	Jim Fetzer and Madison delighted to be joined today by Joe Olson in Houston and Carl Herman in San Ramon, California.
	We're here to bring you all the news you need to know, which today begins with A red alert with the unelected president of the UK.
	The European Union is calling for forced inoculations.
	UK, Australia, US also developing plans to bring them about.
	Completely outrageous.
	Here she is, this woman named Von Der Leyen, who doesn't seem to have any qualifications whatsoever.
	The EU must consider mandatory vaccinations in response to the spread of the highly contagious Omicron varying across Europe, the European Commission President said.
	They were responding to Omicron before it was even showing up anywhere.
	And since they haven't isolated the other viruses allegedly involved here, they cannot possibly have isolated Omicron.
	Ursula von der Leyen said EU's 27 members should rapidly deploy booster doses in a communique backed by countries opting to temporarily enforce.
	Temporarily enforce!
	Pre-travel PCR tests even within the bloc's borders.
	Allegedly 59 identified cases in the EU.
	I doubt that very much.
	Here are the countries that are hit the hardest.
	The darker numbers, the more severe.
	One-third of the European population not vaccinated.
	Not each and every one can be.
	Children, for example, are people with special medical conditions, but the vast majority could.
	And the EU is planning to move forward.
	Here you have a total number of cases of COVID, total number of deaths.
	You can bet these are minimized numbers, but they're startling any way you check them out.
	Levon Leiden said Pfizer and Moderna was set to deliver 360 million more doses by the end of March, declaring that's good news.
	So go get it!
	Not acknowledging that these vaxes are instruments of death.
	Compulsory vaccination already has approval of the Council of State.
	Referring to the nation's highest administrative court in Greece, the specter of a fine which is going to be imposed in Greece, in addition to rapid tests twice a week, appears to have had a dramatic effect in the first 24 hours since a drastic step was announced 17,500 in the demographic registered for the first shot compared with an average of only 2,600.
	So the coercive techniques are working, but they're all grossly violative of the Nuremberg Code.
	I find it outrageous how the world is proceeding in violation of international law.
	These are non-trivial obligations each state has under the law.
	Voluntary consent being essential.
	Results of experiments for the greater good of society.
	Must be based on prior animal experimentation.
	Must avoid physical, mental suffering and injury.
	No experiment should be conducted believed to cause death or disability.
	The risk should never exceed the benefits.
	All of these are violated by what's taking place here worldwide.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Yeah, well, Ursula actually did get a degree as a medical doctor and she practiced women health for several years, although there was some serious questions about that.
	Turns out her graduating thesis was 40% plagiarized and that she also had a lot of Improperly credited.
	So anyhow, there was a controversy about that, but since she's from a royal Saxony family, they were able to sweep that under the rug.
	And then to make sure that she had plenty of conflict of entrance, her husband, Henko, H-E-I-K-O, She runs a company that manufactures vaccines, so of course she's got a vested interest in making sure everybody gets jabbed.
	The EU is one of the most peculiar political organizations I've ever seen in my whole life.
	You have about 2,000 EU commissioners who are appointed, and nobody knows who appoints them.
	They write absolutely all of the legislation and make all of the rules, and then you have elected MPs, which are from the various 20 member states, and They're only allowed to vote up or down.
	They can debate things, but they can't amend it.
	They can only vote up or down on everything that's placed in front of them.
	And since they're easy to buy off, it's easy to get anything you want passed through the EU.
	It's the most ridiculous, futile form of government imaginable.
	And how those people puff themselves up and say that they're the most superior governmental system on the planet is beyond humiliation.
	It's ridiculous that these people put up with that garbage.
	On its face, that would mean the EU is a Rothschild contrivance to enforce the family's policies on the European nations.
	Carl, your thoughts?
	This is very exciting to me, gentlemen in audience.
	It seems more and more that we really are at the endgame.
	For 59 cases, all mild or asymptomatic, as Joe calls it, the Omicron version or the Omeron or The Oh My Con or the Omnicon version of this.
	So something is going to break and it might be that literal governments will be overthrown in Europe through these requirements from the million people protests every weekend now in those countries.
	We might have a breakthrough in the Maxwell case with the divulgence of who was doing what, where and all those connections that covered it up, especially corporate media.
	We might have a financial collapse.
	So there is all kinds of forces at play, and I hope that this will be the resolution.
	And as always on Need to Know News, we're saying that the truth is going to set us free.
	The facts would demonstrate that we have unimaginable technological capabilities to create a paradise on Earth if the best ideas and that technology would be allowed to move forward.
	With that chart, with the deaths regarding the claimed deaths of COVID, I invite everybody to go to Carl B. Herman Blogspot, go to any of these shows, and then take a look at the 4,700-word essay that I wrote to my 100 teacher colleagues, which will detail and document how those death numbers have been statistically manipulated into a criminal lie.
	Nice points, Carl.
	Very, very good.
	Meanwhile, we have the Sixth Circuit Court ruling against the Biden administration and the OSHA vaccine mandate.
	This is welcome news indeed.
	The Sixth Court has denied the federal government's motion to transfer the OSHA vaccine nor test requirement lawsuit to a different court while also rejecting the White House bid to dissolve a stay on the mandate, a blow to the Biden administration's effort to press ahead with implementation.
	In a December 3rd ruling, the Sixth Circuit Court denied the government's motion to transfer to the Fifth and to the D.C.
	Circuit, while also rejecting his moot, the Biden administration's attempt to overturn a hold on the mandate.
	After the OSHA rule was published, it triggered a torrent of lawsuits from Republican-led states, individuals, and businesses.
	We're back on October 5th.
	12th, the Fifth Circuit Court granted a motion to stay the order and directed OSHA to take no further steps to implement our force, which OSHA obligingly or appropriately did.
	OSHA is actually willing to follow the law.
	The Biden administration filed a motion on November 23rd to lift the Fifth Circuit stay and have the case move to a more favorable court.
	The Sixth Circuit's ruling, however, denied both requests.
	This is good!
	In its November 23rd filing, the Biden administration argued the Fifth Circuit had erroneously interpreted the mandate But they were completely wrong about that.
	They're appealing to the number of lives that would be saved and other two issues that are extra constitutional and beyond the law, which I'm convinced aren't even legal under our form of government.
	Meanwhile, The majority declare the government does not have the authority to mandate these vaccines.
	Most voters hold that the government does not have the authority, according to Erasmus and report issued just last Friday.
	Should the government have the power to make vaccination mandatory?
	57% said no.
	Government does not have that power.
	35% yes, 8% unsure.
	A vast majority of Republicans, 81%, government does not.
	63% of independents agree.
	Most Democrats, however, believe the government does have the power, suggesting they have a flimsy grasp of government.
	In September, Biden announced his decision to direct OSHA to develop a rule for companies with 100 or more employees.
	They released the rule months later, which has since been suspended and now been denied.
	I would say basically obliterated.
	OSHA was good at not moving forward.
	Most Americans understand this is all wrong on its face.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Yeah, well they were able to suppress the Bears report for a very long period of time because a lot of doctors and hospitals were profiting from it, but now the enormous amount of collateral damage from this stuff is being impossible to sweep under the rug, and so the latest bars shows that there was 913,000 injured, 192,000 dead, 975,000 hospitalized, 309,000 disabled, and 30,000 miscarriages from these experimental jabs.
	And it's impossible for you to end up having enough prosecutors and judges that don't have direct relationships to people that have been damaged by this bioweapon for them to be able to continue to hoodwink the judiciary.
	This thing, the wheels are coming off of the cart in every way possible and it Can't happen to a more evil group of people soon enough.
	Oh, I agree, Joe.
	Carl, your thoughts?
	Yeah, we may be just, you know, an episode or two away with our weekly broadcast and having a completely different world to report upon.
	I agree that it is falling apart so quickly and the bullshit that corporate media is putting together talking about how, you know, it's some heartbreak syndrome that people are suffering Through now or it's the cold weather that's causing it, not the jabs.
	The judicial branch in whole is as corrupt as any other branch of government that they made a right decision like that.
	That's good.
	And I'm sure that these black cats are now scrambling, doing calculations of the rats to abandon the ship or whether they want to try to stay on it.
	We'll see how that plays off.
	But yeah, we are not patients of the state.
	This country, the possibility of the United States of America, founded upon the ideals of the Enlightenment and the Declaration of Independence, is that we are free and independent beings.
	We enact a government to uphold our natural rights that we were born with, that we are granted by our Creator.
	And those cannot be taken away.
	Moreover, Federal Title 21, with the Nuremberg Code, put into law, superior federal law, Yeah, it's grotesque, Carl.
	That is our supreme law that these experimental medical products can only be used with the consent
	of the individual. So we're already protected under federal rights guaranteed, but the states
	are going ahead and doing this illegally anyway. We'll see how long they can keep it up.
	Yeah, it's grotesque, Carl. You make some excellent points.
	Meanwhile, Biden wants to extend the mask mandate on planes, toughened testing for
	travelers amid Omicron jitters, ramping up restrictions for travelers within the U.S.,
	requiring more stringent testing protocols, extending the existing mask mandate on domestic flights and
	public transportation.
	It's all complete and total bullshit.
	This tightening testing timeline provides an added degree of public health protection.
	They're claiming, the White House, completely in denial of all the objective scientific evidence that the catastrophic effects of the vaccine are killing more and more Americans and disabling others.
	Biden's expected to encourage Americans to get a booster shot.
	He was doing that today and announcing steps meant to expand vaccine uptake.
	All very bad.
	Pharmacy partners are launching broad-based outreach campaigns.
	Yeah, of course.
	They make lots of money.
	Big bucks.
	They're cheap to produce and they are expensive to buy.
	We have public health tools.
	We need to continue to fight this virus without shutting down our schools and businesses.
	Right.
	But they're going to use that as a threat for the future.
	Have no doubt.
	The White House claims the current authorized vaccine provides some protection against a new strain that booster shots strengthen the protection for which there's no evidence whatsoever.
	Meanwhile, we know vaccine mandates will disrupt the supply chains further if truckers are warning.
	The main trucking lobbies in Canada and the U.S.
	are warning vaccine and testing requirements for workers will further disrupt supply chains because there's already a dire shortage of drivers.
	More than two-thirds of goods traded between Canada and the U.S.
	travel on roads and highways.
	For most of the pandemic, truckers crossed the border regularly as they were considered essential workers to keep supply chains flowing.
	We know there's already disruption.
	This is only going to intensify it.
	Estimates are on that 10 to 20% or between 12,000 and 22,000 of Canadian truck drivers, 40% or some 16,000 of U.S.
	truck drivers traveling into Canada will be sidelined if the requirement begins.
	This is not a trucking issue.
	This is a Canada-U.S.
	economic issue.
	Adding 70 percent of the 650 billion Canadian, 507 billion U.S.
	trade moves by truck.
	The American Trucking Association, together with others, is seeking to block Biden's vaccine mandate in court and the mask mandate as well.
	Supply chain problems caused by the pandemic have contributed to inflation in both countries rising to decade-high levels.
	Given the nature of our industry and makeup of our workforce, it could have devastating impacts on the supply chain and the economy.
	Let me add, We have a deputy secretary.
	The Treasury has already announced that the supply issues aren't going to go away until every American is vaxxed, which means it's a deliberate policy of the United States to interfere with supply until every American is vaxxed.
	That's called extortion.
	Some would call it blackmail.
	It's despicable, but that's what we're getting from Biden, Joe.
	Yeah, well, this is from the Real Donald Trump blog spot on Gab.
	Biden said he was going to, quote, beat the virus, unquote, but instead the virus has beaten him and badly.
	Four more people died this year than last, despite tremendous help from vaccines and therapeutics developed under Trump.
	He said this with the result that he should leave office.
	Well, Joe, what are you waiting for?
	Yeah, here we have Mr. Warp Speed himself sitting around polishing his damn experimental jab halo.
	We're sick to death of it.
	Great article also at Gab.com.
	His bankers think Americans are rude by Henry Macao going into the origins of the I couldn't agree more.
	reserve and the attempted takeover and colonization of America by the League of Nations, which we were
	thankfully able to avoid, but they ended up redoing it again in 1946 as the United Nations. So
	we've been under this colonial yoke since the day we thought we got freedom, and it's time for us to
	get real freedom from these international banking mafia. I couldn't agree more. Carl, your thoughts?
	Yeah, that thing about having a test within 24 hours, I would imagine.
	So they're just putting up the pressure for people to get vaccinated, because if you're going to travel and you've got to get a test, you've got to have a test result within 24 hours.
	That's kind of tricky logistics to do.
	The idea that these monsters, these psychopaths, these 0.01% neo-colonial rogue state imperialists, that they care about health and that's motivating them is bullshit.
	If they cared about health, they wouldn't do the illegal wars.
	If they cared about health, They would have universal health care.
	If they cared about health, then they would end poverty.
	They do the opposite.
	This is virtue signaling.
	This is just a story to get the legal right to inject the sheeple population.
	The vaccine offers no... So what they're saying, they're admitting, because they want everyone vaccinated, is that those who are already vaccinated are not protected.
	End of story.
	The vaccine doesn't work.
	So therefore, we need to flip the script on these psychopathic liars and demand their arrest for the violation of the oath of office they have to uphold our rights, not to protect us for their interpretation of health.
	Yes, yes, absolutely.
	You got it exactly right, Carl.
	Meanwhile, Alan Dershowitz to Newsmax, SCOTUS on the verge of a cataclysmic political event.
	While Roe v. Wade has been the president for 50 years, it is withstanding its biggest legal test right now, according to constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz, as Mississippi seeks to move the timetable on abortion restrictions.
	There are only three justices I think today would uphold Roe v. Wade completely, said Dershowitz, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Alina Kagan, putting at least a partial unwinding on the table right now.
	Conservatives Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch figure to be on the side of overruling Roe v. Wade.
	Roberts is in the middle, likely attempting to pull in the newest justices, Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, to join him, according to Dershowitz.
	The key question is whether Roberts can persuade either Comey or Kavanaugh to join him in upholding Roe v. Wade, while also upholding the Mississippi statute that changed the timing from viability of a fetus from 23 weeks to 15 weeks.
	So if he can get one of them to join him, we will not see Roe v. Wade overruled, at least not yet.
	Without Barrett and Kavanaugh joining Roberts and the Liberals, Roe v. Wade is going to be forever changed, what Gershwin has described as a cataclysmic political event.
	The ruling on Mississippi might change more than the legal precedent on a woman's right to choose abortion might ultimately change the court forever, he concluded.
	I think the choice between either overruling Roe v. Wade or the middle ground upholding Mississippi but not overruling, I think that is right now in process.
	I think Roberts is working hard on the two justices to persuade them.
	The court's integrity depends on not overruling.
	Even if it's a wrong, many of them think it is, a precedent on the books for 50 years.
	I think Dershowitz is right.
	Here we have a piece by Stephen Chapman, abortion bans don't protect the rights of the people.
	On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments that wants to move banning to the 15th week.
	The law roundly defies this court's decision affirming the right to abortion, but the state portrays the band as the modest, the mildest of correctives.
	Justice Kavanaugh seemed to find the argument of Mississippi persuasive that the court should be scrupulously neutral on the question of abortion, neither pro-choice nor pro-line.
	Letting the people decide.
	Aligning the court to neither promote nor prevent sounds sensible, even libertarian, meaning let the states decide.
	Under the court's major abortion decision, the people as individuals already have full authority to make up their minds on the issue.
	Those who believe every pregnancy should be carried to term are free to forgo abortions.
	Those who disagree are free to procure abortions.
	No woman is forced to abort her fetus.
	No woman is forced to undergo under Roe v. Wade.
	This is why I believe it was a proper decision and should not be overruled.
	By the same token, the court has adopted a position of neutrality.
	Just as the Constitution doesn't let government forbid or require anyone to worship, the Constitution does not let the government forbid or require anyone to rear a child.
	Each pregnant woman is free to decide for herself.
	But when Stewart and Kavanaugh use these terms, they have in mind a different meaning.
	If Roe and Casey were overturned, the people would be empowered, not as individuals, but as a collective.
	The court would be neutral only on the matter of whether Stewart's allow abortion or ban it.
	Applying these meanings to different constitutional rights and the defects in their logic become clear.
	Champions of gun rights have always argued it's the right of the people to keep and bear arms and individual liberty, as the court agreed in 2008.
	They believe the court must keep the people of any state from using the power to abridge this right.
	Americans who believe in free speech and religious liberty feel the same about the First Amendment, meaning The government should uphold the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the right to an abortion across all of the states, not devolve to the states that allow them to sort it out for themselves.
	Stewart insists abortion rights are different because the framers didn't explicitly protect them.
	The Roe and Casey decisions, he argued, have no basis in the Constitution, no home in our history and traditions.
	However, in fact, they have a spacious place in our history and traditions in his 2017 book, Sex and the Constitution.
	University of Chicago professor Geoffrey Stone notes abortion was legal and widely performed in the U.S.
	at the time the Constitution was ratified, not outlawed, for more than a century later.
	It's true the Constitution doesn't mention the right to abortion, But the Constitution protects many freedoms it doesn't mention.
	The freedom to marry, freedom to refuse medical treatment, I emphasize, the freedom to have children and govern their upbringing, and more.
	Not the schools, not the state.
	The Ninth Amendment stipulates that not all protected liberties are spelled out.
	The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
	If the Constitution has nothing to say about abortion, does that mean a state could require some women to have abortion, say, to prevent the birth of children with serious congenital defects?
	Of course not.
	Requiring abortion would be a gross violation of physical autonomy, which enjoys broad constitutional protection.
	But banning abortion has the same effect.
	Yet, the Supreme Court appears poised to let it happen.
	Pro-life advocates say abortion ends a human life, as though that settled everything.
	But the issue is not whether a fetus is alive or human, it's whether and when its preservation is sufficiently important to override a woman's fundamental right to control her own body, where in essence, under Roe v. Wade, the court declared that the developing fetus becomes a person with a basic right to life at the end of the second trimester, with which I agree.
	100%.
	Americans have long disagreed on that question, a powerful argument for leaving the choice to each pregnant woman.
	Right now, we let people decide one by one under the protection of a neutral government, but probably not for long.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Well, since both of my daughters were born severely premature,
	one four pound and six ounces, and she lost like six ounces.
	My youngest daughter was two pounds and 12 ounces, and she lost 10 ounces in the ICU neonatal unit.
	You know, I have a profound respect for what it takes to produce life.
	And both of my daughters grow up and they're very successful and I'm really happy with them.
	So, you know, the Roe versus Wade ruling was protected abortion up to 24 weeks.
	Well, now we've had individual states say, you can go ahead and do post-birth abortions.
	You can deliver everything but the head, stick a pair of scissors up there
	and poke the kid's brain out and suck it out.
	And then you can turn around and sell their organs.
	I don't know what more barbaric practices you could have as a nation to allow that to happen.
	But if states can do that, they can certainly do their own abortions.
	And there's nothing in the constitution about it.
	And it was an overreach on the point of the Supreme Court to make that ruling to begin with.
	And it deserves to be overturned.
	Let the states decide if they want to do it, and I'm sorry the country's not that big that you can't find some way to get to a state that will allow you to do almost anything you want to do, so live with it.
	Carl, your thoughts?
	That was a great article.
	I've always felt that Roe versus Wade was a nice balance for the viability of the considered human interest.
	And to change it from 23 weeks to 15 weeks, if that's what the science is pushing, I really haven't looked, then I would be more for that.
	But allowing a woman's ability to have an abortion is certainly would seem to be consistent with integral freedom For for a woman and there would be a market for that.
	And I don't see the viability of an argument of a government to make that illegal, except through pushing some sort of a unpopular, perverse religious perspective upon everyone.
	Yeah, viability remains constant in the second trimester, 24 weeks.
	It's not a question of harder brain development, but lung development, the ability to survive in the exclusive of the uterine environment.
	And while technology can cope with premature babies, that doesn't alter the viability standard that's creating an artificial uterine environment.
	So I believe that pro-choice is the democratic and American solution, that rejecting it turns women into reproductive slaves required to carry an unwanted fetus to term, where we know the history thereafter from sociological and demological studies that unwanted fetuses Become unwanted children who turn into juvenile delinquents and criminals and all that, putting an additional drag on society, as long as we're dealing with a non-person.
	I respect Roe v. Wade as the proper decision, but also the right of everyone else to hold their different opinion about it.
	I do believe the pro-choice position is the only democratic choice, allowing each woman to act in accordance with her beliefs.
	Meanwhile, here we have a stunning study.
	listen to this about gender, open gender bathrooms.
	Taking steps to create more inclusive and supportive schools.
	One change that will be implemented this school year relates to our school bathrooms.
	In compliance with new federal guidelines, all CPS students and staff will have fair
	and equitable access to bathroom facilities that align with their gender identity.
	We will be providing all schools with updated signage that makes our bathrooms more inclusive.
	It will identify the fixtures available in each restroom and make it clear that all restrooms are open for use
	by anyone who feels comfortable.
	Staff will continue to have staff-only restrooms available to them.
	This is an incredibly important step to increase gender equity for all, which is why we will be requiring all schools to post this signage by December 1st of this school year.
	Our district's Office of Student Protections in Title IX is also working on a long-term plan to create more permanent signage for our bathrooms.
	I encourage you to visit our website at cps.edu forward slash osp to learn more about our comprehensive approach to creating more inclusive equitable and safe schools.
	I think this is a perfect example of why the Democrats are going to go down in flames in 2022.
	I mean, this is idiotic!
	Allowing boys and girls to share because it's more inclusive?
	How idiotic can you get?
	Joe, before we turn to our discussion about World War II, I'd appreciate your thoughts about this move as, in my opinion, further idiocy by the far left.
	Yeah, well, basically what it is, it's gender dysphoria for everybody.
	So, no matter what sex you thought you were, somebody that's not the same sex that you thought they were is going to be in the bathroom with you.
	So, you already had a problem with female bathrooms not having enough fixtures and having too long of lines and women taking more time to go to the bathroom than girls.
	Uh, so what's gonna compound this is adding another 10 or 20 percent of the guys who would rather be in there sniffing around seeing what's going on in the girls' potty.
	And like Dana Lash said, I don't know what the fascination is about going into the women's restroom.
	What we're doing is is in there dropping deuces, so get over it.
	It's just ridiculous, Carl.
	Your thoughts?
	It is.
	Well, this is from Chicago and this is Mayor Lightfoot.
	And you're right, Jim, we're witnessing the destruction of the Democratic Party.
	They slice off a microscopic portion of the population and pretend to care about them while they allow, you know, a million children to die from preventable poverty every month.
	It's just the illusion of progress.
	It's just something to make us argue.
	This is just a divide to conquer strategy.
	And, uh, Man, I will be glad to see the end of this version of the Democratic Party.
	This will be the last version of the Democratic Party.
	I do think they're going extinct like the dodo, that they've proven themselves to be utterly incompetent.
	Meanwhile, in honor of World War II, we have a number of observations.
	Operation Aishi, the rescue of Benito Mussolini.
	It's an understatement to say 1943 hadn't been a good year for Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
	His desire to hold sway over the whole of North Africa ended in a humiliating defeat.
	An increasingly confident Soviet Union inflicted unsustainable casualties.
	The Allied invasion of Sicily brought World War II to Italy's back door.
	Unlike in Germany, where Hitler and his inner circle ruled the country with an iron hand, Italy still had a king and a council that could, if they so desired, remove the increasingly desperate Mussolini from office.
	As July began, Mussolini was barely holding on, but for how long?
	On July 19, 1943, Allied bombers appeared over the eternal city of Rome.
	It was not the first time it had been bombed, but it would prove to be a crucial turning point in the dictator's downfall.
	The bombers flattened the mainly working-class area of San Lorenzo, caused extensive damage to two of Rome's airports, reduced parts of the ancient Basilica of St.
	Lawrence outside the walls to rubble.
	Enough was enough.
	At this moment, he was the most hated man in Italy.
	Fierce members of the government turned against their beleaguered leader, culminating in a vote of no confidence by the Grand Council on the 24th of July.
	The following day, Il Duce was summoned to the palace of King Victor Emmanuel III for what he thought would be one more of their regular biweekly meetings.
	The king told him, however, he was being replaced by Marshal Pietro Badaglio.
	My dear Duce, it's no longer any good, the king told the crestfallen dictator.
	Italy has gone to bits.
	The soldiers don't want to fight anymore.
	At this moment, you are the most hated man in Italy.
	Mussolini left the palace in a state of shock.
	He'd ruled Italy since 1922.
	Now he was unceremoniously booted out of office.
	His mood darkened when he was immediately arrested by members of the Calberini, the Italian military police, and imprisoned on the orders of the king.
	When Hitler received news of Mussolini's downfall, he was appalled.
	If Mussolini could be so easily deposed, perhaps the same fate awaited him.
	Furious and fearful of the implication of a potential alliance between the Allies and what he now presumed would be a hostile Italy, he decided the only course of action was to annex former Italian territory and overseas possessions and rescue his fellow dictator from captivity.
	The Italians had suspected Hitler might mount a rescue, so Mussolini was being moved around continuously to throw the Germans off the scent.
	Hitler, however, anticipated the tactic.
	He sent Hauptsturmfuhrer Otto Skorensky to Italy to track the dictator down and mount a rescue effort.
	The rescue of Mussolini would be codenamed Operation Ike.
	Sikorsky had seen action during the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941.
	After being hit in the back of the head by shrapnel in 1942, for which he received the Iron Cross, he'd been assigned a staff job in Berlin.
	Where he developed techniques for unconventional command of warfare.
	It didn't take Scorenzi long to track the deposed dictator down.
	Intercepted radio transmission revealed he was being held under armed guard at the Hotel Campo, a ski resort high in the Epin Mountains in the Gran Sasso region of southern Italy.
	The problem was how to get him out.
	Aerial reconnaissance revealed the hotel's location on top of a mountain ruled out a parachute assault, but they revealed a small patch of land adjacent to the hotel that appeared to be a perfect landing for a squadron of gliders.
	On the morning of 12 September 1943, Skorzenki and a crack team of SS commando and small Schrupp-Jager paratroops boarded 10 DFS-230 gliders and set off from a small airport near Rome.
	As they approached the landing site, he realized a patch of ground earmarked for landing was in fact a steep, rocky slope.
	Not a flat piece of ground the aerial photographs had suggested.
	The gliders had no choice but to crash land on the slope, causing injury to some of the troops.
	Meanwhile, in the valley below two paratroop units by Operation Ike's Commander-in-Chief Major Harold Moore was captured.
	The Funiclar Railway that usually carried tourists up to the hotel.
	He ordered all telephone lines severed, cutting off communication with the outside world.
	Once on land, Skorsky and shock troops stormed the hotel.
	It was heavily guarded by 200 members of the cabarini, but he had a plan he hoped would make them surrender.
	He brought with him the Italian General Fernando Solletti.
	As the troops rushed through the doors, Solletti called for the guards not to shoot.
	Confused, they laid down their arms and surrendered.
	After smashing their radios so no one would be tempted to call for backup, Skorzeny dashed upstairs and began searching the rooms for Mussolini when he finally found them.
	He cried, Duce, the Fuhrer has sent me your freak.
	Mussolini was overcome with emotion.
	I knew my friend Adolf wouldn't desert me.
	By now, Major Morrison made his way up the mountain and entered the hotel.
	He greeted Mussolini, introduced himself.
	The grinning Italian dictator posed for photograph.
	Scorsene radioed for a Fleischer Fi-156 Stoll short takeoff and landing plane to come and pick him up.
	The plane made the tricky landing on the strip of rocky ground.
	The Italian leader was escorted after waving a tearful goodbye.
	The plane was designed to carry two passengers, But Skorzeny insisted on escorting the dictator, making the plane dangerously overloaded.
	Why would Skorzeny risk the mission at this late stage?
	Overloading the plane would make it harder to tape off?
	The answer was simple.
	If anything happened to Mussolini, Skorzeny would be held personally responsible, not known for a forgiving nature.
	Hitler would undoubtedly demand he fall on his sword should Mussolini be lost.
	If he was going down, he might as well go down in flames.
	And so, The overloaded plane trundled down the makeshift runway and managed to get into the air.
	There was a hairy moment when it appeared to plunge into the valley below.
	When the pilot managed to get the nose up, the plane flew off toward Rome, while the rest of Mussolini's relieved rescuers prepared to make their way back to friendly territory on furs.
	On foot, Operation Ike had been a spectacular success, with not a shot being fired.
	Hitler was shocked to see his old friend when the two were reunited on the 14th of September at the Fuhrer's Wuthler bunker in the forest outside the town of Rassenburg.
	Mussolini cut a sorry figure, having lost a considerable amount of weight, but the important thing was his old friend was saved.
	Of course, as it turned out, the rescue was a hollow victory, having been set up by Hitler as a puppet leader of a newly created Italian social republic.
	Mussolini acknowledged he was now nothing more than one of Hitler's underlings.
	In an interview with Madeleine Moliere, the wife of an embassy press attache who'd interviewed the dictator back in 1938, Mussolini knew the end was nigh.
	Seven years ago, I was an interesting person.
	Now I'm little more than a corpse.
	Yes, ma'am, I am finished.
	My star has fallen.
	I have no fight left in me.
	I work and I try, yet I know all is but a farce.
	I wait the end of the tragedy and strangely detached from everything.
	I do not feel any more than an actor.
	I feel I am the last of spectators.
	The end came swift as the Allies battled their way through northern Italy.
	Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Pettisi, tried to make a break for neutral Switzerland on the 27th of April 1945.
	Mussolini, his mistress, and their entourage were captured by Italian partisans near the village of Dongo on the shores of Lake Cuomo.
	The next morning, the once-mighty Il Duce was shot dead by firing squad.
	His corpse, alongside that of his mistress and several of his supporters, was unceremoniously strung up from the roof of an Esso petrol station in Milan.
	It was an undignified end for a man who'd ruled Italy for over 20 years, though few Italians mourned his passing.
	Mussolini may have escaped from the clutches of his enemy in 1943, but his crimes against his own people and the rest of the world meant he could not escape justice forever.
	That's about World War II in Europe, and it's a fascinating chapter.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Yeah, amazingly enough, in spring of 1943, Patton was able to sweep through Sicily rapidly and then made invasions into the Italian mainland.
	There's a ridge of mountains that runs down the middle of Italy, and basically you have two shores with a couple of mountain passes that cross between them.
	The Germans had 900,000 Germans in Italy, and the Italians had 900,000 Italians.
	In April, as a matter of fact, on April 27, 1943, the Italian partisans took Mussolini as a
	prisoner and then they said that they wanted to switch sides and help the allies.
	And there was also 900,000 Italian troops on the Eastern Front with German forces in Moscow.
	So had the Italians been able to switch sides, the war would have been shortened by probably two years.
	Patton had a lot of Italian-Americans in his units, and they were constantly talking with their former cousins and aunts and uncles and everyone that they knew in Italy, and
	he repeatedly made requests to Eisenhower to allow the Italians to exit the war and join the Allies,
	and he was constantly rebuked.
	And we'll get a little further discussion about some of the other reasons why Target Patent happened.
	They killed him.
	The OSS killed him, and we'll get into discussion more about the other things that he had against Eisenhower and the command staff of the United States Army.
	Absolutely horrifying.
	Nice points, Joe.
	Carl?
	Well, as a professional historian, trying to get to the bottom and get your hands on the actual data is nearly impossible.
	So I've, and In addition to that, with my family members thinking that World War II was a good war, when I found out otherwise that there were just as many lies, I kind of stayed away from that.
	But I can provide the context is that, so this was a neo-colonial, so we had a colonialism.
	The Europeans fought each other to steal the colonies from each other.
	There's no dignity in that.
	There's no honor in that.
	The winners stole the losers colonies.
	And then in world war two, this was just part two for that war.
	And as, uh, we can get into the U S and the UK, certainly we're not the good guys on that fight.
	Just take a look at the world that they, uh, managed today.
	And that is the heart that they brought into world war two as well.
	Nice, nice points.
	Now, having been born.
	A year and a day before Pearl Harbor, the occurrence of which we observe tomorrow makes today my birthday.
	It's been very disturbing to discover from Robert Stennett, for example, that FDR knew the attack was coming and allowed it to happen.
	He believed the United States was too much in an isolationist mood that it was important that we join our allies in Europe.
	And that the attack on Pearl in the Pacific would break the spell and lead to the U.S.
	invasion.
	He delivers a definitive final chapter on America's greatest secret, our worst military disaster, Drawing on 20 years of research and access to scores of previously classified documents that prove Pearl Harbor was not an accident, a mere failure of American intelligence, or a brilliant Japanese military coup, by showing that ample warning of the attack was on FDR's desk, and furthermore, that a plan to push Japan into the war was initiated at the highest level of the U.S.
	government, He ends up profoundly altering our understanding of one of the most significant events in American history, including that we had cut off Japanese access to oil in the South Pacific and provoked them, in fact, to attack the United States, which FDR knew was coming and did not inform the base commander to prepare himself for the attack.
	A gross betrayal of American military forces, which he believed was in the greater interest of the United States, and for which he took responsibility.
	Not openly and publicly, of course, but he made the fateful decision.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Yeah, well, Pearl Harbor betrayed.
	I've studied this extensively.
	We had a great Army officer during World War I named Billy Mitchell, absolutely outstanding, and he realized the extremely increasing power of air power for future wars, and so he advocated for aircraft carriers and for more development of aircraft, and he was fought by the brass in the Navy because they said, oh, battleships are the way to go, and so the generals and the admirals are always fighting last war.
	And so they were determined that that was going to be what was the deciding factor when your maximum range on an Iowa-class battleship with 16-inch guns was less than 40 miles.
	So in 1923, he staged the sinking of the dreadnoughts New Jersey and Virginia off the Atlantic coast.
	And in order to prove that he could do it with aircraft, At ranges where they couldn't be shot down with any aircraft guns, he bombed them from 10,000 feet and was successfully able to sink both of those ships.
	And to prove that he could do it over the horizon, he flew from bases that were 150 miles away.
	They ignored him, so in 1925 he wrote a book called Wing Winged Defense, which was about a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, where they would station four aircraft carriers northwest of the island, and they would attack in three waves.
	He explained exactly how the Japanese did it.
	They used his book as their battle plan.
	And we knew that that was going to happen.
	We had all four of our aircraft carriers stationed southwest of Hawaii, 400 miles away, where we knew they'd be safe because we also knew that our wooden deck aircraft carriers were not going to be able to stand up to any kind of bombing, but we thought the Japanese couldn't possibly bomb one of our beautiful, wonderful Battleships.
	So the whole thing was an absolute fraud.
	We had broken the two Japanese codes for radio, and we knew exactly everything they were doing six months to a year, depending on which code they were using prior to the battle.
	And so FDR absolutely knew.
	And to make things even worse, FDR was involved in provocations in the Atlantic On September 4th, 1941, the USS Greer got into a fire exchange with German U-boats.
	On October 17th, the USS Cary got into a conflict with a German U-boat, and they torpedoed it, killed 11 and injured 22.
	And then on October 31st, 1941, the USS Reuben James got into a firefight with a German U-boat and got sunk and killed all 115 men on board.
	And FDR didn't make a big stink about that because he was waiting for the Pearl Harbor bomb to go off so he could get us into a war where everybody was 100% into it.
	Absolutely insane!
	Carl, your thoughts?
	Napoleon remarked that history is written by the winners.
	So what we have is unreliable testimony that Roberts did it in the D.A.C.
	I love the digging that he did to be able to come up with the factual presentation that he has.
	And it's not just day of deceit.
	It's days, months, years, decades.
	It's a planet of deceit.
	So if you go to Carl B. Herman Blogspot, any of these shows, and you take a look at a paper that I wrote of U.S.
	illegal rogue state empire, you can take a look and confirm to yourself that I took like the top 10 historical lie started illegal U.S.
	wars so that you can see the character of the American government and conclude to yourself that anything that they say is unreliable testimony.
	And even in this short vignette of this show, we're able to demonstrate that key aspects of the Second World War are provable lies.
	So this is the type of government that the United States has been and still is today.
	And I'm sorry to say that we have additional evidence in the form of a documentary showing how American forces abuse their position in the South Pacific.
	These are high-ranking military authorities of the U.S.
	Army.

	Army generals in the Philippines at the beginning of World War II was atrocious.
	The conquest of the Philippines by Japan was the worst major military defeat in United States history.
	After just four months of fighting, over 23,000 American military personnel were killed or captured, while embedded Filipino soldiers killed or captured totaled over 100,000.
	The soldiers fought well, The overall defense plan was horribly incompetent, resulting in a rapid defeat by a smaller Japanese force.
	Three important incidents demonstrated treachery by U.S.
	Army generals.
	The Japanese planned to attack Pearl Harbor and Clark Field in the Philippines at nearly the same time.
	The attack on Clark would occur five hours later at daybreak.
	American generals had overcrowded Clark with new B-17 bombers that were lined up in an attractive target.
	This may have been intentional to encourage a Japanese attack from its air bases in nearby Formosa, now known as Taiwan.
	General Douglas MacArthur commanded U.S.
	military forces in the Philippines.
	He received a phone call alerting him to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
	Heavy fog covered Japanese airfields in Formosa early that morning.
	Launching and assembling a large number of aircraft was impossible, so the attack was delayed.
	In the nine hours that elapsed between that phone call and the aerial attacks in the Philippines, MacArthur did nothing and refused visitors.
	He followed secret orders from President Roosevelt to allow the Japanese to make the first overt act of war in the Philippines.
	U.S.
	Army Air Corps officers at Clark Airfield learned of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor from radio broadcasts, not from MacArthur in nearby Manila.
	The official American war plan called for an immediate bombing raid on Japanese airfields on Cormosa.
	The U.S.
	Army Air Corps commander in the Philippines was Major General Louis Brereton.
	He went to MacArthur's office twice for approval to launch a bombing raid on Formosa, but MacArthur refused to meet with him.
	General Brierton knew the Japanese would soon attack, so ordered all aircraft at Clark to get airborne and sweep northward to search for approaching Japanese ships and aircraft.
	They found nothing because the Japanese attack had been delayed by fog.
	After a few hours, aircraft ran low on fuel and returned to Clark to tank up.
	Meanwhile, the fog had lifted over Formosa, and the Japanese finally got their aircraft launched and assembled for a massive airstrike.
	They arrived over Clark to find most aircraft sitting on the ground to refuel.
	The United States lost 18 of 35 B-17s, plus 90 other aircraft, and many more were damaged.
	Total casualties for the day were 80 killed and 150 wounded.
	The total cost to the Japanese was just seven fighter aircraft.
	The Japanese landed its main invasion force at Langayen Gulf and attacked south towards Manila, just as the American war plan had predicted.
	This was the only route that avoided mountains and could use developed roads.
	The Japanese assumed the Americans would defend choke points caused by swamps north of Manila.
	They were confused as the American forces withdrew westward into the undeveloped Bataan Peninsula.
	See the video link below about MacArthur's incompetent defense of the Philippines, for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
	The Japanese quickly captured Manila and then moved westward to Bataan.
	The primary problem for the Japanese was moving supplies and equipment all the way from Langayen.
	There was no port or even pier available to offload supplies near Bataan, Except the excellent port facilities at the Subic Naval Station.
	This is why millions of dollars were spent to fortify Grande Island with big guns to guard the entrance of Subic Bay.
	These guns included two large 10-inch, four 6-inch, eight 3-inch, and two 155-millimeter howitzers.
	Soldiers there also maintained sea mines that blocked the entrance and had months of food and ammunition.
	The fort's guns were protected by concrete.
	Fort Wendt was key to the defense of Bataan, as it was the only fortified and well-stocked defensive installation.
	Its guns denied the enemy use of the Subic port and could fire southwards to blast roads leading into Bataan.
	The Japanese would have to capture Subic and Fort Wendt before attacking into Bataan.
	Americans could have made this far more difficult by assigning a regiment to defend the mountain road leading to Subic supported by the big guns at Fort Wendt.
	These withdrawing soldiers could retreat to Fort Wendt to bolster its defenses.
	They would also sink all boats in Subic Bay or take them to Fort Wendt so the Japanese ground force could not invade the island.
	The Japanese would need to assemble an amphibious force to attack from the sea, whose ships would face Fort Wendt's big guns, sea mines, and PT boat attacks.
	Army generals had developed detailed plans for the defense of Bataan before war began and knew that defending Subic and Fort Wendt was vital.
	Capturing the defendants Subic and Fort Wendt would have inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese and delayed their attack into Bataan for months.
	The Manila Island forts were vulnerable to attack from Bataan, so Fort Wendt was constructed to protect Bataan.
	Yet Fort Wendt and Subic were abandoned as the Japanese forces approached.
	The Japanese faced no opposition as they captured Subic and Fort Wendt and bragged about all the food and ammunition captured there.
	Japanese ships soon entered Subic Bay to offload troops and cargo and bombarded American forces in Bataan.
	This was such a threat that U.S.
	Navy PT boats from Manila attacked Subic several times, doing some damage, but one was sunk and others damaged by Japanese troops firing from Fort Wendt.
	No investigation was done into this gross incompetence that undermined the entire defensive plan.
	Some Americans called Frenchmen surrender monkeys due to the poor performance of their army in 1940.
	Few Americans know the embarrassing mass surrender of thousands of American soldiers in 1942.
	Most were captured in the Bataan Peninsula after General MacArthur ordered them into a trap due to his incompetence.
	But the worst embarrassment was the surrender of thousands of soldiers in the Central and Southern Philippines who were not trapped nor starving.
	This was the Visayan Mindanao Force, commanded by Major General William F. Sharp, pictured here with his staff.
	He commanded forces in the Central and Southern Philippines, consisting of three infantry divisions that were spread throughout the region.
	The Japanese landed forces on only three of the large islands to the south.
	On the largest island of Mindanao, pictured, the Japanese defeated units defending cities, but most of the American force was still intact and capable of organized resistance in remote portions of the island.
	On the islands of Cebu and Panay, Commanders withdrew into well-stocked retreats in the mountains from where they planned to wage guerrilla war.
	Any effort to drive them from these strongholds would have involved the Japanese and a long and expensive campaign.
	Before Lieutenant General Jonathan Wainwright surrendered his forces that were trapped in Bataan and nearby island ports, he sent messages to relinquish command of the Visayan Mindanao force and Director General Sharp to report to General MacArthur in Australia for orders.
	When he offered to surrender his forces, the Japanese commander told Wainwright that his surrender would not be accepted unless it included all American and Philippine troops in the Philippines.
	Wainwright told him, quote, The troops on the Visayan Islands, or on Mindanao, are no longer under my command.
	They are commanded by General Sharp, who in turn is under General MacArthur's high command.
	After General MacArthur learned that Wainwright had surrendered, he immediately ordered General Sharp to, quote, Communicate all matters directly to me and formally assume direct command of the Visayan Mindanao force.
	American officers knew that MacArthur expected them to continue to fight as guerrillas to tie up thousands of Japanese troops.
	The Japanese still insisted that General Wainwright surrender all forces in the Philippines, and he worried the Japanese would kill prisoners if those in the South did not surrender.
	There is no direct evidence that the Japanese threatened to kill prisoners.
	During the 1946 war crimes trials in Tokyo, senior American officers admitted that no threat had been made.
	The Japanese knew that killing prisoners at Bataan would ensure that no one in the Pacific would ever surrender and that the thousands of Japanese civilians working in the Philippines or any Japanese soldier taken prisoner might be killed in retaliation.
	They also knew that General MacArthur, who had recently escaped from Corregidor aboard a PT boat, was the overall commander.
	General Wainwright made a radio broadcast to please the Japanese, announcing that he had reassumed command of all forces in the Philippines who must lay down their arms and surrender.
	General Sharp contacted General MacArthur's headquarters and repeated the gist of the surrender broadcast.
	A reply came promptly.
	Quote, orders from General Wainwright have no validity.
	If possible, separate your force into small elements and initiate guerrilla operations.
	The Japanese and General Wainwright assumed his order would be ignored, so flew his operations officer, accompanied by Japanese officers, to Mindanao to pressure General Sharp.
	For unknown reasons, General Sharp relented and sent messages to all units under his command, ordering them to surrender.
	Most of his colonels objected, but only agreed after General Sharp lied and told them General MacArthur had approved The Japanese would slaughter American prisoners if they refused.
	His second-in-command, Brigadier General Bradford Chynoweth, commanded 20,000 troops in the Central Philippines.
	He refused to surrender without orders from both General MacArthur and the War Department in Washington, D.C.
	Sharp insisted that General MacArthur had ordered a surrender and dispatched one of his officers to pressure Chynoweth.
	He threatened him and other reluctant officers with severe disciplinary consequences if they failed to surrender their units.
	All American officers surrendered their forces, but most of their Filipino soldiers rebelled and deserted.
	Many others deserted into the mountains to fight on their own, to include dozens of American soldiers.
	This surrender was not poor judgment by General Sharp.
	This was treason.
	He disregarded direct orders from General MacArthur and collaborated with the enemy to trick his units to surrender.
	The Japanese brutalized and killed many prisoners anyway.
	Anyone who doubts these events can read the U.S.
	Army's official history, linked below.
	General Wainwright failed to defend Subic and Fort Wendt and collaborated with the Japanese to cause the surrender of soldiers not under his command.
	After the war, Wayne White was promoted to four-star general and awarded the Medal of Honor.
	General Sharp's officers were furious when they learned of his treason.
	General Chinoweth wrote that Sharp did not have the physical or mental agility to adapt to the situation, and it was pathetic to give him the responsibility of commanding combat operations.
	General Sharp was never prosecuted for treason and died soon after the war ended.
	That's pretty stunning stuff, in my opinion.
	That's pretty stunning stuff in my opinion.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Yeah, well, MacArthur got the nickname Dugout Doug because he was such a coward.
	Great book by William Bartash, B-A-R-T-S-C-H.
	He's a college professor at Texas A&M and a military historian.
	He wrote a book called December 8th, MacArthur's Pearl Harbor.
	He had 12 hours notice.
	Not only did he lose 90 aircraft at Clark Field, just lined up with full tanks and sitting there with no aircraft in the air at all, instead of having at least an air picket around the island to give him an early warning by radio.
	But instead, we had 70 B-17 bombers at that time.
	Half of them were at Clark Field and half of them were destroyed on the ground without firing a shot.
	And to make things even worse, if you want to continue a really good long war, you need to make sure both sides are pretty much evened up.
	So what did FDR do?
	He didn't want the people of the United States to have to feel in fear, so he didn't black out the East Coast cities, and he allowed the German submarines to do what was called Torpedo Alley from December 7th when they declared war on Germany until July of 1942.
	The German U-boats sank over 400 merchant marines, most of them tankers, and they were so easy to shoot that they didn't even waste torpedoes on them.
	They just surfaced and used their four-inch guns and would sink a half dozen ships at a time.
	We killed 5,000 Carl.
	experienced merchant Marines before we actually even got in the fight.
	Thank you FDR because he intentionally wanted to destroy American assets prior to the war
	just to make the war longer and wait till we get what happened in northern France.
	You'll absolutely be shocked.
	Carl.
	So we have FDR and taking a look and considering with integrity of an American president, all
	you need to do is put that on for size and view his actions there.
	So in the Philippines, no investigation, huh?
	Well, I guess they couldn't even have an investigation because it's just too big of a lie to wrap your head around.
	And Joe gave an excellent summary.
	And, you know, it's just obvious points that this was a setup.
	This was a stand down.
	This was a false flag event where the actual perpetrators were within our own government who wanted to orchestrate a war.
	And from which all of our family families have have sacrificed and have been damaged for that.
	Joe, did you want to add further?
	We also had Halsey and McCain who were Navy admirals that were guilty of high treason.
	And there were three oil refineries, major oil refineries, that were in the Far East, in Indonesia and Singapore.
	Two of them owned by BP, one of them by Wow.
	shell and they were ordered to not be destroyed by the British and the Dutch when they exited those
	oil refineries and they were never bombed over the entire course of the war and they supplied
	the Japanese with all the oil that they needed to conduct the war all the way through the end.
	And wait till we get to Iwo Jima and Chitsujima.
	Wow, very disturbing stuff. Particularly since I was commissioned in the Marine Corps upon graduation
	from Princeton, received an infantry officer training at Quantico, then trained as an
	artillery officer at US Army.
	Army Artillery and Missile School in Lawton, Oklahoma.
	My first duty assignment was 1st Battalion, 12th Marine, 3rd Marine Division, base camped in Okinawa, performing training ops in Japan, Korea, Formosa.
	I visited Subic Bay numerous times.
	This was all fairly stunning stuff to learn.
	Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.

	Here's Beverly commenting on Need to Know for November 3rd.
	If you want to unite the races, try taking away their guns.
	Black people are not going to readily give up their guns any more than whites are.
	I don't care if most blacks vote Democrat.
	They're not about to hand over the handguns they need for protection, especially in high-crime neighborhoods.
	Blacks in rural areas, just like their white brethren, have always had rifles and handguns.
	The nearest police station It's probably miles away.
	By the time the cops would arrive, it would be too late to stop any criminal behavior.
	Black people, even those who promote the false narrative otherwise, know the black criminal is more of a threat to them than the cops.
	If gun confiscation ever becomes reality, the black market in weapons will be a booming business, with a beeline of upstanding black citizens buying guns to protect themselves, along with the black and white criminals who already make up the underground weapons market customer base.
	Moreover, this is from my blog, several very astute comments here.
	Mike Palachuk, my former series editor at Moonrock Books, who suggested the title Nobody Died at Sandy Hook, for example, on our first book, has a new book that I feature in there.
	This isn't a reply to Mike Palahniuk's work here, though his quote from William Shiver's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, A History of Nazi Germany, is puzzling.
	The cynical disregard for truth that propagandist Shire projects onto Hitler and Goebbels is his own practice anyway.
	This is more of a response to Jim's Bitchute broadcasts, which are dealing with self-defense issues.
	Headline!
	Guilty verdicts reached in Aubrey case after crucial evidence is withheld from the jury.
	This is appalling.
	I think it's imprudent to suggest that the Georgia men were classic hillbillies and thus somehow their self-defense was racist or less authentic than that of Rittenhouse.
	Rittenhouse may be a fine young man, but those men had the same grounds for self-defense as Kyle did.
	The would-be robber ran at the rifle and grabbed the barrel of the gun.
	It doesn't matter if you're impressed with a white man's social situation or not.
	It's a clear case of justified self-defense.
	How I scoff at the howls of jogging while black.
	Arbery was a criminal already known to local businesses and cops as
	the jogger because he would do running stretches outside a store and then go inside,
	grab stuff, and run away.
	Arbery did the same stretches and pretend jogging in neighborhoods with new construction,
	just like the one in which they convicted men owning property.
	They were on watch for criminals sneaking from the neighborhood's half-built houses.
	There had been a rash of thefts in the neighborhood.
	Many homeowners installed security cameras.
	No less than five times, Arbery had been captured on camera inside one house being
	built just two days down from the convicted father and son.
	Twelve nights before the shooting, he'd been inside the same house when he was spotted and sprinted off.
	Armed neighbors, including the father and son, gathered and called the cops.
	The cops claim search for Arbery and finding nothing.
	Thank the neighbors for helping with security.
	On the day of the shooting, Arbery was again inside the unfinished house when he was spotted and ran out past the father who was working in his yard.
	He called his son, got in the truck, and followed the Arbery.
	Jared Taylor has written an article that recounts the events leading up to the shooting in detail.
	Taylor writes, One of the first prosecutors on the case, George Barnhill, wrote a report well worth reading in full that the defense surprisingly never referred to, which has been all but forgotten.
	It concludes that the three men were trying to make a legal citizen's arrest, were legally harmed, and had probable cause to believe Arbery had committed a burglary.
	Mr. Barnhill wrote, quote, given the fact Arbery initiated the fight at the point Arbery grabbed the shotgun under Georgia law, McMichael was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself.
	His conclusion, quote, we do not seek grounds for an arrest of any of the three parties.
	He probably thought it was unnecessary to add the obvious, that if the men had wanted to kill Arbery rather than stop and talk to a man they thought might be armed, they could have done so as they drove close to him, or that people who are about to commit a murder do not call 911.
	Or make a video that they immediately turn over to the police.
	Mr. Barnhill based his report not just on interviews, but also on the Bryan video, which was not made public until later.
	This is stunning stuff.
	Meanwhile, there's an attempt to turn a George Floyd into a saint and even portray him as Jesus Christ.
	This is bizarre in the extreme.
	Meanwhile, remember, 1% control the world, 4% are their pappas, 90% are asleep, 5% know and try to wake the 90%.
	The 1% use the 4% to prevent the 5% from waking up the 90%.
	And this coming weekend, on December the 11th and the 12th, I will present the Volkswagen Conspiracy Conference 2021.
	Conspiracies are as American as apple pie in my first scholarly article about conspiracy research, Thinking About Conspiracy Theories, 9-11 and JFK.
	I explained how the principles of scientific reasoning can be applied to conspiracy theories and illustrated with regard to the current issue of the New York Times that stories on every page dealt with conspiracies.
	Once authentic evidence has been separated from fabricated These cases tend to fall in familiar patterns and become amenable to resolution.
	View the show next weekend, 9 a.m.
	to 9 p.m.
	Central Time, on Mixed in Stream.
	Mixed in Stream.
	I have 20 to 24 presentations for you.
	You're going to like it.
	Meanwhile, final thoughts.
	Joe, yours.
	Yes, over the weekend we lost somebody that was claimed to be a war hero, Bob Dole.
	And before you start worshiping this guy, I think you need to do a little bit of research on the Bayh-Dole Act from 1980, where he allowed bureaucrats to take royalties from taxpayer funded patents to supposedly
	stimulate the economy.
	Absolutely outrageous. And then last year on the December 7th, we did lose a real genuine hero
	and that was Chuck Yeager. And just to give you a little bit of idea, the Wright brothers
	did the first powered flight on December 17th, 1903.
	They went probably about 30 miles per hour.
	On October 14, 1947, Chuck Yeager was the first man to break the world sounds barrier in an X-1 rocket-powered plane.
	And in 1953, and he went 662 miles per hour, in 1953 he went with an improved X-1A rocket plane and was able to go 1,650 miles per hour.
	So that less than 50 years after the Wright brothers did the first powered flight, Americans were more than tripling the sound barrier.
	Incredible amount of technology and wonderful men and Praise Chuck Yeager, but, you know, have a guarded praise for Mr. Dole.
	Yeah, I never was enthusiastic about Bob Dole.
	Carl, your final thoughts?
	Yeah, Dole was probably on the dole just as much as all the other political leaders there.
	So Beverly's letter is absolutely right, is that the Americans would come together if we had something inspirational to come together with, breakthroughs in technology, as Joe says, or just the opportunity of solving problems, being inspired by that, rather than just virtue signal and micro create and separate to create more problems.
	So the American people really have no choice but just to go ahead and press on with this war on my front of the war.
	On Friday, I had an interesting meeting with the assistant superintendent of my school district, the teachers union president and the director of health, whereby with two months, actually 15 months, they've avoided pointed questions about the law because they can't answer them.
	But I had a zoom conference and the assistant superintendent admitted she does not know how district policy can violate superior federal law that makes all of the experimental products optional.
	She said she didn't know.
	She didn't know.
	So I gave her a week until this Friday, and I said, all right, here's your next question coming.
	If you can't explain it, what are you going to do if I start standing under federal law protection that these are experimental products?
	What will you do then?
	So I'm kind of having this virtual play out of civic, civil disobedience.
	So I'm very interested to see how that will play out.
	Let me just say that on my birthday, it's a real honor to do these shows with Joe Olson from Houston and Carl Herman from San Ramon, California.
	They both exemplify stellar citizens, soldiers who are making a major effort to get the truth out.
	Joe suggested we do A good chunk of the show today about World War II.
	I learned aspects about both the war in Europe, particularly in Italy in relation to Mussolini, and more despicably in the South Pacific and in the Philippines where I myself had been stationed Then I really preferred to know, but I'm all for the truth.
	I'm 100% truth guy.
	I want the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth.
	Carl Herman is carrying the banner in California against his school district to force him to confront the fact that they have been acting in violation of federal law.
	This may have consequences far beyond the norm.
	I applaud Carl as I do Joe for carrying these efforts forward.
	And I want to thank you all for being supportive and watching Need to Know.
	We're doing our best to bring you the truth about the crucial issues, where this latest news about the Aubrey trial, by the way, came as news to me, a perfect illustration of where We may, with the acquisition of new evidence and alternative hypotheses, have to reject conclusions we previously accepted, accept conclusions we previously rejected, and leave others in suspense.
	This has transformed my understanding of what happened during that fateful trial in Georgia.
	Thank you for joining us.
	Spend as much time as you can with your friends and your loved ones because we do not know how much time we have left.
