Need to Know News (1 June 2023) with Carl Herman & Brian Davidson
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer, Madison, Wisconsin, joined today by Carl Herman in Mission Viejo, California, where he's just made the move, and Brian Davidson, who's on the job in the vicinity of Houston, Texas.
We're here to bring you the latest news you need to know.
An extremely important interview by an Army officer, Mitchell Henderson, with Jeff Rents, has been transcribed by William Fox, a former Army major, publisher, and editor of America First Books.
A good man.
Here are some highlights.
The entire interview can be found on my blog at jameshfetzer.org.
So the United States is really good at miscalculating.
Hubris has made us ignorant of reality.
A plan for Ukraine is to set off tactical nuclear device at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant as a false flag to justify American and NATO involvement in the war.
We will viciously attack the Russian Black Sea Fleet as well as attack air and ground bases within Russia with conventional weapons.
Then we will flood Ukraine west of the Dnieper and along the Black Sea with NATO ground troops in the belief the Russians will not shoot at them.
NATO has already set up a no-fly zone over Odessa, and they'll extend that to cover Ukraine west of the Dnieper.
Bill Fox adds, a search of NATO no-fly zone over Odessa yields results showing Ukrainian government has asked for it, but no sign it has been granted as yet.
Of course, it is our space-secret decoder ring, where Bill adds something like a plastic play toy for boards found at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box, telling us this'll work okay, because it won't.
What it does is condescending.
It's smug.
It's arrogant.
It presumes weakness on Russia's part.
It presumes the Russians have no reason to fight.
There's no reason for them to fight.
They're not fighting for anything, okay?
That's the way we look at it.
But the fact is they're fighting for everything.
They're fighting for their very existence.
They're fighting for their God, okay?
And we are not.
We are fighting for Satan, all right?
You know, that's how they see it, okay, Rents?
I know, I know.
Continuing.
So CIA has been doing psychological preparation of the battlefield since November.
In November of 2022, Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, said very clearly at the U.N.
that if America and NATO crossed the red line, posing an existential threat to the Russian nation, Russia would use nuclear weapons directly against the U.S.
and NATO.
From that very moment, the government and mainstream have been constantly repeating warnings on the stark response if Russia uses a nuke in Ukraine.
Russia has no need to do that, however.
Ukraine cannot win, cannot take their territory back.
So why repeat the lie in order to make people believe Russia is saying they'll use a nuke in Ukraine to use that nuclear attack as a pretext for NATO to intervene in the war?
This'll be a holy light crusade at the U.N.
to crush Russia because they used a nuke, okay?
Arm House calculation is we don't think Russia will go nuclear if we do this scenario, but Russia is very clear.
The second we set off a nuke and a false flag in Zambezia, Russia will launch a massive all-out nuclear strike on the U.S.
and NATO.
We're going to die by the millions for the disgusting, incestuous, pedophile, Biden-insane plan to take down Russia.
The narrative is set.
The UN blames Russia for firing on the nuclear plant.
The plant is occupied and run by Russia.
Why would they bomb their own people?
This is so stupid, so stupid it defies description and has rents.
Yes, it does.
It has nothing to do with logical thought, nothing.
Henderson, no, not at all, rents.
We should not even be talking about it, Henderson.
So the mainstream media in the West keep putting up false stories about Russian casualties and Russian troops and tactical failures.
They want to create a narrative for Russia's failing, horrible, and the upcoming major counteroffensive that will soon be launched in Zambosia, and Russian troops will be routed, causing Russia to get desperate and use a tactical nuke.
This is their scenario, okay?
The rest is building it up.
I mean, it's competing.
You can find just as many videos saying about the glorious NATO victories in Ukraine as you will the Russian, okay?
So it's nonsense.
Right now, as we speak, American soldiers are using chemical weapons to assist the Ukrainians.
This directly violates the 1997 Convention on Chemical Weapons, which the United States signed.
This is a war crime.
Biden is the Commander-in-Chief.
He is responsible.
So is Lloyd Austin, the first black Secretary of Defense.
He's a war criminal.
He is a definite affirmative action promotion.
His leadership is non-existent.
He is the most mediocre Secretary of Defense we've ever had.
And he has destroyed the greatest military power that ever existed.
They are mixing CS gas with smoke.
Obscure the Ukrainians attacking units.
Since the Ukrainians do not have enough artillery, they're mixing tear gas into the smoke to blind the Russian troops.
Yes, tear gas may not be used in war.
It can be used on civilians, but never, never permissible to be used on troops.
This is an agreement the whole world made, okay, prior to the smoke.
They released Agent BZ on Russian troops.
This is an illegal incapacitating gas that causes LSD-like effects.
It's against the law to use on troops.
It's illegal to be used on civilians.
There is no legal use for BZ.
A lot of people aren't even very familiar with BZ, Agent BZ.
There was a movie, okay, Rents, I don't know much about BZ.
Well, BZ is an incapacitating agent.
It's actually like a very powerful hallucinogenic.
That's 48 to 72 hours.
There was a movie years ago called Jacob's Ladder with Tim Robbins talking about Agent BZ.
Rents, how long does it last?
24 to 48 hours, that's a long time, Henderson.
48 to 72.
Yes, well, it's meant to incapacitate troops long enough for you to do what you want to do, you know, Rance.
Yes, go in and kill them.
Henderson, yes.
So where are they doing this?
They're doing it in the Zabrizar nuclear plant area, the general area where the Great Ukrainian Offensive is supposed to take place.
Why is this significant?
Because the United States wants to cover up their criminal use of chemical agents in a tactical nuke.
We'll destroy the evidence.
See, they're sticking their necks out with chemical warfare.
Just look at this.
It's like the world banned landmines.
But the world gives Ukraine landmines to use in Ukraine.
The world bans cluster munitions.
And then the West applies cluster munitions to Ukraine, okay?
The world bans chemical weapons.
And the United States is there using chemical weapons on civilians and soldiers in Ukraine in war, rent, nuclear weapons as well.
D.U.
is a nuclear weapon, so there is another, Henderson and D.U.
The British sent a bunch of TU over there, and the Russian probably blew it up.
And when they blew it up, there was a lot of fallout going downrange and stuff.
Some of that may be overblown, how much they say, oh, there is gamma radiation and stuff.
Listen, depleted uranium is uranium with all the most radioactive isotopes haven't been taken out.
Even the explosion of depleted uranium rods looks like nuclear explosion almost, you know?
There's a mushroom cloud at Free Awesome!
So keep in mind all the cheating and violating international law NATO is doing.
Supplying Ukraine depleted uranium robs, giving Ukraine cluster bombs to use, supplying Ukraine with landmines.
When nations do this, they are very guilty.
They must win the war or they could go to prison or be executed.
So they're going to be very—this shows they're very committed to this war with Russia.
Because they're pulling out all the stops, doing every dirty, filthy thing they can.
They don't care about humanity.
They don't care about decency.
They don't care about anything.
So I had to research whether we would use nasty weapons.
Yes, we fully intend to.
The U.S.
Army labs in Ukraine are preparing to unleash biological weapons to kill Russians and not accept credit for it.
They will begin to use more deadly nuclear weapons that can persist for centuries, making areas unlivable.
We want to use a falsified tactical nuke at the Zaburaya nuclear power plant so it will spread all over the radioactive material eastward over into Russia.
We will deny any such action, just as we denied blowing up the Nord Stream Pipeline, just as we denied trying to assassinate President Putin, The American public may not know many of this, but the Russians do.
I can personally attest to the fact that Russian radio-electronic warfare is more advanced than ours.
How do I know?
Because I read our military intelligence, and I read what they discovered in their military intelligence, and it matched, okay?
So the real enemy of the United States government is in Russia.
The real enemy of the United States government is the people of the United States.
That's incredible.
They are the enemy of the government.
The government hates you, and the government will deal with you, okay?
So, the best thing we can do is make it as public as possible so maybe someone will have enough sense to pull the plug on the suicidal strategy.
We have to let people know that if a nuke goes off in Ukraine, it is America who set it off, not Russia, okay?
The more that's repeated, the less likely you are to do this stupid, stupid, stupid foolish thing that's going to get all of us killed.
We are fighting for our lives, too, people.
Russia is not our enemy.
China is not our enemy.
Iran is not our enemy.
North Korea is not our enemy.
Those countries don't have anything to say about what you do, as a matter of fact.
You can even go travel to these countries, and they'll not give you a bad time, okay?
So your only enemy is the government of the United States.
It's the only enemy the American people have.
The only real enemy we have.
So Ukraine just simply is not worth the blood of a single American soldier.
Not worth my children's lives, nor my grandchildren's lives.
But Joe Biden wants to kill us all for the sake of Ukraine, for his power, for his personal power.
That is why he would kill us all.
Breaking news!
Ukrainian forces have entered Russia.
Heavy battles in Shebinko.
You see its location here.
Footage from Shebingo.
The governor of the Belgrade reason said Shebingo has been shell.
Old center of the city was covered.
Burned out cars, damaged homes.
Old city is still.
It's still coming at us.
We haven't slept for several nights.
People are leaving the city in their cars.
The city has been bombed very heavily.
We were very angry, we went out with some packets.
And this is the situation, probably, for many residents.
Red Rockets are working on Shebenko.
Red Shebenko on the ground under Ukrainian grads, meaning Rockets.
They come one after another.
The Freedom of Russia Legion claimed that they had covered a police building with grads in Shebenko during the raid.
So what's going on here?
Russian defense ministry claim the participants of the raid have been pushed back and that they did not cross the border.
So what's going on here?
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, the theme for today's show is really that the enemy of the people is the U.S. government.
government, and that is true.
As a retired social studies teacher, literally having to grasp the entire recorded history to be able to present that information to our children, it's not just the government.
You also have to have what is used for the media and education, because you have to tell people this is all good.
You have to control what is used for money, because you've got to pay a lot of minions and enrich yourselves.
And the status that we have, as far as I can tell, is that every major agency in the US, I'll just keep it to there, but is captured by the enemy propagandizing for this total control and authoritarian government.
And we can tell that because no agency responds with the truth.
The status.
Is that the empire, the American empire, this global reaching empire kind of centered in the US, the UK and NATO is being exposed in an unprecedented degree and the possibilities for what is coming is on a spectrum.
On one end of the spectrum is the total victory for the good, the exposure of the evil.
Unleashment of suppression of technologies and this movement into the Star Trek like future and on the other side of the spectrum is that our opponents are going to be successful at devolving us with force and fraud into chaos for another culling and another great reset apparently or according to mythology of Native Americans the fourth time of that human beings have been culled and reset and
The name of the game seems to be to fully enslave and stupefy human beings as work animals for this predator elite class who are psychopaths.
Now, regarding the claims in the article that the U.S.
has been violating treaties for use of weapons, yeah, that happens all the time.
Here at BitChute, I will put into the show notes a 40-page white paper that Congressman Kucinich leveraged in the impeachment efforts of Bush and Cheney that documents, among other official lies and crimes, nine treaties being violated.
And the use of depleted uranium, the targeting of hospitals, water treatment plants, and this goes back a couple of hundred years that the U.S.
just violates treaties at will in order to control resources, both natural and human.
Regarding the escalation of an attack within the Russian borders, Yeah, sure.
I mean, it is war, and that is going to happen, and the opponent is going to look for areas.
Now, the theme of the article of an escalation for a false flag nuclear attack, oh, yeah, as we've been saying for, I don't know, a couple years now, Is that our opponents cannot lose.
They will not lose if they have the power.
They will have everybody lose.
And I think that that has been part of the threat that the deep state has up to now successfully enacted.
But where we go from here is that.
Again, as we've been saying for a couple of years, we're in the fog of war.
It's really impossible to determine what is really happening.
But what is entirely possible and entirely within everybody's control is to sharpen up the tools that we for sure have, which is what we think and what we say and what we do.
Brian, your thoughts?
We, the people, have been fighting back the best we can by exposing the truth.
In all areas of the world.
And when I say we the people, I don't just simply mean Americans, but many governments are against their people.
Many governments have used the same template that they've used to control the population of the United States of America and take over different agencies in other governments.
Look at what's happened in Canada.
You know, our closest neighbor up there.
Look at what's happened down in Mexico with the cartels.
Where are the heroes?
The heroes are the ones that get out there and tell the truth.
The mainstream media will not tell the truth.
The mainstream media will lie and obfuscate and stupefy and continue to stupefy the American public.
The great heroes are the ones that are willing to study and put out the truth.
Now, In America, if you look at how we were captured, most recent historical events, I'm going to say it's the formation of the Senior Executive Service.
This service has been covered a lot more by the folks over at American Intelligence Media, but it's a brilliant plan.
to make everybody go through these training courses in order to lead these government agencies so that they can hand pick their puppets in each different government agency.
I don't believe that there are many heroes left in the FBI.
I don't believe that there are many heroes left.
I think they've been purged from our police forces, maybe not from our sheriff's offices, but definitely from our urban police forces.
And I don't think that these people have any problem.
And I mean the people above the bureaucrats, the people that pick who's going to be a part of the senior executive service.
Those are the real enemies.
And they're doing everything they can to create a buffer system.
And they're showing their cards in terms of they are willing to go to whatever link using chemical weapons, biological weapons, psychological weapons, whatever warfare they possibly can in order to hold and maintain their position.
Fortunately, All of these people will face justice.
It may not be in this world.
It may not be in this life.
But I'll tell you what, there's going to be a lot of people on the sidelines watching when that happens, and it's going to get ugly.
It's going to be very ugly.
Lots of people are going to be clapping for what happens to those people.
They're going to get all they're going to get from this world.
But when that clock runs out for these people, it's going to get ugly.
I promise you.
I think you're right.
Meanwhile, wow.
Stunned John Kirby stammers out in denial and leaves a podium after a White House reporter details Joe Biden bribe allegations and whistleblower charges, asks about majority of American believing Biden is corrupt.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was stunned by a reporters question at Wednesday's briefing, mentioning a bribery allegation against Joe Biden, along with his involvement in the Biden family's international business dealings and whistleblower charges of interference in investigations, followed with a request to comment on a recent poll Showing a majority of Americans believe Joe Biden is corrupt.
Kirby let out a shocked wow, and then stood in stunned silence for several seconds, like asking if Jesus could be heard in the room.
The man off camera volunteered to take the question for Kirby, but White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told him no.
After gathering his thoughts, Kirby stammered out a brief denial on Biden's behalf and referred the part about a whistleblower to the FBI before leaving the podium.
The bold questioner was New York Post reporter Steve Nelson.
Carrie Bond tweets, Kirby is now on the record denying any wrongdoing by the Biden crime family and then leaves the podium.
Video Clip Focused on Kirby Shows How Annoyed He Was Getting As Lengthy A Question As Was Posed By Nelson.
RNC Research Tweet What Do You Say To The Majority Of Americans Who Believe The President Himself Is Corrupt?
Biden Spokesman John Kirby Wow!
The President Spoke Into This And There's Nothing To These Claims.
Nelson, there have been many developments in the House investigation into the First Family's international business dealings recently.
There's one committee trying to get an FBI file alleging that President Biden took bribes.
There's another IRS whistleblower who's alleging there's a cover-up in the investigation.
Amid all this, there was a Harvard-Harris poll this month that found 53% of the public, including a fourth of the Democrats, believe Joe Biden was involved with his son in an illegal influence peddling scheme.
There is, of course, evidence A president interacted with his relatives, associates from China, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine.
So what do you say to the majority of Americans who believe that the president is himself corrupt Kirby?
Wow.
Six second pause.
The President has spoken to this on.
The President has spoken to this on.
There's nothing to these claims.
And as for the whistleblower issue that you talked about and the document, I believe the FBI has spoken to that.
And you'll have to go to them on that.
Jean Pierre.
All right.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Kirby walks away.
From what you know, do you think Joe Biden was involved with his son in an influent peddling scheme?
When he was vice president, do you think this is not the case?
The Harvard Harris Poll taken in May asked, 53%, Joe Biden was involved.
47%, Joe Biden was not involved.
79% are Republicans, 25% are Democrats, 58% of independents said Joe Biden was involved in corruption.
For those old enough to remember, this is how Watergate played out.
Whistleblowers came forward, allegation of crimes and cover-up by the president, his administration were made over and over time, more direct questions about corruption were asked of an annoyed White House spokesman.
Carl, your thoughts?
John Kirby, he's one of my favorite spokespersons.
I covered him a couple of times when he was with the State Department when I was writing at Washington's blog sometime from 2017 and before.
And just a little vignette that I remember that I covered, it was another press conference and Kirby was making factual claims of what the Russians were doing somewhere.
A reporter asked, what's your evidence for those claims?
And Kirby responded, it's not my job to carry water for the Russians.
And the reporter said, no, but you're saying this happened.
And Kirby was caught and he responded with, if you prefer, you can get your information from the Russians, but the rest of us will get it from here.
And it's just blatant arrogance.
So it is funny.
It is falling apart.
And if you can imagine, so I framed this for almost 10 years as an Emperor's New Clothes situation, and in the story, the fairy tale, The Emperor's New Clothes, I mean, the emperor is parading naked in front of everybody, but they've been mind-controlled to, under the narrative, that if you can't see these clothes, then you're unfit for your position, or stupid.
So, the children are pointing, because they don't understand that, they don't care, they don't remember, and the Charade.
The farce ends in a moment.
And that's what's going to happen here.
This thing is going to fall like it's going to happen fast.
And we keep saying we're on the end.
Or I keep saying that we're at the end game and we are at the end game and it hasn't happened yet.
And this is what we're looking at.
I don't know how much longer this can go on.
Ryan.
Well, what is power?
It's power to break the law.
And our Department of Justice is supposed to be blinded, holding scales and deciding who has broken the law and who hasn't.
The problem is that they're basing their determinations about who has broken the law based on personal preference and policy and politics.
It's ridiculous.
Joe, look, we all know What Hunter Biden was involved in, the laptop information has largely been released to the general public.
We all know the history, the sordid history behind that.
We all know Joe Biden has been out there for years, muscling prosecutors in Ukraine.
Muscling around with China, threatening people, coercing, menacing, using governmental agencies to help do his dirty work.
And those government agencies have dug graves so deep and now they just can't fall in.
So I do expect them to continue to lash out at the truth tellers that remain in the community.
I do see John Kirby as nothing more than a puppet.
I see Joe Biden as nothing more than a puppet.
What we should really be upset about is the cabal of globalists that are pulling the strings, putting these people into position.
That's who we need to be after, and guys like Joaquin Hagopian and other writers that sort of specialize in this global elite cabal.
Man, those are the Those are great heroes.
Those are people that ought to be risen up in society and risen up in the media, but instead the mainstream media attacks, discredits, destroys, throws straw man arguments at all of us.
We all know what's happening and we all know who's to blame.
It doesn't surprise me that this event took place with John Kirby, not one bit.
And we're going to continue to see it because they're getting closer and closer and closer to falling into the pit as the internet gets wider and wider and wider and podcasts like this cannot be controlled by their structures and their systems.
They're doing everything they can to silence And let us hope it's not too little too late.
I believe that people are waking up.
now beginning to listen to an alternative media, an alternative narrative, and it's getting out of their control.
And let us hope it's not too little too late.
I believe that people are waking up.
Meanwhile, LGBTQ activists call for new strategies to promote equality after target backlashes.
It's not really equality they want.
It's deference.
It's obeisance.
It's yielding to their effort to corrupt America.
Richmond.
Following Target's announcement that it removed products and relocated pride displays to the back of certain stores, activists in the LGBTQ plus community are calling for new campaigns to convince corporate leaders not to cave to anti-LGBTQ plus groups.
We need a strategy on how to deal with corporations that are experiencing enormous pressure to throw LGBTQ people under the bus.
Said California Senator Scott Weiner, Democrat of San Francisco, a member of the LGBTQ Legislative Caucus.
We need to send a clear message to corporate America that if you're our ally, if you are truly our ally, you need to be our ally not just when it's easy, but also when it's hard.
While the retailer said its action would aim to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees after protesters knocked over pride signs in front of workers in stores, the controversy comes at a time when conflict over LGBTQ plus rights is simmering.
The hostile environment has prompted some groups to hire security consultants to advise him on activities planned for Pride Month, which began yesterday.
We are forced to think differently about how we handle security at our events, whether or not we can post our staff's names and emails on our website, said Jason Wu, executive director of GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders.
Deborah Porta, Executive Director of Pride Northwest in Portland, Oregon, said there have been discussions about a possible boycott, a letter-writing campaign, and other action directed at Target, but plans for organized protests have yet to materialize.
Because the news is fairly new, more action may be announced, especially as Pride Month gets here.
Target isn't the only company grappling with public criticism.
Bud Light is still dealing with fallout from its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan McIlveny.
And where did they come up with this?
Influencer label.
That's a novelty.
Who in April posted a picture on Instagram of a beer can with her face on it.
Much more than was the whole video clip, which is simply ridiculous.
In response to the hate-filled and transphobic backlash that followed, the company said it never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people, but did not directly address the rhetoric or signal clear support for Milvaney.
I'd like to hear comedy announcer Bush is tripling its U.S.
market spending this summer as it tries to restore lost sales.
Good luck with that.
In early May, several gay bars in Chicago stopped selling Anheuser-Busch products to protest the company's response.
Chicago's Two Bears Tavern said that the company's response shows how little Anheuser-Busch cares about the LGBTQIA plus community, and in particular transgender people, who have been under unrelenting attack in this country.
Since Anheuser-Busch will not support us, we will not support it.
Sidetrack.
The largest gay bar in the Midwest did the same.
St.
Anheuser-Busch wrongfully validates the position that it's acceptable to acquiesce to the demands of those who do not support the trans community and wish to erase LGBTQ plus visibility.
In Florida, Disney's engaged in a legal battle with Governor Ron DeSantis since the company expressed its opposition to the state's classroom limits on discussing gender identity and sexual orientation.
And the Los Angeles Dodgers announced last week that a satirical LGBTQ plus group called Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will again be welcome at the team's annual Pride Night Nearly a week after the team rescinded its original invitation, signed backlash from conservative Roman Catholics and politicians who accused the group of mocking the Christian faith.
Now's not the time to back down, said Brian Bowen, executive director of PFLAG, an organization founded in 1973 to advocate for LGBTQ plus people and their families.
I think both business and as citizens need to look within ourselves into new strategies.
The old models aren't necessarily working.
Some people remain concerned about the impact the Target Pride display on children, said Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation of Virginia, a conservative faith-based organization in Richmond.
Target is paying the price for telling the kids to be discontent with their bodies, putting ideology ahead of the interests of investors, and creating a hostile store environment for parents with children.
A Richmond Target store pride merchandise was prominently displayed at the front of the story on Sunday.
Brendan Alston, a 75-year-old retiree, said she bought a pair of rainbow sandals to show support for the LGBTQ plus community and for Target.
If you come in the store and this is not what you support, keep on walking.
Get what you need in another part of the store.
Who are you to tell me what to buy and what Target should offer to their customers?
Still, some see the hostility toward Target and other retailers as just the latest obstacle in a decades-long struggle for equality.
To me, this is a sign that we're winning, said Derek Mize, a gay attorney who lives in an Atlanta suburb with his husband and two children.
I think that these children moaning about our visibility are the last breaths of a dying prejudice.
Society is changing, and most people are not concerned about Target selling an LGBTQ shirt.
Parl, your thoughts?
Muted.
Sorry.
Thanks.
So the story is from AP and that means it's going to be propaganda.
What they're trying to do is they're trying to cover for this.
political agenda to normalize this topic.
And what they're really covering up is the rejection of the American people of policies.
Policies like, we don't want gay sex books for children in school libraries.
We don't want that.
We don't even want the lie that you have to force people to use pronouns.
Nah, nah, it's biological.
Sex.
We don't want the genital and chemical mutilation of our children.
And some people might be confused by that.
Well, what if the parents want it?
Well, my personal position, and this is from being a GSA advisor, the Gay-Straight Alliance at high school.
Gay students asked me to be their advisor to protect them, and I agreed, and we did protect them.
The next school dance, they were out there with their same-sex couples if they wanted to, and they could.
And they were protected by the about a third of the school football team publicly said that they would protect them.
So that ended any of that.
The idea to let our children be manipulated like this after what we see in context for what we see in context for the general.
Poisoning and torture of our children through injections and through what we call food?
Nah, my personal position is just demand their arrest and get them out there.
Don't play for any of their games.
For Bud Light and Target, it's free market, baby.
So, you know, if they want to go ahead and market that and see how they do, Okay.
And I think we need to also emphasize the lie in the article from AP is that as far as I can tell, what we're looking at is tremendous violence from the trans dudes who are beating people up.
Riley Gaines made a speech, I believe it was at Stanford, and she was physically assaulted.
And then she had to hide in the back of that closed building to avoid threats of violence.
That is what's really being rejected, and corporate media is doing what they always do, is to spin this in virtue signal while they're pushing a political agenda that specifically targets and attacks our most valuable asset, our children.
Indeed, Brian.
Well, it feels to me like this tiny group of... Lost your sound, Brian.
This is a culture war.
A wicked and depraved generation to another wicked and depraved generation.
We're made man and we're made woman.
It's as simple as that.
And all these other things in between are deviations.
They used to be in the Your sound is lost, Brian.
It's very faint.
Very faint.
I'm sorry.
Just go ahead and skip me.
No, no, no.
I want to get your comments.
Just go ahead.
It used to be that these abnormal behaviors were categorized as a deviancy in the DSM-IV.
When the DSM-V came out, they removed those deviancies.
There was a psychological deviancy that was recognized for years and years and years in this nation, and it's just simply because American people and Western culture recognized that we are man and we are woman.
Man and woman comes together and makes a child.
Children become a family, and a family becomes a strong unit of our society, a strong thread in the fabric of our society.
I think the battle here Yes.
to break down the culture, break down the identity, so that you can inevitably enslave and destroy resistance.
Yes.
Meanwhile, my name says sign on to the UN Global Gun Registration Treaty.
That was the headline in the Washington Examiner shortly after Biden's State Department told international bureaucrats the continuing commitment of the U.S.
to the U.N.' 's Small Arms Treaty during the Gun Control Conference of State Parties in Geneva.
Just a few weeks later, President Biden himself spoke before the United Nations in New York, stating, We'll continue to uphold the long-standing rules and norm bedrock amendments, like support for arms control measures, to reduce the risk and enhance transparency.
Fellow patriot, anyone hoping President Biden wouldn't use his bully bull but to ram the U.N.
Small Arms Treaty down the throats of Americans just had those hopes crushed.
The battle over implementation of the U.N.
Small Arms Treaty, the crown jewel in the gun-grabber designs for the globe, is about to reach a fever pitch.
From the beginning, gun-grabbers have claimed the purpose of the treaty is keeping arms out of the hands of terrorists, insurgents, rogue states, and gang members.
But at the very time, the admin was pledging their support for the Small Arms Treaty.
They're leaving $83 billion in U.S.
military weaponry to the Taliban.
They don't care about keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists.
They care about keeping guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans.
Reading through the details of the U.N.
Small Arms Treaty, it's hard to see how our Second Amendment could survive if it were ratified.
For starters, the text demands the U.S.
identify end-users, gun buyers, document the quantity, value, model, type of firearms and ammunition, and develop national control standards to regulate transfers.
Once a nation signs on, the U.N.
goal is to quickly impose international small-arm control standards.
Introductory language already includes mandated national screening for those seeking to own guns, giving bureaucrats the final say in whether or not you're competent enough to own a firearm, restrictive licensing for gun and ammo sale, perhaps even banning anything from semi-auto rifles to shotguns and handguns.
Restrictions on the number of guns, the amount of ammo any properly licensed individual may legally own, bans on magazines holding more than 10 rounds, and bans on owning a firearm for self-defense, unless a citizen can somehow get government approval, which will only happen if you're connected, or paid half a million dollars for one of Hunter Biden's paintings.
As soon as the gun grabbers have 67 votes to ratify the treaty in the Senate, you can bet Biden pal Senator Chuck Schumer will call for the vote.
But we can't wait until then to fight back.
Even now, one-world bureaucrats are driving these gun controls deep into every part of government.
On top of Biden's ATF anti-gun executive action, a headline from The Hill shows Democrats' latest backdoor plan to limit gun ownership involves new State Department sanctions designed to drive the mass of ammo by banning imports.
That's the same State Department which NAGR caught red-handed trying to siphon your tax dollars into funding the U.N.' 's small arms treaty.
Worse, Since day one of the COVID outbreak, our court system has said yes to almost any politician cooking up any unconstitutional idea, so long as it's under the guise of public health.
So now Biden's Center for Disease Control is publishing a new Eurocentric gun control framework that says using a public health approach is essential to addressing firearm violence and keeping people safe and healthy.
That's why insisting that Euro senators oppose the ratification of the U.N.
small arm treaty is not enough.
We must insist the U.S.
Senate ensure not one taxpayer cent is spent by Biden on implementing any part of this treaty or what it stands for.
I'm counting on your help to send a message before it's too late.
Sign your official firearm sovereignty survey.
Tell your senator no U.N.
gun ban at once.
Carl, your thoughts?
We're back to this theme that it is the U.S.
leadership who are the enemy of the people.
And they're the enemy of the people through empire.
They're evil.
And the definition of evil that I like the best is just a preference for material benefit to oneself above the well-being of others.
So they're selfish.
And they see other people as things to use as resources in order to dominate and to get more advantage to themselves.
Of course, evil never has enough.
They have no connection.
So they're all lost.
Yeah, of course, they want to have a database of who has the guns, because they want to be able to have a reason to pressure them and confiscate them at some point in the future.
And as usual with this, the response that I recommend is just to flip the script and do a reversal on these people.
And that, oh, you want to save people's lives, do you?
All right, well, it's the U.S.
empire that has illegally attacked and invaded other countries since World War II and killed about 30 million people with over 200 armed invasions, and I'll leave that documentation of the U.S.
A teacher, you know, you got to give a classification of that type of government, and I think the best label for the type of government the U.S.
has is a rogue state empire.
And Brian said it's really everybody.
So go to the U.K., France, Germany.
These are the people who lied their ways into two world wars, and that killed about 100 million between those.
And we have an article today saying that the total U.S.
body count is about 300 million.
So if you care about human lives, don't listen to the psychopaths.
And again, all the tools that we have is what we think and what we say and what we do.
And that's in an environment.
Historically, I've shared with 46 years working for the Great Awakening, only about 2% of human beings in my experience can engage in these tough factual conversations, but.
We are hopeful that today, maybe there's a lot more underneath the surface, because my neighbors, the people I talk to, just casually, they are more and more in the camp of seeing that what's going on is actually criminal.
So hopefully, with the polling data that we're seeing, such as more than 53% of the American people on a Rasmussen poll said that the corporate media, quote unquote, is truly the enemy of the people, Maybe we're ready for a breakthrough, but wow, it is as tense as it has ever been in terms of the status of planet Earth.
Brian.
I think it was the 4th of July last year.
Is there any way you could adjust back to the way you were earlier?
We could hear you clearly, but of late, not.
Okay, hold on.
Is that better?
Yeah.
Okay.
I think it was the 4th of July last year when the Georgia Guidestones were blown up and demolished and removed within 24 hours.
The Georgia Guidestones indicated that there is some elite core of people that want to maintain the world's population at 500 million.
Well, that means that there's a lot of people that have to go down, and in order for those people to go down, you have to weaken them.
And of course, taking away their guns is the main act of weakening people.
Take a look at how subservient the Chinese society is to their communist overlords as a result of not having any means other than their words to fight back.
I believe that they want to continue to weaken us both culturally, LGBTQ, crime, other ways, economically, crash the dollar, hyperinflation, Sickness-wise, unhealthy food, bad pharmaceuticals, poor education.
I believe they're trying to weaken us in so many different ways to get our society so weak, brainwashed, and unable to fight back using normal words,
voting patterns and such to change society if they can weaken us to that level then there's nothing that keeps them or prevents them from executing a false flag on the population which results in perhaps millions if not billions of deaths worldwide just just consider that the Chinese people because there is no guns it's just like Australia it's just like New Zealand once they got them to give up their guns
They became totally subservient to the government overlords that came in and decided who needs to be re-educated, who needs to go to a COVID camp, who needs to be separated from society, who needs to have their social credit score downgraded to the point that they can't travel anymore or even purchase groceries to keep their families fed.
This global cabal has to be ended and the only way it's going to end is by visibility.
Men like us, shows like us, people that are out there doing this, making this more visible, this is the real threat.
I'm surprised that they haven't come after us any harder than they've already come after us.
Yes, yes, yes.
Very good, very good, very good.
Meanwhile, check this out.
People are shocked that Chick-fil-A went woke by adopting D-E-I-N-I-Y policies.
It shouldn't shock you because their views have been this way for a few years.
I don't know about you all, but I'm sick and tired of it.
Stand up for yourself against anti-white hate campaign that's taking place because nobody else is going to do it for you.
How it started versus how it's going.
Daily Mail published back on 21 June 2020.
Chick-fil-A CEO makes bizarre plea for white people to repent for racism by shining a black stranger's shoes after a dozen of his stores were vandalized during George Floyd and Rayshard Brooke protests.
Wow!
Now, 30 May 2023.
Chick-fil-A's woke pledge to embed diversity in everything we do resurfaces online.
Angry fans of the Christian pounded chain after Bud Light and Target LGBTQ scandals.
I don't think it's going to go any better for Chick-fil-A than it has for Target and Bud Light.
Meanwhile, when race trumps merit, this is Neil Kurtzman, a very important book.
Heather MacDonald's latest book is subtitles.
How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives.
It's such a tale of horrors that a number of alternative subtitles come to mind.
Animal Farm Redux, How I Came to Love Big Brother, A Litany of Lunacy, Forty Years Before the Mass, Gone With the Wind Were It Not Taken and Proscribed, A Confederacy of Dunces Also Taken, How the West Was All Undone, All daffy on the Western Front.
The Descent of Man is in the public domain.
Vanity Fair, also beyond copyright.
But knocking at the gate, you get the idea.
Ms.
MacDonald's book is close to a long suicide note.
Not for her, but for civilization.
Like Gaul, It's divided into three parts, bookended by an introduction and overview at the start and a few pages of conclusions at the end of the blood and gore that constitutes the three parts.
I intend no negative implication to her work, which is outstanding, but to her subject matter, which is a recitation of the cultural carnage littering society like the aftermath of a magnitude 9 earthquake.
And she's only reciting part of the saga that the casually educated elite is inflicting on the First World.
Her book is limited to reciting the disastrous effects that remedies forcibly administer to cure a disparate impact in science, the arts, and the law the three parts of the book have inflicted.
She doesn't touch on the other pathologies that are destroying children under the guise of gender affirmation, whilst demolishing free speech about sex and gender in general, or the deconstruction of language such that it is no longer a means of communication.
Or the fiscal wantonness that pervades the planet like a miasma.
If she had touched on these melancholy subjects, the reader would have joined Brunhilde at the end of the Ring Cycle.
So, take a double dose of Prozac and read McDonald's detailed description of societal immolation.
Disparate impact refers to the disproportionate representation of people of color in the important positions of American life.
These people, especially blacks, are thought to be underrepresented solely because of white privilege.
No other explanation is tolerated.
That blacks are underrepresented in the arts and sciences despite three decades of referential treatment might suggest that an explanation other than white privilege merits consideration.
Offering such a suggestion in today's toxic environment will result in the charge of racism, an accusation that will cause a typical recipient of the epithet to wilt like a potato vine after the first frost.
This reaction will be followed by groveling, and then a confession akin to those elicited at one of Stalin's show trials.
Ms.
McDonald appears utterly fearless and untouched by the diversity arrows that cow ordinary people.
She begins her declaration of reality by pointing out that despite all the preferential treatment granted to black students in STEM departments, there are still not enough such students or graduates to fill the self-imposed quotas embraced by universities and Silicon Valley companies.
These entities declare a goal impossible to meet.
But in today's fabulous world, reality has less substance than a sigh.
As blacks go lower on standardized tests, the response of academia is to eliminate those tests.
When they can't be eliminated, like the medical licensing exam, the tests have been moved to pass-fail, to remove any distinction of excellence, which would fall unwantedly on whites and Asians.
Now, one-third of black males have a felony conviction that 75% of all black births are out of wedlock are forbidden to add up when considering the reason for black under-representation.
MacDonald's book ends with 40 pages of reference to note which oppose or support her near-heretical views.
Medical schools, journals, professional organizations, and granting agencies were polaxed by the murder of George Floyd.
They have abandoned merit as if it were a rabid skunk.
Preferential admittance to medical school to Black and Hispanic applicants is now the rule.
Underperformance by Black and Hispanic residents is explained away by bias on the part of the evaluators.
A suggestion that minority resident positions with low evaluation were less good at their job than whites or Asians was met with, in fact, inappropriate for Dr. Mingaley.
McDonnell notes with directed irony, if preferences were not so key in engineering diversity, academic gatekeepers would not defend them as the only mechanism capable of producing diversity.
Virtually every medical journal, school, professional organization, granting agency, and certifying group has jumped off the diversity bridge.
Having a diversity requirement for cancer research—this is really happening—will not speed the fight against cancer.
Medicine is not an easy discipline.
Doctors who are hurled at the public with little regard for their competence will have a predictable effect on medical care.
Caveat emptor.
The rest of science has gone equally berserk as their medical counterparts.
Education in the U.S.
is bad enough.
Adding diversity to it rather than increasing better teaching or curing social pathologies will make it even worse.
Half of American adults can't read past the sixth grade level.
If the medical establishment has gone mad, the arts are even worse.
Of course, a bad performance of a Beethoven symphony will not kill anyone.
But the degradation of culture will have long-term effects that are pernicious in the extreme.
There's now a crusade against classical music and opera.
While musical organizations are desperate for funding, they are hiring diversity officers with six-figure salaries.
That there aren't many blacks in the symphony orchestras causes panic in administrators.
No one, not even McDonald, observes that American music is largely black.
There's no other field outside of athletics where blacks do so well.
Could it be that black musicians are just not that interested in symphonic music?
Regardless, diversity has metastasized so far as the standard blind audition behind a screen is under attack.
Beethoven is rewritten to accommodate today's war on Western civilization.
The conservatories are just as mad as the medical schools.
Almost no musician will speak on the record about the crazy stuff that permeates classical music and opera.
The latter is by nature an insane art, but that was just part of the creative process.
Today's race madness could finish off an already vulnerable art form.
Opera has been semi-blind in its casting.
Blacks can be whites, but whites cannot be blacks.
Porgy and Bess cannot be performed by white singers.
Bertie Zoffello can only be black when he's sung by a black tenor, otherwise he's white.
But now we are headed for color-conscious casting practices, which equates to a black person playing a white character as a black one.
L.A.
and museums are also on the chopping block.
L.A.
is gender-confused to incoherence.
Art is okay as long as it isn't western.
Read the book for gruesome details.
The final section of the volume is devoted to crime and law enforcement.
The average reader is probably up to speed on this issue, as it's on TV and in the newspapers on a daily basis.
Blacks make up a disproportionate influence on prisoners.
The elite have held this to be the result of white privilege or even supremacy, rather than the result of blacks committing a disproportionate number of criminal offenses.
Reducing law enforcement has increased crime, especially in black neighborhoods.
In 2020, 74% of shooting victims were black, while only 2% were white.
Crimes committed by whites on blacks will make the headlines, while the reverse is either not reported or relegated to the back of the book or dropped after a brief mention.
That black males between the ages of 14 and 17 commit lethal gun violence over ten times the rate of white and Hispanic teens combined is a verboten topic.
Many prosecutors tailor their charges to lessen disparate impact.
Anti-cop activists have now controlled public discourse to such an extent that 75% of blacks are convinced they're at greatest risk from white supremacy when they are most likely to be harmed by other blacks.
McDonald's last pages are a plea for saving meritocracy and Western civilization.
She doesn't offer a reassuring depiction of such a salvage job.
Those who agree with her are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs.
One cancer researcher anonymously said, the system will have to rot from within and be reinvented, which will take 50 to 100 years.
A few interesting observations.
The book was published by DW Books, an imprint of the Daily Wire, a conservative website.
I'm certain none of the conventional publishers would touch this book for fear of riot and cancellation.
The reaction of the antique media has been what is now routine when confronted with anything outside the narrow path of orthodoxy—silence.
I can find no review of When Raised, Trump's Merit, in any mainstream newspaper or magazine.
Essential reading for those brave enough to engage this subject, but alas, I suspect those who need to consider the issues the most will avoid the volume.
The truth cannot be hidden forever.
Sooner or later, often the latter, it will ooze out.
Carl, your thoughts?
Continuing with our theme that it is the U.S.
government that is the enemy, the article began with a reference to George Floyd.
See, what our opponents will do is they'll engage with false flag attacks to try to stampede the sheeple herd into directions that they want.
And we know George Floyd was, in fact, a false flag because there's photographic evidence of just the top portion of a plastic CPR dummy on a gurney where that half-body thingy is going to be put.
And that's all that you need to know is that we're being lied to.
And the whole history of the background and the lives of our government means that you don't have to fall for their current grime du jour.
So the idea that we have some sort of a slave society, well let's look back with what we're told about a slave society for black slaves in the United States, or even going back further to that for indentured servants, is that the population that owned that is primarily white.
Oh, and the top 1% of income earners, and today, the economic data that I'll provide here in the notes and pitch you, is that the top 1% of income earners now own 99% of the assets.
They own more than everybody else, so they're trying to corral, and again, they're never going to have enough.
They just won't.
They won't be happy until they've crushed, you know, everything.
And they're always going to virtue signal that they care about blacks or trans kids or whatever, while they're causing more and more chaos in order to consolidate more and more control.
And as usual, all you need to do is flip the script.
And again, it's the most dangerous threat if you care about people.
Then don't fall for their virtue signals about they care about blacks or BLM or trans kids.
Nah, they're the number one killers, as we've already gone over annually, killing millions, harming billions, and looting trillions.
And then what we really are inspired by is the idea of a meritocracy where we can have the strongest players on our teams.
And we ourselves can be the strongest players possible for the greatest contributions and the greatest movement forward.
That's what we want.
And the reason why some people think that that isn't somehow fair is because they've been through our public school system to stupefy them.
When we have victory, then our public school system will be recognized as lying.
And I'll put that article series that the documented lies of our public education.
If we got rid of that, then if we started educating our children, like we educate ourselves and like we educate our own kids.
Then what you're not going to do is put them in a classroom under fluorescent lights, have them sit at a desk and do puzzles on paper that you're just going to forget the material over.
And if you ask our children or just look back to your own experience and put a percentage of the education that was truly helpful and inspired to you, I think that would shift to like a real world approach of when you play a musical instrument or you play a sport or you build a garden.
Or you do a trade is that the chalk talk is going to be about 10% and then you got to get your hands on the thing so that you see how it works.
And then you actually have mathematics be an inspiring discipline where you create statistical measurements to upgrade performance by identifying what you should count.
So.
There is great possibility for this, but until we have this breakthrough where the evil can be clearly seen and removed, we are at risk to the evil being able to run over us and stampede us off a cliff.
Brian.
Every dollar that's made in the world is made because there is an asymmetry of information.
Somebody knows How to buy low and sell high, or they know how to buy products, create new products, and sell them for a profit.
The insurance companies know when people are likely to die based on certain factors.
The car dealership knows how to buy at an auction and sell to retail to the public.
It's all knowledge.
Everywhere you look, everything that mankind has built, Has been based on knowledge.
Knowledge that's applied properly to the truth of this world.
The color of your skin has nothing to do with your potential in this world.
Talk to any of the Chinese or Japanese or Asian or African immigrants that have come here and done well and been successful.
There is absolutely no reason why every person in the United States cannot be as successful as they want to be.
It comes down to having an appetite for information.
The problem that we have right now in society, and it's been developing for 80 years is that we love our entertainment industry instead of our educational platforms, our educational industry.
Parents are spending more time at work, they're doing too many two-parent Uh, workforces that are not raising the kids.
Kids are raising kids.
Teachers, we're asking teachers in the public school sectors to raise our children.
It's unfortunate and it's wrong.
The old version of the dynamic family with the father, the mother, the kids can be implemented no matter what color or race or creed you are.
But at the end of the day, A person will be successful if they want to be successful.
It has nothing to do with disparities in society.
If they want to be successful, they will take the time to go to the library.
They'll take the time to go to the classes.
They'll take the time to read the articles and the opinions and the books.
And they'll take the time to get to know whatever industry they want to be in.
Nobody is limited.
The color of your skin does not limit you or your ability in America, and that's what makes America great.
Unfortunately, this author is pointing out something that's become very, very sad about our society.
We no longer promote our students based on merit.
Now we're promoting them based on other attributes such as skin color or such as eye color, male, female.
It's sad, and it's wrong.
And again, I believe that the agenda to do this is pure, downright evil, and it's all about suppression and continuing to enslave a society.
I think you're both spot on.
Yeah, Carl.
So jumping on that with Brian as well, the idea of a meritocracy is inspiring, and anything that's real that we do, we want to get better at.
And if we're passionate about that, then we're inspired by the improvement.
And if you're on a team of people producing something, then you are inspired by the top performers, and you ask questions like, how are you doing that?
In education, we are taught, and it resonates true with us, that we learn from those who model behaviors and actions that we're attracted to.
So the idea of meritocracy is where it's at, and if we can get that straightened out, then Boom!
We will be on a synergetic path, and people will be excited to learn things from each other, and people will be excited to put in the work, as Brian was talking about, going to the library or whatever, to get good at something, to have something to offer that will be naturally inspiring.
I'm not at all sure we're capable of it any longer.
Meanwhile, U.S.
Empire named most murderous killing machine in history, no doubt about it.
Jeremy Kutsmarov reviews another book.
New study finds U.S.
responsible for nearly 300 million deaths and counting.
In September, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, established by a bipartisan act at Congress in 1993, opened the Victims of Communism Museum in Washington, D.C., which aims to spotlight the plight of the alleged 100 million victims of communist ideology.
The 100 million figure was derived from the 1997 book, The Black Book of Communism, published by Harvard University Press, which was replete with falsehoods.
The book blamed communist governments for famines that occurred on a more regular basis in capitalist countries and which had resulted from environmental causes, like the Ukraine famine of the 1930s.
Hello to more.
If the political culture in the U.S.
changes, someone might open a museum dedicated to the victims of capitalism or the U.S.
empire, whose death toll would be much greater than 100 million.
A new book by David Michael Smith, Endless Holocaust, Mass Deaths in the History of the United States Empire, New York, Monthly Review Press, 2023.
Estimated U.S.
Empires Responsible or Shared Responsibility for Close to 300 Million Deaths.
Smith writes, The almost inconceivable loss of life in these endless holocausts arguably makes this country exceptional, though in a strikingly different way than its apologists intend.
Exceptional in its violence and killing prowess, which is truly shameful.
The Indigenous People's Holocaust Smith estimates 13 million Indigenous people were killed in the Holocaust that resulted from the European colonization of North America.
Quoting from Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of An Indigenous People's History of the United States, Smith notes that the indigenous nations of the Western Hemisphere had built great civilization prior to the arrival of the white man, whose governments, commerce, arts and science, agriculture, technoid philosophies, and institutions were intricately developed, and in which human relations were more egalitarian than in Europe.
The European lust for wealth and dominance, however, led to math, death, and destruction.
Characteristic was the Pinnock War in Massachusetts, 1936-37, where smith nodes appeared in settlers, recruited native allies, and formed the first ranger forces to engage in wilderness warfare, where colonial officials began paying bounties for the scalps of native men, women, and children.
About 6,000 Wampanoag, Narragansett, and Nipmuc were killed, and New England's indigenous population declined from at least 70,000 in 1600 to 12,000 by the end of the 1600s.
1600 to 12,000 by the end of the 1600s.
African-American holocaust, the decline of the indigenous population in the Western hemisphere, forced the European colonizers of North America to begin importing captive people from Africa to labor for them.
Smith estimates approximately 25 million Africans were originally captured.
12.5 died between capture and embarkment from the slave ships that brought them to North America.
20 million more Africans are believed to have died in slave raids, raising the total that died because of the transatlantic slave trade to 32.5 million.
Of those who survived the Middle Passage, many more died from disease or from beating by the slave masters or by suicide.
According to Smith, almost 70% of those who survived the Middle Passage were no longer alive a decade and a half later.
Overall, he believes 41.5 million may have died because of slavery.
During Reconstruction after the U.S.
Civil War, freed slaves died from lynching and in prison after the imposition of black codes.
They were also killed by white mobs and race massacres, famously in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Black Wall Street was burned to the ground.
Smith estimates between the year 2000 and 2014, another 1 million excess deaths occurred among blacks because of racist police and criminal justice system and poor living conditions in the ghetto.
The workers holocaust.
Besides Native and Black American, vast numbers of laborers from diverse national backgrounds who have generated unprecedented wealth for the capitalist class have experienced harsh and deadly forms of exploitation in the United States.
Approximately 35,000 workers died on the job annually between 1880 and 1900.
700,000 for those two decades alone, as Congress refused to pass basic regulation to protect workers' rights.
A Cleveland citizen wrote that during the Gilded Age.
The U.S.
became an industrial slaughterhouse when workers rose up to protest war conditions in a Rockefeller-owned mine in Ludlow, Colorado, in 1914.
National Guard troops held 66 men, women, and children who were supporting the strike.
This was part of a large wave of anti-worker violence sanctioned by the U.S.
government that extended to the torture and lynching of industrial workers of the world.
Organizers who had the audacity to promote worker-controlled industry.
Overall, Smith believes 13.5 million workers have died in the U.S.
or outside working for U.S.
corporations from disease, sickness, or anti-labor massacres.
From colonial wars to global holocausts.
After securing its continental empire by the late 19th century, the U.S.
government overthrew the native monarchy in Hawaii and began establishing overseas colonies like in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines, which provided a beachhead into the Asia Pacific.
Up to a million Filipinos were killed, resisting U.S.
imperial intervention in the Spanish-American-Philippines War, which analysts described as America's first Vietnam.
Second and third Vietnams occurred in Nicaraguan Haiti, where the U.S.
Army slaughtered hundreds of natives, resisting the takeover of their country by U.S.
financial interests.
The U.S.
shared responsibility for the unprecedented global holocaust of World War I, supplying Britain and France with vital loans and sending U.S.
troops into the fray in April of 1917 in order to defeat a potential imperial challenger, Germany.
After the war was over, the Wilson administration deployed U.S.
troops into Soviet Russia to try to stamp out a Bolshevik revolution in alliance with counter-revolutionary forces.
When the Bolsheviks triumphed, the Wilson and Harding administrations provided substantial support for the invasion of Soviet Russia by Polish militarists.
In the 1930s, the U.S.
supported fascist dictatorship as a counterweight to communism, including those of Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco, and Adolf Hitler, whom the U.S.
charged their affairs in Berlin.
George Gordon, characterized in 1933 as a leader of the moderate section of the Nazi Party, which appealed to all civilized and reasonable people.
The U.S.
support for the Fascist Internationale exemplified its contribution to the origin of World War II, which was even worse in its destruction than was World War I. The U.S.
provoked the war in the Pacific theater because it could not tolerate the prospect of an ascendant Japanese empire that would threaten U.S.
hegemonic aspirations in Southeast Asia.
The Roosevelt administration responded to Japan's rise through a massive naval buildup in the South China Sea and imposition of an oil embargo on Japan, which was designed to promote the Pearl Harbor attacks because of Japan's dependence on imported oil.
And indeed, Stennett's book, Day of Deceit, documents this in spades.
Further, U.S.
troops committed a multitude of massacres, including at Nogun-ri, where several hundred civilians were killed after orders had been given to shoot at North Korean refugees who represent potential 5th columnists.
The Holocaust of Pax Americana Just five years after the end of World War II, the U.S.
was again at war in Korea, where it supported a government that slaughtered over 100,000 of its own people and carried out a bombing campaign that led to the death of about one-tenth of the North Korean population.
Further, U.S.
troops committed a multitude of massacres.
The Korean War was a prelude to further slaughter in Vietnam, where the mere gook rule applied, by which civilians were mowed down under the justification that they looked like they were Viet Cong, a euphemism for Vietnamese communists.
In 1965, the CIA backed a coup in Indonesia that resulted in the deaths of millions of alleged communists who were identified by lists provided to the Indonesian military by the CIA.
One person suspected of helping to identify names for the blacklist was Zan Dunham, Barack Obama's mother, who worked as an anthropologist in East Java, a communist stronghold.
The CIA backed more massacres in defeating left-wing rebels, the Hooks and the Philippines, and supported the murderous Operation Condor in South America.
The latter was modeled after the Phoenix Program in Vietnam, where the CIA prepared blacklists and worked with local police agents to arrest and kidnap dissidents and torture and often murder them.
The killing spree continues.
The killing sprees of the Cold War years continued in humanitarian interventions in the 1990s, as in the Balkans, Iraq, and Central Africa, during the Global War on Terror, where the U.S.
military perfected new killing techniques, like through the use of unmanned drones.
Millions of Muslims were killed in retaliation for the 9-11 terrorist attack, whose perpetrators to this day are not entirely clear.
Let me say, they are today.
9-11 was brought to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons, and the Department of Defense and the Mossad.
It was an Israeli op to draw American forces into the Middle East and take out the modern Arab states that served as a counterbalance to Israel's domination of the entire region and then to be deployed against a Persian nation of Iran.
Even under its supposedly liberal president, Barack Obama, the U.S.
bombed seven Muslim countries, escalated its troop presence in Afghanistan, established many new military bases in Africa, and engaged in regime change operations in several Latin American countries.
In his final chapter, Smith details a blowback associated with imperial pursuits such as the epidemic of mass shootings that has gripped the U.S.
over the past decade, the overwhelming majority of which, of course, are staged events.
Which was authorized and initiated by Barack Obama himself, especially by nullifying the Smith-Mudd Act of 1948 by means of the Smith-Mudd Modernization Act of 2012, just in time to bring us Sandy Hook.
Smith emphasizes the U.S.
is among the most violent societies in history, with disturbingly high homicide, police murder, and incarceration rates, and faces a threat of right-wing militias and terrorists.
I think the threat actually does not come from the right.
It comes from the left.
And those who advocate gun control systematically ignore that Americans use guns for defensive purposes millions of times every year, saving an estimated 200 lives annually, which greatly exceeds those lost to gun violence, a total of 70,000, over half of which are from suicide.
No end in sight.
With the exception of slavery and the genocide of Native Americans, the endless holocausts associated with the American empire are rarely discussed in high school or even college courses and are not very well known by the public, despite a rich scholarly literature about them.
This is because the public invented deadly diet of propaganda and bad revisionist history, like that advanced by the Victims of Communism Museum, which demonized left-wing ideologies and tried to validate the American way.
If more people knew the truth, a strong resistance movement to U.S.
imperialism might develop that could draw on the precedent of the early 20th century anti-imperialist league, supported even by luminaries such as Mark Twain.
Until that time, Smith predicts, the succession of catastrophes will continue, and its primacy erodes As its primacy arose, the U.S.
ruling class may act like a wounded beast and create heinous new crimes against the people of the world, including of this country, to maintain as much wealth and power as possible.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, back to the theme that it is the U.S.
government that is public enemy number one.
These Victims of Communism Museum, that's just perfect for what our empire does.
They're gonna virtue signal that, oh yeah, of course we care about the people, while murdering multiples of the hundred billion that they...
Complain about and as usual we got to flip the script on these people and to be able to see that the US is not it has abandoned what we promised and that's part of the problem with Americans to say with the what we understand from the fall of the Roman Empire is that many people are upholding the virtues that we do value we do value those virtues in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and the hard-working Veritas and work of the Romans but
In both cases, the general public has not noticed that those ideals have been captured, and instead, what we get as the article as talked about, and the whole reference for what we talk about for Need to Know News, instead we get forever wars, we get the bankster looting in the hundreds of trillions, and we have public education covering it up, and corporate media covering it up, and what
The reason that Americans can't grasp it or can't see it, or we hope that they are at least in the background, is because they went to public education and they read the textbooks.
And the article series that I provide as a public school teacher for 38 years does a great job to be able to explain, document, and prove from our own textbook that our children are being lied to.
And that comes straight from corporate media.
The lies to the adults goes into the school books for the kids to receive the lies.
And all we're going to get is leadership like Joe Biden saying how much they care about people as they're preparing for nuclear war.
Brian.
Well, all of those people that were murdered, destroyed, displaced by governments, They had one thing in common.
Poverty.
The slave trade started out of poverty.
People couldn't protect themselves from the stronger tribes who enslaved them.
Poverty is what makes a person a slave to this world in many, many circumstances.
And poverty in America doesn't come as a result of institutional racism.
It comes as a result of institutional ignorance.
Poverty is the problem that's going to destroy your family.
It's going to be the problem that destroys what happens to you, destroys your assets, your wealth.
It's poverty that we need to fight just as much as it is anything else out there.
Poverty is overcome through hard work and dedication, a little bit of luck maybe, and And being wise about how to apply your time and your energy.
Anybody can become less impoverished with a little bit of hard work and a little bit of understanding and knowledge and observational prowess in order to understand how to maintain themselves in society and how to bring a service We lost you there.
product to society even if you're an employee making nine dollars an hour as a janitor become the best that you can at that particular situation and get yourself out of poverty if you want the best way to hedge yourself in from predators we lost lost that last second brian where you said
even if you're a janitor the best you can to get yourself out of that situation that you're-- Right.
No matter where you are in this life, you can protect yourself from becoming a victim of crimes like the ones outlined in this article.
You can protect yourself by becoming less impoverished, by teaming up with your neighbors, by building a stronger, better culture, and be capable.
Right now, our government is out of control.
They're getting bigger and stronger every day.
That's not how our government was designed.
It wasn't designed that the federal government would have a budget of that size.
It wasn't designed that way.
It was designed so that we govern ourselves, we apply law and order equally.
It was designed In order to prevent the situation that we're currently in.
We need to know this, we need to understand this, and we need to fight our way out of it, one person at a time.
Very good, very good, very good.
Remember, we want to hear from you.

We turn to our final thoughts.
Carl, yours.
Well, it's the same as it has been, is that we're on the brink, as far as I can tell, and this could snap, break, drop any time, and there are so many vulnerable areas.
So, all I can say is that this is a test.
Not a public school test, but a real-life test, and the real-life tests happen the opposite way of school.
You go to school and your instructor will say a test is coming up, and then you study for it.
In real life, it's the other way.
Tests happen!
And then after you, however, you do on the test, then you got to decide how you want to prepare for similar another test.
So the philosophical, the religious, the political inspiration that guides human beings, this is the strongest test.
And the all I can say is that your choices are truth.
Or submission to people like John Kirby and the actor playing Joe Biden and propaganda Pierre and all you need to do is commit and this commitment of truth is going to move you forward and then you got to put in the work and.
And that's all that we have control over, and hence that's the limit of all we can do is point into this fog of war, encourage people, as Brian said, just one person at a time, and we're only responsible for the person sitting in our own chair, and that's all that we have.
And in whatever you can do to encourage other people with the empathy of realizing that this whole planet has been under attack, if it really is a planet, this whole realm, whatever this place is, has been under attack.
The people are poisoned.
They're tortured.
They're mind controlled.
This is at the breaking point.
It's, ooh, we need solid people right now.
And if the breakthrough moves towards the truth, we're going to be very valuable at that point.
If the breakthrough moves to chaos, then there isn't going to be anybody who's in a position to do anything at all.
So the idea of realizing your small part in the show and just doing the best you can with humility seems to be an appropriate position.
Brian, your final thoughts? - I'm reminded of a story in the Bible that Jesus told about a certain rich man and a certain poor man by the name of Lazarus.
I try to balance out what I just spoke as if being rich or having more money is going to somehow prevent you from becoming a victim.
It's not necessarily true.
Life has trials and life has tribulations and the judge is not the size of our bank account on the day that we die.
The judge is the state of our soul and the health of our soul.
And that to me is the most important thing.
In this world, but what's also important is making sure you're doing the best you can to protect yourself from the predators out there that don't believe in the judgment, or that don't believe in having any faith, or don't believe in a god, or a redemption, or a judgment.
We have to protect ourselves from those people, but we also have to maintain a balance and understand our role as a father and a mother, as a parent, as a child, All these roles, all these things need to be taught and built and educated into our society in order to rebuild this thing we call America, if it survives.
Well, thank you for the excellence of your comments and commentaries, Carl and Brian.
Simply excellent.
I believe this interview with Jeff Reyes Mitchell Henderson is profound in its implication for what's going on in Ukraine today and how it places the United States, indeed all of Western civilization, at risk.
The West has committed war crimes Landmines, chemical weapons, more, even nuclear devices.
They think Russia will not retaliate if they set off a false nuclear attack at the Zambrosia nuclear power plant, but Russia has made it very clear.
Once nuclear weapons are introduced, they will retaliate massively, massively.
There'll be no hesitation about it.
My fear is that this incursion into Russia is to be laying a predicate that could be claimed to be why Russia would nuke Zabrizaiya, which Russia contains, Russia controls, which makes no more sense than the idea of Russia destroying the Nord Stream Pipeline.
It was Russia's own pipeline.
But the American people of the West are endlessly gullible.
Our leaders are desperate.
I believe there is nothing they will not do if they believe it'll save their own skins.
They could care less about the American people or human beings planet-wise.
I'm therefore very pessimistic about what is about to unravel here.
This may well be the final gambit.
I therefore add Spend as much time as you can with your friends, your family, the people you love and care about.
We do not know how much time we have left.
