, resulting in a large scuffle.
Here's another report about it.
This is completely outrageous.
Who the hell do these people think they are?
Get the F out of New York.
We don't want you here.
It could well be said to them, get the F out of New York.
We don't want you here.
We don't want your money.
We don't want your effing Taqueras owned by white men.
This is outrageous.
They can't, before another demonstration, suggest diners tip 30% of their income.
Harassing people who are trying to eat their dinner has become a speciality of BLM since the start of this summer.
Why did Antifa burn down Portland after her chauvin was convicted on all counts?
Violence broke out near a TriMet bus stop at Southwest 6th Avenue in Jefferson, with one demonstrator landing a punch with the face of a motorcycle or bike officer, thought to be Sergeant John Oliphant, sending him sprawling onto the ground.
Officers then tackled the 36-year-old demonstrator and struck him multiple times.
Another, taken into custody, was blamed for smashing windows, arrested with a glass punch tool and a can of spray paint.
The area affected by the criminal activity was contained within a few blocks of downtown Portland, the police announced.
In an interview with the Portland Courthouse Square, Beaverton resident Lisa Dayson, 50, explained she'd been watching the Chauvin trial live since the beginning.
I was glad to see the jurors being sane, actually weighing the real evidence, and found him guilty.
As a white woman, I don't know how to feel for anybody in society, but I'm glad it came out the right way.
Meanwhile, Portland is unrecognizable as Antifa and BLM storm through the streets, destroying everything.
Michael, your thoughts?
Well, during the Chauvin trial, we all were speculating that they would probably have a hung jury or an acquittal just in order to provide justification for this kind of rioting and looting.
But as it turns out, they didn't need it.
So, you know, they've continued to riot and burn in Portland.
And in my mind, that's because this is not a real protest.
This is not a real protest movement.
It's a paid and highly organized and orchestrated Soros and Zionist-backed color revolution being applied to the United States.
And they're running all these racial strife things in order to justify it in the public mind, but that's not what it really is.
Yeah, I think those are correct observations.
And of course, a white woman was completely mistaken.
The evidence of the law required an acquittal, or at worst, a hung jury, which actually turns out to be what Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, and the others on the radical left wanted.
So they're unhappy with it having been a guilty verdict, ironically enough.
Chris, your thoughts?
Yeah, I knew either way, whether it went good or bad for them, that they would find an excuse to turn this into a political operation where they send in these mercenaries guys, these fundamentalists, to really run people off their property to target the middle class for supposed wage inequality, which to me doesn't make much sense.
But if you look at the robber barons that have run this empire and this cabal for as long as they have throughout time, throughout different empires, They've often used street thugs, outlaws, and lawmen alike to run people out of resource-laden areas.
Whether you're talking the thuggies in India, the outlaws in the Wild West, or the sham wars in the frontiers, or even the ethnic mafias that you've seen throughout the industrialized eras.
So they often bring in the violence and sensationalize it with the media to bring an element of fear.
Basically to create a limbic reaction so that one way or another you either cater to or directly absolutely oppose the lunacy that's going on.
And more importantly that you'll ascribe it to some sort of a political Distraction or diversion instead of the real issue at hand.
So yeah, if they're really worried about wage inequality or going after the people responsible for slavery, they probably go after the people in the Trilateral Commission that are probably putting them out there or through the Soros NGOs that are doing this in the first place.
But I don't think these people are in any way interested in the truth or interested in really pursuing justice in terms of fundamentals.
They are just using this as an economic opportunity that they're being richly rewarded to contribute to this chaos.
Oh, yeah, you're right, Michael.
Yes, you had an additional.
I just wanted to say a word on Maxine Waters.
I don't I don't see her as an independent operator, just a crazy off the wall person.
I think she is sort of a designated race baiter, if you will, in this whole racial paradigm that they're trying to place on the United States.
She's evidently tasked with ginning up as much racial hatred for the white population as possible.
And in that sense, she reminds me of the role that Al Sharpton played for many years, which was pretty much the same thing, except it wasn't to this degree.
Great point, Michael.
Can I jump back in?
Please do.
Hey, yeah, what I was going to say, Michael, great points.
Al Sharpton was a notorious FBI informant as well as Hitman for many mafia families in the New York area and in the East Coast.
So great stuff.
I think that these people are operators.
They're almost put on like in terms of the commedia del artes.
Where in the political theater, they have their own ascribed roles, whether it's the scaramouche or the skirmisher, whatever you'd say, or the one that will try to provoke limbic reactions or racial responses, you know, that can appeal to selective tokenism and punish any sort of opposition to this and ascribe it to the tokenism in itself, you know, racism or whatever it might be.
Any resistance is racism or, you know, and in reality, any logical resistance is passively, aggressively being thrown out of the conversation.
I think describing Maxine as a racial provocateur is very illuminating, Michael.
I like that.
Thank you for that observation.
I think you're spot on.
And here she is, by the way, if you want to see her in action.
Here we go.
Hey, Fetz, didn't she come up from the Rodney King thing?
Isn't that correct?
You heard me or not?
I can't I can't hear the video.
Okay.
Hey Feds, didn't Maxine Waters come up after the Rodney King thing?
I thought that was like she kind of made a sensationalized career over that issue back in the 90s.
Or was she around before that?
I don't know.
I haven't looked up her history.
See if I can get it set right.
Chris, that sounds about right time-wise.
I don't know for sure, but sounds about the first time that I... The first time I ran across there was the Rodney King stuff in the 90s, and that was proven to be accelerated by the COINTELPRO, the Ramparts thing to the LAPD.
There was a lot of stuff involved with that that were... Oh, go ahead.
Well, let me see if I can get this to play right, and you can hear it.
Here we go.
If we can't protect the children, we can't protect anybody.
If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
And you push back on them.
And you tell them they're not welcome.
The people are going to turn on them.
They're going to protest.
They're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the president, no, I can't hang with you.
Not in D.C.!
Not in the U.S.!
Not in D.C.!
Not in the U.S.!
Our issue is strong borders, no crime.
Their issue is open borders.
Let MS-13 all over our country.
That's what's going to happen if you listen to them.
You gotta miss that guy.
Meanwhile, George Floyd Autonomous Zone issues rules for white people.
Get this, you guys.
The George Floyd Autonomous Zone in Minneapolis has issued a list of rules for white people they must abide by to enter the area.
Remember, this is a public place, this is a public street, a public intersection paid for by the taxpayers.
The zones popped up around the area where Floyd died come to resemble something akin to a religious cult encampment.
Apparently, baptism, miracles, and other spiritual events can be witnessed on a regular basis.
Entering the area as a white person, however, comes with potential risks if you make the mistake of behaving in a problematic manner.
All visitors are asked to wear face masks and act with humility, but a lengthier list of rules for white people explains how they will be treated differently.
Whites are asked to de-center themselves, which is a euphemism for a mandate to behave like a second-class citizen and keep quiet.
Be mindful of whether your volume, pace, and movements are supporting or undermining your efforts to de-center yourselves.
The patronizing tone continues with a demand to contribute to the energy of the space rather than drain it.
The rules also state white people should seriously consider whether taking photos is appropriate, seek consent of anyone they photograph, despite the whole area being public.
They encourage whites to intervene if they witness white folks doing problematic things, which presumably includes doing anything other than engaging in slavery's worship for the 21st century deity that is George Floyd.
Black Lives Matter groups routinely issue demands of white people for their events, which enforce outright segregation.
As we highlighted, a group of Black Lives Matter protesters in Minneapolis were caught on camera telling a white liberal ally, you're white, you don't belong, demanding he leave the area.
And of course, as we've discovered, following the conviction of Derek Chauvin, BLM mobs descended on diners in New York, telling white restaurant owners to get the F out of the city.
Here we have, as outrageous as it gets, a Minneapolis City Council candidate, former city employee, encouraging riders to burn down wealthy neighborhoods.
She's encouraged them, if they feel like burning shit down, to target wealthy communities.
Margarita Rita Ortega wrote on her personal Facebook page that the poor community is not your oppressors.
Claim that the wealthy community of Lakes of the Isle has more than needed.
Just a personal thought, just in case y'all feel like burning shit down, the poor community is not your oppressors.
FYI, Lake of the Isles has more than needed and won't be missed.
Prior to running for city council, she was a policy aide at the Minneapolis City Hall, spent 10 years in city government.
In a subsequent post, she doubled down, saying that wealthy neighborhoods have the insurance and means to rebuild.
The vision has been created and continues, not by my hands.
I'm not the greedy one living in million-dollar mansions while people are sleeping in tents and on the street.
Alpha News Minnesota pointed out she was profiled in the Washington Post Monday and said she has always felt we've never really needed the police.
The only way forward is abolishing the police.
No institution should be allowed to murder in our communities with impunity.
Abolish, abolish.
Michael, your thoughts?
The wording in that previous article, slavish worship for the 21st century deity that is George Floyd.
It's just amazing to me that they have taken a guy like that with the background that he has and made him a saint.
It reminded me of that phrase that we made up for him, St.
George patron saint of false flags.
What they're calling an autonomous zone in Minneapolis right now, when I saw that it was like an echo or reminiscent of the Many now, no-go zones that have been established in European countries where they're being overrun with African and Muslim invaders, and those invaders are in turn being recruited and transported to European countries by Jewish-owned and operated NGOs.
And speaking of Minneapolis, aren't there over 250,000 Somalis in Minneapolis now?
So, you know, it goes back to a theme that we keep coming back to with all this unchecked immigration, and that's the Kutinov-Kalergi Plan.
The Rothschilds loved it in the 20s, and they put it into motion, and they've been working it since the end of World War II.
They never wanted a populace of white Christians to get into position of challenging their dominance in the world like Germany did in the 1930s.
Well, Michael, that resonates with a sound of truth.
Chris, your thoughts?
Yeah, I think that really the way that they're pinpointing this whole thing, it's a political schism where they have half of the truth being focused towards one demographic, the left liberals, the other half of the truth being focused towards the right and the conservatives.
And each of these truths has been isolated from the others in their own echo chambers and their own infrastructures of distribution of information to the mainstream media and even alt media as well.
One is labeling the man as a bootleg saint, as a hero, as a hooker with a heart of gold, whatever you want to call it.
The other side is labeling him as a fentanyl overdoser, infracture of police protocol, resisting arrest, whatever you might call it.
So this is a traditional thing that they've often done, playing these two sides against each other in terms of the middle class and the common folk.
Trying to invoke invoke these type of things where they sensationalize and aggrandize these these people they give them notoriety and in many cases it's just a common thing that is blown out of proportion and certainly sensationalized by the media and turned into a political operation in the way that this has been.
And it serves as a cover fire for them to put in these fundamentalist, these mercenaries guys as
fundamentalists for the land grab that they're trying to put on. And I think this is like the
Wall Street, the United Nations, the foreign owned financial interest, you know, whether it's Black
Rock or Berkshire Hathaway or any of these Rockefeller Rothschild type things. They're
trying to run property owners out of town. They're trying to run them out of these sanctuary cities
and turn in these cities into 5G mega cities run by fangs in the Fed. And these NGOs are probably
funding much of this stuff. And the Fortune 500 are not only complying with this lunacy, but in
many cases provoking it and capitulating to it. So it goes a step farther. And I think this is kind
of a thing where they're trying to encourage the dialogue into words arson in terms of the leader
that you're talking about there.
And it's not a first time that they've done that in terms of the ADL or the JWO or any of these things.
It's like a Tohu and Tekun, a creation and destruction.
And I think that they really use these things not only to create more infrastructure to justify more budgetary expenses for law enforcement.
And basically the common man loses because they pretty much put more jackboots out on the streets and over militant ones in that matter.
They always protect the 1% and they always turn us against each other and overlook and look the other way when we have any issues.
So I think that these riots are certainly going to be targeting the common man and giving the billionaires a free pass as always because these guys are probably abroad and they're certainly not hanging around here waiting for their warp speed to be put on to themselves.
I'm sure they want nothing to do with any of that stuff.
You don't see them eating GMOs, taking vaccines or wearing masks.
This is for us, and this is really them turning our lives into the Hunger Games.
Fascinating.
Michael, your additional thoughts?
Yeah, the first thing that Chris said, there was a great point, and I haven't talked about that before, but I've been aware of it for quite some time, is the absolute Bifurcation that we're experiencing in media sources.
It's no doubt a planned thing, and it gets back to the principal weapon in this war in the human mind, and that is control of that media.
This bifurcation in our society is always characterized by the sources of their information.
I saw a great cartoon the other day, and it was a man and a woman sitting at their computers back to back.
You can see the woman's screen, and it had left liberal sources, and the man's screen had right conservative sources, and both of them were thinking, I just don't understand you.
They did it back in the old days too.
We think the suffragette movements or things like that and trying to turn men and women against each other since the 1900s.
All of these things, even the abolitionist movement before that.
This is the media's job is to really target the heart and soul and the operating parameters of both men and women,
different races, it's like Jim Crow all over again, or even the civil rights weaponization in the 60s,
where they got the FBI running things like COINTELPRO and provoking these things and the media sensationalizes it
and ascribes it to a totally different truth.
You know, you get this plumbing narrative that completely distracts us from the real issues
at hand here, I think, in many cases.
Oh, I got that kind of division right in my own home because my wife will leave every word
out of Rachel Maddow's mouth, whereas I'm much more disposed to Tucker Carlson,
who's reporting, by the way, has been completely brilliant lately, just sensational.
If anyone wants to see really good dissections of the current issues, check it out.
Meanwhile, we had the Obama adviser, Valerie Jarrett.
Who is an anti-police activist slamming the cop for bringing a gun to a knife fight.
I'm so glad this took place because we had a cop in Columbus who arrived at a fray between two black girls where the larger was about to lunge a very huge knife into the younger and he shot her where even Don Lamond has admitted that it was a justifiable shoot.
But here's what Valerie, here's what Brie Newsome tweeted.
Teenagers have been fighting, have fights, including fights involving knives for eons.
We do not need police to address these situations by showing up at the scene and using a weapon against one of the teenagers.
You all need help.
I mean that sincerely.
Well, I say someone needs help, but it's not the police.
This young black girl had her life saved by him approaching the situation.
Here's further.
Frightening level of oppressive conditioning.
Absolutely frightening.
Everyone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of self-sufficiency, but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children and communities.
Frightening.
Many police, of course, are not white officers.
Rutgers University professor Whitney Cooper also weighed in to criticize the officer for being a gun to a knife fight.
A black girl is dead because cops brought a gun to a knife fight, Cooper said.
If you don't know how to de-escalate teenage Girls who are fighting, you should not be a police officer.
This is just absurd.
Anyone who watches the video will see.
The officer had to act in a split second.
One of those girls was going to be dead.
It was a very large knife.
She was about to plunge into the smaller black girl.
Yet we get Rubbish like this.
A lot of you will walk away from this and soothe yourself with the language that this was justified.
It is neither just nor justified.
A black girl is dead.
Any of your framework of policing justifies this.
You are part of the problem.
I am done.
After getting pushed back, she bashed her critics for white-splaining to her.
The video showed the officer was justified.
There are a lot of white people over here white explaining why should they watch video of the cop killing a black girl and be why the cops had to kill that black girl.
Since you don't know me, first F off and the clique you claim, go TF away.
Valerie Jarrett, president of the Barack Obama Foundation, also criticized the cop who shot Brian for immediately deciding to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight.
A black teenage girl named Mahia Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight.
This is just absurd.
She was about to plunge this large knife into this girl's body.
One of the black girls was going to be dead.
He shot the assailant.
Completely appropriate.
Forgive me for whitesplaining, but normally a knife fight involves two people trying to stab one another, rather than one person trying to stab someone holding a dog who is wincing in fear.
Incidentally, the video shows Bryant was shot at the exact point she was thrusting the knife down at her victim, for what may have been a fatal blow.
I agree.
And meanwhile, look how they're focusing on relatively rare incidents, fewer than one per million of blacks killed by whites.
From statistics in 2013, 55 more times are blacks killed by blacks.
About 10 times in a million whites are killed by blacks, and whites are killed by whites.
But 55 times as often blacks are killed by blacks or blacks killed by whites.
And look at the New York City crime statistics.
There's overwhelming racial disparity.
Shootings, 75% Black, 22% Latino, 97% of the shootings arrests were Black or Hispanic.
Murder, 62% Black, 32% Latino, 94% Black or Latino.
of the shootings arrests were black or Hispanic murder.
62% black, 32% Latino, 94% black or Estino.
Rape, 46% Latino, 43% black, 89% of the rape arrests were black or Latino.
If New York City were all white, rapes would be down 83%, murder 91, shooting 96.
And the latest report I have is with all the defunding of police in New York City, rapes are up 400%.
Michael, your thoughts.
Yeah, I guess all those BLM protesters who want the white business owners to move out of New York are going to get their wish at this rate.
The thing with Makia Bryant, we had two black women fighting.
One with a knife, and I never got the the race of the officer who shot her.
Y'all know that?
He was a white guy.
Okay, I was gonna say that that didn't fit into the race narrative at all, but it seems like the race narrative has been expanded to be anti-police in general.
So our Is the media now going to canonize this Makia Bryant woman?
She fits the criteria for sainthood.
She's a black criminal who got killed by a police officer, so that should put her there.
Another thing about that is that Mike Rivero reported yesterday that NBC News was caught photoshopping the knife out of the black woman's hand.
But the original video of it had already escaped onto the net so that they couldn't get away with that little ploy.
But it's highly instructive as to the nature of the media that we're dealing with.
I saw a T-shirt that I liked the other day, and I think I want one for myself, that's rather than defund the police, it says, defund the media.
It's the number one weapon Nice points.
Chris, your thoughts?
Yeah, I could even take it to the next level and say maybe defund Congress.
These guys participate and fund more violence, more deaths around the world than any particular organization that I could think of.
So maybe they'd be a good place to start in terms of drone strikes or wars or mercenaries or energy grabs or land grabs or any of these things.
So yeah, as far as how this stuff goes on in the field, it's real tough for officers to differentiate between these situations, life or death ones.
In this case, it looked like it was pretty bad, and I understand an officer would have to step in, doesn't matter what the race is.
And the fact that this is being turned into a racial issue.
These are two black girls obviously fighting with each other and a white cop that intervened.
This to me seems like they're trying to set up some sort of a situation just like the Chauvin case and all that.
And, you know, most of these cops, they're over militant, they're trained in Israel to basically to put people in these death locks or in these really tough situations.
If you think about the surplus military hardware that the Obama initiatives put into the police departments, they turn these these policemen who are there to protect and serve into like anti personnel militant operatives like like black forces you know what I mean like special ops forces black ops.
Certainly not a racial thing, of course, but, you know, say that to these guys and they'll probably take it that way.
So I have to say, at some point in time, there's a subjective reality that these people are really distorting in terms of perception and ascribing, you know, to these absurdities, racial issues, things that are certainly nothing of that matter, but try explaining that to them.
They can't let the truth get in the way of a good story, especially one that pulls on racial heartstrings and selective tokenism.
So I have to say, these are the same people, the congressman that I'm talking about defunding.
We're also the same ones that funded the CIA to run in drugs into these communities in the 80s and 90s, you know, the tough on crime bills, the for profit prisons, the three strikes status.
They're the ones that are funding these immigration people to come in and undermine U.S.
labor on all fronts.
And then, for that matter, claiming to be the patriots of United States labor while pretty much selling out United States labor to anybody in any country on Earth.
So, yeah, these guys have pretty much betrayed everybody on all fronts.
And this is their last card to play is this race card, this sensationalized violence thing where everybody looks at the misdirection or the distraction instead of the real issue, like I say.
So I don't understand if they expect this guy to be like Steve Wilkos, the bouncer on the Jerry Springer Show or whatever, but you know, you're right about those racial demographics and the crime statistics.
It is truly apples and oranges and molehills and mountains in many of these instances that are being turned into racial ones.
So Yeah, I think we want to start somewhere.
You go after the robber barons running the mainstream media and these fortune 500 companies, the ones that are trying to get all mom and parents out of into the workforce and out of the house and the kids to be raised by their operatives in the education system so that they can pretty much turn them against their own best interest as you're seeing now with these kids in this day and age.
Nice.
Very nice.
Meanwhile, we'll be right back.
Get this.
Here's a pretty fascinating report.
Well, I did tell you that within 24 hours of the George Floyd trial wrapping up that the Black Lives Matter movement would have a new saint to rally behind.
And they found one in 16-year-old whatever-her-name-was out of Columbus, Ohio, who tried to stab two different girls.
And then a police officer thankfully saved them by putting her down.
You probably saw the video by now, but I'm going to show you and tell you what nobody else will.
And that is the whole truth about what really happened.
The reason that the footage from the body cam got released so soon is because the girl's aunt held a press conference shortly after the incident and completely lied about what happened, whipping Twitter into a frenzy as usual.
You know what they did?
She didn't have no knife.
Tell the truth.
They came up to this 15-year-old girl, shot her four times!
Tell the truth.
The knife was on the ground!
Shot her four f***ing times!
Okay?
Yeah, she had a knife in her hand, but it was way before they shot her!
She had already dropped the knife, and the news was reporting some bulls***!
Of course the body cam footage from the officer shows exactly what happened and he knew the situation that he was getting into as soon as he pulled up because whoever called 911 reported that somebody had a knife and was trying to stab people.
And how stupid was this girl to attack the others as soon as the police actually pulled up?
An intelligent person would have ran into the house and then denied that there was a knife at all.
They wouldn't have actually continued to use it right in front of the cop.
And why wasn't her dad arrested for attacking the other girl?
Because it appears that it was him who tried to kick her in the head after the daughter already threw her to the ground and tried to stab her.
It looks like she's a foster kid and those were her foster parents, so she's from a single mother and you're not supposed to talk about the problems of single mothers and fatherless homes in certain communities, which is the norm.
About 75% of them, by the way, because that's considered to be RACIST!
Of course, anybody with an ounce of common sense knows that that is the root of most problems in society, but if you can't admit what the problem is to begin with, then you certainly can't get to work on solving it, and it's much easier for certain people to just blame white people instead.
We saw the footage the police officer ordered her numerous times to stop attacking the girls before he did what needed to be done in order to save one of them from getting stabbed.
And shortly after it happened, the words four times were one of the top trends on Twitter from so many Black Lives Matter activists complaining that he shot her four times saying maybe he could have just done it once instead or fired a warning shot.
Of course, these morons don't understand how hard it is to hit a moving target, even at close range, and firing one or two shots could easily miss the intended target, which wouldn't have stopped her from stabbing the other girl.
Then the lunatics complain that he didn't use his taser.
First of all, he was out of range.
Second of all, tasers often miss their intended target, and you need both of the prongs to actually hit, and stick doesn't always work through thick And he knew from the 911 call that there was a suspect with a knife at the scene, which is why he had his weapon ready when he approached them.
Barack Obama's former senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, among many others, took to Twitter to spew completely idiotic opinions about the situation.
She said, quote, a black teenage girl named whatever her name was.
I'm not going to play their game and deify these people.
First of all, it wasn't a knife fight because only one person had a knife.
It was an attempted stabbing.
in order to break up a knife fight, demand accountability, fight for justice, she says.
Hashtag Black Lives Matter. First of all, it wasn't a knife fight because only one person had
a knife. It was an attempted stabbing. Second of all, this officer should really be commended for
deciding to act immediately and potentially saving that other girl's life.
And since celebrities know what's best, LeBron James, best known for bouncing a ball around to entertain people, posted a picture of the alleged officer who was involved in the incident and then said, you're next.
No tweets about that 7-year-old girl in Chicago who was killed when her and her father were sitting in their car waiting at a fast food drive-thru, however.
No celebrities are stepping up to pay for her funeral.
Her family's not being interviewed on CNN and other major media outlets 24-7 to denounce gun violence.
No, no.
Her story was a 15-second soundbite on the news and it's forgotten.
If you were to watch the local news in Chicago, sadly, stories like this happen all the time.
Kids get killed in gang crossfire on a regular basis.
And years ago, somebody told me how many people get shot in Chicago on an average holiday weekend, like a three-day weekend.
I thought they were totally nuts.
And they told me to look it up.
And I pulled out my phone and I looked it up.
And sure enough, on like Labor Day, Memorial Day, and Fourth of July weekends, year after year after year, it's dozens.
And when I say dozens, I mean many dozens.
It's like 50 people.
One year I think it was 68 people over one holiday weekend.
68 people over a weekend.
This side of NBC Chicago.
Last May, when the George Floyd riots first kicked off, that weekend alone in Chicago, more than 80 people shot, 21 killed.
And just like I predicted, the story about that mass shooting at a local college bar in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where three people were killed and another three injured, vanished from the headlines and from the airwaves as soon as the identity of the suspect became known.
And Like I mentioned in a previous video, the actual identity of the suspect became dumped down the memory hole as well because just pointing out that the suspect is black is considered to be RACIST!
The White House released a statement on that 16 year old girl with the knife who got herself killed saying that quote The killing of 16-year-old, whatever her name was, by the Columbus Police is tragic.
She was a child.
We're thinking of her friends and family and the communities that are hurting and grieving her loss.
We know that police violence disproportionately impacts Black and Latino people and communities, and that Black women and girls, like Black men and boys, experience higher rates of police violence.
What happened there wasn't police violence, it was police protection.
And do you want to know the big secret about why certain people have more run-ins with the police?
It's because they commit more crimes.
Imagine not understanding that.
That would be like not understanding why somebody who rides motocross for a living tends to get injured more often than people in other professions.
Like, say, an accountant.
Gee, I don't know why people who ride motocross keep breaking their collarbones more often than accountants do.
I don't know either, but it's probably because of racism.
I probably shouldn't get into mentioning certain statistics about crime in this video because groups like the ADL and others have deemed those statistics to be HATE!
I do detail them in my books, however, which you can get in paperback at Amazon.com by clicking the link in the description below.
You know how you have to take driver's ed in school?
Well, there should be a police ed in school where the students have to be taught how not to act around police and shown videos about what happens when they play stupid games that they win stupid prizes.
Seems everybody in America is tired of what the Black Lives Matter movement is doing to this country.
Ruining it, of course.
Including the Black Lives Matter movement themselves.
They have a verified Twitter account for One of the Black Lives Matter global initiative, you know, organizations.
The one that's run by that woman who bought millions of dollars worth of real estate.
So they have a verified Twitter account and they just tweeted out that quote, Biden is currently sending more military equipment to our neighborhoods than Trump did.
You read that right.
Our communities are being terrorized at a greater rate than they had been under Trump.
I'm sure they are being terrorized, but if you want to find out who's responsible for that, just look in the mirror.
And did you see the video that just went viral showing the Black Lives Matter mob shouting at a bunch of people eating dinner in New York that white people aren't allowed to own restaurants there and that they had to leave?
They're not even allowed to live there.
I can't play the clip for copyright reasons.
I don't want to get into it, but there are these certain viral video agencies out there, Viral Hog and Storyful, and if you play their clips without buying the rights to them, it causes a problem.
But you can take my word for it, or you should actually just go and look it up for yourself.
Maybe I'll link it up on my Gab and on my Telegram account because you really should see it.
Of course, that's not a national news story.
An angry mob telling white people that they need to leave the city or perhaps even the states.
But that white guy who shoved a black man who was apparently loitering and pestering people in his neighborhood and he wouldn't leave.
That was a national news story and he was arrested.
Anyway, I'm tired of talking about the bowel movement that's dominating the narrative in the mainstream media so I'm gonna move on to other things.
But subscribe to my channel if you're new here. If you guys enjoy watching my videos,
head on over to my online store and get yourself an I Love Global Warming shirt,
a defund fake news shirt, or any of my awesome designs. Available in a t-shirt,

Well, I did tell you that guy just did a brilliant job there. Meanwhile, we now return
a German police pepper spray protester at a rally against the new COVID bill.
Immunologists report Pfizer's COVID vaccine as an RNA sequence known to cause Alzheimer's and ALS.
The current analysis indicates Pfizer's RNA-based COVID vaccine contains many of the RNA sequences been shown to have eye affinity for TDP43 or FUS and have the potential to induce chronic degenerative neurological diseases.
These are associated with prion.
You remember mad cow disease?
Many have raised the warning that the current epidemic of COVID-19 is actually the result of a bioweapon attack released by individuals in the U.S.
government.
Such a theory is not far-fetched, given that the 2001 anthrax attack in the U.S.
originated at Fort Detrick, a U.S.
Army bioweapon facility.
Because the FBI's anthrax investigation was closed against the advice of the lead FBI agent in the case, the likely conspirators are still working in the U.S.
government.
Such a scenario, the primary focus of stopping bioweapons attack must be to apprehend the conspirators.
The attacks will never cease.
Meanwhile, whites are denied COVID-19 vaccine appointments by some providers in Washington.
Get this.
In the state of Washington, they're discriminating on the basis of race as to who gets a COVID.
KTTH in Seattle says a website for African American Reach and Teach Health Ministry, a vaccine distributor authorized by the State Department of Health, questions those seeking inoculation appointments for their race.
If the individual indicates he is white, They're unable to access appointment times and dates.
How outrageous is this?
The radio station said it asked the Department of Health several times if the practice violates state laws against discrimination and was told it was taking the necessary steps to provide equitable access to the vaccine.
The Washington State Department of Health complies with applicable federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex.
DOH doesn't exclude people or treat them differently because of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex, except they are.
How outrageous is this?
Completely unbelievable and disgusting.
Michael, your thoughts?
Yeah, going back to the knife fight story, I thought it was amazing that those tweets that Valerie Jarrett put out was, they were implicitly, if not obviously, essentially arguing for allowing people to have a knife fight.
And get injured by a knife fight.
It's just crazy the logical knots these people tie themselves into trying to put forth their propaganda.
By all objective measures, What we've got in this country is a very violent underclass and a media that both fans the flames and protects that underclass from any proper consequences of that violence.
That was a great video by Mark Dice.
That relative, I didn't quite catch what the relation was of that knife girl who was lying about her having a knife.
That was her mother.
Not only was she not too emotionally upset about it, I had the flash that she had remembered the $27 million payment that the George Floyd family got.
Maybe that's cynical, but there you go.
It's really nice that that Pfizer vaccine study came out and even nicer, the That the vaccine can cause Alzheimer's and ALS.
And it's even nicer that it was published on the website at a prestigious medical journal, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
The author of it even compares the COVID-19 vaccines to bioweapons.
So that's a very nice piece to have come out.
The story, and finally the story about whites being denied the COVID vaccine, how ironic is that?
They're trying to give blacks a leg up and they're issuing them first into the slaughterhouse.
Yeah, that's right, because, I mean, more and more it's apparent that these vaccines cause the production of prions and mad cow disease in human beings, so they're lining up the blacks to get first-come, first-served.
Chris, your thoughts?
Well, yeah, they've always done that in proud tradition.
You know, if you look at the Tuskegees or even the plantation business models that these merchants put on in the first place, it's probably the same model they've always had.
So there's this Judeo-Masonic group that really is running departmentalized civil rights movements for the blacks in many cases.
Most of the leaders like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or any of these people are part of the Boulay Society.
And in many cases, I don't know if we're familiar with this, but I think Jesse Jackson was one of the two men, along with Reverend Billy Kyle, who led Martin Luther King out to the FBI and Army snipers in Memphis for him to be shot.
So like, they were the ones not wearing the tie.
That was like how you figured out who the sniper was going to shoot at, was King had his tie on.
So yeah that's some interesting stuff you know how these guys can then get out there and talk about black rights and civil rights after they led their leader to the slaughter like that I mean this guy's a once-in-a-lifetime type of leader I would think but hey whatever uh I guess that's just how they seem to work they like to go after their own kind and kill their own kind uh extremely harsher you know like as you can see the mom going after her own daughter with a knife uh it's it's you know kind of Sometimes how the culture in this community does things more so than others not to sound racist but being real so they really do create a tough situation for officers to deal with and especially rewarding this type of a situation with a windfall payout like the 27 million dollars to me it does seem like the only way other than playing basketball or getting into some sort of another opportunity for these kids to ever make their way out of of the ghettos in terms of financial feasibility so
This is truly unbelievable what they're doing with this.
And if you think, it's just like perfect timing.
After the 1% that Cabal is starting to get ganged up on by the rest of the world, they have this COVID thing break out and then it leads to perfect timing.
And then when that thing fades away for a minute, they bring the race riots in and, you know, they put the NGOs and all this shit in there.
And ultimately what they're doing by these things is taking land and running people off their property.
But they're also taking these minorities and putting them into an extortion or shakedown mechanism, a pay-to-play system.
Where they're being policed by over-militant operatives, like I say, that are sent over to Israel and trained to actually run these people into this thresher.
So yeah, these people are being used as guinea pigs and really the model is to turn out your kids and sell your soul to stay alive.
And that is really the business model that they present to these people in the inner cities.
And then the fact that maybe there's a middle class that's fortunate enough to be able to get out of that situation and get to the outskirts of the inner cities.
You know, I don't think it's fair to necessarily have the lower class targeting the middle class for the oppression of the upper class.
So there's a certain group that we're all getting screwed by that seems to get greatly overlooked in the face of these sensationalized outrages.
So yeah, I think this is how they run every sort of both sides of every conflict since the Crusades and maybe longer.
And you know, I wouldn't be surprised if you see more stuff like this or more false flags from the Biden administration.
And also on the other topic, you know, the COVID and the vaccine injuries and all these things, there's a lot of things that are being rolled out, a lot of invariables that are put into the same equation, whether it's 5G, GMO, nanotech, mRNA, chemtrails, the prion stuff you're talking about, many other things too.
That are really targeting the capacities of people and even the immutable abilities for resistance to illness, as well as is what you're saying early onset type of situations.
They understand peasants have always had traditionally long memories, and this is really why they're going after that as well so it's not an accident, this is a full spectrum assault.
Well, that was quite fascinating.
I gotta say, William Pepper appears to have been the one who unearthed Jesse Jackson's role in having Martin change his room from one that was more secure to one that was less on the balcony, where also it turns out that Martin survived the shot But was transported to a hospital more distant than the nearest because they had there a racist doctor who assured that if he weren't dead, bring him to my ER and I'll finish him off.
When they brought Martin in, he shoved everyone out of the room and smothered him to death with a pillow.
That's a sordid history of one of the greatest leaders in American history, Martin Luther King Jr.
Meanwhile, I published a piece, this might be the most important ever, on Oon's Review.
I'll share a few paragraphs with you.
This photograph is very significant, as you're going to discern.
Notice here, this is a piece of a 757 fuselage, and entwined there is a piece of vine not indigenous to the Arlington, Virginia area.
The public has been fed an endless stream of attacks upon conspiracy theories, which we're told are supposed to be very bad for human beings and other living things.
But precisely why is almost never explained.
And when you consider that our political parties and the mainstream media indulge themselves in conspiracy theories, such as the claim that Russia interfered with the 2016 election, otherwise Donald Trump could never have been elected.
Or alternatively, that Dominion voting which were used to steal the election of 2020 and otherwise could not have been defeated or in the first instance promoted by the media in spite of virtually no evidence at all in the second, denied thereby in spite of massive supporting proof.
Both are conspiracy theories where one appears to be true and the other appears to be false.
Since at least some conspiracy theories thus appear to be true, we need to be able to tell the difference.
Even university professors have shown a decided aversion to conspiracy theories, buying into the stereotypical conception that the key characteristic of conspiracy theories is that they are unfalsifiable.
A tip sheet for one college, for example, makes the declaration that, quote, the main problem with any particular conspiracy theory is not that it's wrong, but that it's inarguable, not that it's false, but that it is unfalsifiable.
Because it is unfalsifiable, a conspiracy theory is not provable or disprovable, end quote.
If that were true, it would certainly count against them, making them akin to theoretical affirmation about the existence of God, as a classic case, or the existence of a universal force, ala Star Wars, more contemporary.
But is it actually true?
A study published in Frontiers of Psychology, what about Building 7, for example, suggests that those often characterized as conspiracy theorists are more skeptical of what they are told by the government official accounts than they are enamored of specific alternatives and are more open-minded in the interpretation of evidence.
They are less inclined to defer to officials as authorities, more inclined to look at the evidence, which even hints that the study of alternative theories of events like 9-11 might be an effective method to teach critical thinking.
Since conspiracies only require two or more persons acting in concert to bring about an illegal end, it turns out to be the most widely prosecuted criminal offense in America.
Why should conspiracy theories be all but banned from public discourse?
We know the criteria to employ in the evaluation of scientific theories.
Why should they not be evaluated by the same standards or criteria of adequacy, which classically include
the clarity and precision of the language in which they are expressed,
their scope of application for the purpose of explanation and prediction,
their respective degrees of empirical support on the available evidence,
or the economy elegance or simplicity with which they satisfy those criteria?
Since conspiracy theories are theories, why should they not be evaluated by the same criteria
where the testability of a theory depends right off the bat on the specificity of its language?
When Ilhan Omar made the observation, some people did something in relation to 9-11, for example, her remarks qualify as true but trivial.
It cannot satisfy CA-1 or 2, much less 3 or 4.
When the 9-11 Commission, by contrast, concludes that 19 Islamic terrorists commandeered four commercial carriers and attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon under the control of a guy in a cave in Afghanistan, however, the content and thereby the testability of what has been asserted increases substantially.
The government, however, has not been disposed to revise its official narrative, even though a half a dozen or more of the 19 suicide hijackers turned up alive and well the following day and made contact with the media in the UK, as David Ray Griffin observed by making his first argument in his magisterial study, the 9-11 Commission Report, Omissions and Distortions, 2004.
Even though we know the theory advanced by the Commission therefore cannot be true, the government has remained unmoved.
And when consideration is given to Building 7, WTC 7 for example, a 47-story building in the World Trade Center complex which was not hit by any plane but came down in what has been characterized as a classic controlled demolition, It raises the specter of a conspiracy theory, even though its collapse has the characteristics of having been a controlled demolition, abrupt, complete, symmetrical collapse into its own footprint, leaving a debris pile equal to about 12% of the height of the original, where even the owner of the WTC, Larry Silverstein, confirmed to PBS that WTC had been pulled, a construction term for bringing down by controlled demolition.
Nothing about this account violates any of CA1 through CA4.
Meanwhile, what matters is not the specifics of whodunit, but that the situation regarding conspiracy theories is not at all as popular belief would have it.
Not only are they not unfalsifiable, but the application of scientific reasoning has produced significant results which have led to the identification of the probable perps.
Philosophy, through teaching logic, critical thinking, and scientific reasoning, is much to contribute to the public good.
There is nothing wrong with the conspiracy theories that warrants their neglect by philosophers.
On the contrary, because most students have a keen interest in knowing the truth about JFK 9-11 and a host of other politically significant but controversial events, there is a wealth of material to work with at faculty.
Philosophers especially would come down from their ivory tower and engage with real-world events.
A striking illustration of the difference it makes for public affairs may be found in the attacks upon Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom the Democrats, as the majority party, removed from her committee assignment because she was raising too many issues they did not want to address about Sandy Hook, Parkland, Las Vegas, California wildfires, and more.
Having done research on all of these, I composed an assessment.
What turns out that on every one of the issues about which she was being attacked, Marjorie Taylor Greene was either clearly in the right or supported by the weight of the evidence.
Most of her assertions, of course, qualified in the mind of her critics as conspiracy theories.
But if they paused to consider the evidence with regard to each of them, they would have been impressed, provided only they had an open mind.
And there's the rub.
As James Files, who may or may not have been behind the picket fence on the grassy Nolan, for me, when the government commits a lie, it's stuck with it.
Which, of course, resonates with a failure of the government to change its position about 19 Islamic hijackers of 9-11, or Lee Oswald as the lone demanded gunman on 22 November 1963.
Which means, in turn, that the government is not operating on the basis of principles of science or of rationality, where the discovery of new evidence or alternative hypotheses may require that we reject hypotheses we previously accepted, accept hypotheses we previously rejected, and leave others in suspense.
The government operates as an authoritarian source of politically infallible knowledge, where to admit mistakes would weaken its grip on the body politic that it governs, and Reflecting upon the treatment of Marjorie Taylor Greene, it struck me like a silver bullet.
Conspiracy theorists are investigating crimes.
No wonder they want to silence us.
The government was involved in the assassination of JFK.
The government was involved in 9-11.
The government was involved in Sandy Hook Parkland in Las Vegas, too.
Think of the genius of it all.
The perps themselves are in the position of dictating to the public who is credible and who is not when it comes to investigating crimes in which the government itself is complicit.
It turns out, therefore, the answer to the question we asked, what's wrong with the conspiracy theories, could not be more obvious once they are properly understood.
We should all be conspiracy theorists.
The nation can only benefit from sorting out true conspiracy theories from false.
Michael, your thoughts?
There's some great lines in that article, Jim.
For some reason, that article sounds like it was penned by a professor of logic to me.
The, the, the phrase, they would have been impressed, provided, only they had an open mind.
That's a good one.
And the government operates as an authoritarian source of knowledge, where to admit mistakes would weaken its grip on the body politic.
Some great lines in there.
And I'm really happy that Unz Review, which is one of the biggest, most widely read websites, has chosen to Run your piece, Jim.
I hope you write more for them.
It's my understanding that you're beginning to work on a new book about all the real conspiracies and events, and this is certainly a good time for it, because the one we're in the middle of right now, this pandemic, looks like it's the biggest one yet.
Michael, you're right.
Yes, I submitted it to Unz Review because I thought it was appropriate, given what I consider to be the importance of the article, that someone else make a decision to publish or not.
I was very pleased when he chose to publish it.
And you're also correct.
Yes, I'm using that as a point of departure for a collection of new essays on what's wrong with conspiracy theories.
Inviting experts from a wide range of areas to introduce their research to show the testability and indeed the falsifiability of the theories to which we've been subjected by the government in its massive and ongoing propaganda campaigns.
Chris, your thoughts?
Yeah, you know, you've got what maybe a dozen books about conspiracy theories that I think are pretty much right on where you call out the conspirators and actually point out the evidence and I'm sure there's probably a few more dozen in a lot of range to cover that maybe you haven't gotten into yet so I look forward to reading your COVID one and your book on On conspiracy theories.
If you really think about it, this entire country was founded on a conspiracy theory, I think, a Judeo-Masonic two-house racket where the natives had no idea it was even coming at them.
And the technocracy that they defeated them with, you know, they had no belief in or no interest in taking, but it still didn't stop them.
So, arguably speaking, we're facing the same extinction and extermination and dispossession and land grab from the same conspirators A few hundred years later as the natives faced.
So yeah, if you want to talk about conspiracies or coincidences or things like this, there's a lot of coincidences and a lot of meetings in the aisles of these conspirators that are supposedly above suspicion and innocuous and not involved with these type of conspiracy theories, right?
You know, like Zelikov investigating 9-11 and now COVID, perfect example there.
So anybody that's trying to look at this situation, any of these situations with a sense
of a criminal investigation or a deductive reasoning or a scientific method are going to actually see
these things being disrupted, distracted, misdirected by actual conspirators covering these things up,
whether it's a mainstream media, whether it's operatives, whether it's people involved with it or not.
And the thing of this is the people that are really the highest level of these conspiracies
use the departmentalized operatives below them in ways that are so limited and departmentalized
that maybe they don't see that it's part of a bigger picture.
And in many cases, you know, these things are working together or against each other in the field or in these conspiracies so Yeah, this is really a thing they use also in conjunction with propaganda, immense propaganda, in terms of gaslighting anybody that knows better and turning the tables on eyewitnesses so that they're on eggshells and really not confident in their own perceptions in the face of the convincing official narrative.
Yeah, in parts of the article I did not read, and I encourage everyone to go to Unn's review or to my blog where I republished the original, Philip Zelikow, who has chosen to be the Executive Director of the 9-11 Commission, head as his area of academic specialization before he left the Academy to enter government service.
The creation and maintenance of public myths, M-Y-T-H-S.
Where he had completed a draft of the 9-11 Commission report with titles and subtitles and so forth a year before he shared it with any member of the Commission.
And now the Biden administration has selected him to do its investigation of COVID.
Where he'll no doubt perform the same brilliant job of covering up as he did in the case of 9-11.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian president says the nation is ready for war, signing a bill to call up reservists as the U.S.
and Britain boost their military training.
This is a bit of a joke.
The Russian military is so much more powerful than Ukrainian, it couldn't possibly defend itself.
The Russians could take Ukraine with hardly a blink.
Russia, meanwhile, deployed a decoy army of inflatable tanks, missiles, and fighter jets that tricked the West.
This actually happened during World War II as well, where the Allied forces created a fake army to conceal that they were going to attack France at the Normandy beach.
This is a pretty fascinating variation.
The fake army, it turns out, can inflate within minutes and cost a fraction of buying the real weapons.
Among the armor is what look like MIG-31 and SU-27 fighters under the cover of an anti-aircraft missile system at a mock covert airfield in the forest.
It's really fascinating that this should have happened.
Putin annexed Crimea, it's claimed here, in 2014, but it was no annexation.
It was an internationally supervised referendum.
95% of the Crimeans voted to rejoin Russia.
The ceasefire that has broken out in disputes between the Ukrainian force and the Russian-backed separatists in the Donbass has fallen apart with increasing outbursts of violence that threaten to erupt into a full-scale war.
Meanwhile, after the West builds up war hysteria for weeks, the Russian troops simply return to their bases after the drill ended.
That's a fascinating development.
Putin is the really smartest guy who's tried the geopolitical stage in the world today, without any doubt.
Michael, your thoughts?
Yeah, I agree with that.
I'm not sure I have anything new to say about the Russia-Ukraine situation right now, but it is certainly an interesting move, kind of like a rope-a-dope, to this move that Putin just made to pull all his troops off of the border when all the news services are saying what high tensions exist there.
It's like he turns his back and he says, whatever, like, where's the big deal?
He's an amazing actor on the world stage.
Yeah, he is nothing but my unqualified admiration.
Chris, your thoughts?
Yeah, you know, I look at our foreign policy as it's dictated to us by the CFR and APAC and this whole theater, this global political stage, the great game as Henry Kissinger calls it.
It almost, like I said, reminds me of high stakes poker, where we're sitting here kind of with the political capital of the dead man's hand.
And we're trying to really bluff our way into like, taking the jackpot with the big bank or the big stack.
So I think that really Russia has been calling that out in terms of not only Our hypocrisy, but our pure lack of cards.
I think that they are entirely more prepared for this situation than the American government has been, not only in their investment in sound money, but also in pragmatic military applications and hardware.
You know, they're pretty much lean and mean.
And what's coming on here in America is it's been just debaucherized and demoralized in such a way and debased in terms of its currency and in terms of its military, in terms of its national pride, in terms of its political capital.
I think that really it's going to take a serious amount of diligence for the American people and the global community to restore their faith in the American apparatus, whether it's the financial system, the military one, or the educational one.
Very, very well said.
Meanwhile, at the Istanbul Summit on Afghanistan, it's been postponed after the Taliban rejected attending.
As you know, President Biden wants to shift the date that Donald Trump negotiated with the Taliban to have U.S.
forces about by the 1st of May, wanting to move it back to the 20th anniversary of 9-11.
The Taliban aren't going to take that kindly and have threatened to make it a nightmare for any American troops that remain.
Chris Hedges has published a nice piece on unraveling the American Empire.
America's defeat in Afghanistan is one in a string of catastrophic military blunders that herald the death of the American Empire.
With the exception of the First Gulf War, fought largely by mechanized units in the open desert that did not wisely attempt to occupy Iraq, the United States political and military leadership has stumbled from one military debacle to another.
Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya.
The trajectory of military fiascos mirrors the sad finales of the Chinese, Ottoman, Habsburg, Russian, French, British, Dutch, Portuguese, and Soviet empires.
While each of these decayed with their own peculiarities, they all exhibited patterns of disillusion that characterize the American experiment.
Imperial ineptitude is matched by domestic ineptitude.
The collapse of good government at home, with legislative, executive, and judicial systems all seized by corporate power, ensures that the incompetent and the corrupt, those dedicated not to the national interest but to swelling the profits of the oligarchic elite, lead the country into a cul-de-sac.
Rulers and military leaders driven by venal self-interest are often buffoonish characters in a grand comedic operetta.
How else to think of Alan Dulles, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Donald Trump, or the hapless Joe Biden?
While their intellectual and moral vacuity is often darkly amusing, it's murderous and savage when directed toward their victims.
There's not a single case since 1941 when the coups, political assassinations, election fraud, black propaganda, blackmail, kidnapping, brutal counterinsurgency campaigns, U.S.
sanctioned massacres, torture and global black site, proxy wars, or military interventions carried out by the United States resulted in the establishment of a democratic government.
The two decades-long wars in the Middle East, the greatest strategic blunder in American history, have only left in their wake one failed state after another.
Yet, no one in the ruling class is held accountable.
War, when it's waged to serve utopian absurdities such as implanting a client Government in Baghdad that will flip the region, including Iran, into U.S.
protectorates, or when, as in Afghanistan, there is no vision at all, descends into a quagmire.
The massive allocation of money and resources to U.S.
military, including Biden's request for $715 billion for the Defense Department in fiscal year 2022.
An 11.3 billion or 1.6% increase over 2021 is not in the end about national defense.
A bloated military budget is designed, as Seymour Mellman explained in his book, The Permanent War Economy, Primarily to keep the American economy from collapsing.
All we really make any more are weapons.
Once this is understood, perpetual war makes sense, at least for those who profit from it.
The idea that America is a defender of democracy, liberty, and human rights would come as a huge surprise to those who saw their democratically elected government subverted and overthrown by the United States in Panama in 1941, Syria in 1949, Iran 1952, Guatemala 1954, Congo 1960, Brazil 1964, Chile 1973, Honduras 2009, and Egypt 2013.
in 1954, Congo 1960, Brazil 1964, Chile 1973, Honduras 2009, and Egypt 2013. And this list
does not include a host of other governments that however despotic, as was the case in South
Vietnam, Indonesia, or Iraq, were viewed as inimical to American interests and destroyed,
in each case making life for the inhabitants of these countries even more miserable. I spent two
decades on the outer reaches of empire as a foreign correspondent. The flowery rhetoric used
to justify the subjugation of other nations so corporations can plunder their natural resources
and exploit cheap labor is solely for domestic consumption.
The generals, intelligence operatives, diplomats, bankers, and corporate executives who manage
empire find this idealistic talk risable.
They despise, with good reason, naive liberals who call for humanitarian intervention and believe the ideals used to justify empire are real, that empire can be used as a force for good.
These liberal interventionists, the useful idiots of imperialism, attempt to civilize a process that was created and designed to repress, intimidate, plunder, and dominate.
Fascinating piece, in my opinion.
Michael, your thoughts?
Yes, it is that.
That's a great overview of the sad but true history of U.S.
military empire over the last 70 years, I guess.
You know the phrase, Afghanistan, where empires go to die, reminds me of the elephant graveyard in the old Tarzan movies.
People are speaking of our withdrawal there and having lost the war in Afghanistan.
But that's, you know, it's not really a traditional war.
It's true that the United States itself in many ways, and certainly its citizens, have lost a great deal in the 20-year occupation of Afghanistan.
The purpose was never to win a war in any traditional sense.
The real controllers of this criminal cabal that run the world continued over that entire time to make gigantic profits in the global drug trade using our taxpayer money and our lives, our sons lives, to cover their overhead for that drug trade.
And another aspect is that America's war machine and defense department have functioned as yet another manner of sucking the wealth and vitality out of America and into the coffers of the corporate oligarchy that actually runs this world.
Jim?
Nice.
Chris, your thoughts?
Yeah, I'd have to say this corporate oligarchy that runs this world is the same Judeo-Masonic oligarchy that has probably used Alexander the Great and many people ever since to try to conquer Afghanistan unsuccessfully.
And many of those empires that you named in that list would probably be falling into that category as well.
So yeah, I think that really, Babylon needs to be partitioned at some point in time.
And I think that maybe you're seeing that in terms of the American empire or this UN empire.
I think that it's exhausted its credibility.
And really, these guys have gotten caught in a mass eugenics program, and they're trying to step it back or to run their contingent plan to bring like the BRICS into contention with the IMF World Bank is in terms of economic power and control of trade.
So I think that really, excuse me, Democracy is something that is non-existent in America, so it's obvious that this empire has been utilized.
And it's certainly not delivering the will of the American people under the guise of democracy.
It's delivering the will of these corporate tyrants, these technocrats, people that have pretty much put on this perpetual war by design and they have compromised America.
The last experimental experiment in human freedom, in my knowledge, at least hopefully it won't be the last.
But anyways, it seems to be a war on popular sovereignty.
Nonetheless, it's something that they have agreed to wage war against going back to the Congress of Vienna, maybe even further in 1812.
This is them really putting on the illusions of scarcity and the misery index.
And as you both pointed out, in many instances they use the oppression and the traditional Generational strife of the youth to propel these liberal governments into many of these inversions to participate in these mass genocides where these people are used as janissaries against their own best interests.
So, yeah, this is how they run these type of things.
And, you know, the War of Terror was certainly nothing different in terms of an agenda to grab the resources and to control people and to put people under the banking system, under the Abscam biometric database.
to integrate us into the One Belt, One Road, this technocratic takeover. This thing we're seeing with
the COVID vaccine passport and everything like that, this is all part of the plan. So you can
call it by one of the 25 to 50 departmentalized agendas that are all working towards this,
but ultimately the same people that are putting these plans together are the same people that are
departmentalizing us and getting us to do their dirty work for them and pulling this off.
Very, very, very nice, Chris.
I, I.
I think that Donald Trump deserves to be distinguished from the others because only he did not start any new wars but sought to end them.
And it appears that Biden is going to get us into other wars almost immediately off the bat.
So I would give Trump a better press than our author there, though it was an excellent, excellent piece.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.

One of my best commentators on my blog wrote, To himself.
Doctor, it would seem fear must play a huge role in those who agree to be vaccinated.
Fear of losing a job.
Fear of not going along.
Fear of a disease that only exists in the mainstream media.
Fear of being locked down as if the vaccine will bring an end to that.
For businesses being sued.
As with your family, I'm sure all of my family, including my five last count great-grandchildren, have all taken the facts, since they're all in the medical field in one capacity or another, along with my grandson, who is a fireman.
I fear for their lives, and I'm sad to say I will likely be hearing some sad news within a year.
The distress, anxiety, depression, and damage to the mass psyche is immeasurable.
This earth has never faced a crisis of this type.
It's beyond devastating.
It's catastrophic.
To think otherwise is absolutely foolhardy.
Meanwhile, I already knew Chris Hedges was a Trump hater.
He has some good insight, but is blind to what happened in the stolen election and the Demolition Party-sponsored storming of the Capitol.
Chris is also a sucker to believe all the mass shootings are real organic events as opposed to engineered events
to outrage the sheep who demand more gun control as if there could be such a thing for the outlaw thugs
who will always have guns.
There are actual and real mass shootings daily in Chicago, but that's usually black killing black violence,
which they seldom cover nationally.
Movie theater shooting check, grocery store shooting check, church shooting check, mall shooting check,
school shooting X too many to count.
The cult wants you to think no place is safe.
That who should have the opposite effect and does.
Everyday people are deciding they need to be armed to counter the threat of random violence or crimes of opportunity.
Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted, I'm glad I ran into you today, OAC, to plan our debate about the Green New Deal.
After I finish reading all 14 pages like we agreed, I'll schedule a time for our debate.
I admire this woman so much.
Meanwhile, Philip Zelikow, Executive Director of the 9-11 Commission, where it authored a draft of its final report a year before he shared it with members of his staff, has been appointed the Chair of the COVID-19 Commission.
What a complete farce.
Meanwhile, I remind you all, when they come for ore guns, the time has come to use them.
Go to Falsified Conspiracies 2020.
Check out all 24, available for free to everyone in the public.
The secret of freedom, remember, lies in educating people.
The secret of tyranny, in keeping them ignorant.
Final thoughts.
Michael, yours.
That really flipped me when I saw yesterday that they were appointing Philip Zelikow To head a commission that would essentially do the same thing that he did with the 9-11 Commission, which is to completely bury the truth and create some false narrative that because they also own the media and the politicians will go down in history as the history.
You know, the creator and management of public myth.
There he is.
He's he's going to tell us our next myth that they want all our children to learn.
A recommendation that I wanted to give before I go is that Yesterday, there was a very, very good panel discussion between a really all-star lineup of truth-telling doctors about the COVID situation and the vaccine situation, and whether vaccinated people were any danger to non-vaccinated people, and the general bifurcation of those two sections of society.
It was Sherry Tenpenny, Larry Pilevsky, Carrie Madej, Chris John Northrup, and Lee Merritt.
All of them are terrific truth tellers.
It's going to be posted at the site of Millions Against Medical Mandates.
The website is just mamm.org, and it might be up there now, but it will be within 24 hours.
Something that my old friend in Texas told me that part of that discussion, she saw it, I haven't yet, was that they were talking about how our country has essentially gone.
We're no longer being We're being ruled.
We've lost the court system, we've lost our legislature, we've lost our public information system, and the only thing that we have left in the way of self-governance is at the local level, primarily the sheriffs.
So, Jim?
Well, I think that's correct.
I also believe, by the way, that Philip Zelikow was a perfect choice to lead the 9-11 Commission because, in my opinion, he wrote the script for 9-11.
A perfect guy in both roles.
Chris, your final thoughts?
Yeah, man, Zelikow.
I don't know why they would pick him.
Maybe Kissinger was too busy again.
I don't know.
Maybe he has too many conflicts of interest.
Maybe that's something.
Yeah, I think that that's just a big shit show.
It's a circular firing squad.
It will never get to the truth.
It'll only just cover up the crimes and take out more eyewitnesses.
So yeah, this is truly a disgrace to the concept of justice, even to the sense of diligence.
I think that really most of this absurdity in terms of the political theater and the absurdity of its offerings and the polarizing effects of them are part of a bargaining tactic where people really start to embrace these delusions or these offerings or things they wouldn't normally consider, whether it's wearing a mask or getting a vax or, you know, the stuff after 9-11 that they put in.
Any of this stuff, it seems to me where they're trying to take away our rights on all fronts and put these authoritarian data-grabbing overreaches in place and really to compromise many parts of the Constitution.
And then anytime it's called into check or resisted, they just bring in an abundance of violence or absurdities or polarizing theaters to really focus people on the minutia and the misdirection.
Yeah, I'm starting to catch on to the game that they play in terms of trying to keep us fighting amongst ourselves and really to avoid looking at the big issues here.
So I think everybody really got to summon that fortitude.
And more people need to start supporting this Margie Taylor Greene because I think she's probably one of the few people in Congress who seems to be doing a decent job.
Well, it's a joy for me to be joined by the wisdom and brilliance of Michael Ivey from Asheville, North Carolina, and Chris Weinhart from Detroit.
In my opinion, this recent shooting, especially in Columbus, Ohio, has created a dilemma for the Democrat Party.
They want to take our guns, but they also want to defund the police.
Well, who's going to protect us when the police are gone if we cannot protect ourselves?
I think the perfect antidote to the Derek Chauvin trial Was a shooting in Columbus, Ohio, where a white officer saved a black girl's life by shooting a black girl who was about to stab her with a very large knife.
Everyone needs to ponder where we'd be without the police.
Even Don Lemon and CNN admitted this was a justifiable shoot.
I think the Democrats have no way out.
They've created a dilemma.
They've shot themselves in both feet by proposing the absurd position of defunding the police.
It's only that thin blue line that separates us from civilization and the mob.
Ponder the outcome.
You must be able to defend yourself.
Take it seriously.
Dark times are in the offing.
Thank you for joining us.
We'll be back Monday with more of the news.
