Need to Know (21 May 2021) with Michael Ivey and Mike Sparks

Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, where I'm very pleased today to be joined by Michael Ivey from Asheville, North Carolina, and today a special appearance by Mike Sparks in Louisiana.
Correction, Alabama!
Meanwhile, we're here to present for you all the news you need to know.
We begin with Israel and Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire to end their bloody 11-day war.
There's a reason to believe that Hamas is a puppet of Israel and that this is all contrived.
Like the previous three wars, the latest round ended inconclusively, Israel inflicting heavy damage on Hamas, but once again unable to halt their nonstop rocket barrages, which however appear to have had very slight effect.
The ceasefire comes at a sensitive time for Prime Minister Netanyahu, who in the wake of an inconclusive election failed to form a majority coalition.
Actually, so it's kind of in this odd position here of not actually having a government, but I'm certain that Bibi believes this is going to assist and rally politically support in Israel.
The ceasefire goes into effect.
Life returns to Gaza, such as it may be.
Palestinians celebrated the truth, while Bibi faced angry accusations from his right-wing base that he stopped the operation too soon.
The military said it had killed around 200 Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, destroyed more than 60 miles of a vast tunnel network used by Hamas.
The ceasefire was broken by Egypt, welcomed internationally.
I'm sorry to say this is just one more awful experience for those in Gaza, widely regarded as the world's largest concentration camp.
U.S.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken Who's himself a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, plans to meet with Israeli-Palestinian and other Middle East leaders in the coming days to discover recovery efforts, but it's not likely to amount to much.
Israel pretty much has its say.
Michael, your thoughts?
Well, I'm not sure what to think about that other than business as usual for Israel's Gradual takeover of all that area.
It's been going on since the creation of Israel and it's, of course, reminiscent of the, I believe it was a 1986, so did you known plan for establishing a greater Israel eventually.
And everybody identified the goals of that plan with the nations to be taken down.
After 9-11, so it seems like just a gradual working out of a long plan.
I'm not sure what to make of this piece.
It seems like they could have done a lot more destruction, but maybe they were getting such pushback from all over the world that they decided that they've gone as far as they can with this particular incursion and continuing slaughter of the Palestinian people.
I suspect you're right about that, Michael.
Mike Sparks, your thoughts?
Yeah, a war of attrition.
This is going to be long term.
And, you know, I'm against any kind of racketeering like that.
You know, keeping a problem in planes and milking it instead of solving it.
I would think that if the people of the world really gave a damn about the Palestinians, They insert an armored tracked military force into the area.
Get the kids out of the danger zone.
Ensure that nobody, no rockets can be launched and that would take the wind out of the sails of the agent provocation.
from happening.
But it would take some risk.
The peacemaking force, they're going to lose some people.
But then again, you can't have a military exercise and not have somebody get hurt.
So you know, if you really want to do something about this, Get the Palestinians on their feet economically and don't let them to have any kind of thuggery come from that area.
Smother that conflict.
It's not that big of an area to do that.
Talking about a division worth of force.
And of course, everyone who's followed the map since 1947-48, when the Palestinians controlled 90% of the territory, realized now today they've been reduced to less than 10%.
And the Israelis have no interest in the Palestinians thriving or even surviving.
In fact, the final solution from the Israeli point of view is to load all the Palestinians aboard a ship, float it out to sea, and sink it.
Meanwhile, we have a federal judge in Texas blocking the Biden administration from distributing grants in a COVID relief program that prioritized applicants by race or gender.
One would have thought, given all the anti-discrimination measures of the past that were intended to protect blacks, there'd be an understanding that they work equally well for other races, including even whites.
Based upon the record, we had a white man who was applying an application for his restaurant.
If it's absolutely won, then there's a substantial likelihood he could receive a portion of the funds from the restaurant revitalization pool.
At issue was the fact that the package directs the Biden administration to prioritize restaurants that are owned and controlled by women, Veterans and people deemed socially and economically disadvantaged, which includes those owned by at least 51% Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations, it should have been obvious this was illegal and unconstitutional on its face.
I find it quite embarrassing.
Grimm argued the policy actively excludes entire classes of Americans who are entitled to equal protection under the law.
Lawyers argued that the prioritization adopted while being race conscious don't violate the constitutional guarantee of equal protection, but clearly it does.
The judge shot down those claims.
The context is clear.
The evidence that Greer's Restaurant lost nearly $100,000 in gross revenue during the COVID pandemic and his attestation that he's prepared an application is otherwise eligible or sufficient to suggest plaintiffs' actual desire to apply for a monetary grant with a specific goal of restoring restaurants during the pandemic lie Greer's.
An attorney for the Biden administration did immediately respond Stephen Miller, President of America First Legal, representing the plaintiffs, said, The facts of the case are straightforward.
Hard-hit American restaurant owners can't apply for urgently needed pandemic relief.
But the government put some owners at the back of the line for access to a limited pool of money based on their race.
So we are presented with a simple but vital question.
Can the government reward or punish American citizens based upon the color of their skin or the ancestry of their families?
We all know the answer.
Racial discrimination in any part is legally and morally wrong.
It is un-American, it is unconscionable, and it must be stopped.
And yet, that is the policy of the Biden administration.
Mike, yeah, go ahead.
Comment.
I was just going to say I got some black shoe polish back there.
I could put it on my face and then I could get some extra points here for my application.
Well, that's bad.
It's absolutely shocking.
I mean, this is bad for my complexion.
This is so blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, I can hardly believe they sought to do it.
But Michael Ivey, I mean, this appears to be the Biden way.
They're going to discriminate in favor of the classes they prefer, who are clearly non-white.
Well, I take from that story a bit of optimism.
I'm actually glad to see that there's any degree of integrity left in the judicial system at all, and at least the judge made the right decision in this kind of case.
I'm I'm a person who had a career as an investigator and administrator in the enforcement of anti discrimination laws, and I still remember back in.
I don't know, the early 80s, when I first heard this one of my black female bosses talk about this principle they came up with where they said it was impossible for blacks to discriminate against whites or to be racist, because in order to be racist, you had to wield power and blacks didn't wield power.
That was the theory.
And I knew it was bullshit the first time I heard it because I've been working with blacks all my life.
And I knew how racist they could be.
So that's the first hint I got.
And of course, there's been some degree of that kind of Discrimination on the part of the federal government ever since the civil rights laws were passed in the 60s, and they were called affirmative action plans.
Now, as a person who worked in that field, you know, the affirmative action plans, if for those not familiar, It was a plan to like if there were equally qualified people for a certain job.
The, the employer was supposed to hire the minority, assuming they had low representation of minorities in the first place.
Okay.
It was like a corrective measure of decades of discrimination is how it was presented, but The way that they got everybody to buy into that concept was saying that this is only a temporary measure.
And after a while, we'll do away with affirmative action plans, and it'll be just on the basis of merit.
Well, you can see how, I guess, bittersweet or ironic it is for me to have been working in that field, helping minorities for a couple of decades, and then to find myself as a white man on the low end of the institutionalized racism and discrimination on the part of the federal government.
And the last thing, it reminds me of this amazing looking Mayor of Chicago who just announced that she would only talk to black or brown reporters.
It's just out in the open, and because of all this culture critique bullshit that's been imposed on our nation and our culture right now, people just let it go.
It's just disgusting and so undemocratic, un-American, unconstitutional, blatant on its face.
I can't believe they've tried to do it.
Yeah, Mike?
I wouldn't say, but it's also illogical.
I mean, make a number.
How many years of discrimination took place?
Put a number on it.
100 years, 10 years, and then for 10 years, 15, whatever, we'll undiscriminate.
But after that, that's it.
Otherwise, you've got a permanent chip on their shoulder of these certain tribalist groups.
They're always going to have a chip on their shoulder.
I'm a victim!
I'm a victim!
And you're never going to be unvictim enough, right?
Because there's no tangible number.
Mike, you got it right.
The Democratic Party has embraced the theory of victimization.
Meanwhile, New York is announcing a criminal investigation of the Trump Organization.
This is another way they're trying to vanquish the man who has Cleaned their clock twice, not just in 2016, but again in 2020, which they want to deny.
Reuters has reported New York's Attorney General has opened a criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump's company finances.
This is completely outrageous in my judgment.
Previously known there was a civil investigation, it's now become criminal.
Reuters reported Attorney General Letitia James has been investigating whether the Trump Organization falsely reported property values to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits.
The latest announcement marked another escalation of legal jeopardy Trump faces four months after leaving office.
Taking to three the number of known criminal investigations of the former Republican president.
May I say this business of estimating property values has a highly subjective element.
This is obviously an opportunity to fabricate a case against a responsible businessman who's done great good for New York City as well as for the United States.
Spokesman for the Attorney General's Office, we've informed the Trump Organization our investigation is no longer purely civil.
Meanwhile, the Manhattan DA claims to be investigating possibly extensive criminal conduct.
This is very, very bad.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance has been investigating Trump's pre-presidency business deals for more than two years.
The Democrats want anything they can get to neutralize the effect.
Trump has replied.
I have just learned through leaks in the mainstream media that after being under investigation from the time I came down the escalator five and a half years ago, including the fake Russia Russia Russia hoax, the two-year 48 million dollar no collusion Mueller witch hunt, impeachment hoax number one, impeachment hoax number two, and others, That the Democrat New York Attorney General has informed my organization that their investigation is no longer just a civil matter, but also potentially a criminal investigation working with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
There's nothing more corrupt than an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime.
But make no mistake, that's exactly what is happening here.
Yes, that's exactly right.
These Democrat offices are consumed with political and partisan witch-hunt at a time when crime is up big in New York City.
Shootings are up 97%, murders up 45%.
A rate not seen in 40 years.
Drugs and criminals are pouring into our country in record numbers from our now unprotected southern border.
And people are fleeing New York for other, safer locations to live.
But the District Attorney and Attorney General possessed at an unprecedented level was destroying the political fortunes of President Donald J. Trump and the almost 75 million who voted for him, by far, The highest number ever received by a sitting president, and we know actually the highest number ever received by any candidate for president in the history of the nation.
Mike Sparks, your thoughts?
I think that you have this political witch hunt shows that the Illuminati-controlled, Rothschild-Illuminati-controlled Democrats They have no morality.
They are complete needless, and if not that, then they're absolute Satanists, and they have no problem with lying.
So my point is, when these false allegations fall through, why is there no accountability for the person who concocted them getting put in jail for, basically, false accusations?
You're absolutely right, Mike.
I mean, it's called abuse of process, using the legal system for an improper purpose, all of the above.
There's no base for this.
It's not going any forward.
They are going forward and they're guilty.
They need to be punished for that.
You're absolutely right, Mike.
I mean, it's called abuse of process using the legal system for an improper purpose,
all of the above.
But Michael, your thoughts.
Yeah, I think you would know something about that right now, Joe.
This is just more complete Democrat Party idiocy.
I liked Mike Sparks' phrase, Rothschild-controlled Democrat Party, and this continuing demonization of Trump.
We're over half a year past the election now.
It's just a thing of amazement and wonderment to me.
It makes me wonder if there's some continuing reason that the Democrat Party's crime bosses fear him.
I mean, other than his coming back in 2024.
I really loved a line from that article that said, there's nothing more corrupt than an investigation in search of a crime.
And you could apply that to the entire four-year term of Donald Trump.
What was the name of the guy headed up the Russia investigation for so long?
Mueller.
Mueller.
Robert Mueller.
Yeah.
Mueller?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Mueller?
Wouldn't that apply in spades to that entire investigation and then coming up with zero at the end?
It was an investigation in search of a crime.
The problem is Trump appealed to a wide swath, usually in the Democratic coalition, including blacks and Latinos.
A Rasmussen poll in December 2019 showed 40% of black likely voters were going to support Trump.
The Democrats have been in panic mode ever since, and they're going to continue to do everything they can to discredit Trump and to discourage supporters from following him.
It will not be successful, but not for lack of trying.
I have a question for Mike, Mike Ivey, Michael Ivey.
What would happen as, you know, you're a former investigator and all of that, what would have happened to one of your colleagues if it was found that they were just persecuting somebody with an investigation?
Wouldn't they be removed from office?
Something?
Well, you mean an investigator or the people we worked for, the Yeah, either one.
What kind of pushback?
Actually, I've had to do that very thing as an administrator.
They would be fired if they went after somebody without any justification for it.
And that's not happening, of course.
Oh, not in this case, of course not.
Nice illustration.
Meanwhile, conservative talk radio listeners way outperform others in a survey about news facts.
I mean, this will come as no surprise to those of us who follow the difference between the liberal and the conservative media.
Editorial Director at the Hartland Institute, Justin Hawkins, discussed a new survey that shows conservative talk radio listeners are far better informed on key news issues than those who watch or listen to other news sources, such as CNN and MSNBC.
According to Haskins, the editorial director, the Heartland Institute teamed up with Rasmussen Reports to conduct a nationwide survey of 2,000 likely voters to find out how they get their news and how informed they are.
What we found was overwhelmingly in the vast majority of questions we asked,
the people who watch NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC regularly,
who identified those as their favorite network, were far more likely to get questions about facts wrong,
in some cases, wildly wrong, compared to people who watch conservative media television,
and especially those who get most of their news from talk radio.
Talk radio is actually the audience who is most likely to get these questions right
above all other kinds of categories.
Generally speaking, all conservative media way outperform the liberal outlets.
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani's son is launching a bid for New York governor and comes out swinging against Cuomo.
Republican Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy, announced Tuesday he's officially running to become the next governor of New York State and came out swinging.
Giuliani 35 toward the New York Post.
Giuliani versus Cuomo?
Holy smokes, it's Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier.
Referring to the 1971 bout for the heavyweight title, we can sell tickets at Madison Square Garden, one of the epic showdowns in the state's history.
I know we can defeat Andrew Cuomo in 2022.
I will be the 57th governor of New York.
It was Andrew Cuomo's actions that killed 9,000 senior citizens in nursing homes in New York, Giuliani said, referring to the Democrats' order early in the pandemic to force nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients, which Giuliani called the worst.
He should have resigned.
Cuomo didn't use the USS Comfort or the Javits Center to house seniors with COVID.
He didn't want to give President Trump a political victory.
He previously worked as Associate Director of the U.S.
Office of Public Liaison for four years during former President Trump's administration.
While he's never been elected to office, he told the Post, I'm a politician out of the womb.
It's in my DNA.
It's time to bring New York back.
Andrew Giuliani to run for New York governor.
He still has to make it through the GOP primary, but his announcement comes as both his Democrat opponents and his father are facing legal battles.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, for example, is conducting an investigation into several sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo, as well as a second probe into whether the governor used state resources to complete and promote his memoir on his COVID-19 leadership.
What a misconceived word that is.
Meanwhile, Rudy's Manhattan apartment was raided by the FBI last month, reportedly as part of a criminal investigation into Mr. Giuliani's dealings in Ukraine on the day of the raid
Andrew held a press conference.
This is disgusting. This is absolutely absurd. It's a continued politicalization of the Justice
Department. If this can happen to the former president's lawyer, it can happen to any
American. Enough is enough. He got that exactly right. Mike Sparks, your thoughts.
I think that this politicization of the Justice Department has turned it into the
injustice department and it has to be stopped by, I think, disbanding the FBI.
There has to be a price paid, and it's got to be stopped.
This sweeping under the rug that is just a complicated issue, and they've tried in good faith.
They were on a fishing expedition.
No.
There has to be a price paid, and the bureaucracies are at fault here, and they need to be punished.
And I say the good place to start would be disband the illegal, immoral FBI.
When America was formed, did we have an FBI?
No.
How long did we exist without an FBI?
Good question, right?
Nice point.
Michael, your thoughts?
Yeah, I totally agree with what Mike Sparks just said about disbanding the FBI and the CIA on, and maybe several other of the medically related regulatory agencies at this point like the CDC and the FDA.
All of that stuff needs to go because it's all been taken over by criminal cartels, and I think the FBI and CIA began being controlled as a criminal cartel in the first place.
Didn't have a benevolent start and then get taken over like the others.
That story about conservatives being better at news facts that was similar to the one that we covered last Tuesday about anti mask wearers being a lot more scientifically grounded than the mask wearers.
It's like, you know, anytime you pay attention and Actually, logically and objectively steady facts, you're going to come out better than those who are swayed by their emotions, specifically fear in this particular time.
I'm not a fan of Rudy Giuliani due to everything that both of you guys know about what happened around the events of 9-11.
But it's a good thing that anybody, practically, is taking on Andrew Cuomo.
And I'm glad that Giuliani's son specifically brought up that Cuomo nursing home situation, because that's a really bad thing that he did.
That's the way heavily against him politically.
Yes, Mike.
I think he should be arrested for this.
Cuomo's criminal incompetence.
He should be arrested for it.
Talking about investigations happening, that's one that ought to be happening in the Justice Department.
But of course, we know the Justice Department is another one of those agencies that's been taken over and they're not going to do shit.
Often referred to as the Just Us Department for the Democrat Party when they're in control.
Meanwhile, we'll be right back.
Here we have something worth watching.
Check it out.
I was not feeling so good on Thursday.
This is a guy who had a shot and listened to his story.
Does it hurt?
Is that really what they say it is on TikTok?
Yeah, it's not.
It didn't hurt, but I got a fever and chills and stuff like that.
I wasn't feeling too good.
No way?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And a little bit sore.
But no, no, now it's good.
Now it's good.
It's last week.
The only problem, the only problem is that everywhere I go, everywhere I go, everything is trying to connect to me, man.
Like Bluetooth connectivity.
What do you mean?
I got Bluetooth connectivity.
I get in the car, my car is trying to connect to me.
I go home, my computer is trying to connect.
Like my phone is trying to connect.
Like everything.
How do you know they're trying to connect to you?
Because I keep getting this bloody notification.
Check this out.
Everywhere I go, I keep getting this notification all the time.
It's nuts.
You're with AstraZeneca?
What the fuck are you saying?
Yeah!
I keep saying Castle.
What happens if you connect to it?
I don't know, man.
I didn't try it.
I'm scared.
Hey, everyone's asking how you're doing.
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm good, man.
It's not me that they're asking about.
It's you.
Are you feeling okay?
What about the connectivity?
The connectivity is still there, man.
I don't know how to turn it off.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Check this out.
See that TV over there?
Yeah.
Okay, if I walk up to it, it's going to try and connect to me.
Watch this.
That's a cow, man.
Let me see.
There it is.
What?
Yeah.
Everywhere I get the same message.
I walk away.
Is it just this TV?
Nope.
I walk away, it goes away.
Oh my God.
And you don't feel any vibrations in your body?
Nothing?
Nothing.
All good.
Anyone who's had any doubts about whether there's something weird about these vaccines should have them resolved.
Meanwhile, government scientific advisors admit they use totalitarian fear tactics to control people during the pandemic.
This is a report out of the UK where advisors for the government have expressed regret for using what they now admit to have been unethical and totalitarian methods to instill fear into the population to control their behavior during the pandemic.
The report quotes a briefing for March 2020 as the first lockdown was decreed that stated the government should drastically increase The perceived level of personal threat that the virus poses because a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened.
One scientist admitted the government was very worried about compliance, thought people wouldn't want to be locked down.
There were discussions about fear being needed to encourage compliance and decisions were made about how to ramp up the fear.
The unnamed scientist adds, the way we have used fear is dystopian.
He further confessed, the use of fear has definitely been ethically questionable.
It's been like a weird experiment.
Ultimately, it backfired because people became too scared.
Another scientist on the subcommittee professed, you could call psychology mind control.
That's what we do.
Clearly, we try and go about it in a positive way, but it has been used nefariously in the past.
Another warned, We have to be very careful about the authoritarianism creeping in.
People use the pandemic to grab power and drive through things that wouldn't happen otherwise.
According to the report, another researcher acknowledged, without a vaccine, psychology is your main weapon.
Psychology is a really good epidemic, actually.
Yet another scientist stated they've been stunned by the weaponization of behavioral psychology over the past year.
Warning!
Psychologists didn't seem to notice when it stopped being altruistic and became manipulative.
They have too much power and it intoxicates them.
Use of fear to control behavior in COVID pandemic was totalitarian, admits scientist from.
A state of fear.
How the UK government weaponized fear during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the Telegraph asked the subcommittee for comment on the finding, a psychologist replied, clearly, using fear as a means of control is not ethical.
Using fear smacks of totalitarianism.
It's not an ethical stance for any modern government.
By nature, I'm an optimistic person, but all this has given me a more pessimistic view of people.
Commenting on the revelations, Conservative Steve Baker, a member of a group of anti-lockdown members of Parliament, said, if it is true that the state took the decision to terrify the public to get complacent with rules, that raises extremely serious questions.
About the type of society we want to become.
Do I fear that government policy today is playing into the roots of totalitarianism?
Yes, of course it is.
The government state of fear continues minute by minute as government ministers are now suggesting so-called Freedom Day in the UK, where the government permits people to have basic rights It is under attack because a sizable portion of the population is refusing to take the vaccine.
There is a moral debate taking place in government, some arguing they have a duty to prevent deaths among those who refuse the vaccine, others privately suggesting vaccine refusers cannot hold back the rest of the country, even if some die.
Very disturbing stuff.
Mike Sparks, your thoughts?
Yes, the fear being created is only possible because you have the 40% middle sheeple will follow whatever any authority figure says.
And we saw that in the Milgen experiments when they were shocking people, that they would shock somebody to death.
There's a movie on it with Winona Ryder, if you want to see it.
And it shows then that the only people that would say no to the government, that had that much personal gravitas, were the 35% conscious doers.
And they said, I don't care what you say, I'm not shocked at that person to death.
Those people obviously are not in charge.
So what you have are the 25% psych sociopaths.
Running the country and tyrannizing, you know, the 40% in the middle.
25 plus 40 is 65%.
So you have a majority that are going into this abyss of fear with the, you know, China virus.
So it's classic Milton experiment.
I think you've got that scale.
Yes.
Michael, your thoughts.
Well, it's nice to see an article like that by Steve Watson, where he pulls together some experts to say what we've already known all along.
It's a Steve Watson thing, so I assume it was an InfoWars story.
And I doubt that you'd ever see something that up front about talking about the use of fear tactics as mind control in order to accomplish their agenda in the MSM.
But nevertheless, it's a good story.
Um, totalitarian fear tactics.
It's to me, this is kind of something that happens every time they use whatever they want to make the crowd do whatever they want.
And then after the fact, you'll have people coming out saying, Oh, well, you know, maybe we shouldn't have done that when Their goals have already been accomplished, but I think they're running into some serious pushback on the vaccine, as we've talked about before.
We've talked about, at least it's my opinion, that the entire pandemic is faked by many different methods, but the main one being that psychological method of Fear mongering constant in order to set everybody up to want the vaccines.
But I think there's a disconnect that's happening at this time.
There's a whole lot of pushback against these vaccines, and I don't know how they're going to handle it.
They're going to have to scare us even worse, or they're going to have to back off a little bit.
I just got a notification that the organization called America's Frontline Doctors have filed a temporary restraining order against the Secretary of HHS and the Department of Health and Human Services to stop any vaccine program on children.
Well, People below 18 years old.
Very, very good, Michael.
And yes, I think this is a perfect example of the contribution that Alex Jones is making to the American public good.
However much he may be demonized as a conspiracy theorist, he's clearly got it right here without any doubt.
And as you observe, this is not a story we're going to read in the mainstream press.
Sad to say.
Meanwhile, and I believe that this is one of the reasons for the ceasefire, Kuwaiti protesters burn Israeli flag, reject normalization deals.
Hundreds of Kuwaitis demonstrated in support of Palestinians Wednesday and murdered Israeli flag to protest the bombardment of Gaza after authorities allowed the rally to proceed despite coronavirus restrictions.
Protesters who were only granted access to a main square on foot To limit numbers, chanted Death to Israel and held banners rejecting normalization accords struck by the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain to forge ties with Israel.
We sent a message to our friends in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries that any normalization with the Zionists will not help.
It helps the killer against the Palestinian people.
Israeli aerial bombardment in Gaza has killed 227 persons in the 10-day conflict, rocket attacks by Hamas 12 in Israel, but we know it appears to be a mixed bag.
The Hamas even appears to be a stooge, a deliberate agent provocateur for Israel to justify these intrusions into Gaza to slaughter the Palestinians.
Other protesters, including dozens of expatriates, chanted slogans calling for rocket attacks on Tel Aviv.
And neighboring states such as UAE, some citizens have criticized Hamas for provoking Israeli airstrikes.
Kuwait, which launched a relief campaign for Palestinians this week, prevented a similar rally citing COVID-19 concerns.
Protests are rare in the Gulf region where governments keep a lid on dissent and political parties are not allowed.
Qatar has also permitted a pro-Palestinian protest.
However, Meanwhile, a Pakistani member of parliament has called for nuking the Jewish state.
Foreign adversaries around the world are wading into the conflict in Gaza to denounce Israel's right to self-defense, with some openly calling for the use of nuclear weapons against the Jewish state.
Pakistan accused Israel of war crimes in a United Nations Security Council statement, but some officials are urging direct aggression.
Pakistani Member of Parliament Maniwana Chaitrelli advocated in a Tuesday televised speech for full-blown jihad against Israel, even urging the use of nuclear weapons to assist the terror group.
Did we make atomic bombs to show them in a museum?
We don't need missiles.
Atomic bombs are a huge army if they can't be used to liberate Palestine.
This is a fascinating development.
Some adversaries are making good on their threats of violence.
Rockets from the largely Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon hit the northern Israeli city of Haifa Wednesday Israeli military officials said four missiles came from Lebanon.
Iron Dome defense system intercepted one of the rockets.
Anti-Israel sentiment is not limited to the Middle East.
China has sponsored a plan at the UN that condemned Israel for its alleged war crimes but said nothing about terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians from Hamas and other Palestinian groups.
U.S.
support for Israel is traceable to the influence of wealthy Jews in the U.S., the host appears to say, on a state-run Chinese media network show.
Jews dominate internet finance and media sectors.
The Israeli embassy in China reprimanded Beijing for broadcasting the remarks.
Calling them appalling and anti-Semitic.
Some Democrats are inviting more foreign meddling, including from Iran.
One of Hamas-alleged chief suppliers of weaponry and support, Senator Chris Murphy, Tuesday met with Iran's UN ambassador in a rare meeting between Tehran and Washington politicians.
The Democrat senator is criticizing the Netanyahu government for a hostile shift in its policies toward Palestinians.
I certainly agree with criticism of Israel in relation to its treatment of the Palestinians, no matter which side it emanates.
Mike Sparks, your thoughts?
My first thing is that the people that regret the totalitarianism of the COVID-19 China flu, none of them are stepping down from their comfy high-level paying positions, are they?
They'll say after the fact crocodile tears.
Whoa, we should maybe not have been so tyrannical but getting back to the COVID-19 being let up so that you could protest Israel thing that just shows you it's a spigot that they could turn on and off when it suits them.
So it's definitely a psychological control mechanism of the sheeple that they now have.
They now have the COVID stay home.
No, don't stay home.
Go out and protest.
They have that Pavlovian switch now, and nobody's demanding that they be fired.
The people that use this mechanism now With the false crocodile tears, they need to be fired, so that they won't do it again.
But you know damn well they're going to do it again.
So, you know, my earlier statement in the earlier show, I still think that's the ultimate solution, is to smother that conflict, get a third party in there to the Palestinian territories, stop all rocket attacks with a tracked armored force, and make Um, goods and services put industry in there to get the Palestinians on their feet in a way that they can't use that money to attack Israel and put an end to this generation, you know, basically not having to work.
They're being paid to protest Israel, just like you got woke tards here in the United States being paid to burn down businesses here in the United States rather than don't get a life.
So stop the subsidization of, you know, criminality, you know, group think, group mass behavior.
Michael, your thoughts.
Yeah, I like that comment that Mike just said about the COVID-19 scenario being a spigot
that you can turn on and off, that like we've seen here in the United States
when they don't say anything about all the BLM and Antifa demonstrations having big crowds on the.
Street at the very same time that people are prevented from going to see their elderly parents and nursing homes and banned from having church services.
This story about the various Gulf states and their having Demonstrations against Israel gets back to what I said earlier about, I think we're seeing a level of protest and pushback against Israel, this time that we hadn't seen in the past.
Whether anything will happen with it or not, it's a continuous frustration that the Israeli tail wags the the United States dog every time they veto any kind of Security Council condemnation or Action against Israel.
So, you know, people can see that, too.
And it's no secret anymore that there is a vicious Jewish mafia in this world.
That's not to say the bulk of Jews are in it, but there's a vicious Jewish mafia in this world that controls a lot of points of power.
And the United Nations is one of them.
You know, I think this is the first time I've seen a foreign power talk about nuking Israel.
That's rather fascinating development.
That ought to give pause to some of those who are seeking to destroy Gaza and Palestinians.
Yeah, but Assad, they should be realizing, hey, they've got unexpected blowback here with their little James Bond-style dirty tricks, that they're getting temporary advantage, but they could lose everything if you get a nation-state with nukes, like Pakistan.
Now, I can't raise my eyebrow, but I'm raising my eyebrow.
How in the hell did Pakistan get nukes?
That's a story into itself.
But you see what I'm saying?
They overplayed their hands.
Stop it.
Stop doing the immoral agent provocateur nonsense.
Get those people in Palestine on their feet.
Get them decent, moral, stoical people, secular.
Wean them off this Islamic stuff.
The best way to win a war is to make your enemy into your friends.
After what the Palestinian people have been through in the last 70 years, nobody deserves help more than they do.
Absolutely, I think we 100% agree.
Meanwhile, Biden to waive sanctions on the firm building the Russian pipeline into Germany, it's already 95% done.
I think the European nations were absolutely opposed to Biden imposing any sanctions on the country building the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline from Russia into Germany.
Two sources briefed on the matter.
The State Department is set to submit its 90-day report to Congress detailing which entities linked to Nord Stream 2 deserve sanctions.
To acknowledge the corporate entity in charge of the product, Nord Stream 2 AG and its CEO, the Putin crony and former East Germany intelligence officer, Matthias Warnig, are engaged in sanctionable activity.
However, They're going to waive the application of those sanctions.
The move would be an about-face for the former Trump's position, but it would also appear to go against Secretary of State Blinken's declaration during his confirmation that he was determined to do whatever we can to prevent that completion.
The Hill pointed out the completion of the pipeline would allow fuel from Russia to bypass Ukraine to reach Europe, undermining the nation's connection to Western Europe.
But the project, 95% complete, should be finished this summer, as determined would need to sanction German citizens a move they're not willing to make because of the damage it would do.
As journalist Glenn Greenwald has observed, This is genuinely a huge gift to Putin.
Biden is waiving sanctions, which will effectively allow Germany to buy natural gas from the Russian pipeline.
Trump spent years trying to sabotage this deal.
Crucial to Russian interests, Biden is allowing it.
In this case, it seemed to be perfectly appropriate.
Russia should be selling gas to Germany.
It's by far the obvious appropriate thing to do.
I'm embarrassed there's been U.S.
opposition to it.
Meanwhile, U.S.-led coalition bombs what they're claiming to be ISIS hideouts in the Iraqi mountains This looks very much as though they're just following any lead.
Anyone who has an enemy can tell the U.S.
these are ISIS here and they'll bomb it.
It appears to be highly irresponsible and not well intelligence.
Meanwhile, the U.S.
is scraping equipment and Bagram Air Base.
That means that we really truly are going forward with a drawdown that we are finally going to get out.
Local residents said between 20 and 30 trailer trucks loaded with scrapped equipment are leaving the base each day to be sold.
Their spare parts are good, but not when they're scrapped.
Now that they are leaving, they're scrapping all their equipment.
Well, Biden ordered all troops out by September 11th.
Comments from U.S.
military officials have suggested the U.S.
might try to leave a presence in the country.
I think that's a very bad idea, and believe me, the Taliban is not going to be fooled.
Mike, your thoughts?
They refuse to do this properly.
If they want a presence there, we could have it, and it's a mobile offshore base.
In the Indian Ocean.
We don't need to have a quick reaction force in Afghanistan being a sore spot that the Taliban can say, look, American infidels are here.
They just want to take our resources.
But DOD refuses to build these things.
Mobile offshore bases.
I know it's a little techno geeky kind of thing here, but I'm telling you there is no real military need to be on soil causing the rebellion, the insurgency, when we could be offshore based.
It's just a scam.
The people that make money with land-based FOBs, Forward Operating Bases, don't want the mobile offshore bases that are on the water, and it's just untenable.
Jim, the Iranians can dial a ballistic missile to a one-meter circular error of probability accuracy.
That means the forward operating base, air base, is dead.
It's obsolete.
It's not tenable.
We've got to stop doing it.
Military incompetence.
Great points, Mike, and with your background advising the Department of Defense and the Marine Corps and the Army, you're well positioned to make these assessments.
Michael Ivey.
Yeah, every time I see a story these days about removing troops from Afghanistan, I think of it as a PR move, because as far as I can tell, they're just turning that job over to private contractors and mercenaries, and that they'll stay.
And Mike Sparks is right, of course, and it's been that way for a long time now.
There's no military need for us to be there.
What the need is, is poppy fields generating heroin and huge deposits of lithium.
In my mind, that's why we're going to maintain a presence there.
It's an interesting turnaround, that story about the Biden administration deciding to release the sanctions on the pipeline.
It, of course, is sorely needed by both sides in financial reasons for Russia and Just the energy source for Europe.
And it's especially strange since our hardcore Zionist Blinken, Anthony Blinken, Secretary of State, specifically came out and said he wanted those sanctions and did not want to see that pipeline go through.
So my intuition is that we're not being told the full story here, and there's been something that's gone down behind the scenes.
Well, I don't think it would be a mystery that would be unified European opposition to any sanctions the Europeans wanted.
It's going to bring them less expensive sources of energy.
It's the right thing to do.
I believe there was unified opposition by the European countries and the U.S.
didn't want to reveal the fact that they were outgunned politically by the consolidated opinion of Europe.

Here's one of the comments on my blog.
Oh well, I say, here's how the world works.
He who has the biggest and most guns wins.
That's Israel.
Time to flatten their enemies.
Enough of this BS.
I'm certainly not going to join this anti-Semitism nonsense.
Bomb, baby, bomb.
I'm not saying it's right.
I am saying, why is it when it's Israel, suddenly people get all high and mighty?
This is how human beings in other countries work.
Atrocities all over the world.
Why does this matter so much more to people?
Simple.
They're anti-Jew.
I thought that was originally just being ironic, but it may be sincere.
Meanwhile, we have the child in this video, a 10-year-old.
He is incredibly courageous and intelligent, staying up for himself and his classmates against wearing masks.
But is it not beyond sad?
We are not standing up for our children and grandchildren by allowing this mass mandates to continue even considering the VAX program in their future.
We are allowing them to abuse, control, and possibly forever damage our own progeny.
I see no excuse.
We all must hang our heads in shame.
I've said this before and will continue to say it.
A society that has deserted its own children in their time of greatest need and vulnerability is lost and irretrievable.
We are all getting close to what we deserve.
So be it.
And here's a photograph of this little boy who spoke up in opposition to the school board about the mask mandate, very appropriately and commendably and featured by Tucker.

Meanwhile, final thoughts.
Michael, yours.
Yeah, I'd like to say some positive things about the pushback that I see happening now against this vaccine regime.
I hate to call it a vaccine.
It's an injection, as you know, and they're trying to get it into as many people in the world as possible.
There was a nice statement.
Dr. Paul Thomas, in an interview with Christiane Northrup, said getting a COVID vaccine is like playing with a hungry rattlesnake.
It's highly likely that you're going to get bit.
There's been another thing is that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, just put out guidance that tells employers who require COVID-19 vaccines in order to be employed told them they are indeed liable for injuries caused by the vaccine because it would in that circumstance qualify as a work related injury.
And also America's frontline doctors say that employers can be legally liable for requiring their employees to submit to that because it's experimental.
It's not been, it's only been released under emergency use authorization.
So that doesn't take away their, their liability.
And Oh, I thought that was also interesting that before a congressional committee, they had Fauci there representing the NIH.
Oh, I forgot to say Tony, the rat, Fauci, and the head of the CDC.
And both of them said that their employees at a rate of about 50% are not taking the vaccine.
Mike Sparks, your final thoughts?
You've got a situation here where whatever is said is one thing.
But there's a real reason behind it.
So you American people have to learn there's an ostensible reason, but then there's the real reason why something's done.
And there's also a false representation of the situation.
And then there's a real situation.
And I'm wearing my sunglasses to bring point to home that when Americans, foreigners, in a country like Afghanistan, this is what they see.
They see these arrogant Americans.
They don't care if it's, you know, you 82nd Airborne or, you know, whatever the SEAL guy is calling his private army.
All they see is American foreign invaders, and that's keeping the rebellion going.
No one's talking about They just keep saying, oh, we can't let another 9-11 happen.
And that's what you call special pleading.
Lying.
Not mentioning there's a way to have a quick reaction force there.
And they can wear all the sunglasses they want if they're on a giant mobile offshore base in the Indian Ocean.
See?
You can wear your glasses all you want.
You're not pissing anybody off.
And you're there if they try to pull some kind of stunt, which as you know is kind of dubious anyway.
But no one's offering that.
I'm the only guy talking about it.
The only guy talking about the military incompetence of saying the only way we can prevent 9-11 is by having a land-based FOB in these foreign countries as a foreign antibody, which is causing rebellion.
It's counterintuitive, but they don't like seeing this.
I don't know.
Do you like it?
I look cool, right?
Well, this is Jim Michael.
I was just answering Mike's question.
I thought I was going to say I thought those were glasses like you'd see in the movie They Live.
I'm seeing through everything.
Now, if I could see through Eva Green's clothing, that would be pretty good.
This is Jim.
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, thanking Michael Ivey of North Carolina and Mike Smarks in Alabama for the excellence of their commentary.
I believe we're seeing the overplay of the Israelis on the one hand in Gaza and of the deep state and the great reset in relation to the coronavirus.
More and more are becoming aware, more and more are speaking out in opposition to both.
These are monstrous crimes.
One is, of course, chronic and of long-standing, the abuse of the Israelis, Palestinians by the Israelis.
The other is acute, but on a massive scale, the coronavirus pandemic fraud, a major scandal.
Let us hope that both are set right and in the short term, in the near future, to preserve ourselves and our posterity.
Thank you for joining us today.
Have a great weekend with your loved ones and family.
