	This is Jim Fetzer, Madison, Wisconsin.
	Delighted to be joined today by Joe Olson in Houston and Holly Seliger in an undisclosed location in the Far East.
	We begin With Russian launching a new stage of operation in Ukraine.
	Day 55.
	Dozens of airstrikes in eastern Ukraine overnight on the 55th day.
	The Russian Defense Ministry said high-precision air-based missiles struck 13 Ukrainian positions.
	Other airstrikes, 60 military assets of Ukraine.
	Including two warehouses contain warheads of Tashka-U tactical missiles in the Lugansk and Kharkiv regions.
	Russian air defense system, moreover, shot down a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter for a total of 1,260 military targets hit by rockets and artillery overnight.
	No doubt about it, Russia has upped the ante.
	A foreign minister, Lavrov, confirmed the new stage of military operations.
	This could be a very important moment.
	President Zelensky, meanwhile, said Russian troops had begun the battle for the Donbass region, which is populated With ethnic Russians, stressing Ukraine, of course, it will continue resistance.
	And of course, it's because since 2014, Ukraine has been bombarding the Donbass region and killing thousands of ethnic Russians.
	That was among the most important reasons for Putin intervening.
	Kiev's presidential chief of staff described the Russian attacks as a second phase of the war.
	Complete control of Donbass would allow Moscow to create southern access to the Crimean Peninsula.
	Monday, five powerful Russian missiles struck the western Ukrainian city of Lviv.
	While focusing on its ground defense, even Donbass, Russia's military launched long-distance strikes at targets elsewhere, including Kiev.
	As part of the new operation, Russian forces broke into the city of Kremena in the Lugansk area.
	The governor of the region said four had died while attempting to flee the city.
	The Russian army has already entered there with a huge amount of military hardware, it is reported.
	At least eight people have been killed.
	Ukrainian media also reported explosions along the front line in the Donetsk area.
	A blast was also heard in Kharkiv in the northeast, Mykolaiv in the south, and Zaporozhye in the southeast.
	Western countries in Ukraine accused Putin of unprovoked aggression.
	French President Macron said he stalled his dialogue with Putin after mass killings were discovered in Ukraine.
	But we know that was all staged, as we've reported in detail.
	It's hard to believe President Macron does not know better.
	The U.S.
	military expects to start training Ukrainians and howitzers in the coming days.
	Very bad.
	This includes 155 military howitzers.
	Four flights of weapons have been sent by the U.S.
	as part of a new package.
	The howitzer training allegedly would take place outside of Ukraine.
	The U.S.
	is planning to teach Ukrainians how to use the howitzers, radars, and then with the trainers.
	Russian Minister Defense Minister Shogun said the U.S.
	and others are doing everything to drag out Russia's military operation.
	The increasing volume of foreign arms supplies clearly demonstrate their intention to provoke the Kiev regime to fight to the last Ukrainian standing.
	The White House announced Biden not planning to visit Kiev, which would be an idiotic thing to do, but there's no question he's doing lots of idiotic things.
	Zelensky claimed he thinks Biden will visit, adding it's about the safety situation.
	The Biden admin has said it wants to send a high-ranking official to the crisis-stricken country.
	Clearing the last piece from Mariupol, Russian forces have issued a new ultimatum to Ukrainian forces to leave the city.
	Russian Defense Ministry called on Kiev to show reason and give the corresponding order of fighters to cease their senseless resistance and lay down their arms.
	Joe, your assessment of what's going on and how it's progressing?
	Joe Biden: Well, things have updated since then.
	If you go to Veterans Today, they've got Russian Special Operations in Ukraine online streaming day 56.
	You just did the update from day 55.
	This starts at 1 o'clock in the morning, and it's like one or two sentences every five or ten minutes on what's actually going on at a bunch of different fronts in the Ukraine.
	Really interesting so that you can get an idea what the overall picture is.
	But here's some news that came out that's really disturbing.
	They have announced that there was a U.S. Poseidon Boeing P-8 radio monitoring plane.
	And I don't know if it's the tail number or if it's just a serial number, but it's AE-681B was following the Russian cruiser Moskov from 70 kilometers away in communications with the missile that hit the boat.
	So...
	We have direct U.S.
	Navy involvement in taking out this particular vessel, and that's a pretty disturbing escalation in and of itself.
	And today, you have Russia fired their first test of the SS-18, which NATO calls the Satan, Russians call it the Cermak, which is capable of having up to 15 hypersonic warheads.
	And these are virtually unstoppable Mach 10 weapons that can knock out virtually most targets with just the kinetic energy of the thing hitting them.
	So, I didn't do a deep dive on what current status is, but when I pulled up number of U.S.
	aircraft carriers, there was a Wall Street Journal article on March 15, 2019, that said the U.S.
	had 11 aircraft carriers.
	So, bottom line is, All Russia has to do is launch one ICBM and our aircraft carriers are absolutely going to be first strike targets.
	So if we want to keep rattling this saber and keep escalating this war and we want to start doing nuclear weapons, which I'm afraid that there might be a nuclear weapon underneath the Maripol Steel plant and they're just waiting for the Russians to go in and then they're going to detonate it and vaporize the guys that are down there and say, see Russia's using nuclear weapons because they couldn't win any other way.
	Now we've got to use nuclear weapons.
	We are run by genocidal man and I'm sorry if we don't wrestle control of reality away from these SOBs and they belong in jail.
	And one of the interesting things in one of the other comments was that The Russian Federation might send the mercenaries that they capture in this little exercise to Siberia and let them shovel snow.
	I can't think of a better ending for the rest of their lives than to be sitting there shoveling snow in Siberia.
	I cannot imagine a more profound act of idiocy than to use a U.S.
	plane to guide the missile into the Russian flagship.
	That was moronic in the extreme.
	Holly, your thoughts?
	Well, there have been rumors that there are U.S.
	military and others that have been captured by the Russians over there.
	So there appears to be at least some factions of U.S.
	soldiers or military or mercenaries over there meddling.
	Certainly a lot of U.S.
	funding that's going over there openly by administration, sending drones, sending weapons, sending funding into the United States.
	Sorry.
	And it's just, it's really upsetting to see that we're not privy to any of this.
	There's no congressional oversight.
	This is a declaration of war.
	This is World War III that's being launched by our government right now.
	And nothing is being done to stop this within the US.
	We're basically just allowing this funding to go forward and allowing our own government or factions of it, you know, rogue factions of it trying to start up World War III.
	I think a lot of this has to do with the Biden administration, the criminal Biden family trying to cover their own tracks about what they've been doing in Ukraine, at least since the 2014 color revolution.
	So I think that there's definitely opportunities for the United States to also launch another false flag, like Joe said, something like another Gulf of Tonkin or something like that to get us into creating this quagmire in Ukraine.
	Well, the United States has struck the first blow by participating in taking out the Russian warship.
	That is inexcusable.
	Putin will not let that go.
	Meanwhile, Elon Musk says the Twitter board will be paid nothing if he takes over.
	Billionaire tech mogul said if his Twitter attempt is successful, the company's board will go from being paid millions per year to zero.
	Board salary will be $0 if my bid succeeds.
	That's 3 million years saved right there.
	He said in a tweet that was part of a threat.
	He claimed the interests of Twitter's board members are not in line with those of the company's shareholders.
	The board members currently receive around $2.9 million in cash and stock awards.
	Musk was responding to a threat by investment advisor and future fund managing partner Gary Black, who argued that Twitter board members' interests aren't allowed with the shareholders, and that it's obvious if Musk does manage to take Twitter private, the company's board members don't have jobs anymore.
	That could explain a lot, referring to the effort of the board to block Musk's hostile takeover.
	They're going to lose big bucks.
	After Musk snapped up nearly 10% of Twitter, he offered to buy the remainder for $43 billion.
	Twitter's board responded by carefully reviewing the proposal but then adopting a poison pill, making it financially more painful for the potential acquisition.
	Twitter provided more details about the arrangement in an 8K filing with the FEC, which said the move would impose a significant penalty on anyone buying 15% or more of Twitter common stock without the board's approval, taken to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics.
	But his offer to buy outstanding Twitter shares at a premium about 40% above marketplace is not an unfair takeover tactics.
	It's not coercive.
	It's a bona fide business offer.
	Some analysts arguing a rejection of the bid by Twitter's board would amount to an action that runs contrary to the shareholders' interest.
	In other words, That the board would be acting in dereliction of its duty, breaching their fiduciary obligation, and would assume legal liability that would be titanic in scale.
	Believe me, Musk knows what he's doing.
	He said earlier his buyout was to transform Twitter into a bastion of free speech.
	That Twitter has become a de facto town square, and conversation ought to be able to take place with as few constraints as possible.
	I agree with him.
	This would be a great thing for America.
	In my view, Twitter should match the laws of the country, acknowledging reasonable legal caps on free speech like direct incitement is violent, but going beyond that and having it be unclear who's making what changes to where, having tweets mysteriously promoted and demoted with no insight of what's going on, having a black box algorithm promote some things and not others, I think this can be quite dangerous.
	My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization.
	I agree with him 100%.
	Musk has questioned Twitter's commitment to free speech after repeated accusations the platform suppressed minority and politically conservative viewpoints, which is obviously the fact, even though Twitter denies.
	The Tesla takeover bid has been hailed by many free speech advocates, but opposed by those who fear fewer constraints on Twitter will make it too easy to abuse a platform's reach and power by, for example, spreading disinformation.
	But who's to determine what is disinformation?
	Who's to dictate the true and the false?
	God knows, not a Twitter board.
	So I'm 100% with Musk on this.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Yeah, well, before you, uh, you know, become a real, uh, Musk disciple, you really need to see a video by Greg Reese on, uh, the true Elon Musk goes through his family history and then, uh, some of his, uh, you know, quote accomplishments.
	He's supposedly putting Tesla up for sale, uh, because maybe he's having a little bit of a cash crunch, but the Tesla Only generated a profit like two quarters out of the last, what, 20 quarters that it's been in business?
	So it's never been an actual viable business and, you know, there's a lot of issues with their cars and we, you and I, have discussed some of the issues with EVs in general.
	So that's item number one.
	Item number two, the second largest holders of stock at Twitter are Vanguard and BlackRock.
	And those people have already said they're going to do everything they can to block Musk from being able to take over Twitter.
	And, you know, because he's also been involved with using his Starlink satellite system, and he bragged about it being what they use to guide the missiles into the vessel, that that's going to be a little bit of an issue for him.
	So bottom line is, and then there's an interesting thing.
	Anybody that's been online for any length of time, like in my case, I've been doing online research extensively for probably 25 years.
	You've noticed that the internet just keeps getting more and more filtered.
	And there's a great group, Aaron and Melissa Dykes, Truthstream Media.
	And they did about a 20 minute long video.
	Where did the internet go?
	And she's saying that, you know, if you go to particularly Google...
	Do a Google search for something.
	It'll say 42,000 different lists on this particular subject.
	But then when you actually click on it, you get to like number 400 and there's no additional information there.
	And three quarters of what's on there on the 400 are garbage.
	So you might get 100 sites that are peripherally mentioning the subject that you were actually looking for on Google, but the rest of it is all garbage.
	What they've done is they've neutered the internet to the point where you can no longer do effective online research, and Wikipedia is owned by the same Google alphabet monsters, and it's absolutely gone completely absurd.
	I mean, you don't use it for anything other than just get a general idea and maybe some reference points so you can go look something else up on your own.
	But they've systematically made information gathering and distribution as difficult as possible.
	And I don't see that Twitter's going to be a major thing on that.
	And one additional comment is that the conservative Treehouse did a good analysis of the cash flow and business plan for Twitter.
	And every time they add new users, they increase their costs and they don't have any way of generating income.
	What the guy at Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse says is this has got to be 100% government-funded CIA operation.
	So you would kind of expect that from somebody that's probably a CI front in the way of Musk and certainly with Bezos and probably with Zuckerberg.
	Well, I agree with Zuckerberg and Bezos.
	I'm not convinced about Musk, but we shall see.
	Holly, your opinion?
	Yeah, I've kind of, I've heard people compare Musk to like a Howard Hughes or something where he's like a larger than life individual you know the, there's obviously a lot of organizations and groups and funding a lot behind.
	Neuralink and Tesla and that sort of stuff.
	But I definitely agree with him about free speech, like his libertarian views on what he says about Twitter.
	There are people who are saying that that platform could possibly be opened up for free speech as more information starts to come out.
	You know, whether or not you're talking about the Durham Report or something.
	These are people who are, you know, hopeful that this is going to be used as a tool for good.
	Definitely agree with with Joe about Twitter.
	It's not about the money, you know, same with Facebook.
	All these alphabet organizations has never been about the money for them.
	It's only about control and manipulating people against their own better judgment as far as free speech and the First Amendment goes.
	So I consider myself basically an expert on on search terms.
	So, you know, trying to use the Internet since I was a child using search terms and use and seen growing up, you know, as a consolidation of the Internet has occurred.
	As far as using search terms and being able to find information online and the consolidation of that as as Joe has perfectly explained as well and then seeing also NPR and like other mainstream media today talking about how Musk desiring And talking about having an actual platform that supports free speech is dangerous for women and minorities.
	There was a woman on NPR today talking about how The First Amendment and free speech is dangerous for for women because it's going to support trolls and support online harassment, make things dangerous for women, the more free speech is online.
	And I'm just saying personally, I've predominantly been harassed by other women.
	So I don't really think that that argument makes much sense online.
	I mean, the fact that they're talking about We need free speech for censorship because free speech is bad for minorities is some sort of a bizarre argument, but that's the point that they're at right now.
	Yeah, that's ludicrous.
	My experience with Twitter is sufficient to say Twitter can make a difference if it's allowed to be a free speech communication channel.
	I think that would be tremendously important.
	And even if Musk is a flawed soul, everyone else on the political scene is as well.
	Ron Johnson, meanwhile, is pursuing a scorcher path to re-election, we're told.
	He's actually an outstanding senator.
	He's my senator right here in Wisconsin.
	I have no doubt he's going to be re-elected in a substantial margin.
	Biden's approval ratings are underwater, they're claiming, but I don't believe that for a second.
	Instead of moving to the Senate, he races as he faces re-election.
	He's become the face of conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the 2020 election in the Senate.
	But he's exactly right!
	He said that gargling mouthwash can kill a coronavirus, that January 6th was mostly a lethal process, and unvaccinated people are being basically sent into internment camp.
	I think he's right.
	There may be a tad of hyperbole, but he's certainly right-headed compared to every other politician in Washington, D.C.
	It turns out his shoot-from-the-lip style is a feature, not a bug, of his campaign for a third term.
	I wouldn't describe it that way.
	His commercials are extremely thoughtful and very well designed.
	GOP strategists and officials say his unfiltered remarks are generating enthusiasm among a party conditioned by Donald Trump and appealing to independents who loathe Washington, reasons why he's going to win re-election.
	He's still perceived as an outsider.
	He's not part of the GOP establishment, never has been, and Wisconsinites like that, as do I, said Bill McCaushan, a Wisconsin-based Republican strategist.
	They may not agree with everything he says, but they like that he's willing to speak his mind, and he's not politically correct.
	Even Democrats aren't campaigning this year against the controversial comments he's made, instead focusing on alleged self-dealing in Washington to try to strip him of the non-political veneer that has helped him win past elections.
	They won't be successful.
	Kellyanne Conway was right when she said voters vote on what affects them, not what offends them, said Ben Winkler, chair of the Wisconsin Democrat Party.
	But nobody likes being ripped off by somebody who's out to serve themselves.
	That's the core of our message.
	This is a Democratic Party.
	Ron Johnson is precisely the opposite.
	He's the antithesis.
	He's very altruistic.
	He cares about Wisconsin.
	He cares about America.
	These Democrats have nothing to shovel but shit.
	Despite Johnson's turn to the right, the closely watched contest could determine party control of the Senate, according to both Democrat and GOP consultants.
	At the same time he's served up red meat for the base, he's also hedged his bet by presenting a softer side in TV ads.
	He's replicating the playbook of this year's midterm election.
	He's run in this campaign highlighting the Joseph Project, which he co-founded with the late African-American pastor Jerome Smith Sr.
	to help those in Milwaukee find jobs.
	One feature is Smith's widow saying, I would never have thought Ron Johnson would ever have been somebody whom I can say is family.
	I remember thinking, wow, he actually came here.
	In his bid in 2016, he aired similar commercials.
	His other positive thoughts are emotional about people who said his right-to-try legislation, allowing those with life-threatening diseases or conditioned to use experimental drugs, save their or their loved one's lives.
	It shows a more sensitive side To someone who's been working out in Washington for the last 12 years, said Brandon Schultz, a former executive director of the Wisconsin Republican Party.
	Instead, somebody on the local news talking about helping people in jobs, a place you wouldn't expect to see Ron Johnson, in Center City, Milwaukee.
	A Wisconsin-based Democrat strategist who worked on the 2000, where Johnson defeated former Democrat Senator Russ Feingold, whom I actually thought was unbeatable, said Johnson's won in the past because he excited the GOP diehards on the right while also appealing to white suburban women.
	Ron Johnson has been consistently underestimated as a candidate.
	He's figured out how to be different people to different audiences.
	In relation to comments about COVID, Johnson has said he did not mean that mouthwash should be an alternative to the vaccine, and his office pointed to an Australian quarantine site that asked about his internment camp remarks.
	Speaking about the Capitol riot, while he downplayed the events, he condemned the violence of the day.
	The case that Johnson can win re-election this year rests in part on a standout number.
	He outperformed Trump in 2016 by 74,000 votes, including in Milwaukee and Dane County, where Madison is located, as well as suburban Waukesha, Ozeki, and Washington, or Wow County's reliable GOP areas, where Trump experienced some slippage in 2020.
	Let me just say, when they were stealing the election in 2020, they were only going for the president.
	They were not affecting Ron Johnson.
	Republicans also counting on Johnson to benefit from voters turning against Democrats nationally.
	Yes, that's going to be a phenomenon from coast to coast.
	In Wisconsin, 52% disapprove of Biden's performance.
	Only 43% approve.
	GOP strategist said Johnson has shown ability to unify the mega base and more old-school Republicans in the suburbs while also picking up anti-establishment independence.
	He will do that again.
	In commercials and previous campaigns, he leaned into being the only manufacturer in a sea of lawyers.
	Ron Johnson is truly his own man.
	He could say anything tomorrow.
	You could call me and I'd say, I have no idea he was going to say that.
	That's full of risk and full of hand-wringing by the establishment Republicans, full of alarm ringing by the media.
	Also, however, full of authenticity for voters, including swing voters, and not just the base.
	I guarantee you, absent massive theft of the election, Ron Johnson is a shoo-in for reelection.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	I'll never underestimate the nefarious nature of our two-party, single-party, uniparty, rhino-dino-puppet-show government.
	But he's absolutely hated by the anti-Trumper division of the Republican Party.
	And he's also on the hit list for Maryland Gardner, the goofball.
	I can't use his real name because I can't stomach the guy who's head of the DOJ that's trying to weaponize absolutely everything.
	There's a Democratic move Uh, currently underway to make sure that Marjorie Taylor Greene cannot be on the ballot in 2022 in Georgia, even though she's very popular with her district and she's one of the more outspoken members of the House, because they say she was involved in an insurrection.
	So they're trumping up charges against her so that they can get her removed from the ballot and never doubt the Republican Party of Georgia will roll over and say, yeah, you're right.
	She was a naughty little girl that day.
	She waved American flag or something.
	And then this just came in at the conservative treehouse.
	Club rules highlighted again.
	Tennessee Republican Party blocks Morgan Ortega, Baxter Lee and Robbie Starbuck from the ballot.
	Three candidates that were hopefuls running in the House races in Tennessee have been blocked by the private parties because that's what they are.
	They're private parties.
	They pick their own candidates.
	You're not allowed to have anything to say between Puppet 1 and Puppet 2 of either one of the parties, Puppet Number 1 and Puppet Number 2.
	It's an entire rigged Puppet show, wall-to-wall, and until we get rid of the RNC and the DNC, we'll never have a democracy in this country.
	I just observed that the Republicans—the Democrats—staged January 6th so they could make just this kind of argument.
	They labeled it Donald Trump as an insurrectionist, Marjorie Taylor Greene, they're going after others.
	In my opinion, it's not going to fly.
	You'd have to be a complete idiot to fall for it.
	There was no incitement, there was no insurrection, and therefore they cannot be guilty of inciting an insurrection.
	It's absurd.
	Not that they aren't going to play at Broadsworth, but I'm convinced it will fall flat.
	Holly, your thoughts?
	Yeah, that it makes perfect sense.
	I was wondering why they were using that term, uh, insurrection.
	They, I mean, if you listen to mainstream news, like for two months after that, and so it's like the word that they use constantly.
	And I knew there was something to that.
	And I, I had no idea that there was a, basically a clause that says that If you've been found guilty of causing an insurrection or being involved with an insurrection, you can't run for office.
	So I think you're absolutely right.
	I think that that is the argument that they were trying to make and they are making.
	They're actually going so far as to do that, trying to at least see if they can get it stuck in court or just make it hard for people to actually run for office.
	And then that way they can rig the election.
	Very.
	I'm pretty much convinced they're going to try to do that again by hook or by crook.
	We're seeing that in France right now too.
	Macron versus Le Pen again, which I think Le Pen was the popular candidate who won and they rigged it for Macron.
	And it looks like they're going to try to do that again.
	So very similar to what we're seeing here in the United States.
	And then also just reminds me of what we saw with Bernie Sanders and the Democratic Party saying they rigged him out of the election so that they were a private corporation.
	The Democratic Party, the DCCC, argued in court they were a private corporation that can decide what they want to do and decide who their candidate is going to be in a, quote, smoke-filled back room, was what their lawyers said.
	They said that there was no sort of oversight needed as a private corporation.
	Republicans could do the same thing they did in the past with Ron Paul several years ago.
	So unlike the Tea Party movement that they controlled.
	So we do need to get rid of the concept of political parties.
	There's nothing in the Constitution that says that we need them.
	If anything, they just try to destroy legitimate candidates and people like you said, like your representative, who actually speaks off the cuff, They don't know how to control someone like that.
	Someone who's a truth teller.
	Someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene who has enemies on both sides of the aisle.
	We need to get rid of these aisles and just go for an individual now because these lines of demarcation between left and right and red and blue don't mean anything to people anymore.
	Yeah, excellent comments.
	I'm a huge fan of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	Meanwhile, a survey majority of U.S.
	voters don't believe gun control works.
	On Thursday, Rasmussen released a survey showing more than 50% of likely U.S.
	voters don't believe gun control would prevent mass shootings.
	The findings have deviated very little from a similar study in March of 2021.
	Only 60% think it's not possible to completely prevent mass shootings altogether.
	Two recent have occurred in two of the top three states, rated for gun law strength.
	In other words, the gun laws aren't working.
	On April 12th, for example, shots began to ring out inside a Manhattan-bound subway train.
	When the smoke cleared, no one was dead, but 10 were injured, with gunshot wounds mainly to the leg and hands, and 19 others were injured in the ensuing chaos.
	I've done a very thorough report on this and it was completely staged.
	It was completely fake.
	The blood was fake.
	They had a camera on a tripod to record it.
	They had a director going back and forth organizing what happened.
	They had a woman who was not injured who had to roll downstairs and went upstairs and was put on a stretcher.
	The alleged shooter from Philadelphia brought weapons in a passenger van after shooting.
	Actually, it was a moving van.
	The suspected shooter was seen casually walking around Manhattan's East Village neighborhood, where he was eventually arrested.
	Despite this recent attack completely staged, a majority don't believe stricter gun control would stop.
	Rasmussen reports show 51% likely voters believe that.
	59% don't even think it's possible to completely prevent mass shootings.
	And in fact, that's an intelligent observation.
	Ancillors largely fell on party lines.
	64% of Democrats saying we need stricter gun control.
	Only 23% of Republicans agreed.
	61% of Democrats think gun control would have prevented an attack like that, but frankly they're weak-minded when it comes to gun control.
	They haven't done any research.
	They have no idea what they're talking about.
	The new report comes as Biden is making rule changes to restrict gun rights even further.
	Notable quote.
	51% likely voters don't think stricter gun controls would help prevent shootings like the one Tuesday that left 29 people injured in Brooklyn.
	38% think stricter gun control would help prevent.
	Another 11% are not sure.
	Meanwhile, Biden tells Obama he'll seek another term.
	How awful is that for the Democrat Party?
	Biden has informed former President Obama he intends to seek re-election in 2024 if he's even still up on two feet and not institutionalized or in a coma.
	The news outlet attributed the information to unnamed sources.
	Biden wants to run is clearly letting everyone know.
	Who gives a damn?
	The sources maintain Biden is convinced he's the most likely candidate who could defeat a direct challenge by Trump.
	I do believe he thinks he's the only one who can beat Trump.
	Well, he didn't beat Trump the first time.
	Why would he think he could beat him this time?
	I don't think he thinks there's anyone who can beat Trump.
	That's the biggest factor.
	It's uncertain when Biden and Obama talked about the race, but they did have lunch together earlier in April.
	The fact that Biden has spoken publicly about the 2024 election during a press conference in Brussels, he said he'd be very fortunate to run again against Trump, which is ridiculous.
	His comments to Obama came despite plunging approval ratings in the polls.
	Evidently, the Democrats don't think polls matter.
	The President's approval stood at just 38%, 53% disapproving.
	The net minus 15% rating is substantially worse than his minus 9% in the same poll conducted in December.
	His approval on the economy was 35%.
	60% disapproval for a net minus 25.
	That's a fourth straight CNBC poll to record a drop in his approval on the economy.
	A new poll released by the Jewish Electoral Institute, by the way, showed Biden's approval among Jewish voters dropped to 63% from 80% of last year.
	Ron Camblius of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that while a majority of Jews still approve of the job he's doing, his disapproval rate is at 37%, up 17 points from last year at 20%.
	up 17 points from last year at 20%.
	Joe, your thoughts. - Yeah, well, FJB was at the White House Easter egg roll on Monday and they had to have Jill and the Easter Bunny jump in between him and the little kids because once he finished his little 30 second speech, he couldn't wait to go over and start sniffing them.
	And it was, like, just such incredibly ugly, ugly optics that it's just unimaginable that this clown In his own delusional world thinks he has a chance to run it again.
	He's got a Hunter Biden problem that's fixing to jump up and snap him really big time.
	He will be so unsalvageable that we will have a sudden illness and a death in the White House and then we'll have him laying in state in the Capitol building and nobody will show up to pass by this clown.
	He's absolutely insufferable.
	But some terrible news that just came in.
	I was going to mention earlier today that they ruled against Assange and they're going to extradite him to the United States so he can spend 175 years in jail for telling the truth about U.S.
	war crimes.
	But I just got an email from a friend that said, breaking news, Scott Ritter has confirmed that Gonzalo Lira is dead.
	So that's I sent you the YouTube video on that and also forwarded to veterans today.
	But sad news for reporters.
	Well, it was clear he was speaking the truth about what's going on in Ukraine, that the Ukrainians hate the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian army.
	The Azov army, as I was suggesting, no doubt tortured him and brutally killed him.
	That will turn out to be the case.
	And Elinsky has killed every politician that even tried to negotiate food or water with the Russians when they occupied their areas for six weeks.
	And he's killed every opposition reporter and every opposition politician in this whole entire rotten little fascist country.
	And we're supposed to believe he's the reincarnation of George Washington.
	This whole thing is sick.
	That's the guy that Joe Biden refers to as our partner.
	Our partner.
	Zelensky in Ukraine.
	Insane.
	Holly, your thoughts?
	Well, I know the Daily Beast, which is probably an inappropriate name here, was trying to dox Gonzalo Lira and trying to flag him out to the Ukrainian government.
	And just the monsters over there.
	And, uh, I had heard that you had perhaps had to go into hiding.
	I mean, obviously he was sticking his neck out and, uh, informed millions of people as to what was actually going on over there, doing a tremendous job far better than anyone in our mainstream media could ever even dream of doing.
	And, uh, was really, I mean, he was boots on the ground from the very beginning explaining what was going on over there.
	And it's just.
	Absolutely insane about, you know, the fact that so many Ukrainians are basically cannon fodder to this demonic government at that point.
	And the United States, obviously, just so upsetting to hear that there are mercenaries and people over here that are trying to facilitate this and just murder as many people as possible.
	I mean, it's business as usual for these people.
	It's just absolutely sickening.
	I'm kind of beyond words right now.
	Ollie, you got it right.
	Meanwhile, Biden travel agency night plights dropping illegal immigrants all over the USA.
	Meanwhile, Union Pacific begins restricting fertilizer distribution.
	This is layers of odd.
	As many readers are aware, the price of fertilizer has skyrocketed.
	Supplies have been heavily impacted by increased energy costs and supply chain issues.
	Many wonder if a shortage may impact farm yields this year.
	Well, there's no doubt about it.
	CF Industries, one of the world's largest manufacturers of hydrogen and nitrogen fertilizer, warning its customers Union Pacific is now restricting the amount of container tonnage they will permit.
	A leading global manufacturer of hydrogen and nitrogen products, it informed customers it serves by Union Pacific rail lines, That railway-mandated shipping restriction would result in shipment delays during the spring application season.
	They ship to customers via Union Pacific from the Donaldsville complex in Louisiana and Portneil complex in Iowa to serve key agricultural areas such as Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and California.
	Products that are affected include nitrogen fertilizers, urea and urea ammonium nitrate, as well as diesel exhaust fluid, which is absolutely crucial for diesel trucks.
	The timing could not come at a worse time for farmers, said Tony Will, President and Chief Executive Officer of CF Industries.
	Not only will fertilizer be delayed, but additional fertilizer needed to complete swing application will be unable to reach farmers at all.
	By placing this arbitrary restriction on a handful of shippers, Union Pacific is jeopardizing farmers' harvests, increasing the cost of food for consumers.
	But it's all deliberate.
	This is all part of the Great Reset, which began with the mask mandates to kill us slowly, the vacs to kill us faster, and now mass starvation to polish us off.
	Because Union Pacific has told the company non-compliance will result in an embargo of facilities by the railroad, CF Industries may have no available shipping capacity to take new rail orders.
	Things get increasingly curious when you look at who owns majority stakes in CF Industries and who owns Union Pacific.
	The two top shareholders, Vanguard and BlackRock.
	Vanguard and BlackRock.
	Vanguard and BlackRock.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Yeah, if we had a legitimate Department of Justice, this is absolutely coalition for genocide and destruction of the food supply.
	And these people would have their assets taken and they would be in jail for the rest of their lives.
	But we don't have a legitimate government anywhere in this country.
	It's absolutely disgusting.
	And the other thing is that because of our gas shortage, oh, interesting fact, the million gallons, a million barrels per day of oil that's being shipped out of our strategic reserve, which only had 180 days supply anyway, which we would need if there was a worldwide emergency where you couldn't get tankers from overseas which we would need if there was a worldwide emergency where you couldn't get
	But we're shipping two big giant tanker loads to Europe, and apparently we're going to be doing it on a regular basis to make up for the Russian oil that they're going to cut off next Monday after they guarantee that they can steal the election in France away from Le Pen.
	So absolutely nasty wall to wall.
	But the other thing that Biden has proposed in order to, quote, reduce our gasoline costs is to use highly subsidized ethanol, which is made from corn, and go from E10, which is 10 percent ethanol, to E15, which is 15 percent ethanol, to E15, which is 15 percent ethanol, which will void about 90 percent of the car warranties in the United States if that's what they force into our gas pumps.
	and that's what they're trying to do.
	Absolutely insane The EPA is another criminal division of the federal government, and it needs to be busted.
	And I pray to God that the Mickey Mouse governor we've got here in the state of Texas and the Attorney General, both of them wall-to-wall rhinos, can do something effective to stop that, because this is absolutely insane.
	But look how brilliant it is if you want to destroy gasoline automobiles in America, then it's a perfect plan.
	And if you want to drive up food costs, because corn is the major feedstock for all of the protein in the livestock industry.
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	All the more reason, Joe.
	That's why they're adopting it.
	I know it.
	I know it.
	It's multi-vector destruction.
	Yes.
	Paulie, your thoughts?
	Right.
	So the Biden administration's turning more corn here in the United States.
	I mean, he's openly saying that we're going to be having a food crisis here and food shortages.
	And then he turns around, he sells strategic oil reserves and then is also turning a bunch of corn, expanding it into ethanol, which is, you know, obviously, as Joe and you have discussed, It's not good for vehicles.
	It really doesn't work well.
	Even quote unquote environmentalists don't like it.
	There's absolutely no reason.
	It's not going to lower gas prices for people.
	There's no reason to do it except to just make it harder for people to afford food here in the United States.
	So we're facing attacks from all sides here with the Biden administration and openly just saying, get ready for food shortages.
	There's nothing that he's going to do about it.
	There's never been a government of the United States that was overtly acting to destroy the United States, but that's what we have now with Biden and Harris.
	Experts say pilots could crash airlines because of COVID vaccine side effects from Edward Hendry, who was our guest earlier today on the event on Revolution Radio.
	COVID vaccine mandate for pilots violates federal law, puts passengers at risk, a citizens group warns.
	The FAA vaccine mandate violates federal regulations, places pilots and passengers at risk, according to a letter from the California-based Advocates for Citizens' Rights.
	The letter was hand-delivered in December 2021, To the then-director of the FAA, Department of Transportation, Department of Justice, and CEOs and legal counsel of major U.S.
	carriers, American, Alaska, Delta, Southwest, and United.
	It includes data showing pilots across the aviation industry, including commercial, military, and general aviation, face increased health risks from the vax due to the unique nature of their profession.
	The letter states a significant number of vaccine injuries and adverse effects have been recorded among pilots and in some cases have forced pilots to stop flying.
	They claim federal regulations that prohibit pilots who have received non-FDA approved medical products such as COVID vaccine from flying are being violated.
	VAX pilots potentially are flying with abnormal health conditions that may be exacerbated by flying at high altitudes, including heart damage and blood clotting, which could lead to strokes or cardiac arrest.
	Some have suffered death and serious injury following the VAX.
	The Fed is aware of the issues associated with a vaccine based on complaints filed with government agencies.
	The health risk of pilots from the vaccine may lead to a catastrophic event, such as a plane crash, with multiple fatalities and significant legal and monetary liability for the government, insurers, and airlines, co-signed by prominent figures including RFK Jr., Mary Holland, Reiner Fulmuch, and several other doctors, medical practitioners, and lawyers.
	In an interview, Advocate for Citizens' Rights Attorney Lee Taylor Dundas, lead signatory, said products authorized under emergency use authorization are not fully approved by the FDA and under F-E-U-A rules cannot be mandated.
	Our government has a long history, even with approvals and release of products, of getting it wrong.
	Witness thalidomide, DDT, all sorts of things like that.
	Roundup, I would add.
	As a former environmental attorney and staunch defender of basic human and civil rights, I contacted a fair number of concerned individuals from all walks of life.
	I've been aware of what I've been hearing at conference, that the inoculation was causing severe and sometimes fatal issues.
	Long and McCullough, who signed the letter, said the risk of post-vaccination myocarditis is non-trivial.
	The aviation population is comprised of individuals demographics that the CDC and FDA established was at greatest risk from developing post-vaccination induced myocarditis.
	Claudia Flint, also a signatory, described his experience.
	He's an agricultural pilot with 10,000 hours of flight time.
	He testified on the vaccine injuries and adverse effects he had sustained.
	I've been very healthy my whole life with no underlying condition.
	I received my first dose of Pfizer on February 1st of 2021.
	Within 30 minutes, I developed a severe stabbing headache, which later became a burning sensation at the back of my neck.
	Two days after the vax, I got in my airplane to do a job that would only take a few hours.
	Immediately after taking off, I knew something was not right.
	I was starting to develop tunnel vision.
	My headache was getting worse.
	Two hours into flying, I pulled my plane up to turn around and felt an extreme burst of pressure in my ear instantly.
	I was nearly blacked out, dizzy, disoriented, nauseous, and shaking uncontrollably.
	By the grace of God, I was able to land my plane without incident, though I do not remember doing this.
	I became aware of certain military personnel, said another source, ...who are high-ranking surgeons in the U.S.
	Armed Forces who were not just anecdotally aware of pilots having severe incidents of injury, but that statistically it was being borne out by the database.
	I was becoming aware of similar incidents in the civilian pilot population.
	The combination made me to pull a string and try to determine if not only was the Vax causing the Increase of disease and fatality, but perhaps due to the unique combination of pilots being at altitudes for long periods of time.
	It appeared from the anecdotal subjective data she was hearing and raw statistical data that these military doctors had access to, the pilots were uniquely likely to be suffering ill effects from the vax.
	The letter, along with accompanying documentation, referenced numerous instances of adverse relations by pilots and other health risks.
	The letter quotes flight surgeon and aerospace specialist Dr. Theresa Long and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, as we have noticed.
	My initial diagnosis of vertigo and severe panic attacks, though I never had a history of either, was replaced with left-right perilymphatic fatulus.
	Eustachian tube dysfunction created intracranial pressure due to brain swelling.
	My condition continued to climb.
	My doctors told me that only an adverse reaction to the vax or a major head trauma could have caused this much spontaneous damage.
	I've had six spinal taps over the last eight months to monitor my intracranial pressure and two surgeries eight weeks apart to repair the fistulas.
	I have missed nearly an entire year of my life and do not know if I'll ever be able to fly again.
	The FDA, CDC, and NIH refuse to acknowledge real lives are being absolutely destroyed by the vax.
	The letter also refers to American Airlines pilot Wilbur Wolfe, who suffered a major seizure following his vax.
	He died, though not while on duty.
	A Canadian flight in December of 2021 was forced to diverse back to the airport because a pilot had passed out after being recently vaxed.
	In other testimony, from November 2021 Senate proceedings, Long said the military was aware of the risks to its pilots, but chose to proceed with a VAX mandate per service members.
	Last May, I attended the Senior Preventive Leadership Program for the Army.
	I asked when we had the opportunity.
	We skipped two years of Phase II trials and three years of Phase III trials.
	We only lost 12 active-duty soldiers to COVID, yet we're going to risk the health of the entire fighting force on a VAX we had only two months of safety data for?
	The response was, you're damn right, Colonel, and we're going to get every soldier you can to take the VAX so I can get enough data parts to determine if the VAX is safe.
	Look at that answer!
	We're going to use the military as guinea pigs to determine if it's safe without knowing it is safe before giving it to the military.
	Numerous soldiers told her about threats and intimidation they forced to get the vax while still under EUA, and that the Army Health Command was not tracking, tracing, or monitoring adverse effects.
	Concerned military pilots he treated for VAX injuries.
	I saw five in clinic, two presented with chest pain days to weeks after VAX.
	Subsequently diagnosed with pericarditis.
	A third had been VAX.
	Felt like he was drunk.
	Chronically fatigued within 24 hours after the VAX.
	Stating he drank a lot of coffee to try and wake himself up and couldn't continue to fly until he realized the problem was not going to go away.
	The injuries and symptoms have included heart attacks, atrial fibrillation, pericarditis, brain swelling, elevated intracranial pressure, sub-adacronial hemorrhages, blindness.
	Statements from aviators include descriptions of various injuries reported by pilots.
	One stated, The physician determined I had an allergic reaction to the Pfizer vax that severely increased the pressure in my spinal cord and brainstem, causing my vision problems and ultimately ruptured my left inner ear, breaking off several crystals in the process.
	I cannot fly with this condition.
	Another.
	Symptoms began almost immediately post-vax.
	Constant dizziness, body aches, overall weakness.
	Two months later, I woke with chest pains and breathing difficulty.
	Diagnosed with inflammation of the heart cavity and pulmonary arteries.
	I was diagnosed with vasculitis, specifically erotitis.
	Letters from the Citizens' Rights Committee called for immediate action.
	Medically flagging all vaccinated pilots.
	Adaptation of a screening program requiring all vaccinated to undergo medical certification.
	Medically decertifying and grounding any pilot who fails one or more of the tests.
	Allowing commercial aircraft to be operated only by pilots who can show a clean medical exam a minimum of five days after each vaccine booster shot.
	Immediate investigation of all commercial air carriers and all insurance companies.
	creation by the FAA of a database to track pilot adverse effects in a manner similar to averse.
	Any in-house counsel, any CEO, any insurance number cruncher, any airline regulator who read this letter is going to be nothing if not clear about the fact that there is a problem brewing.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Yes, well, over the weekend, an American Airlines flight from Denver to Dallas landed, taxied up to the gate within minutes after parking.
	The pilot had a heart attack.
	Luckily, there was a nurse and an Army medical staff on board the plane.
	They managed to hit him three times with defibrillator, finally got a heart rhythm restored.
	He said, I want you to contact the U.S.
	Freedom Fighters immediately.
	So they contacted a guy named Joshua Yoder.
	I don't know if he's a pilot or not, but he was interviewed yesterday by Stu Webb.
	He said that they knew what was going to happen, that they intercepted the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
	They had an interdiction team, including Dr. Peter McCullough, and he ended up going to the Baylor White, whatever it is, medical facility.
	They wanted to put him on a ventilator.
	They had a power of attorney.
	There were multiple attorneys there, as well as multiple doctors that interceded on his behalf.
	He's released a videotape of him in a patient gown, lifting it up and showing you everything that they had in the way of monitors attached to his body.
	but he said his life is ruined.
	He's been a pilot for 30 years and he said he's doubtful that he'll ever be able to fly again.
	His daughter is in her late teens and she wanted to be a pilot and he was hoping to start teaching her how to be a pilot but now he says I can't even do that.
	He says my whole life has been ruined by this.
	The administrators of American Airlines, their home base is in Fort Worth, which is Tarrant County.
	This is accessory to murder, and your district attorney needs to start prosecuting these people because they did not do their due diligence when they forced people under threat of having their careers ended and their lives destroyed for all 20,000, whatever it is, number of employees in American Airlines.
	And that's all of the flight crews, the ticket agents, the maintenance repairmen.
	Everybody had to have this jab.
	Absolutely insane.
	And this just popped up at Gab.
	A woman said that her husband went to get donate blood and that the the Red Cross said that they can't use blood from Bax people.
	And the Red Cross replied on the official Red Cross Twitter account saying this is untrue.
	We're testing all blood products, and we're meeting the federal FDA requirements for using convalescent plasma, regardless of the vaccine status.
	So bottom line is, they're going to poison you with somebody else's blood if you don't want to get poisoned directly from the FDA.
	These people are criminally insane, and they need to be taken 100% out, and I don't know how we do it.
	You and I, every day, just go on and on about this stuff, and we've been doing it for a year now, and it's just, the system is so monolithic and so incestuously evil that it seems like we're making no progress at all.
	I just wish that more citizens would wake up and more protests would happen.
	The U.S.
	government is deliberately killing American citizens.
	There's no question about it.
	Holly, your thoughts?
	Well, unfortunately, I think in a lot of ways, this has been like a litmus test for, you know, who is going to be fine or think it's going to be fine to just accept whatever the government and the NGOs and CDC and NIH tell people what to do.
	And then other people who see That this isn't about someone's health.
	This is about control and making sure that they control people's lives and bodies and there is no autonomy or division between the individual in the state and the government.
	So in these private corporations, so.
	A lot of ways it's a people have accepted this new world order communism, if you will, or whatever you want to try to call it, where an individual has no control over their bodies.
	And it's not just about about a vaccine.
	It's also about the social credit system and making sure people are Are fine with every aspect of their lives being controlled by this super national New World Order agenda where everything from your your personal body to your decisions to your thoughts to that of your family and where you go and where you travel and where you live.
	So combination of lockdowns and everything like this, I think was just a task for them to see what percentage of the population would comply to something so horrendous and unfortunately, We got to witness that firsthand, how many people where, you know, if you threaten their job or their livelihood and, you know, even just the mere just threat of it was enough for for people to basically ruin their own lives and ruin their family's lives and and engage in something which was extremely dangerous. even just the mere just threat of it was enough
	And using the criminal mainstream media to facilitate that allowed a lot of people to just give up any sort of any sort of autonomy and any sort of common sense that anyone could have left at this point.
	And it's not going to end.
	They're just going to keep pushing it further and further.
	They'll come up with some other reason why people need to give up liberty for security.
	And we'll see people do this once again.
	Unfortunately, I don't think I still think a lot of people, unless if you're severely damaged like that, individual spoke about.
	People didn't even realize what they gave up, even though Even if they survived the jab, the fact that they complied is the most dangerous part because it's never going to end until we stop complying.
	And look how they're devastating key transportation mechanisms.
	They're taking out the pilots, takes planes out of the air, putting 15% ethanol into the gas, takes automobiles off the highway.
	This is all by design.
	They want plausible deniability.
	Meanwhile, liberal New York Times reporter frowns over the abrupt end of travel mask mandates.
	This is bizarre.
	Airlines drop mask rules after judge strikes down mandate.
	UC Berkeley Law Professor John Ewan and former U.S.
	Attorney Harry Lippman discussed the Florida judge ruling, striking down the mandate on Fox News at 9.
	A liberal New York Times reporter appeared distressed over rescinding of the federal mask mandate for public transit, complaining about it on Twitter.
	I can't stop thinking about people who may have chosen to book and board this flight based on a personal risk assessment that involved everyone being masked.
	Then, mid-flight, when it was physically impossible to leave, that element of the risk assessment was abandoned, said climate reporter Maggie Astor.
	Her tweet included the image of a tweet by Ben Dietrich, the press secretary to Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska, who wrote, the pilot on an Air Alaska flight he was traveling on made a wonderful announcement mid-flight that the federal mask mandate was over and passengers could remove their masks if they chose.
	Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking.
	This is the most important announcement I've ever made.
	The federal mask mandate is over.
	Take off your mask if you choose.
	Wonderful moment, mid-flight, on Alaska air today.
	A federal judge tossed a mandate in a Monday decision after it was extended by Biden admin until May 3rd, when originally set to expire on April 18th, just two days ago.
	Critics took to social media to mock Astor over her apparent distress.
	Some pointing to Dietrich's tweet that showed no one was forced to remove their mask during the flight, noting the continued obsession by some over masking.
	I was able to stop thinking about them, actually.
	I never started thinking about them since no one was forced to remove their mask.
	And if masks work, they don't.
	That's all that's needed, wrote town hall communist Derek Hunter, while conservative commentator John Cardillo asked, if those lunatics' masks work, then what's the problem?
	They just keep wearing their masks.
	This post-pandemic mask fetish is weird, wrote American Enterprise Institute senior fellow Christine Summers.
	While actor Nick Sterzi joked that he couldn't stop laughing at the same stupid, insane people scared by others about not wearing masks on a flight.
	Unbelievable!
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Well we've discussed this before about how there's 11 circuit courts and there's like 600 district courts.
	That's a little different down in Florida and so the DOJ has already announced that they're going to appeal this decision which means it'll end up going probably out of that circuit court.
	They'll move it up to D.C.
	where they've got 100 percent Fascist judges appointed repeatedly to those courts, so they'll get this overturned, and then they'll be able to say, okay, well, now we only want to use masks when we have to.
	We lost you, Joe, temporarily.
	Holly, your thoughts?
	Well, I think that this is just more proof that this was... It's fine.
	Joe, go ahead, if you can.
	We lost you.
	Holly, go ahead.
	I think that's just quickly.
	It's just proof that this is mostly a, you know, a psychological operation.
	It's about compliance.
	It's about facilitating mass hysteria and controlling people.
	The people in charge have run operations like this for years.
	There's absolutely no science behind any of this.
	It's about getting people to comply.
	The history of mask wearing goes back centuries, if not more.
	It goes back to slave training.
	And some people are taught to love their slavery.
	And so we've seen that firsthand.
	And there'll be other opportunities where they can try to push this type of agenda.
	And we've seen that with the liberals, the leftist people.
	They just love being compliant and love policing and patrolling other people and controlling other people's lives.
	Even if it costs them their own.
	Joe, if you've got a final thought you'd like to add?
	Oh no, I think we pretty much covered that.
	We're not at the end of the program yet, are we?
	No, we aren't.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, because I got a final plug when we get to that.
	Here we go.
	Here we go.
	Breaking the Spell of the Holocaust Myth and Reality Overview of the book by Dr. Nicholas Kohlstrom by Anthony C. Black.
	You can find this on my blog.
	Here's my favorite photograph of Nick's book.
	Illustration 28.
	The British soccer team at Auschwitz.
	What?
	You didn't know there was a British soccer team at Auschwitz?
	Editor's note, the featured image of the British soccer team at Auschwitz is my favorite from Nick's book, for which I was honored to compose a foreword, which I've also published separately as a Holocaust narrative, Politics Trump Science, republished on this blog and elsewhere.
	Jewish political power is rooted in a Western sense of guilt over the Holocaust, which is why they so vociferously defend World War II mythology.
	Heresy in the 21st Century, Anthony Black.
	Never in my long journalistic career have I hesitated to put pen to paper until now.
	I've delayed writing this overview of colors from a remarkable book for nearly six years.
	Up until now, no subject had been too controversial, too sensitive, too beyond the pale, to warrant more than a passing moment's consideration of consequences.
	But this is different.
	In some 16 countries in Europe, one can be put in prison for doing what I'm doing now, or even for expressing Holocaust denialism on social media.
	In Germany, some 15,000 are tried each year for thought crime for so-called right-wing extremism.
	Here in North America, it's somewhat better.
	One merely risks losing one's job, friends, and family, and possibly being blacklisted as a writer for virtually every venue one might have formerly been associated with.
	No small potatoes.
	Dr. Kohlstrom himself stumbled rather more naively into this punitive quagmire in 2008, when after merely reviewing a scientific paper, analyzing samples taken from the walls of the alleged gas chambers at Auschwitz, a paper authored by one Germar Rudolph, a young scientist working at the time at the Max Planck Institute,
	He found himself summarily dismissed from his erstwhile position as Historian and Philosophy of Science at University College London, the sole member of a staff ever to have been expelled for ideological reasons.
	As he recounts, I became ethically damned, threw out of polite, decent groups, banned from forums and denounced in newspapers.
	I felt as if some mark of Cain had been branded onto my forehead.
	I have done something so awful that we could not even discuss the matter.
	The medieval crime of heresy was back, alive and well.
	Heresy, of course, implicates the notion of taboo, and what a society makes taboo is what it feels to be sacred, and what is sacred is beyond question.
	When dealing with the Holocaust and we are, Kohlestrom assures us, dealing not with historical science, but essentially with a religion, a holo-religion.
	As the author repeatedly observes, there can be no science where doubt is prohibited, of soap and lampshades.
	Before diving into the inky abyss of the various technical strands of argument involving documentary archives, archaeology, chemistry, and so on, it behooves us first to take a bird's eye view of the general evidentiary landscape, this both to assuage immediate curiosity and lend a certain clarity and coherence to the narrative.
	But before even embarking on that perspectival journey, let me ask a question.
	Do you, dear reader, believe that during the Second World War, the Nazis plumbed the very depths of human depravity by rendering human fat into soap, of sewing human skin into lampshades, in gloves, and all manner of similar nightmare horrors?
	If you do, you would not be alone.
	Like many others, I believed it, and I confessed completely blindly all my life.
	But I was wrong.
	If you believe such, you would be wrong.
	It is not true.
	It never happened.
	You can take it to the bank.
	It's a total myth.
	And this conclusion is not just one reached by so-called revisionist authors, but is rather a simple matter of documented fact, admitted to and affirmed by the Orthodox Holohistorians themselves, such as the Yad Yashim Holocaust Museum in Israel.
	They admit those are false claims.
	It's true that during the Nuremberg trials such alleged items were displayed, but over the years they've all been systematically debunked, found to be made of non-human animal material, such as, I say, no orthodox solo historian maintains the validity of any of them anymore.
	Now, a critical mind, a curious mind, is then led ineluctably to the following query.
	To wit, if that isn't true, then what else might not be true that I have been told that I believed all my life?
	And this is where Dr. Kohlstrom, among others, naturally, bids us to listen to the contrarian general case.
	But then, what exactly is that case?
	In a nutshell, the author is arguing that the Nazi concentration camps, some in Germany itself, most the rest in Poland, were slave labor camps, though some of them were as well the only temporary transit camps whose unfortunate inmates were used in the grim service of the German war effort.
	Auschwitz, for example, was located right next door to the large Monowitz industrial plant run by I.G.
	Farben, which produced from coal much of the Reich's synthetic oil and rubber, without which the German war machine would have ground to a screeching halt, and whose labor force was sourced from the Auschwitz concentration camp itself.
	Some of them.
	The Antion Reinhardt camps were also part and parcel of a general policy established at the infamous Wannsee Conference of January 20, 1942, for the systematic deportation to the east of populations of undesirables, including Jews, Roma, communists, and so forth, who were to be deposited east of the Urals once the Soviet Union had been, as Germans
	Confidently expected, quickly vanquished by the up until then entirely successful German war machine.
	Thus the term Endlösung, which has been contentiously interpreted by the orthodox Holo historians to mean final solution, really means only End or Goal.
	In this case, deportation to the East, which action was thwarted by the unexpected resistance to, and of course, eventual failure of Operation Barbarossa, that is, the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
	But what these camps were not, according to Kollerstrom, were monstrous extermination factories that took in trainloads of human beings and simply ground them up into human corpses.
	This image he maintained is a brutal and inhuman legacy that has come to haunt the Western imagination and form the foundation of a demented sacred myth that has, along with ancillary myths, come to underpin a society based on Untrue.
	We are, he says, the people of the lie, and which has also expediently come to serve American and Western imperial interests in their truly monstrous culture of endless war.
	None of this, of course, is to condone or fail to recognize the horror and injustice of the systematic detainment of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in slave labor camps Where typhus and other diseases ran rampant and where, if not systematic killings, then certainly sporadic brutalities would have taken place.
	But again, they were not, as we have been assured all of our lives, mere factories for processing humans into corpses.
	So there you have it, the case.
	But what about the evidence?
	He goes through a very lengthy discussion of the evidence you can find on my blog at jamesfetzer.org.
	Final thoughts.
	In writing a critique of this sort, that is, one that strikes at the heart of such a long-standing and sacred societal myth, one cannot help but conjure at some level, and at certain moments, a measure of doubt.
	Questions trickle with fancy.
	Am I wrong?
	Is the author wrong?
	Have we all just been seduced by a good story, a coherent but unknowingly flawed argument?
	And indeed, if one is an honest person, the answer to those questions must be perhaps.
	Still, having crossed this bridge many times in my undistinguished muckraking career, I've settled upon a consolatory process of simply sitting back and reviewing the fundamentals of the evidence and argument, their weight and measure, all rounded off in season with a certain amount of intangible instinct and coming to a reasoned decision.
	In the end, as Nietzsche was so fond of pointing out, we must act on imperfect knowledge.
	But I will confess, even were the revisionist case eventually to be proven to be wrong and orthodoxy prevail, I could only smile and think of Ernest Mock who once said, should these concepts turn out to be true, I shall not be ashamed to be the last one to believe.
	But if the revisionist case is true, then it is not just the tragic victims of the camps themselves who have been so cynically used in a 75-year game of Western and Zionist imperial propaganda, in a game of smoke and mirrors in the service of deflecting attention for many of a real holocaust, like Vietnam or Indonesia or Iraq,
	Undercover of a fake one in a game of cruel irony where one historical fascism has been misrepresented and harnessed in the service of a future fascism.
	No, it is not just they, like Anne Frank herself, who have been so cruelly misused, but it is we, all of us, who have been played like suckers in one of the greatest swindles of all time.
	One that has warped our minds and souls not only into believing in fairytale horrors that corrupt our very view of what it means to be human, but that it has seduced us into a malignant and fatal self-righteousness where we have arrogantly come to believe that, as Carl Jung once wrote, all evil lies just a few miles behind enemy lines.
	Joe, your thoughts?
	Okay, is this final thoughts or is this just next to final thoughts?
	There's just thoughts about his review of the court.
	Oh, excellent review.
	I read that.
	Also, you want to find a guy named David Irving.
	He's a British historian who's been boycotted, but he did an absolutely impeccable study, and I think Nick Kohlstrom used some of his reference material as far as the Zyvagon B. And then also, you have to realize that every war in the last 300 years has been caused by the Rothschilds.
	They did the Opium Wars against China, where they killed between 1760 and 1945.
	They killed over 100 million Chinese.
	They caused World War I, where they killed, you know, 30 or 40 million in Europe.
	And then they funded and overthrew the Russian government.
	And then they did the Holodomor in Ukraine, where they killed 30 million Ukrainians.
	Then they stage set World War II, where they killed another 30 or 40 million people.
	And then they helped fund and install Mao as chairman of China, where he was able to do his long march in cultural revolution and kill another 50 million.
	So you want to know who the greatest mass murderers in the history of the planet are?
	It's Rothschilds and their little Zionist cabal of killers.
	These people are absolutely insane, and if you're Jewish, you need to renounce that religion.
	You need to find as much evidence you can of the criminal activities of your, quote, brothers in faith, and you need to turn those people in and absolutely end this nightmare for the rest of the people on the planet, because this is inexcusable behavior by a people group, a tribe of baby raping cannibals.
	I got no respect for it at all.
	Well said, Holly.
	Your thoughts?
	Well, I just think the whole history that we've seen, especially over the past hundred years, has been a complete lie.
	I mean, history is Written by the winners, and Jim, you've done a great job just explaining all kinds of things, whether you're talking about the moon landing or, I mean, you've written so many books on so many different topics at this point that everyone should be basically a skeptic of anything that you're seeing, especially as we were talking about before with the internet, with Wikipedia and DuckDuckGo consolidating more and more information.
	They're losing the information more.
	That's what's so fascinating right now.
	Extremely, you know, dangerous time that we're seeing on a global scale.
	They're trying to start World War III, trying to kill a bunch of people, just as we're all waking up to the fact that we've all been lied to about pretty much absolutely everything at this point.
	So a good dose of healthy skepticism will cure people of most of this disease right now.
	And well, I am Cautiously optimistic about all of this because I am seeing more and more like friends and family members just starting to question the general narrative of everything right now, which is a good starting point for all of us.
	I have not completely given up on humanity yet.
	I think there is time to turn things around.
	Without too much more bloodshed, I'm not going to operate under the premise that we're going to have a horrific World War III, just like we had one in two, as Joe described, in an attempt to just murder people.
	I mean, they make up whatever story they want, whatever religion, whatever financial institution is needed to basically murder people is what they're going to use.
	Olly, I think you got it exactly right.
	Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.

	Meanwhile, G. Stewart wrote, may I recommend something almost everyone will agree and gets you, us, and me to the same place, talk on disputed facts.
	John Hopkins proved in a learned study that shutting the economy down for two years did zero to stop COVID.
	Promoting masks to make people feel good when studies from Yale, Stanford, Netherlands prove masks don't work for COVID caused deaths because they believe masks saves lives and then did not social distance.
	All this was known to epidemiologists in advance because they do 40% of COVID.
	40% of Americans believe in freedom to choose and would not obey the mandates.
	Thus, the ship was sailing with a massive hole in the bottom and was for sure to sink anyway.
	So why did they try and fight Mother Nature with a known strategy that would fail from the start?
	Most epidemiologists knew shutting the economy down and mask mandates were bad science from the beginning.
	The chair of the department at WSU and many others said so.
	If PhDs, MDs, and attorneys challenged the notion of mandates, they would get fired.
	In the USA, if the average person challenged the notion of mandates, they would get fired.
	In China, you got fined.
	In Russia, you would go to jail.
	All the culprits responsible need to go after the executive directors of each county health department.
	They sent the Nazi inspectors out to close businesses.
	They are the true evil.
	They also knew advanced shutting the economy and wearing masks would not work.
	Fire them.
	Get your mayor, county executive, and county city council to do it.
	Create a non-partisan political group called Breathe Easy to organize at the precinct level to accomplish this.
	Appoint Breathe Easy people outside the Democrat and Republican precincts.
	Use the same maps.
	You get these from each state secretary of state.
	To become a precinct Breathe Easy committee, you must pledge to post a Breathe Easy sign in your yard.
	You must pledge to doorbell your precinct twice before each election.
	Any elected official against firing the health director that supported mandates is campaigned against.
	Any in favor of firing the county health director is voted for.
	Breathe Easy is the one issue for them.
	On other issues, Breathe Easy is free to choose.
	This is very powerful, and politicians will fear it.
	Lastly and most importantly, we want the most people to sign up for Breathe Easy so we win.
	Admit the vaccine issue is controversial.
	You can alienate 60% of potential supporters of gaining retribution over the pandemic with it.
	Just avoid it and stick with shutting the economy down en masse.
	The two issues have mass support and really piss people off.
	You see it?
	Do you see it is the same result as you want?
	Easier to achieve your result this way?
	Greg Stewart, Executive Director.
	I support you.
	Now let's get the job done.
	We want unmasked.
	We can win the rest of the way working together.
	Meanwhile, Conspiracy 101 tonight, the third class.
	Not too late to join.
	I would highly recommend, however, joining now if you're so inclined.
	Everything you ever wanted to know about conspiracy theory is what we're afraid to ask.

	Final thoughts.
	Joe, these are now your final thoughts.
	If I can remember.
	Yeah, today is 420, so happy wacky backy day to all you stoners out there.
	If you want to have a real good flashback, 1973, there was an absolutely wonderful song by a guy named Al Stewart, who's a Scottish rock singer, and it's called Roads to Moscow, and the backstory on it tells the story of German invasion of Russia during World War II is seen through the eyes of a Russian soldier Who's described by one source as being Alexander Solonitsa, ended up going back to the gulag.
	Yeah, it's a really haunting eight minute long song.
	I found several videos on it.
	I'll find the best one to post.
	One that I found and posted at Gab has film footage from World War One, which is, you know, really out of context.
	Apparently got no difference between one war and another.
	But towards the end of it, he has about three minutes of video from scenes inside Russia, which would be the Kremlin, some of their Greek Orthodox churches, their railway station, really haunting images.
	So that's a wonderful thing.
	And it's a really hauntingly beautiful song.
	And the crazy thing is you'll hear the names of a lot of towns in the Ukraine where the Germans went through in 1941 during Operation Barbaro, excuse me, September 19th.
	No, June of 40 was when they went through.
	And they had to do that because Stalin was mass troops and equipment to attack Germany when Germany was supposed to invade England.
	But bottom line is, it's a really great song.
	And it'll be a real big flashback for names that you're hearing in the news right now about battles that Russia is again fighting with Nazis in the Ukraine.
	Very good, Joe.
	Holly, your final thoughts?
	Well, I think a lot of this that we're seeing on a global level right here has to do with Russia and China, other countries wanting a sound money system, wanting to tie the ruble to a gold standard.
	And the IMF and the people that control the United States right now and OPEC and the U.S. dollar, which is backed by nothing at this point, is collapsing.
	There's a big economic battle and obviously you can't have a world war with a lot of Without a lot of financing.
	So I think that there is a big break right now between countries that finally want a gold backed or a sound financial system and then people who want like the NFTs or crypto market or this global social credit system here.
	So it's going to be an interesting next few years as we see, will the United States stand on the side of sound money?
	Will we get back to an opportunity for people to live the American dream?
	And or will we be pushed into this central bank back digital cryptocurrency and the social credit system and the new world order control agenda?
	I think that that's really what is going on here.
	Well, I celebrate Joe and Holly for the excellence of their commentary.
	Joe had a song.
	I have a poem.
	Among my favorites is Robert Frost's Fire and Ice.
	It goes like this.
	Some say the world will end in fire.
	Some say in ice.
	From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire.
	Though if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction, ice is also nice and would suffice.
	In my view, fire in this case represents global thermonuclear war with Russia, which is on the horizon.
	Ice represents death through food shortage and starvation.
	As I see it, that's what we confront as the alternatives today.
	Let us hope neither come to pass, but it's beyond our control.
	Spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends, the people you love.
	We do not know how much time we have left, and to guard against a food shortage.
	Stock up as much as you can.
	Fine supplies are available online.
	It is coming.
	Mark my words.
	Thanks for being here today.
