Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, joined today by Carl Herman in Mission Viejo, California, where he's moving, and Brian Davidson in Houston, Texas.
We're here to bring you all the news you need to know.
We begin with developments in Ukraine.
Wagner fighters are storming the streets.
This has been the turning point in the war.
Over the week, the situation on various fronts has not undergone significant change, but they have significantly intensified the onslaught on the Ukrainian position in Baku.
While the Ukraine military has reinforced a grouping on the outskirts, furiously fighting to prevent the Russians from encircling the city, the Wagner group has relied on direct assaults on the city streets.
In the center of the city, after taking control of the central market, Russian fighters storm Ukrainian positions, fighting is approaching the city administration district in the south of Bakhmut.
They're moving to the north, approaching the city center from the south.
It's all going forward in accordance with a master plan.
The head of the U.S.
General Staff claimed about 6,000 permanent Wagner contractors, and between 20 and 30 former prisoners recruited to their ranks are fighting in Bakhmut.
Whether true or not is unknown.
But they are fighting very effectively.
In turn, the head of the Wagner previously stated, the Ukrainian army concentrated a grouping of up to 80,000 fighters in nearby settlements, but have achieved no success.
In spite of sharply deteriorating weather, Russian groups continue their advance, attempting to destroy the Ukrainian strongholds.
Amid increasing risk of encirclement, Ukraine authorities have banned journalists and volunteers.
City services have been evacuated.
Mobile phone communication cut off.
Russian units continue to advance.
Ukraine forces are forced to retreat.
They've come under another massive attack by Russian missiles and drones.
Meanwhile, no doubt, as a consequence, NATO prepares for air battle with Russia over Ukraine.
This is a very bad idea.
Poland has confirmed it's transferred MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine.
The transfer of the first batch has been completed.
They're going to, uh, the Polish president has announced the first four MiG-29s, a total number not revealed.
Warsaw reportedly has 40 in total, only 29 of which are actually operational.
At the end of Marshal Vockey's set for our MiG-29s, Slavy agreed to provide 13.
The rest of the aircraft should be delivered in the coming weeks.
The Kremlin described the decision as a disposal of old, unnecessary equipment.
North Macedonia back on April 1st confirmed its decision to provide Ukraine with 12 Mi-24 attack helicopters, up to six, reportedly upgraded by the Israeli company Ilibet Systems.
The aircraft were adapted for interaction with NATO, having new avionics night vision system navigation and infrared lighting.
North Macedonia bought them from Ukraine in 2001.
Kiev was selling off old Soviet equipment, now attempting to get its helicopters back.
In response to official requests, the Ministry of Defense of North Macedonia neither confirmed nor denied about the transfer.
On April 3rd, the speaker for the Ukrainian Air Force declared the Ukrainian military already had three brigades of MiG-29 fighters and two brigades of S-27s.
He also noted they were old Soviet fighters of a fourth generation, morally and physically outdated.
One brigade includes three squadrons of twelve aircraft each, thus there should be about 108 in the three brigades, however.
Ukraine media reported there are only actually 72 MiG-29 aircraft in Ukrainian brigades.
Thus, they are likely not complete.
Ukrainian Air Force lost lots of aircraft and professional pilots since the beginning of the intrusion.
Russian air defenses are intercepting them on a daily basis without suppressing Russian air defense.
What is not possible without direct involvement, which is not possible without direct involvement of NATO forces, the number of foreign aircraft sent to Ukraine does not play a significant role.
Carl, your thoughts?
Fascinating developments.
So, as a professional historian, we are cautious about anything occurring in the present to really have a foundational grasp of those facts.
But we do have facts we do have good control over that would shape the present.
The U.S.
is not a limited government under the Constitution, or more accurately called a lying, looting, illegal, rogue state empire.
I'll put that documentary series in the show notes.
So we know that the U.S.
has a history of lying to start these wars and then engaging in illegal wars of aggression.
We know that the Ukraine was considered one of the most corrupt governments in the world up until Russia had a military intervention.
We know that the 14 and 16 color revolutions were for this history of rogue state empire with the US, UK and NATO to surround Russia.
And we know that since 2014.
There have been artillery shelling killing about 14,000 people in the Donbass.
We also know the peace terms.
One, independence for the Donbass, which you'd think the West would give, but because they're an empire, they have to just ignore it and pretend that people are too stupid to recognize that those two peace terms are fundamental and everyone would agree with it because the second peace term is no nation Which has been promised again and again.
Therefore, this is a sufficient body of evidence for anybody of intelligence and morals and ethics to withdraw consent from the U.S., the U.K.
and NATO and demand arrest of those leaders for prima facie war crimes.
With the MiGs?
I mean, this is fascinating to reveal that in this case, Poland apparently is relying on very outdated technology.
And this may be a key that everyone is kind of just resting on the protection of the U.S.
to maintain a up-to-date military force.
But we shall see.
One thing we know for sure Well, I think part of the big picture here is we have to think in terms of the supply chain to Russia.
and NATO's illegal lying rhetoric to surround Russia and engage in yet another war of aggression.
Brian.
Well, I think part of the big picture here is we have to think in terms of the supply chain to Russia.
Right now, they're heavily dependent upon China to get them their supplies.
But the problem is that a lot of their supplies are dependent upon Western-led countries and Western-led manufacturers even today.
So, the sanctioned tsunami, it appears, is starting to hit Russia and, as well, Ukraine.
Russia's destroying what Ukraine can pick up just as fast as they can get it.
So, to me, I think the big question here in this war comes down to whether Russia can really break loose of Western supply chain resources completely and totally.
I don't know if China is going to be able to continue to supply them forever.
Heck, they've stolen every, probably, plan in any of our computers.
So, they probably have, you know, plans for just about everything that needs to be made.
In this war, and I think in the long run, you're going to see that these economic issues begin to really take hold with Russia.
So I don't know if it's the West's plan to just simply starve them out when it comes to a supply chain situation, keep the war going on forever and ever and ever, or whether things are going to change.
I know that there's a lot of pressure on both sides right now to Get a hold of the supplies that you need to keep the war up.
And, you know, Russia is doing the best they can under the circumstances.
It looks like they're winning the war.
It looks like that their offensive power is overwhelming Ukraine.
And it looks like they're going to be able to take what they can take.
But Ukraine is saying we're not going to back down unless we get our way.
And if as long as they have the power to stand in that position and draw that line in the sand, This thing is just going to keep dragging on, so I really don't know what to think about the conflict at this point in time, but I think it's important to start thinking about how dependent is Russia really on Western-led supply chains to keep their military fed and running.
I think you mean how dependent is Ukraine on the Western supply, right?
Well, both sides.
Both sides.
Ukraine is obviously dependent on the Western side almost completely.
But when it comes down to the parts, do the parts break down for Russia?
Is Russia using equipment that's manufactured by Western nations?
You got to ask yourself the question as to, you know, sure, they're trying to break loose from the currency.
But how far can you really break loose?
And this is the new discussion that seems to be developing around the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to RT media and a lot of Very interesting, Brian.
Let me get us to where we should be.
Vladimir Putin is a dead man walking.
He'll not give up on the war in Ukraine, according to a former CIA chief.
He's going to be taken out.
I think this is wishful thinking.
Russian President Putin is at threat of being disposed or assassinated by his own military brass, a former CIA chief of counterintelligence claims.
James Olsen, a decorated 30-year veteran, said the Russian leader is in a no-win circumstance.
I think Putin will be taken out.
I would not rule out assassination.
The elite intel officer stated he's a dead man walking and his military consultants have become disgusted with the significant losses suffered in Ukraine, where Putin is barely expected to win the war in three days.
Given the conflict began in February 2022, Russia has reportedly lost over 200,000 dead and injured.
According to Ukraine's Minister of Defense, over 175,000 Russians have been killed since the beginning of the war.
Frankly, I regard those as grossly inflated statistics.
All of a sudden, I think Putin will never agree to withdraw forces from Ukraine until they assume control of four locations and exploit the Russian army.
He likewise cautioned if Putin continues to hold on to power, the war could spread beyond Ukraine's borders and impact neighboring Moldovia.
If Putin stays in power, there'll be a long war because he will not give up.
But I do not think Putin is going to stay in power.
I believe he will be removed.
Putin is bleeding Russia, and he can't do that forever.
This is not the first time questions have been raised about Putin's ability to preserve power in Russia.
Previously, concerns of succession at Reboud's possible departure began to swirl in Russia, followed by rumors of a coup.
That's exactly what the U.S. was saying.
would like everyone to believe.
Frankly, I don't think there's a chance of Putin being displaced.
I think he has the enthusiastic support of the overwhelming majority of Russians.
The only reason the war is dragged on is that NATO used a Minsk agreement Which was negotiate bad faith to beef up Ukraine with all kinds of military equipment that the Russian didn't anticipate.
That's caused it to be a longer slog than anticipated.
None of that reflects badly on Vladimir Putin.
Yeah, again, I think now we're at a tipping point where most of the people in the world now see the U.S.
in its true light as the rogue state, lying, looting, assassinating empire that they are.
So for a guy who was a CIA chief to come out and say anything, okay, well, then I'll just remind people of the history where Jim Fetzer is a leader that the CIA played a principal role in assassinating President John F. Kennedy.
So for this guy, who is a professor, let me just pull up where he's teaching now.
So he's at Texas A&M's, the Bush School of Government and Public Service.
So On its face, this is just virtue signaling from psychopathic controllers and the lead rogue state nation of the world.
So it's an upside-down world, and if we have a breakthrough, then this emperor's nucleus truth can be recognized.
Yeah, this guy's still CIA shoveling propaganda.
Brian, your thoughts?
Well, I think Chinese President Xi might have something to say about the assassination of Putin, being that they're so close.
There's a lot of discussion about how close they've been getting.
China obviously has been supplying a lot of the parts and components to the different factories around the world that are supplying Russia with all of their materials, so China's got a stake in Russia's side of the debate.
as well and of course China is coming out and blaming NATO for the entire problem at the beginning and so there is a war that is going but it's it's a war on a different level it's a war between Russia and China and you're right Putin as far as I can tell has support even across Ukraine and across Crimea and across other the other places in the area and that the world is getting sick and tired of
Nice points, Brian.
Very.
the global alliance and the Western-led nations, so much so that in France, the people of France broke into the Black Rock corridors and tore the place apart.
So, hey, interesting development.
Nice points, Brian Berry.
Meanwhile, Pelosi praises Hillary's effort to protect democracy when she was president, claimed Putin feared her the most intangible, What garbage!
Pelosi referred to Hillary as being a past president while extolling her efforts to safeguard democracy in America, claimed she was the one politician Vladimir Putin feared in 2016, as though Trump were his buddy.
Trump politely and intelligently wanted to have better relations with Russia.
Hillary was a scoundrel throughout.
The odd comments came at an event at Columbia where Hillary interviewed the former speaker.
What do you, Nancy, view as the biggest threat and challenge facing our democracy?
Where are the opportunities to try and stop that backsliding and turn it around?
Hillary replied, well, I appreciate that question, but I also appreciate your leadership in this regard when President.
Realize your gaffe?
She put her hand over her chest and said, my hope.
Isn't that just emblematic of the entire crux of where we are today?
With a backdrop of Trump's indictment in mind, we have the single most prominent Democrat of the past several decades.
Nancy Pelosi with a Freudian slip about President Hillary Clinton.
Democrats have been dying the results of the 2016 and tried to rewrite history on Trump's historic victory since the night she was defeated.
It's not something about Pelosi's psyche and her party as a whole.
Speaking of psyche, or perhaps better, the psychotic Pelosi proceeded to make the claim Putin feared Hillary most of any politician at the time.
Another backhanded suggest he helped defeat her.
It was her clarity and position to the present Putin, present occupant leader of Russia, that made him turn around and insure her in an illegal way, come out against her in her campaign and interference in our democracy by Vladimir Putin.
Because Hillary Clinton was the person you feared most in terms of his lack of democracy in Russia.
This is just ridiculous.
Allegations about collusion between the Trump campaign and Putin have repeatedly been debunked, even by some of the Democrat Party's greatest hope of proving them.
A study published by Nature in January showed Russia's effort to influence on social media had no measurable impact on the election.
That's, I think, self-evident to wit that Putin had sought to intervene, and I thank you for what you have done.
Proud Elephant tweets, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton just said Vladimir Putin interfered in our democracy by helping Trump win because he feared Hillary Clinton more than Donald Trump.
Does anyone actually believe these outlandish claims?
What is self-evident is that, word salad aside, Polosik basic claims are just more lies from a career liar.
Let's see if we can pick up a bit of this.
...public affairs here at Columbia.
It is a nonprofit behind the scene...
...couldn't handle that in terms of the greatest country that ever existed in the history of the world.
It still is a challenge in our country.
We'll come back to some of that in our policy discussion.
So I was a mom of five.
I was a volunteer in politics.
And then they asked, sadly, our congresswoman took ill.
People have to know.
So for sentiment to matter, people have to know.
So we have to make sure that as irresponsible and flagrant they are with the facts and misrepresentations, we have to be very strong in showing the public what is at stake, even in our own country.
This is some of the most ridiculous garbage ever put on the air, a for effort, Nancy.
Denying elections while talking about protecting democracy is what we expect.
Nancy Pelosi is in an election denying conspiracy theorist tweets, Jenna Hillis.
As per usual, there's a vast chasm beyond reality in what Pelosi and the Democrats are trying to sell.
But they drive right off the cliff willingly, like Thelma and Louise, with the lies anyway.
Why would Putin fear Hillary Clinton the most?
They're in a 2010 interview on Russian TV, no less, and Secretary of State Clinton said the goal of the Obama admin at the time was to strengthen Russia.
Here's Ryan Sabadra tweeting.
In a 2010 interview on Russian television, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the Obama admin wanted travel and business to increase between Russia and America, and that the Obama admin wanted to help strengthen Russia.
Two years later, Hillary was on TV announcing the Obama admin viewed Russia as an ally.
In many of the areas where we're working to solve problems, Russia has been an ally, she said.
So I think it's somewhat dated to be looking backward instead of being realistic about where we agree, where we don't agree, but looking for ways to bridge the disagreements and to maximize cooperation.
What?
Cooperation with our ally Russia?
This would have literally been treason if a Trump admin official sat between 2016 and 2020.
Not to mention it was Hillary and Obama who issued a reset button on Russian relations, something she previously claimed was a brilliant plan, and who, according to Obama's chief cyber official Michael Daniel, issued a stand-down order against Russian cyber attacks in 2016.
But yeah, Putin feared her the most.
Hopefully this will be the first of many interviews conducted by Hillary with her friends where we can easily dissect the lies coming from the Democrat Party.
She does, after all, have a new gig at Columbia teaching foreign policy decision-making.
Pratt-Pelousi can follow up and one day explain to us why Islamic terrorists feared Hillary most of all due to her policies on securing U.S.
embassies.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, Columbia University.
Well, they start with the fundamental premise line that the U.S.
is good and Russia is bad from the speaker emerita, Nancy Pelosi.
And the propaganda is just childish.
I mean, who do they fear the most?
The fuck does that have anything to do with anything?
And it was adroitly refuted in the article taking a look at the history.
So this is just Orwellian gaslighting.
What we have for leaders are promoted onto slick Propaganda that our media is basically is the money behind it.
So you have to have the money in order to promote these people, get them an education, get them a job.
And then the money is involved and tied to corporate media that would pick the preferred candidates, the ones who are willing to sell their soul for the policy objectives of the Satanists.
And the end results is what we have.
And what we see is the ridiculous, tragic, Comic lying sacks of spin, running an empire, killing millions every year, harming billions and looting trillions, but the propaganda is so slight.
And here we are, still talking day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, waiting for this breakthrough that has to occur before the sheeple will snap awake and hopefully stand with us and not with their ridiculous masters.
Brian.
Well, Nancy Pelosi may have been saying something that was partially true, but she might have, she should have said the whole thing.
If Vladimir Putin feared Hillary Clinton, it's because her body counts higher than his.
Hillary Clinton, at least her apparatus, took out every single person that stood in their way over years.
Probably similar to Putin.
So he might have respected her.
Fear, I don't know.
But the question is, who had the best assassination apparatus?
And that's probably something Nancy Pelosi should have talked about during that interview.
Hey, Hillary Clinton might have a better assassination apparatus than Vladimir Putin.
I like that, Brian.
That's very nice.
Yeah, the Clinton body count is staggering.
Meanwhile, Doctors report a startling rise in testicular injuries among women athletes, the Babylon Bee reports.
A new study indicates a disturbing trend as testicular injury in women's sports are increasing at an astounding rate.
Of course, as more and more men pretend to be women, it's disgusting.
More from Hillary.
It's time to end free speech in America and become more like Europe.
Wow!
What leadership!
What a champion of democracy!
Slaynews.com reports.
Rather defend America than make it exceptional and see other countries in the world don't go where we went, which was to largely unregulated media with no fairness doctrine, no accountability for lies, unless, of course, these lawsuits against Fox were successful.
She praised France's restrictive speech laws.
Probably what really helped Macron was the law in France which said no coverage of the election 72 hours before.
And a lot of people who were in on this effort to take down Macron didn't know about that law.
So they started dumping all this phony information on the Friday before the Sunday election.
Because they didn't know about the law, it got no traction.
Hillary also told the audience of a conversation with former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, where Hillary asked why that country had less political polarization than Australia.
We never let Robert Murdoch have a television president, Dern said.
Pelosi tried weakly to go along.
Again, if Trump didn't give Ukraine the javelin, Putin would be in Kiev by now, claiming Vlad interfered Hillary more than Trump and interfered in our election.
She's that.
When Secretary Clinton was in the Senate and First Lady, especially as Secretary of State in more recent times, she was, she had been, and at that time implemented many things showing American support for democracy.
It was her clarity in position to the President Putin, occupant leader of Russia, that made him turn around and, in a legal way, come out against her in the campaign.
That, I think, is self-evident, and thank you for what you have done.
Hillary was the person he feared most in terms of his lack of democracy in Russia.
That, I think, is self-evident, and thank you for what you have done.
Here again, the proud elephant tweet.
Does anyone actually believe these outlandish claims?
Here's another from Concoa Substack Threat.
Joe Rogan and Michael Schellenberger discuss the censorship industrial complex, the Twitter files, the Biden laptop, the election integrity project, and U.S.
government officials, contractors, and NGOs using disinformation and propaganda against the American people.
Kate A. tweets, Matt Piabee discussed disturbing new findings in her Twitter files.
Pass when Institute discussions in 2021 revealed their Orwellian plan to roll out legislation in the EU-US designed to ensure complete control and immediate surveillance over media content monitored by AI.
Here, let me point out, Hillary is willing to resort to a skullduggery.
Even in her national debate with Donald Trump, she used a body double.
That is not Hillary.
That is a younger, healthier, far more telegenic individual.
They have a voice box that made her voice indistinguishable from that of Hillary Clinton.
More proof?
There's a specific ratio between the bottom of the upper teeth and the pupils of the eye.
Hillary has a ratio of 1 to 1.2, but the double for her, 1 to 0.6.
One of multiple proofs it was not Hillary.
Here you can see the difference back in 2016.
Of course, you'd rather put the woman on the right on the stage than the woman on the left.
The woman on the right ain't the real Hillary, but she's certainly far more attractive than the real one.
Meanwhile, Carl, your thoughts?
Well, first, in that little clip that we saw in the last segment of Nancy Pelosi saying, the U.S.
is the greatest country that ever existed.
Yeah, jumping onto what Brian said, the greatest assassinator that ever existed.
Yeah, I'll buy that.
The greatest rogue state empire, the most dangerous.
Yeah, I'll believe that.
And I really like that photo of Hillary in the blue.
That was...
Well, well orchestrated for her character.
And Clinton said, no accountability for lies, huh, bitch?
Well, what about paying for the Steele dossier in 2016 for Russiagate?
That no accountability for lies?
How about that one?
And then all the lies that we can associate with the body count of the Clintons.
And then I thought it was nice and appropriate to bring in Big Jack Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand for a little chat with that.
And so Big Jack admitted that like, piano penis playing Zelensky, they don't allow oppositional media in their country.
That's the type of democracy that they have.
So now with Clinton being a body double, I think I predict that once we get the breakthrough and once the truth comes out, we're going to find out that our opponents have been using these body doubles for a long time under many different circumstances.
That might be what's going on with several of the political leaders.
Because in order to run a non-democracy, just a shadow, a puppet, a show democracy, you're just going to pretend.
So whether it's the real person or not, it doesn't fucking matter.
You just need to have a face in there and corporate media that will go along and you have basically a brand.
And I think that we're going to find out many of the political leaders.
Putin, I believe, is also a brand.
Now, there may, in the show that we're in, the tragic comic show, there may be no problem with, you know, if you think back and step back and put on your thinking cap, both for the white hats and the black hats.
And the idea of keeping a Putin in power, no matter what, for continuity might be a good and kind of an invulnerability of a steady leadership is what you want.
But we'll find out.
We have to have some breakthrough.
But for sure, the photographic evidence suggests that that was something else that was not reptillary in 2016 for that debate.
And it was not Joe Biden, the comedian, in the 2020 debate with Trump.
Brian.
Oh, yeah, they're going to be able to keep these people alive for absolutely every year.
Hillary Clinton's going to be 112 years old.
Because the Clinton apparatus is a machine.
It's a machine that runs on an image and a voice.
And that's all it is.
The body doubles, the fakes, the deep fakes, all the garbage that they've put out.
You know, remember when she was accusing right-wing extremists of stealing all the elections?
You can go back on Hillary Clinton.
Years!
She's she's very very old yet somehow just keep getting a recycled spry new leader that's got her identity.
I remember when she was so sick she couldn't get out of an SUV or get into an SUV.
She was a mess and here we are years later and she's still Pop it up on these shows?
I don't buy it.
She's RBG old and probably RBG dead.
But Clinton, Inc.
is such a powerhouse that they have to keep putting a face in there to continue collecting the money.
That's all it is.
There's no way, there's no way this is the spry young Hillary Clinton putting videos out there that are saying, hey, you know, look at how fresh and young and spry I am.
There's just no way.
Especially if you believe what was coming out of the underground, the dark web, the Pizzagate scandal about some of the witchcraft and some of the garbage that she was actually involved with.
You know, I just, I think I'm tired of these old windbags.
And there are machines pushing the American people around.
I'm done with it.
I think a lot of us feel the same way, Brian.
Meanwhile, Manhattan D.A.
to face congressional probe and will be held accountable for his actions.
Manhattan D.A.
Bragg has single-mindedly pursued age-old charges concerning alleged events against President Trump, stepped into uncharted territory with his indictment.
He has to know Republicans won't stand for this attempt to smear Trump.
That his proceedings will likely backfire.
The media is having a field day.
34 counts that seem repetitive and unexplained legally in the document.
Bragg's about to see his own battle start.
Two top Republicans, Kevin McCarthy, have doubled down, warning the Manhattan District Attorney will face a congressional investigation.
The Speaker lashed out at the prosecutor for bringing politicized charges against a former president over allegations he paid hush money to two women, including former porn star Stormy Daniels.
McCarthy, representing California 22nd for the 9th term, accused the 49-year-old who tried to derail Trump bid to return to the White House.
Of course!
Reich is attempting to interfere in our democratic process by invoking federal law to bring politicized charges against President Trump.
His weaponization of the federal justice process will be held accountable by Congress.
A spokesman did immediately reply to what—when it would be opened and what it hoped to achieve.
McCarthy made his remarks after Trump pled not guilty, Trump himself posted.
Republicans in Congress should defund the DOJ and FBI until they come to their senses.
The Democrats have totally weaponized law enforcement in our country and are viciously using this abuse of power to interfere with our already under siege elections.
A court filing said hush money was given to porn star Stormy Daniels, Playboy model Karen McDonald, and a former Trump Tower doorman who claimed to have information Trump had a child out of wedlock.
But Manhattan D.A.
Alvin Bragg argued the one-time reality star stumped up its ass to conceal information that could have stopped the 2016 White House run.
That came from the Daily Mail.
The registered Democrat told reporters what this case is about.
34 false statements made to cover up other crimes.
These are felonies in New York State, no matter where you are.
We cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct.
The problem being, he's not telling us what the other crimes are that 24 false statements, which would otherwise be misdemeanors, is supposed to be.
The court filing said Trump and others violated election laws, caused false entries to be made in business records, and they took steps that mischaracterized for tax purposes the true nature of the payments.
But media analysts are weighing in.
This is repulsive, said Sean Hannity.
It's a disgusting political hit job, the likes of which we've never seen in our country.
Tucker Carlson, while not a fan of Trump, dissected the indictment, noting all 34 charges seem to be the same.
He further noted, The charge of allegedly false statements that would have affected the outcome—the manner in which they would have made a difference—is not even stated.
This effort is one in a long line of unprecedented steps that permanent Washington has taken to stop Donald Trump from holding office in a democracy.
It's an effort to take him out of the political race.
That's not allowed.
Tucker continued, It almost feels as though they're pushing the population to react.
Not vaguely referring to Democrats, but to Republicans and supporters of Donald Trump.
At what point do we conclude they're doing this to produce a reaction?
Tucker Gas, former ESPN personality Jason Whitlock, struck a similar tone.
They're agitating for unrest.
I'm ready for whatever's next.
If that's what they want, let's get to it.
This day will go down as a dark day for America, said Jesse Watters.
This is a calculated move.
Do you think Trump would be indicted if he weren't running?
Dan Bongino, a supporter, said the indictment proves the U.S.
is now a police state, predicting it would end up handing Trump the 2024 Republican nomination.
It ushers in what will probably be a very dark era, a political persecution and prosecution of the type we normally associate with the Soviet Union or Banana Republic, said Molly Hemingway, editor of The Federalist, during a panel spot.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, this New York DA brag is similar to a lot of the blue state DAs who have insisted on not prosecuting, not enforcing basic theft, which, as we've talked about on previous shows, have shut down a lot of businesses in San Francisco, where I used to live.
Still kind of live there for the next month.
But this insistence on not upholding the law.
And then we get to this thing, in contrast, where he's not doing his job for the people of New York.
I do recommend the law blog of Jonathan Turley.
Turley, T-U-R-L-E-Y.
He has argued cases in front of the Supreme Court.
His law blog has been voted as the best in the U.S.
And he was the attorney who was from the Democratic side in Trump's first impeachment, and he argued that this should not be an impeachment because it was a crimeless impeachment.
Now, regarding these 34 counts, Turley simply writes, after charging Trump, Bragg insisted that he will convict Trump of the quote-unquote crime to promote a candidacy through unlawful means, end quote, and he insists that he will prove quote attempts to violate state and federal election laws, unquote.
The only thing that's missing is exactly what crime was that?
What crime did he commit?
So the idea that an organization not run by Trump after he was president, president bought information from somebody, which is not a crime.
And then he has to say that he can read Trump's mind for some intent, but he doesn't even connect it to the actual law.
So.
And then the second hearing, so they bring this out and then the corporate media propaganda machine is going to play with it.
And the next hearing isn't until the end of this year.
So they're just pushing this on as long as they can because what's important for our opponents is only narratives, never the facts.
And this is going to go on forever until we have some sort of a breakthrough.
Well, they want to push it back so it's closer to the nomination and the race for the election.
Their calculation is, while it may cement its gain in the nomination, it's going to disaffect the swing voters who aren't going to vote for a guy convicted of a crime.
I'm not convinced.
I think that's going to backfire massively.
Brian, your thoughts?
Well, I think it proves one thing.
Trump's not a member of the Get Out of Jail Free Club.
Apparently.
Look, when was the last time you saw a powerful Washington figure of any sort sitting down in front of a judge on criminal charges?
I mean, think back.
When was the last time?
Can you think of anyone, Carl?
Jim?
Anybody?
Yeah, I forget the guy's name.
This was a while ago in the 80s, and this was a guy who went on about an airline crash, a TWA crash, but I forget the details of it.
But he spoke out about it, and he ended up being disciplined within the House of Representatives, I believe.
I believe this congressman's first name was Jim, but I forget the last name of that guy.
Wasn't a former speaker.
Denny Hastert when he dragged through the coals.
Oh yeah, yeah.
He had the sex thing going on.
Okay, so, but regardless, if you look at the multitudes of crimes that these people are generally involved in, of course that's a big blanket statement, but the multitudes and the protect one another apparatus that is in place in The federal, at the federal level.
And now we have a rogue New Yorker saying, oh, well, you used to be protected by the federal level, but now I'm going to take you here.
And then you've got Comer saying, no, no, no, this is a congressional matter.
And since you decided to violate our normal protocol of going after federal level politicians, we want you in front of Congress.
Look, at the end of the day, I haven't seen a significant perp walk in a long Long time.
So this does violate their protocol of protect one another at any cost.
And maybe it's because Trump isn't one of them.
I don't know the answer to that.
Maybe Trump is exactly one of them.
But you see, you see the point.
To see him sitting in front of a judge on a criminal charge is totally unheard of.
Totally unheard of.
It just leads to questions.
And it's open a Pandora's box.
There's going to be all kinds of investigation of Democrats now.
Could go back to Bill Clinton, obviously the Biden crime family.
It's going to be wild.
Meanwhile, failing city Chicago replaces a radical mayor with another radical mayor.
This has to have been rigged.
On Tuesday, Chicago elected Brandon Johnson, a left-wing radical activist, teacher, union lobbyist, as next mayor.
Replacing failed radical leftist Lori Lightfoot, AP declared Johnson the race winner with 99% of the precinct reporting.
He secured 51.5% of the vote.
1.5% of the vote, 284,108 opponent, the moderate Democrat, Paul Vallis, 48.6, 268,115 at his victory party.
party.
Johnson explained.
You know, they said this would never happen.
Addressing those who didn't vote for him, saying, I care about you, I value you, I want to hear from you, I want to work with you, and I'll be the mayor for you too.
Right.
Fat chance.
Johnson stated his campaign was always about being a better, safer, stronger Chicago.
He considers Chicago a world-class city with a great natural beauty and a history of being a leader in the nation.
He sees himself as part of a progressive movement inspiring the city and the world.
He aims to take this movement to other parts of the U.S.
and show the world what's possible when values are upheld.
Johnson is a Cook County Commissioner, former social studies teacher, lobbyist for the Chicago Teachers Union, backed by Bernie Sanders, and the Democrat Socialists of America.
His campaign centered around promoting racial justice—surprise, surprise!—and supporting the working class.
Fat chance!
He opposed his charter schools, has called for increased taxes on large corporations, wealthy residents, suburbanites, visiting the city to fund new social programs.
He promised a billion in new spending.
Chicago has faced a rising crime problem, which has led residents to leave the city and a decline in the downtown area.
Crime was a major issue, especially by the other side.
Bill's campaign is a law-and-order Democrat called for hiring hundreds of new police officers.
Johnson focused on addressing the root causes, such as underfunded schools, lack of good jobs, unaffordable housing, and insufficient mental health care.
Johnson advocated to defund the police in 2020, has since attempted to distance himself from it, having become a liability for Democrats.
Instead, he prioritized training and promoting new detectives and hiring more social workers to respond to mental health crises.
During the campaign, he accused Ballast of being too conservative and a Republican in disguise.
Johnson advanced to the runoff by building a coalition of progressive whites and Hispanics, winning over enough black voters from Lori Lightfoot who came in third in the primary.
In the all-party primary back in February, Dallas received the most votes, but Johnson was a surprise second place, winning around 20% of the vote.
Let me just say, this guy is a loser.
And it's not going to do Chicago any good, and crime's going to continue to increase.
And the idea of sending social workers to domestic disputes where you do not know what violence may ensure, when they're unprepared to cope with it, is stupid.
Colossally stupid.
Carl.
Yeah, the whole thing is stupid and virtually signaling.
So on its face, anybody who rises up to power shouldn't be as suspect as anybody else who rises up to power.
That is, you shouldn't trust any of it.
So those little more than half a million total votes for Chicago to select, not elect, a mayor, that all should be as suspect as all the other bogus elections.
So who knows what's going on here?
The people need to have some sort of a break in the trust of these psychopaths.
Why would you believe anything any of those political candidates say if they're not speaking at least sufficiently like us to be able to point out, you know, we really shouldn't be talking about new stuff unless we address The crimes that have happened in the background, but they won't do it.
So, you know, there's no hope for any leadership if you're not going to discuss these disgusting, revolting crimes.
Brian?
Yeah, something stinks in Chicago, and I think that the people of Chicago can smell it just as well.
Look, they'd had enough of Lori Lightfoot and her loosey-lefty policing stance, and all the shootings, and all the death, and all the I mean, Chicago is a wonderful, beautiful city filled with a lot of wonderful, beautiful people.
It is a great place, but yet it's named the Windy City after the politicians.
Not necessarily the wind that comes off Lake Michigan.
It's the windy politicians that tell the big lies and tell the big stories.
There are some beacons of hope and shining light in Chicago, but nothing Seems to be coming out of there any good related to elections.
This was the home of Barack Obama.
This was the starting point of ACORN and other election meddling type of organizations that have developed from this particular ooze, this swamp of political creatures.
And now we replace Beetlejuice with Beetlejuice 2.0 in a new version.
It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
I was just in Chicago for a few days, a few months ago, talking to people downtown and talking to them.
They were sick of it.
They were done.
They've had enough.
They'd heard enough.
So this just tells me that there's a machine.
And I'll tell you something, there's a story coming out of Maryland right now that may be very interesting for Chicago.
The story is the new report released by the Attorney General's Department on Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Baltimore sexually abusing Children and making payouts.
I mean, it's brand new.
It just came off the presses, and it paints an absolutely diabolical and damning picture of the Catholic Church in Maryland, and it would not surprise me if a lot of the same apparatus that was involved in these archdioceses in Maryland is just as involved in Chicago.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit.
I have no doubt this election was rigged and manufactured to guarantee this guy would make it to the top.
I have no doubt whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Mike King, New World Order, Russia rising in Central Asia, in opposition of the New York Times.
Moscow takes charge in Central Asia, along with Pakistan and China.
Russia has gained broad influence in security matters at the expense of the United States.
No doubt about it.
For most of the 19th century, filling into the 20th, the Rothschild British Empire menaced the hated Romanov Russian Empire over Afghanistan and neighboring territories in Central Asia.
This geopolitical maneuvering, intended to contain and ultimately weaken Russia, came to be known as the Great Game.
Using a phony pretext of a non-existent Russian plot to invade India, Britain between 1839 and 1919 waged three Anglo-Afghan Wars, the second engineered by Jewish Prime Minister and Rothschild agent Benjamin Disraeli.
was the most disastrous for Britain of the three, so much that it finally led to the Israelis' downfall.
Fast forward to the late 1970s.
When what came to be known as a great game actually began.
This time around, the Rothschild-Rockefeller crime syndicate's new hitman was the U.S.
The target had a new name and regime, the Soviet Union.
Instead of a direct U.S.
military occupant, Zbigniew Brzezinski and public president Jimmy Carter used the CIA to recruit, finance, and train a proxy army.
For the purpose of overthrowing the neutral government of Afghanistan and replace it with one antagonistic toward the Soviets, the Russian bear reluctantly was forced to take Zbig's bait, wound up bogged down in Afghanistan for a decade, in an all-win war against well-equipped U.S.-UK-Saudi proxy terrorist and mercenary, the ISIS of the day.
Devious Israeli played the great game against Russia.
Central Asia has always been a strategic hotspot.
Zbigniew and his puppet Jimmy Carter set a trap for the Russian bear.
Time headlines from 12-29-71 through 1-15-1980.
After starting trouble, the Carter admin falsely blamed the Soviets for aggression.
Carter calls Soviet actions a threat.
Carter tells Soviet poet troops out of Afghanistan.
Carter says Soviet isn't telling facts about Afghan coup.
U.S.
warns of new responses to Soviets over Afghanistan, as Moscow defends its role.
Moscow portrays Carter as wicked.
Carter's preparing a new U.S.
doctrine to contain Moscow.
U.N.
votes 114 to deplore Soviet moves in Afghanistan.
Demands troop withdrawal.
But Trump knows the real history.
Trump defends Soviet Union 1979 invasion of Afghanistan.
Trump defends invasion of Afghanistan.
Garbling facts in the process, say those seeking to discredit him.
Trump.
The reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia.
They were right to be there.
The problem is, it was a tough fight, and literally, they went bankrupt.
They went into being called Russia again, as opposed to the Soviet Union.
You know, a lot of these places you're reading about now are no longer part of Russia because of Afghanistan.
Well, actually, because of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet disaster in Afghanistan would be, by design, the main factor in its 1991 demise and subsequent splittering of the old Empire Union into 15 new states, the largest being Russia.
The plan then was for the globalists to gobble up the new nations of Central Asia—Takistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc.—while destabilizing with the goal of further disintegrating the new Russia itself.
Domination of the Central Asian land resource population mass was the key to finally winning a great game and rolling all of Eurasia into the new world order.
Brzezinski understood that if the opportunity to conquer Central Asia were lost, it might never come again.
As a warning to his fellow mucketybucks about the importance of Central Asia, and as an obvious telegraphing of the needed 9-11 attacks to come, Zbig wrote the grand chessboard in 1998.
The following excerpts tell you all you really need to know, not just about the new great game, but about the ultimate great game for world domination, ZBIG.
The ultimate objective of American politics should be to shape a truly cooperative global community.
Ever since the continents started interacting politically some 500 years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power.
It is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America.
The formulation of a comprehensive and integrated Eurasian geo-strategy is therefore the purpose of this book.
How America manages Eurasia is critical.
A bower that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economic productive regions.
Eurasia accounts for about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources.
Eurasia is the globe's central arena.
Hence, What happens to the distribution of power on the Eurasian continent will be of decisive importance to America's global primacy.
Without sustained and directed American involvement before long, the forces of global disorder could come to dominate the world scene, and the possibility of such a fragmentation is inherent in the geopolitical tensions not only of today's Eurasia, but of the world more generally.
America may find it difficult to fashion consensus on foreign policy, except in the circumstance of a truly massive external threat.
The attitude of the American public toward the projection of power has been ambivalent.
The public supported America's engagement in World War II because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
In a nutshell, what Ziebig was saying in 1998 was this.
Fellow globalists, with the Russians still on their back, China not yet strong enough, the time to take Central Asia is now.
If we lose the opportunity, there won't be a world government.
All we need is a massive false flag attack to be blamed on some terrorist hiding in Afghanistan, and the currently ambivalent American public will then support our takeover of Asia.
Our words paraphrasing ZBIG.
His scheme for Central Asian domination and the Israeli scheme for a greater Israel required a truly massive external threat, with a shock effect not seen since Pearl Harbor, in order for the ambivalent American public to support such a bold foreign projection of power, which occurred on 9-11.
Now with those contextual and recent history lessons out of the way, with great delight, we quote from this slime's article.
As the Afghan government collapsed and the U.S.
scrambled to speed up its evacuation, hundreds of Russian armored vehicles and artillery pieces were clearly visible hundreds of miles away at the border with Tajikistan.
They were part of a high-profile military exercise taking place just 12 miles from a Taliban position, and they were there, a Russian general said, to make a point.
They are all visible.
General Anatoly Sidorov, Commander of the Forces, observed they are not hiding.
It will now be Russia, the exercise signaled, that will be shielding Central Asia from potential violence next door.
In the long post-Soviet jostling for power and influence in Central Asia, sometimes called the New Great Game, An ever more dominant player has emerged from the chaos and confusion of Afghanistan—Russia!
Sergey Lavrov said of the withdrawal of NATO in the U.S.
This is a group of countries that, in a very painful and difficult way, is giving up on the positions in the world they were used to for many decades.
I am thinking of this as a post-Western, post-US space now, said Alexander Cooley, director of the Herrmann Institute at Columbia, an authority on Central Asia.
It's a region transforming itself without the United States.
The grand history-altering objectives of the 9-11 false flag and its evil spawn that was a thermal war on terror have been blocked and reversed.
From the deepest pits of hell, Brzezinski is lamenting the loss of Central Asia to the forces of global disorder, just as the Santanyahus of this world are now compelled to give up on their Europhrates-to-the-Nile Greater Israel Project.
And the two men we have to thank above all others for having thwarted the satanic schemes of the Global Zionist Axis are Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
The only question now is, will 9-11 truth be revealed to normiedom after Trump's eventual triumphant return to the presidency stay true?
These chess masters who beat both Brzezinski and Netanyahu, trumped ABC News globalist George Stephanopoulos in 2019.
Iraq did knock down the World Trade—did not knock down the World Trade Center.
It was not Iraq.
It was other people.
And I think I know who the other people were, and you might also.
Trump TV commercial from 2010 for Trump Luxury Suites, mattresses by Serta, showed him addressing sheep, sheep numbered 9 and 11, standing on two towers.
Was it a Sicilian message of revelations to come?
Bubis Americanus won.
I read in the New York Times today, Russia, China, Pakistan filled in a power void left by the U.S.
and NATO's exit from Afghanistan.
Bubas Americana is too.
Well, I don't like the way that Biden botched a withdrawal, but it's about time we left after 20 years, St.
Sugar.
And it's about time that 9-11 truth comes out.
Carl.
And that is a brilliant article by the anti-New York Times Mike King, who I have appreciated for probably about a decade.
So the big picture is, is that we're looking at a choice between the BRICS country having a gold-backed ruble versus the Great Reset, which would be the next game from the current masters who are engaged in this funny money of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England.
The great reset with Klaus Schwab where the people will live in pods, wash for body parts, eat bugs, own nothing and be happy.
Now that's a great comparison that if you connect what's going on in the Ukraine now with the previous war in Afghanistan to bleed the previous Soviet Union and to bleed the current Russia that is apt.
And the idea that the US and whatever powers are associated with it would want to take over the Middle East at that time.
Oh, yeah, because right after 9-11, you have General Wesley Clark, who was the former commanding officer for NATO, coming out and saying that he met with a Pentagon general who confessed to him that after 9-11, They were told that the U.S.
wanted to take out seven Middle Eastern countries in the next 10 years.
So all that is consistent, and again, consistent with history, that you can go back over 200 years, and that's business as usual for the U.S., is to violate treaties at convenience, and then go ahead and lie about them, and then just go ahead and invade these countries and dominate their resources, both natural and human.
Brian.
Now, Paul Craig Roberts used to say about how we controlled other countries that it was with bags of money.
And then Barack Obama come along and it's not bags of money anymore.
It's piles of gold.
Literally, I think somewhere around 30 billion worth that went to Iran to gain control of what was going on over there.
So, yes, we've got our teeth in deep over there.
It's our CIA doing what they do best, which is controlling, manipulating, and replacing legitimate regimes with puppets that will be US-friendly.
It's been happening for years.
I'm sure it will continue to happen for a long time after this.
And the problem right now that we've got is that we're competing with BRICS, which includes Russia and China, That are beginning apparently to do the same thing, except they're doing it a little more over the table and a little less underhanded than we're doing it.
And I think a lot of those places are beginning to respond to that influence because it's not as creepy and dark.
It's more in the open and out in the light.
So I expect that the dominoes will begin to fall.
About the time the implementation of the central bank digital currency starting in July, as it was announced a couple days ago, I expect that it'll be about that time that things really get off the chain crazy around the world.
Very good.

Last night, Brian Davidson and I did a show with Giuseppe Vavangulo called The Sane Asylum, where Brian presented a very minute and detailed analysis of the body cam footage in particular, which went slow to show motion so there was no reaction from the guns which were being fired.
But also observe, I recall, no shell ejections, no hitting on the floor of any metal, no bullets ricocheting off of the walls, no holes in the wall, no blood from the target.
It was a complete hoax.
Check it out.
Available, among other places, on my Bitchute channel, Jim Fetzer, and I posted it as well on Twitter, at Jim Fetzer.
Meanwhile, final thoughts.
Carl, yours.
Well, first, I'm excited to take a look at our private investigator friend Brian's work for that Nashville shooting.
And, of course, just a first observation.
If you have no recoil of the gun, that's physically impossible.
And as a professional historian, the strongest body of evidence that we always go to first is physical evidence, because those laws of physics cannot be violated.
If there is no recoil on the gun, then the film has been fabricated.
Most likely you had play acting, and then you just put a soundtrack over on top of it.
Now my Closing statement is, again, similar to how I've been seeing the whole thing, is that we live in this emperor's new clothes or welly and type of a world where these criminals, these psychopaths are on top and they just give the most vacuous propaganda that the name of the game is simply in this great awakening is
will the truth prevail?
Will enough sheeple be able to confront basic facts?
And the basic facts ties into physical reality.
Will they have the intellectual integrity and moral courage to open up their own eyes to take a look what's in their own hands and see for themselves?
Or will their eyes remain shut?
And will they turn away from physical reality and just allow themselves to be dictated?
And the stakes are basically, as I said before, this great reset where human beings will be locked down further into a slave society with no potential for true creative synergy.
Or if we have this great awakening and we get a breakthrough through the truth, all these psychopaths will be arrested.
The whole truth will come out and that will include breakthroughs into free energy and all kinds of suppressed technology that will lead us into the Star Trek-like future.
So for our audience members, I do salute you for having the intellectual integrity and the moral courage to be able to direct what you think and what you say and what you do for the truth.
Simply stand strong for what we can influence.
Brian, your final thoughts?
may be paradoxically limited to just what we think, what we say, and what we do.
We cannot count on any effect outside of that.
And that is the paradox of having a stronger and stronger voice with having no dependence upon any audience whatsoever.
Brian, your final thoughts.
Building that, what I'd consider to be a seminal work on the Nashville shooting, did eat up a lot of time, but it was very important to do.
And I don't go out and break out every shooting because, frankly, most of the time my gut instincts are right anyway.
And the more work I do, the more it's just confirmed.
But I did this one for the audience because right now there's a lot of people that are beginning to wake up to how bad these False flag shootings smell overall.
So I took the time out of my schedule to sit down and build this one out and I'm really, really proud of it.
I think you ought to show it.
I think that you ought to go take a look at it and really sit in and enjoy a couple of hours of pretty heavy conspiracy theory and actual physical analysis of what we were given to look at.
It's not every day that somebody takes and breaks out all the important parts of a video, speeds it down to 5%.
Frame rate shows you every detail that's developing and exactly how it developed and exactly where it developed.
There's not a lot of works out there in our community where somebody puts that kind of time and dedication into it.
And I've done that.
And then I handed all the work over to Jim for others to expand upon it.
But hopefully at the end of the day, when this is all said and done, we can make this so obvious that we can begin to wake up some of these normies and begin to change this nation.
Well, thanks to Brian and Carl for their excellent commentary.
I would add, in my opinion, Brian has done definitive work on the Dashcam footage.
It shows beyond any doubt it was a drill presented as a real event.
To promote gun control, I added additional arguments and evidence coming from multiple sources, including a chiropractor who's been able to distinguish the party who played the role of the shooter from the girl who's supposed to be a transgender.
They are not the same person.
Go to my blog, jameshfetzer.org, or watch this presentation, because it's there also in part to complement Bryant's, in my judgment, definitive work.
Remember, Emily Parker and Vicki Soto, who are speaking up—not from the grave, because they were never married, they never died—that some of the crisis actors in Nashville were, like themselves, trained in Connecticut.
Vicki recently apologized for her participation in Uvalde.
Or she reprised her role as a dead teacher, Eva Morales in this case, for $210,000.
Do you have any doubt how much money the government is spending on mesmerizing the American people over these phony stage events?
They've jacked the ante to 310.
No wonder so many are so eager to get in front of the camera these days.
The beat goes on.
Don't let yourself be played.
Meanwhile, spend as much time as you can with your family, the people you love and care about, and Have a great weekend.
I will be unavailable because I'm spending time with my family this weekend.
