Well, this is Jim Petzer, your host on Authentic News, right here on RBM Live, this 20th day of December, 2023, simulcasting on Speak Free Radio.
Paul Craig Roberts has nailed it in his latest, The American Political Crisis, which is published on the UN's Review, and elsewhere, no doubt.
I'm telling you, this is a place to go for absolutely sensational, thoughtful articles.
The unz.com.
I cannot recommend it highly enough.
American politics is in crisis.
The evidence is overwhelming that Biden was not elected, but was put into the presidency via a stolen election.
And the evidence is overwhelming that Democrats in the Biden regime are attempting to prevent Trump from being returned to the presidency by trying to destroy him with four false felony trials and several civil lawsuits.
This is an unprecedented weaponization of law for political purposes akin to Stalin's purge trials of the Bolsheviks.
The ultimate consequence is unclear.
However, people are not fooled.
Trump remains a leading candidate for the presidency.
Trump received more votes on his re-election than he did when he was elected to his first term.
Biden His support was so weak that he did not campaign because the absence of people at his rallies was an embarrassment, was credited with more votes than any Democrat candidate in history, 10 million more than Obama, more than Hillary.
The Biden vote total indicates a high level of voter support of which no sign was seen.
There was no visible enthusiasm for Biden.
Yet he had an unprecedented vote total.
So we have in the Biden regime an illegitimate government.
It is not permissible to say so.
The media do not permit it.
Lawsuits, even arrest warrants.
People who say or provide evidence that the election was stolen.
In this way, those who stole the election use their control over law and prosecution to protect their theft.
The theft was not limited to the presidency.
It happened also to Republican representative senators and governors.
Let me add, 57 House seats appear to have been stolen as well as three or four Senate.
I mean, it was just outrageous.
Trump had eight years of false prosecutions—Russiagate, two illegitimate impeachment attempts, Documentsgate, Strybergate, S60 Gen 6 insurrection resulting in his indictment—by Democrat-controlled legal machinery in New York, Fulton County, Georgia, and the U.S.
Department of Justice.
Additionally, The Democrat State Attorney General in New York is attempting to steal Trump's real estate empire.
Other Democrat judges have ruled that Trump can be sued by anyone who claims to have been damaged by a Trump speech.
Trump has all this trouble and stress for two reasons alone.
He threatened the powerful military security complex by threatening to take away their enemy by normalizing relations with Russia.
And he threatened the ruling establishment, sometimes referred to as the Deep State, by declaring his intent to take power from them and give it back to the American people.
The purpose of this Punishment of Trump is to send loud and clear the message that any future president or presidential candidate who threatens in any way the ruling establishment will be destroyed.
It is necessary to understand that what has been occurring for decades in the United States, indeed throughout Western civilization, Is the erosion of the belief system that is the basis for the social, political, and moral order.
The West has been destroyed, not by communist spies or terrorists, but by its own intellectuals and educators, filmmakers, historians, university education, and now primary education explain Western civilization as a racist entity that exploits people of color.
This is now developed into the demonization of white people, especially white male heterosexual gentiles.
They're being eliminated from positions of power and influence, and replaced by women, people of color, and the sexually perverse.
Major corporations such as Apple, Starbucks, IBM, Even the U.S.
military have publicly announced that hirings and promotions for white males are on hold.
This is a violation of the Civil Rights Act and of the 14th Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution, but nothing is done about it.
In jurisdictions where Democrats control school boards, Critical race theory is used to teach the white kids that they and their parents are racist who owe restitution to blacks.
They are taught that they might have been born in the wrong body.
Transgender clinics have spread up in which young women's breasts are removed and young men are chemically castrated.
Parents attempt to interfere with the brainwashing of their children are being resisted.
It is necessary to understand that Congress and the President Are not accountable to the voters.
More important than voters is a campaign contribution that lead to elections.
The House and Senate and President are elected on the basis of large sums of money contributed by the rich and powerful financial and economic interests such as a military security complex, Wall Street.
The pharmaceutical energy, agribusiness, and other industries elected officials have to comply with the interests of those who provide the money, or next election the money goes to their opponents.
The Jewish billionaire George Soros uses his money to put in office aggressive partisan Democrat state attorneys general who target Republicans.
The result is the Republicans cannot defend Trump because the establishment doesn't want Trump defended.
It is necessary to understand that the U.S.
is not a nation.
It is a Tower of Babel.
Untold millions of immigrant invaders enter the country illegally every year, for year after year, and nothing can be done to stop the invasion.
The Democrats welcome the invasion as they have ways to add them to Democrat votes.
The Republican businesses welcome the invaders as they provide cheap labor and hold down U.S.
wages.
The two political parties serving their short-term interests are destroying America.
The immigrant invaders overwhelmed the school systems, medical facility, police and support systems of affected states and localities, making it difficult, if not impossible, I would add, to service the interests of their municipal bonds.
So, you see, it matters not how many votes this or that poll shows, this or that candidate has.
Trump is being prosecuted by Democrat prosecutors in courts, presided over by Democrat judges in jurisdictions where there are black Democrat juries.
Law is being used as a weapon to remove a president and presidential candidate perceived by the establishment to be a threat.
Trump will not be permitted to be president.
If he is not in prison, he will be assassinated.
Unless the establishment thinks it can control Trump by controlling his appointments and continuing to harass him.
Perhaps the establishment thinks that eight years of high stress on an elderly man has done its damage and a little more stress will finish Trump off.
On top of it all.
U.S.
living standards are falling, middle-class jobs are disappearing, and the middle class with them.
Many Americans work two or three part-time jobs with no pension or medical benefits.
After the Soviet collapse, U.S.
corporations began offshoring manufacturing jobs to China and Asia.
The Federal Reserve, the Central Bank, served the interests of the large banks at the expense of everyone else.
In short, The U.S.
has become a dysfunctional country.
But the foreign policy is still in the hands of the aggressive neoconservatives who still cling to their agenda of U.S.
hegemony, principally to contain Russia and China and to open the Middle East to Israeli expansion.
As I hope this makes clear, the U.S.
is unstable across the board.
The notion that an election can correct the situation is absurd.
Apart from that last sentence, I agree with every single thing Paul Craig Roberts has observed there.
I do believe if we can get Trump back in office, he can do a very great deal to fix the situation.
And when it comes to the aggressive neocon foreign policy, Joaquin Agobian has addressed Masonic Zionist prophecy fulfilled this week in the Middle East on my blog at jameshfetzer.org.
The genocidal Israeli regime and its warmongering, blow-dropping foot soldiers from the U.S., Austin Lloyd, On Monday, December 18, made yet another appearance with Bibi the Butcher Yahoo in Tel Aviv to announce the official launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian.
It's a multinational military initiative to counter the Yemeni Houthis' increased targeting of commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea.
Other nations participating in this massive joint military operation include Britain, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sicily, and Spain, as part of a 39-nation combined maritime force military campaign, ostensibly to maintain free navigation lanes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
This strategic operation involved moving the USS Eisenhower, the largest aircraft carrier strike force in the world, from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Aden, along the south coast of Yemen, for combat engagement against the Houthis, Austin stated.
Countries that seek to uphold the foundational principle of freedom of navigation must come together to tackle the challenge posed by this non-state actor launching ballistic missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles at merchant vessels from many nations lawfully transiting international water.
It appears More waste and folly, as the U.S.
has spent $5.4 billion on the Yemen conflict, only to now be faced with another war front opening up against rebel-resistant fighters, the Houthis.
We have to wonder, is this no different from Victoria Nuland, U.S.
State Department, dropping $5 billion on the illegal Ukraine coup a decade ago?
Doubt the democratically elected Putin ally planning the anti-Russian maid and neocon war seed to the end?
Wasting $111 more billion in today's losing cause?
For that matter, President Obama and General Austin secretly creating ISIS to justify keeping troops in the Middle East for new potential wars like this current one.
The evil done in our American name across the world is mind-boggling as premeditated failure.
My malevolent design follows the US government wherever it goes, all the while contributing to the globalist Luciferian deep state cabal.
These evildoers are cannibals, literally feeding off the blood of our innocence at the expense of the rest of humanity.
Those are two about as good statements as anything I've ever seen.
Meanwhile, The cost of fighting the Houthis in the Red Sea just went up.
The Pentagon is marshalling the new International Task Force to combat Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, and not a moment too soon, it would seem, as it has been expending millions of dollars in munitions to intercept the militant drones and missiles since October 7th.
This is from responsible statecraft.
But is it essentially expanding the target set for the Houthis, who are clearly bent on proving their own strength with, of course, Iranian backing and scoring political points against Israel?
Will this task force, named Operation Prosperity Guardian, bring the U.S.
one step closer to a regional war that will, in the end, cost America far more?
I have no doubt.
The Houthis, by the way, say they won't back down even if America were to mobilize the entire world against them.
Antiwar.com.
Yemen's Houthis responded to U.S.
launching a new military operation in the Red Sea by vowing attacks on commercial shipping in the region will continue Even if the U.S.
mobilizes the entire world.
The U.S.
launched a 10-nation naval task force, dubbed Operation Prosperity Guardian, after major shipping companies began pausing Red Sea transits due to the Houthi attacks.
Bahrain is the only Arab country to participate in the coalition.
No nations with coasts on the Red Sea have joined.
Even if America succeeds in mobilizing the entire world, our military operations will not stop, no matter the sacrifice it costs, as Mohammed al-Buchari, a senior member of the Houthis' Political Bureau, wrote on X. I love this.
I so admire the Houthis.
Absolutely sensational.
They, by the way, have agreed to Cease fire a settlement of a war with saudi arabia or saudi arabia keeps control of south yemen and the north is the north the oil is in the south but the houthis have not been aspiring to material gain they just wanted a democratic form of government.
And frankly, the Houthis are showing more courage, more integrity, more feistiness than all the other Arab countries combined, even including Turkey.
Erdogan has cut off gas and oil shipments to Israel.
They're going to find alternatives, no doubt.
But I cannot begin to say how much I admire the Houthis.
For their ongoing efforts, they deserve the highest praise.

West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Israel revises its estimated October 7th, told down from 1400 to 1147.
461 Israeli soldiers killed since October 7th, at least 1831 injured.
Actually, it looks as though the number is closer to 5,000 and that a lot of them have suffered debilitating injuries that will make it impossible for them to return to battle.
Key development.

The Patrick and Jeremy Show, Tuesday at 9 Central and Wednesday at 1 Central.
Charles de Gaulle once said, actually, it's difficult to envision in this regard any other criterion, any other standard than gold.
Yes, gold, which does not change in nature, which can be made into either bars, ingots, or coins, which has no nationality, and which is considered in all places and all times the immutable and fiduciary value par excellence.
So the question is, why gold?
It's simple, my friends.
The answer to that question is simply, why not?
Like it or not, precious metals will always be the world's reserve currency.
Even though nations do not define their currency by their worth in, say, gold, individuals still buy gold and silver to protect themselves from inflation.
The more money a nation's central bank pours into the economy, the less valuable its currency, the dollar is, which means the price of everything else rises.
$21 up for a bag of dog food.
Seeing that the dollar is cheap, that's why the cost of everything goes up.
It's because the buying power, the value of the dollar is tanked.
It's worth nothing.
And the gold that your family would have owned in 1907 will buy at least the same amount of goods, if not far more.
William McPhee once stated, Extraordinary how many emotional storms one may weather in safety if one is ballasted with ever so little gold.

Let's pick up some of what he has to say.
Do you know the three tips?
After we skip past.
These are the three tips I tell all of my arthritis.
Here we go.
This is with Judge Napolitano.
Larry Johnson joins us now.
Larry, always a pleasure, my dear friend.
Welcome back to the show.
You have written, I commend it to everybody that's interested in all of this, at your website, sonar21, S-O-N-A-R 21.com, a great piece called The End of Ukraine, in which you have outlined the seven or eight steps that have produced Ukraine to what's a perilous condition today.
Let's start at the end.
Then we'll go back and let you analyze these phases.
Is the war in Ukraine effectively over, Larry?
Based on articles from the New York Times, Washington Post over the last week, yes.
You know, they're starting, when the mainstream media starts reporting things that we've known about for 10, 15 months.
An example is that the New York Times has a piece about how Ukraine is snatching men off the streets.
Well, they've been doing that since a year ago, July.
And the New York Times is just now discovering this.
And the reason they're reporting it is they are preparing the American public, particularly those that read the New York Times and the Washington Post, to the fact that the war in Ukraine is lost and that Ukraine can no longer maintain its manpower.
And it's not just one story.
It's a cascade of stories that's coming out.
I think we're going to be seeing that more and more over the next two or three weeks.
Are these stories provoked by intelligence leaks intended to embarrass or cajole Joe Biden?
No, actually, I think that it's not so much a leak as you've got administration officials calling up these reporters saying, okay, here's the story.
You can start telling the story now.
And because the policy is shifting.
Zelensky is, he's in real trouble.
We know, I base that in part on this story out today, where General Zelensky is saying, oh my God, my office was bugged.
Now, whether Zelensky bugged his own office in order to be able to tell that story, or whether Zelensky actually bugged the office, The ultimate target of this is Zelensky, that he's acting out of control.
That's the story.
That's how the meme is going to be presented.
So once Zelensky is gone as the sacrificial lamb, the Ukrainians, they're going to try to negotiate with the Russians.
But the problem they've got, the Russians are no longer open to negotiations based upon making concessions.
It's going to be like Ulysses S. Grant, unconditional surrender.
So the Russians could have had, excuse me, the Ukrainians could have had a far better deal with Russia and China a few years ago until the United States interceded.
What was that deal?
Well, over the course of since, you know, the Maidan in 2014, there have been a number of inflection points in which Negotiations diplomacy might, you know, have prevented this war.
But the Senate just is not going to give you the kind of money you want, because what they want in return you won't give them.
So either Ukraine goes and your presidency goes, or you find some other source for the money.
So what does government do?
Something it's very good at.
It steals.
Negotiate now, you're not going to get any better.
Milley just proved the broken clock rule that's right, you know, twice a day.
So, he got something right.
Let's give him credit for that.
You know, back then in late September, Russia had not mobilized a big force when it went into Ukraine.
They had about 80,000 soldiers.
The Ukrainians had about 400,000.
So, the Russians were outnumbered roughly five to one.
And so, when the Ukrainians finally managed to cobble together I'll be right back.

And your foreclosure can be stopped or reversed and the mortgage transaction declared unenforceable.
State laws, U.S.
title codes, the Uniform Commercial Codes, and U.S.
Supreme Court rulings have upheld that defective mortgage documentations can reverse or stop foreclosures and enforce property title claims in favor of the homeowner.

Here comes the sun, it comes the sun, I say it's all right.
Here's another wonderful piece on Un's Review Conference.
Congress's gift to America this Christmas by Ron Paul.
Just before leaving town for Christmas break, the U.S.
House gave Americans a last-minute holiday gift.
A nearly trillion dollar military spending bill filled with lots of goodies for the special interest and military industrial complex.
Unfortunately, the rest of America, nothing but coal in its stocking.
With constitutionalists like Representative Thomas Massey on the House Rules Committee, Speaker Johnson made the unusual move of bringing the National Defense Authorization Act under suspension of the rules, which bypasses the Rules Committee, but required two-thirds of the House to pass the bill.
Considering that Speaker Johnson tossed into the must-pass bill yet another extension of Section 702 of the FISA Act, It's unsurprising he wanted to rush the bill through without a possibility of amendment.
Section 702 allows the government to intercept and retain without a warrant the communication of any American who's in contact with a non-U.S.
citizen.
It's clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which is supposed to protect Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures.
As with the rest of the violations of our civil liberties after 9-11, like the Patriot Act and the creation of the Department of Homeless Security and the TSA, the federal government turned its terrorism fighting tools inward, targeting Americans rather than foreigners.
Who, we were told, wanted to harm America.
That's why the FBI's so-called Domestic Terrorism Watch List continues to expand to enchristians and those skeptical of big government.
Absolutely right.
Reinforced by Paul Craig Roberts again, who agrees the terror watch list prepared the way to tyranny.
Do you know there are 2 million names on the federal government terror watch list?
The National Security Council claims most are not Americans.
But the Department of Homeland Security admits there have been tens of thousands of Americans who have been treated like terrorists.
It does not occur to the National Security Council that there are no terrorist events corresponding to two million terrorists.
If there truly were two million terrorists, the US would be in chaos.
So what's the list?
Four?
It expands the security bureaucracy.
The list has grown from 120,000 to 2 million, 17 times larger than its original figure.
Is this in response to terrorist events?
You name the events!
The list enables the FBI to pressure people to become informants and false witnesses and frame-ups.
Threatening to add them to the terror list.
It allows authorities to punish and cite truth tellers who expose the official narratives of the lies they are.
You can add your own explanation.
He's got it right.
Meanwhile, Texas governor, who deserves our applause, has signed a bill making illegal migrant entry from Mexico a state crime.
The problem we've had in the past is that these migration laws are federal laws enforced by the federal.
Now he's made a brilliant move, that's Texas the first state in the union, to give law enforcement officers the authority to arrest migrants who illegally enter the state as a matter of state law.
The measure SB4 was signed into law on Monday during a ceremony at the base of the border wall in Brownsville, Texas.
We all deserve, Governor Adam, a round of applause.
Meanwhile, get this.
Colorado court saves democracy by banning frontrunner from ballot against from the OODS review.
Can you remember all the way back to when Trump was fading in the polls among Republican voters and the third of a century younger DeSantis appeared likely to make the Republican nomination a strong two-man race?
Well, Democrats quickly began taking legal action against Trump, culminating today in a Colorado State Court denying Trump a spot on the Republican primary ballot and banning the counting of write-in ballots for Trump.
Not surprisingly, Republican voters have reacted to these Democrat interferences in the Democrat process with outrage and loyalty to Trump, the one Republican most likely to lose to Biden, propelling the old man to a huge lead over the field.
The Democrats are having the last laugh as they manage to rig the Republican nomination process that they've increasingly been doing in recent elections.
But They're Democrats, so it's democracy when they undermine democracy.
I think he's all wet about Trump being the candidate most likely to lose.
He's overwhelmingly likely to win.
Meanwhile, President Trump suffers an insane legal debate.
The campaign responds with a new statement.
This is from 100% Fed Up, breaking.
President Trump suffers insane legal defeat.
Campaign responds with new statement.
This is a patently insane and unconstitutional decision by the Supreme Court of Colorado.
According to the Supreme Court decision issued Tuesday, President Trump will not be appearing on the ballot after a 14th Amendment challenge was issued to the Trump campaign.
This marks the first successful 14th Amendment challenge in a 2024 Trump presidential campaign.
Colorado voters, like all voters, have the right to choose whomever they please for public office.
In no way, shape, or form can the choice be dictated to them.
But this shows the power the former president has and the kind of sway he has over voters across the country.
Really, it undermines the fear of Democrats of running against Trump.
Let me add, by the way, The Supreme Court, there have already been rulings that indicate the 14th Amendment, this clause, about being ineligible to run for federal office if you have participated in an insurrection against the United States, does not apply to modern day candidates.
It had applicability to Confederate soldiers, and get this, During the break, I received a call from my dear friend Rolf telling me how all kinds of anti-Trump Republicans are speaking out in defense of Trump because of this absurdity, including Karl Rove, Chris Christie, and a host of others.
And get this, he added, as an historian of these matters, Fifty-one former Confederate soldiers were elected to Congress just six years after the 14th Amendment passed.
Fifty-one!
I mean, this absurdity has no possibility of passing constitutional muster, and it appears to be having the ironic effect of bringing anti-Trumpers into the Trump column, supporting him for this gross objection.
No doubt his level of support is going to grow because of this.
Meanwhile, in other cases, he's also benefiting.
Judge in this bench-clearing Supreme Court case just vindicated Donald Trump.
2024 is shaping up to be a rematch in 2020.
Actually, it's not.
Biden is not going to be on the ticket, I guarantee 100%.
Discussion about recent election have been full of questions concerning controversies and potential conspiracies for a long time.
Just saying that could get you banned on social media after big tech and big media labeled certain assertion by Trump and his supporters the big lie to which the theft of the 2020 election.
But his left has continued to fight against things like voter ID.
A favorite refrain became that there was zero fraud and that such Republican efforts were attempts to minimize voting by those in so-called marginalized communities.
Now, a state Supreme Court justice has settled the debate on the zero evidence argument when he threw out an entire election On November 18th, voters in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, which includes Shreveport, took the polls to decide on the next sheriff.
Democrat Henry Whitehorn had reportedly defeated Republican John Nicholson by a single vote.
Nicholson asked for a recount, but the parish board of election supervisor refused.
That's when Nicholson began looking into the election result, troubled by what he found.
And what we have had happen is a Supreme Court justice appointed in the case, threw it out because of election fraud.
I mean, this is good because the Democrats can no longer claim, not that any of their claims were ever truthful, that there had been no evidence of election fraud as found by a court.
Meanwhile, this is also positive.
Supreme Court drops a hammer on Jack Smith.
With a ruling talking about the claim that has been made against January 6th participants of obstructing an official proceeding, which of course was supposed to be the counting of the ballots.
Hundreds of cases have been and will be affected by the scope of this decision, including a case against a former president.
The use of this particular section of the law, outside evidence of impairment crimes, is an extraordinary and unprecedented extension of the statute's reach.
Nothing Trump did on January 6th during contesting the election was explicitly against the law.
Smith and his team scoured the federal penal code for laws they could contend Trump had violated.
Earlier this year, the Supreme Court rejected a case involving prosecutors' expansive interpretation of fraud statutes, which led legal experts to conclude the court didn't want prosecutors charging Americans for crimes not explicitly covered by the text of the statutes.
No, my prosecutors are going to have to confront a Supreme Court skeptical of government, taking an expansive view on statutory language to create criminal liability, which is almost certainly going to lead to its rejection as well.
Meanwhile, and this I think is unfortunately serious, this is coming from live site.
Will the deep state actually assassinate Donald Trump?
One only has to look at Robert Kagan's recent unhinged rant in the Washington Post in which he describes a Trump re-election as an American-ending apocalyptic event to seriously wonder if the deep Zeta is actually considering the unthinkable.
Life site news.
The 2024 presidential race is not quite fully underway, but as it continues to draw near, the first GOP contest in Iowa on January 15th, January 15th, less than a month away, an increasing number of predictions are being made about what will take place.
For many months now, Trump has had a firm grasp on the Republican nomination.
He's never been more than 30.
He's never not been more than 30% above the rest.
In fact, most recent polls show him around 60% ahead of Nikki Haley, Rhonda Sanders, Vivek Ramaswamy, each of whom have garnered around 15%.
A lawsuit filed by anti-Democrat liberals Aimed at keeping Trump off state ballots that have thus far been swatted down by the court system, as will this latest from Colorado.
And while George Soros' back, New York attorney Letitia James' lawsuit has taken a lot of time, money, and energy from a former president, the likelihood Trump will end up in jail as a result seems highly unlikely.
Inevitability of another Trump nomination.
And here they say possible electoral victory.
I say probable is something Beltway elites are coming to grips with.
Robert Kagan.
The neocon husband of liberal Zionist Victoria Nuland said as much in a recent column for C.I.E.
Mount Pisa Washington Post.
Nuland is a bureaucratic parasite, what the media call a diplomat, who currently serves in the Biden regime.
Her primary job is to ensure your and my taxes are funneled to Vladimir Zelensky's ever-widening pockets.
His article is several thousand words long.
Its exhibit AOI belongs in an insane asylum.
It's an unhinged rant about how Trump will usher in a dictatorship if he ever gets reelected, which Kagan admits is looking very possible.
Kagan theorizes that if Trump wins the presidency, he'll immediately become the most powerful person ever to hold that office.
Kagan then ominously asks his audience, most of whom are probably intel agents, what they are going to do to prevent this from happening.
If we thought there were a 50% chance of an asteroid crashing into North America a year from now, would we be content to hope that it wouldn't?
Or would we be taking every conceivable measure to try to stop it including many things that might not work but that given the magnitude of the crisis must be tried anyway that's how bad it's got in america i simply observed.
That Trump has been the subject of 2012 attempted assassination attempts, one with a drone firing through a window of his bedroom at Mar-a-Lago, and would have been successful except a week before they'd replaced the ordinary glass with bulletproof.
Meanwhile, Jim Jordan has a message for Clarence Thomas, whom the Democrats are trying to force to recuse himself from a Trump immunity case.
Ramaswamy has exposed the latest tactics of CNN moderator in an answer about COVID origin and federal agents on January 6th.
I'd really like, I really like What Ramaswamy is saying.
Here we have a top Democrat.
This is pretty fascinating.
A top Democrat shut down the border.
Senator Joe Manchin expressed deep concern during a recent interview about the rapidly deteriorating situation at the U.S.
southern border, highlighting the urgency for lawmakers to take decisive action to address the escalating issue.
Speaking on CNN's State of the Nation, Manchin underscored the pressing need to tackle the crisis of surging illegal immigration, emphasizing that it is imperative to overhaul the existing immigration system.
As I've observed here many times, it would be very simple.
All we have to do is adopt Mexico's policies, which require, number one, that you be able to show that you have something to contribute to the good of the nation as a carpenter, a plumber, a lawyer, a doctor.
Number two, That you have the financial resources to fund yourself and your family, whoever is coming with you, that you not become a burden on the state.
Those two simple policies would shut it down.
Meanwhile, we have a federal judge about to unseal over 180 previously redacted names of Jeffrey Epstein's powerful associates.
Stand by for this.
You're going to see some names that are going to shock you.
Chuck Schumer all bets on the list.
I won't be surprised.
Nancy Pelosi, Alan Dershowitz, and more.
We'll be right back.

For some, the short-term relief can turn into an opioid addiction nightmare.
Have you ever wondered why CBD oil is a billion-dollar industry?
It's because it works better than opioids and is actually healthy for you.
However, CBD oil is stripped of all other helpful compounds found in the hemp plants.
According to neuroscientists, the whole hemp plant, otherwise known as hemp paste, is even more effective than the chemically processed CBD oil.
Are you ready to take back your health?
You can try hemp paste for the price of a cup of coffee.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done Nothing you can say that can't be done There's nothing you can say that you can learn how to play the game It's easy Well, five more stories of which you should be aware.
A Japanese firm is acquiring U.S.
steel for almost $15 billion.
Their national security and labor concerns as the iconic American company changes hands to those of a foreign power.
An FBI agent, and that was from the Gateway Pundit, an FBI agent lied under oath about knowledge of Hunter's laptop.
Is that a surprise from the Epoch Times?
Meanwhile, Rumble reported ADL, Anti-Defamation League, which is roughly the intellectual arm of the Mossad, manipulates hate crime statistics to sell anti-Semitism narrative.
Remember, Any criticism of Israel, even for committing genocide, is supposed to be anti-Semitism.
Even the House of Representatives voted to broaden the definition, which is frankly absurd.
I'm reminded of the story of Abraham Lincoln.
He said if you call the tail of a dog a leg, how many legs does it have?
And if someone foolishly answered five, he'd say no, because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one.
Calling criticism of Israel for genocide anti-Semitism does not make it anti-Semitism.
Israel has just sold itself.
It has destroyed its reputation.
It has become a despised nation among the world and sad to say we, the United States, are right there with them because we are facilitating this mass murder.
Of innocence, of a Palestinian people who have a claim that, in my opinion, goes back 3,000 years to the land of Palestine.
Israel's been there for 75, but they want to remove or kill every single occupant.
I've said before, and you may have thought it was facetious, that the final solution from the Israeli point of view was to load all the Palestinians aboard a ship, float it out to sea and sink it.
Well, they're doing the equivalent right now in Gaza.
Meanwhile, we have a Michigan Iman, and this is totally fake, urging Muslims to wage jihad against the United States from within.
This is more Israeli propaganda and goes along with a registered Israeli foreign agent Driving, contrived, campus anti-Semitism crisis.
This is what they're doing!
They're messing with us, and they do it endlessly, endlessly!
They not only destroyed the USS Liberty in 1967, which thank God did not actually sink, So that was the objective where LBJ appears to have been complicit there.
But the attack on 9-11 was an Israeli job.
Came to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons in the Department of Defense.
Almost every single one of them was a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and the Mossad in order to create a pretext to bring American military to the Middle East.
To take out the modern Arab state and serve as a counterbalance to Israel's domination of the entire region.
That's who we're dealing with.

Look at you all.

Still my guitar gently weeps.
Well, this is Jim Fetzer, your host on Authentic News, welcoming you to the second hour right here on RBN Live, this 20th day of December 2023, where I take your calls.
We have our first lined up, Paul in New Jersey.
Join the conversation, Paul.
Hello, Mr. Fetzer.
Hey, concerning Yemen, we have to remember, wasn't that on Wesley's Clark That list of seven nations, it was on their, the Mossad, I guess you'd call it a wish hit list.
Yes, I believe.
Yes, it was.
Yes.
Yeah.
And so I was, I was looking at the maps of Yemen and you know, it's very mountainous.
The highest peak is about 12,000 feet.
Their major city, Sanaa, That is at 7,000 feet above sea level.
So if America plans on storming the beaches of Yemen and conquering Yemen, that's not going to be such an easy task.
Everything's going to be fighting uphill, and they're going to be peppering you with all kinds of missiles and weapons from on high.
And so I think what the strategy for the Pentagon more apt would be Just a prolonged naval blockade, but even then that's an incredible entanglement.
Oh yeah.
So it might be true.
Hal Turner's been saying that the American government has to deal with this very deftly because they're afraid the Yemenis might target the Saudi oil fields and disrupt the oil supply to the West.
Paul, you're spot on.
You're absolutely spot on.
They've had this fragile peace agreement with Saudi Arabia, Yemen's to be divided in half, the south to the control of the Saudis, and that's where the oil is, the north, for the Yemenis who only wanted democracy.
I mean, they don't have any pecuniary interests.
I mean, Americans, American companies can't even understand Their mindset because the Yemenis are so principled and so moral and American corporations are so unprincipled and so immoral.
And you're exactly right.
If the Houthis are going to be attacked, there's a major risk they'll take out the Saudi Arabian refineries.
And look at this.
They have shown themselves to be fearless, fearless.
I am in awe of the Houthis.
I mean, Years ago, when it was rather a ragtag band, I didn't think they had much prospect of defeating Saudi Arabia.
It was buying billions in military equipment from the U.S.
to attack the Houthis.
But the situation is quite the opposite today.
So, Paul, you're making really good points.
More.
Well, you know, it's a very poor country, too.
And one of the comments I make is How can you bomb somebody who is in the Stone Age and bomb them into the Stone Age?
I mean, the Yemenis are notoriously, the poverty levels are very high, high infant mortality, and our, you know, the war isn't helping, that's for sure.
And it's a very populous, the population is 32 million people, which is a larger population than Afghanistan.
We're larger than Iraq, when we did Iraq, and larger than Syria.
So it's a very populated country, so I'm sure they have a large supply of potential soldiers.
Now, the real tragedy of this is, and it's really the fault of the United States and Israel, because we should remember the Bible, at least for us, you know, Gentiles, when I hear about the Jews, I hear about, you know, an eye for an eye, right?
And a tooth for a tooth.
And yet, here it is, you know, we know they let it happen on purpose, the October 7th attack.
We know that, you know, supposedly, I would say the real death toll by the Hamas might be a few hundred times.
Yes.
Not the 1,400.
I'm not buying any of that.
Right.
And so the point is the Israelis are making this way worse than they have to, and their delusion that they're going to clear out all of Gaza is just insane.
And that basically you're not allowed to really, in the modern world, especially with Jews, the hypocrisy of it after all the lecturing from the Holocaust and all the lecturing about genocide being bad.
And now here it is.
They're going way beyond the pound of flesh, Jim.
You know what I mean?
Way beyond what should be like an adequate level of vengeance.
I mean, if they killed a few thousand people and then just wrapped it up, And pull the troops out and let it go, right?
And turn the other cheek, Jim.
Right?
I would be sympathetic with them.
But the extent and desire of their bloodlust and their vengeance, desire for it, is excessive.
And it's not even suiting them.
It's not even... They're crazy!
I just see it as mental illness on their part.
A monomania, you know?
I got to congratulate you.
I think this is one of the most incisive, analytic, and accurate calls I've had since I began hosting here on RBN.
I think you're spot on.
You're totally on top of it.
I love the fact you've done additional research about the mountainous terrain.
These guys are going to fight like the Japanese at Iwo Jima.
And if we could not defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan, how the hell could we expect to defeat a far more sophisticated, battle-hardened Houthis in Yemen?
You are making very telling points.
And they're on a mountain redoubt surrounding all around.
If you look at the geography, it's all surrounded by mountains.
You know, the coast goes right up into mountains.
And so the way to really do it is try to work with a, you know, a grand strategy ploy coming for the Pentagon is to try to make sure they're not getting supplies through their immediate neighbors, which is Saudi Arabia and Oman.
You know, that would be the way to basically at least stop the potential weapons going over borders, that kind of thing.
But either way, we Americans should not get involved in any of this, Jim.
This is none of our business.
George Washington warned us about foreign entanglements in his farewell address.
He also warned us against permanent alliances, Jim.
And really, what has Israel done for us other than given us a whole bunch of new enemies we don't need and never wanted?
You know, we're not supposed to get entangled in this Israeli project.
And for our supposed best ally, name one thing we get out of Israel.
We don't get anything.
There's no benefit of being allied.
And by the way, Jim, why not just take the three, I think would be a lot cheaper, take the three billion a year that we give to Israel and give it to Iran and have them be our best ally in the region and have them be our buddies and just switch allegiance.
George Washington said we're permitted To switch allegiances whenever we think it's best for the American people.
And I think we should consider doing that.
It's enough.
What a brilliant idea.
I mean, unlike the war, like the vicious, nasty Israelis, Iran is a peace-loving nation that hasn't launched a war of aggression against another state since 1775, Paul.
We could not have.
Our greatest allies in the world ought to be Iran and Russia right off the bat, Paul.
I think you're knocking it out of the park.
I could not agree more.
Exactly, but you know what's interesting?
What Washington says in its farewell address is that when you have a coterie or a group of people who really love their favorite nation, and that's the Zionists, you see, we, true patriots, we are becoming the suspects now.
There actually is a war with Yemen.
I wouldn't be surprised The pro-Zionists in this country try to round up dissenters like ourselves, you know, who want to remain objective, who want to remain, like, aloof to these foreign entanglements.
And we become the suspects now.
We become the enemies of their foreign favorite.
And really, our country—and, you know, Stu Peters is doing a great job of this.
He's addressed this on Alex Jones last week.
We really are just becoming, like, the country's been taken over by aliens.
The Zionists totally have taken over our American foreign policy.
You're spot on.
I love Stu Peters, too.
And if Alex is featuring him just as he's featuring my dear colleague Scott Bennett, all the more power to Alex because he's getting the message out, the right message to a whole lot of people.
I can forgive him a lot of faults.
I've always thought he did a good job of stimulating interest in controversial issues and providing alternative points of view.
Where I have thought he fell short is following through enough to examine the evidence and ascertain which side is right or wrong, which obviously led him into the morass of Sandy Hook.
If he'd only followed my lead, he would have come out of this far, far better.
And I sought to aid and abet him across the board in Connecticut and Austin.
Even in the Remington lawsuit, no one wanted me there to point out that the whole thing had been a FEMA drill presented as mass murder to promote gun control.
And he's still in a morass over that.
I would welcome, you know, if he were to say, Fetzer has new evidence.
Let's see what he's got to say, and I could explain how I've been in contact with two of the participants in the hoax, how I can prove that three of the prominent victims are alive and well.
Maybe Alex could gain some traction.
But he's really, unfortunately, misplayed his hand.
You have not, Paul.
You have done a wonderful—this is a masterpiece for a call.
I can't thank you enough.
Give us your final thoughts, Paul, and they can be extended.
I don't have much more to say.
I pretty much did all I could, but thank you for the compliments, Jim, and God bless RBN and you for the good work you're doing.
Paul, I want you to call back anytime.
You are just outstanding.
John in Texas.
John, join the conversation.
Hello, was that me you said, yeah?
Yeah, go ahead, John.
I'm sorry, I just missed you with that big buzz.
Yeah, I've got to follow that call, thanks very much.
I had a couple of things I just wanted to mention, things I saw yesterday, and of course I left a bit late calling you yesterday, but I was struck by, I think his name is Lloyd Austin, he's your guy that's over there at the moment, and he was talking about the Hootie, Yeah!
Yeah!
of that ship in the Red Sea and he said with a straight face how it violated international law and I just thought to myself you know what Matt it's a good job that you're a black-skinned man because we couldn't see you blush you're standing beside an Israeli and they've how many international laws have they broken they're probably in the Guinness Book of Records violating international law
and my next point was what's what's the name of your foreign secretary the guy that's been here really about 50 times in the last week Antony Blinken, who's a Jew.
Antony Blinken, yeah.
Yeah, I saw him earlier on there.
That guy could save himself a lot of time and trouble if every time he comes out to the podium, he just needs to come out once and say, look, Israel can do whatever the hell it wants and we'll pay for it.
And then they just need to rerun that film.
And he can do without the discomfort of having to say that every day because when I saw him today, he looked in agony.
He looked as if he just wanted to die.
Anyway, the hijacked ship here, I heard some British media talking about this yesterday.
One of them was interviewing this lady who was the Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem about, oh I'm sorry, I've got that, they were talking about, you mentioned it earlier actually, there's a family of a British MP No.
Hamas?
in this church in Gaza by the IDF.
Yeah.
So this lady was one of three people I saw interviewed about this.
I think she might have been interviewed by the BBC.
And she says, there are no churches in Gaza.
Oh, no, there are churches.
But the Christians have been driven out by Hamas.
That was her response.
No.
Hamas.
They're sick.
Absolutely sick.
And another runner caught doing the same thing His name is Uli Edelson.
He's the Chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs.
And he said pretty much the same thing about the lady trapped in the Gaza Church.
Yeah, it's Hamas that's doing that.
And the last one I have, Jim, is... Now, I first saw this interview about two weeks ago, and it was this guy, Josh Paul, the guy who resigned from the State Department over the arms-to-Israel thing.
Yeah.
Have you heard of Max Egan?
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
Well, I saw Max's latest video at the time.
It was about a week or maybe two weeks after this kicked off on October the 7th, showing the footage from an Israeli helicopter Yes, you're absolutely right.
And I hate when you get propaganda about blaming Hamas.
Hey, it's the Israelis.
But they get away with just ignoring it and it bloody infuriates me.
It really does.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
And I hate when you get propaganda about blaming a mosque.
Hey, it's the Israelis.
They've taken out every church, every mosque, every school.
They're destroying all the hospitals.
I mean, there's no doubt about the savagery of their campaign.
They are out to kill every man, woman and child in Gaza.
They are.
That is their objective.
Yep.
Unbelievable, it's horrible, absolutely horrible.
I never thought I'd live to see anything like this in my lifetime, but my God.
Are the Houthis the only ones with the balls to do anything about it?
I am so in awe of the Houthis, John.
It's so wonderful what they are doing.
Well, you know who would love to be able to go there and help the Palestinians?
There's a team in Scotland called Glasgow Celtic, and they are huge, huge fans of the Palestinians.
And they've got about 60,000 there to get into the stadium.
Now, if we could ship them out to Gaza, they wouldn't need guns.
They would kick the living crap out of the IDF.
The IDF, man per man, appear to be very feeble, that it's all pretense, that the illusion of Israeli invincibility militarily has been shattered.
Also, of course, the idea of the excellence of their intel service has been shattered.
But most of all, their claims to be victims because of the mythology of the Holocaust have been utterly destroyed because they're doing to the Palestinians what they claim the Germans did to them.
It is outrageous.
And you yourself have made that point.
All right.
I'll leave it up, mate.
All the best to you.
John, thanks.
Thanks.
Wonderful, wonderful call.
I've got this fake Iman in Michigan and I just want to share.
I mean, once you see him, the guy's Jewish.
The guy's a Jew and he's pretending to be an Iman.
Here it is.

That's an Alex ad.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave permission for those transgressed and to defend themselves.
They don't need the permission of any filthy ruler in the UAE or the filthy rulers in Bilad al-Haramain.
It's about time the Muslims, especially the youth in the West, it's time for them to understand what Should already be known that the Kafir West, particularly the U.S., are enemies of Muslims.
America is a vicious enemy of Muslims.
I strongly advocated and showed proof for the boycotts.
And I still do.
And I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to reward those who call for it.

I was wondering if you've ever heard of a gentleman named Gulen, G-U-L-E-N.
Tell me.
He runs an Islamic compound in Pennsylvania.
He's been doing this for years.
He recruits prisoners that are leaving prison into his army.
He establishes schools all around the country with federal funding, and he's a terrorist.
Gulen, G-U-L-E-N?
FBI knows about.
If you just do a search on Gulen, G-U-L-E-N, I think he is from Turkey or Lebanon, but he is definitely not a good person to have in this country, and it's a very interesting situation that he's creating with his schools and it's a very interesting situation that he's creating with his schools and with the expansion of Gulen, G-U-L-E-N.
Right.
I got a picture of Mick.
Fool at Goon, hon.
The Gulen movement is a transnational Islamic civil society movement inspired by Gulen's teaching about his net all true ethnic service to the common.
I'm certainly open to everything you're telling us about this guy.
Why would I find it not surprising?
That a Biden FBI or Department of Justice would be willing to fund a school for terrorists right here in the USA.
What you're saying, John, fits what they're doing to America, which is everything possible to destroy most of the country in the shortest possible time.
Tell us more, John.
Well, this has been going on for years, so it's not just Biden, it's Obama, it's Bushes.
If you go back to see his history, he's ruthless.
I'd be willing to bet they kept this information away from Trump because he very likely would have done something about it.
That's possible, I would say, because his influence in this country is so expansive, but to recruit all of these In prison, supposedly there's an Islamic group and then there's other groups, motorcycle groups, but these people, when they leave, he finances their trip to his compound, I think it's in Pennsylvania, where he trains them.
And then he also has schools that he develops around the country, and it's financed.
One way I interpret this, John, is though I was calling out his fake Michigan Iman, urging Muslims to wage jihad against the United States from within.
This guy might actually be doing just that.
Well, if you do the simple research, it's out there and they don't hide it.
And the fact that the FBI and all the other compromised agencies do not do anything about it.
Not good.
Not good, John.
to allow this to continue, plus I think he gets federal funding for his schools and his buildings, his mosques.
Not good.
Not good, John.
More.
Jim, okay?
I'll come back with more when I was talking about Obama when he was with the U.N. and the military telling Congress that they take their orders from the U.N.
So I'll try to get all that information to you. - John, you can stay and share it right now.
I mean, we only have one other caller at the moment.
If you would like to add more information, you're welcome to do it even now.
Well, it's mostly was to expose the Gulen, who most people have never heard about.
And also to let them know, too, that the U.N.
is pretty much being the arm of the financial criminals, the Rothschilds, in bringing this country down.
And another is Syria and Iran and Russia, they've all kicked out the Rothschild banking cartel, and that's why they're the boogeyman at this present time.
As same as when Iceland kicked the bankers out.
John, great call.
Great call.
Call again, my friend.
Call again.
We'll be right back with Catherine from Virginia.
Yeah, stay up high.
I want the truth!
You can't handle the truth!
You're listening to Republic Broadcasting Network.
Real news.
Real talk.
Real people.
Because you can handle the truth.
Homeowners, are you in foreclosure, expecting to be served with a foreclosure lawsuit or suspect your lender has coerced you into an illegal mortgage transaction?
A huge number of mortgages made in the last 10 years have legal issues and are possibly defective.
State laws and the U.S.
Supreme Court have upheld that defective mortgage documents are grounds for foreclosure defense and for counterclaims in favor of the homeowner.
If your mortgage has been sold or assigned since closing the loan, it may be defective and you may be paying the wrong party and the lender may not have standing or the right to foreclose or collect payments under the law.
If you would like to know if your mortgage is legal or not, or know if you are paying the right party, we can help.
Our initial consultations are free of charge.
We are not attorneys.
We are legal researchers and work closely with experienced lawyers who know how to help you find the evidence to help you keep your home.

Just do what it please.
Yes.
You know how they had hearings with a doctor, probably gay, from Harvard who, I mean, the more I'm hearing about her, no publications, and the publications she did, her dissertation, was completely plagiarized without citing She has no peer-reviewed publications?
And she's a president of Harvard?
Give me a break!
Exactly.
I mean, she's a diversity hire.
And then they also went after the Pennsylvania, you know, person who looks... She resigned.
She looked Christian.
The one from MIT who was Jewish, they just let off the hook.
But one thing I was going to mention, because Harvard was involved, is Noel Ignatius, who advocated white genocide forever and nothing was ever done.
He would tell classrooms full of students whose parents and the kids themselves paid You know, what would be the price of a house?
In former generations, the family would have spent that money to buy a home.
Yeah, who is the professor you're speaking of?
I'm sure you know of him, Noel Ignatieff.
Noel Ignatieff, who told white children they have no future and should commit suicide.
That the white race should be abolished.
I mean, there's stuff on YouTube still of him, of Noel Ignacio.
Well, I'll just, let me just say, I mean, that's all repulsive and it's despicable.
But, but, but, but, but Catherine, but Catherine, all I would add is, Under the framework of free speech, we're allowed to say things that are unpopular and despicable.
And this guy, in an academic setting, as a professor, is entitled to say those awful things, even though I find every one of them objectionable.
Go ahead.
The difference here is it was the students Protesting against Israel's genocide and somehow these demonic, satanic Jews were able to turn it around saying that Jews were in danger of being genocided when in fact it was protests against the genocide that Israel is doing.
Yeah, you're right.
You're absolutely right, Catherine.
They play those They play those games and they make themselves a victim every time.
I don't think it's going to wash any longer.
These aren't victims.
These are monsters.
But another point is, and I wanted to look it up and I didn't get a chance just to see if I was correct.
But I believe that, you know, Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, he was teaching at this school.
In New York, and there's one in Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
I forget the name of the school.
He was teaching?
Teaching?
Teaching?
Yes, Jeffrey Epstein was a math teacher.
And teaching at Dalton School.
Dalton School.
Oh, this is like he was a math teacher at a private school.
Right, at the Dalton School.
He never finished college.
I believe that Bill Gates... I mean, people can look this up and tell me if I'm wrong.
Bill Gates never finished college, but I believe also Joel Ignatius never finished college.
I believe that.
Sometimes you have these things in your head, and you remember them, and you make all the connections.
That's why it would be a bad thing if they start killing off us old people.
So, Catherine, I think the point you're making with that example from the Harvard professor is he's allowed to say outrageous things, but kids who are protesting rightly are not allowed to say a word.
They're being punished for protesting genocide.
Right.
And how many suicides might he have caused?
Think about it.
I agree.
How many were driven to despair?
But the whole difference is, A, he was a teacher.
I mean, you don't expect, you know, free speech is free speech, but if it's of a genocidal nature, I mean, it shouldn't be tolerated, but it was students protesting Israel's genocide, and somehow it got turned around to You know, they wanted to show that Jews were in danger.
And very, very, very often... You're making wonderful points, Catherine.
I didn't get to get them all out!
And very, very, very often when there's, you know, gravestones knocked over and supposedly anti-Semitic... They're doing it.
Those are doing it themselves.
Yes.
For spray paint, you know, for a couple of bucks you do spray paint, create a national incident that's supposed to promote Jewish victimhood.
To hell with that!
Catherine, give us your final thoughts.
Give us your final thoughts for today.
And I wish that caller that was before me yesterday would call in again.
He had some great stuff that I never heard of before.
You know, I need to research, but the caller before me today was really good also.
Yeah, great stuff, and keep up the good work.
But, you know, when somebody like Katherine Horton says, oh, it was Dr. Mangala, but question, how could Dr. Mangala be in all these places?
How come nobody said anything?
Not only never said anything bad about Dr. Mengele until, you know, maybe the 1970s.
How come nobody, nothing was said bad about him?
And on the contrary, he was praised.
He was praised because he got the typhus under control.
You have to catch them at that point and just ask them polite questions.
Believe it or not, now I have three callers standing by, Catherine.
Excellent, excellent call.
Thank you very much.
I look forward to your next call.
Peter in Los Angeles.
Peter, join the conversation.
Yeah, hi, Jim.
Listen, I'll make this very short.
By the way, the Israelis are blowing up Palestinian graveyards.
So their history, everything is being disappeared.
But they're bombing graveyards.
Yeah.
However, what I called about was Jerry Seinfeld.
I just sent it to you.
You might want to pick it up.
I sent it to you by email.
Jerry Seinfeld, who is a rabid Jewish supremacist and has been on the paper of the New York Post and the New York Times, has talked about how he's gone over there and he's met with the hostages and all that.
I sent you an article from a couple of years ago where he went to Israel with his entire family, his children.
This was five or six years ago.
You have the article.
And they went to a fantasy camp that was in the West Bank, the occupied West Bank.
And they had live fire, gunfire, where you could fire Uzis and Galils and all the stuff that the Israelis do at fake Palestinian terrorists.
And there was Jerry Seinfeld with his little kids and his entire family on the West Bank at a gun range that was training people to kill Palestinians.
That's bad.
You have the article.
I just thought I'd... That's bad.
Yeah, how bad is that?
You'll never hear that... That's very bad, Peter.
Very bad.
Yeah, check out that article and that's it for me, Jim.
I will.
Peter, thanks.
Thanks for that call.
I always like your calls.
Keith in Montana joined the conversation.
Keith, welcome back.
Hello there, Jim.
Good to hear you.
Hey, I just wanted to pull up some laces here to pull the shoestrings tight, OK?
Your caller earlier that was talking about Fethullah Gulen, if you remember, he was involved in the coup against Erdogan over there in Turkey in 2016.
And Turkey was holding up the joining of Sweden and Finland into NATO because of that.
And the U.S.
has been covering them.
This is your ISIS group.
The U.S.
has been giving cover for this Gulen group there.
And this involves, as Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson would say, the taking out of Soleimani because he was the one fighting ISIS.
And this also ties back to CIA training of the MEK in Northern Nevada.
All these so-called terrorist groups are the ones that run around the Middle East causing hell and stuff like that.
And the latest one, which was in December here, Turkey wanted Sweden to release one of these terrorists which was involved in that coup, and they wouldn't do it.
This is what was holding this up now.
So, again, the U.S.
has been Yes, yes.
Well, if Turkey were to leave NATO, it would be a severe blow.
Turkey has a potential to be a force for good in relation to this mess in Israel.
It's got to be a little more aggressive.
I'm just in awe of the Houthis!
Aren't you, Peter?
I mean, the Houthis!
Wow!
What I'm looking at this way here is that Israel is not a NATO member, and the U.S.
is in violation of its own laws anyway, since Israel's not a signer of the Nonproliferation Treaty.
They're not a signer of the biological chemical weapons there.
So Israel's in violation of U.S.
law anyway.
However— The Symington Amendment that you cannot give foreign aid to a country with undeclared weapons of mass destruction.
That's right.
If Turkey, a NATO member, with over two million that are ready to go, as even Douglas MacGregor says, if Turkey was to get involved in there, well, Turkey's a NATO member.
What would happen if Turkey did attack Israel, who is a non-NATO member, and the U.S.
would have to attack a NATO member?
Does that mean that the rest of NATO comes to the aid of Turkey?
I think NATO, yeah, that's great.
I think that NATO just falls apart at that point in time, and Turkey...
does its own thing and the rest of them cower in shame because we're talking about a very powerful adversary and by the way i hope turkey does get involved and to hell with nato which has discredited and disgraced itself for decades jay a final a final thought keith yeah my only uh fear is you know it's sad that these u.s uh
Navy personnel are going to be used as saps out there, but it's this way all the time, whether it's Pearl Harbor, the Spanish Main, all this stuff I get, you know?
The fact is, the U.S.
wants to broaden the war there because of the collapse of the financial system.
I mean, it is.
People don't realize how close the financial system is about ready to collapse.
And when it does, nothing's going to matter.
And that's why They're trying to set an edge.
Like I told you before here, all the stories about Iranian snipers here and stuff, that was to keep the Israelis in Israel there because of the mass exodus from Israel, because you would need a Jewish state if all the Jews were leaving.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keith, you make a lot of excellent points, my friend.
I know, I know.
Thank you, Keith.
I know.
Thank you, Keith.
Very, very much.
Thanks.
Lila from Canada.
Lila, delighted to have you back.
Yeah, I don't have anything positive or hopeful to say, especially not about Turkey.
Turkey is one of the most corrupt leaderships.
Now, the people of Turkey, some of them are genuinely sympathetic with the Palestinians, but it's not on the basis of morality.
It's on the basis of their fellow Muslims.
Who do you think drove out, it wasn't this particular government, but Erdogan is totally corrupt.
He is a deceitful, hypocritical man.
I don't know why everybody is falling for his lies.
He's just muttering whatever he thinks will appease the domestic pressure.
But Leila, Leila, Leila, look, I know his venality, I agree.
And he's a narcissist, I agree.
Let me inform people about the history of the government.
The Ottomans preceding this particular group, they drove out all the Christians.
They're the ones who massacred the Armenians.
They massacred the Greek Orthodox.
And they also, they were for a while.
It's just so complex.
Everyone oversimplifies things.
They grab onto a straw.
Erdogan says something politically correct or attractive, and people believe what Santa Claus says because they want to believe in Santa Claus.
The point I'm seeking to make is he might do the right thing for the wrong reason.
He He wants to be a leader.
There's nothing in modern Turkey that is moral or ethical.
Some of the people are, but not many.
The only thing he's doing is muttering appealing words that will pacify those amongst his Muslims.
Let me tell you what they should do in Palestine.
You're missing my point.
You're missing my point, Layla.
Why should I bother if you don't want to hear the truth?
You've been saying for weeks that Turkey is going to be the cavalry that comes over the horizon and comes to the rescue.
It is not.
It is corrupt.
It's making deals with Israel.
They're equally as corrupt.
They destroyed the economy of Palestine many times over.
The Ottomans, the thing is, it's so deeply entrenched within that culture.
I'm not talking about Islam's principles.
I'm talking about the Muslims who act on their own.
I mean, they always have had this notion.
They have forced people to Convert to Islam in order to be able to participate as full citizens.
There have been some wonderful Muslims, Salah al-Din, who saved people, not only the people of Palestine, from the Crusaders, who were absurdly arrogant, brutal, and were there to steal.
But the Turks are, the Muslims, when I talk, let me finish about Salah al-Din first before I go on.
There is really no Arab ethnicity.
It's a very small, minor group.
The Arab armies that did invade numerous countries obliterated their identity.
The reason it was so easy for the Zionists to take over Palestine was because they were weakened from centuries, if not millennia, of having been rampaged by one imperial power after another.
And out of there comes this guy called Muhammad, whose real name was Muhammad.
He was a Christian who wanted to create a new religion and appoint himself the last prophet.
The thing about Islam, yes, they recognized Christianity because Muhammad himself, Muhammad the baptized man, was himself a Christian who married a rich widow in order to enable him to do what he was going to do.
Now, ideally, I don't know if his motives were good.
He wanted to unify the people.
But for what?
Because they were going to take over Europe.
That was the goal.
But that is the problem.
Everyone is now cleansing Islam as though it's some kind of superior religion.
There are some very good things within Islam, but there are very bad Muslims.
And among the Turks, there is the residue of the evil from the Ottoman Empire.
And Ataturk was a crypto-Jew and a homosexual.
So this man that they call Ataturk means the father of the Turks.
They deified this guy who was utterly corrupt.
He was largely responsible for the Armenian genocide, the torment, the genocide of the Greeks, of Anatolia, of Asia Minor, the residual evil amongst them Do you know why so many Christians from Palestine went to South America?
by the Allies, which supposedly would have been good, but the intention of the Allies themselves was corrupt.
It was simply to replace the Ottoman dominance of what they had taken over as an empire and then neglected.
Do you know why so many Christians from Palestine went to South America?
Because the Ottomans, their army, the Janissaries, who were kidnapped boys, indoctrinated and those who were good fighters were kept on in the Janissary.
They would go around to villages and look for any boy who was tall enough to hold a rifle.
They would throw them into the front line without proper clothing, shoes, or boots, and they would just put them in the front line.
Many Christians, especially, died because the boys would be hiding in the water wells.
To avoid being taken by the Janissaries, the Ottomans.
And that residual evil is still there.
Erdogan is obsessed with recreating the Ottoman Empire.
He does not care about the Palestinians as humans or on the basis of morality.
He's only stating things that he thinks will appease the protests.
Of the Muslims who are sympathetic with the people in Gaza because they're fellow Muslims.
And that's the problem.
Everyone identifies with their group, whether it's a so-called religious group or it's a national group.
But this deification of Erdogan is going to come along and say, no he's not.
He's interested in himself.
Why do you think he withdrew his disapproval, his objection, to Finland and Sweden joining NATO?
Or was it the EU?
NATO.
He is allowing Russia to be encircled.
The notion that the Christian Byzantine Empire did have an alliance with Imperial Russia, Because they were fellow Orthodox.
The religion, the Orthodox religion in Russia and the Ukraine was actually established by the Byzantines.
They intermarried.
That's how close they were.
But this notion that somehow the Turkey of today is going to be the benefactor on the basis of the ideals of ancient Constantinople, we need to dispossess ourselves of that illusion.
And Roryan is only going to act in his own interest, always has and always will. - I suppose I agree with all of that.
The point I'm making, it might be in his own interest not to reveal himself as a blowhard by following through on claims he's already made about Turks fighting in Gaza for Israel.
If he doesn't do it, he's going to be dismissed as Insignificant.
He can't handle that.
That's why I think there's still a prospect he might actually do something for the wrong reason.
He's not going to do anything that is going to enable or weaken his position with anybody.
The man has no principles.
He'll say whatever is acceptable for the day.
If he had wanted to intervene, he would have from the very beginning.
You don't wait until everybody has been decimated in Gaza You make a lot of powerful points.
I do have one more caller here.
Would you like to make a closing statement?
Yeah.
Give up.
Forget it.
The thing is over.
They've got control of your souls.
They've got control of your leadership.
You can talk on all you want about how much you know and how much research you've done and what you've read.
It's all illusion.
Nothing's going to happen.
Satan has taken over.
And unless something happens, something dramatic, unless there is going to be a miracle, if you believe in miracles, that's what it's going to take, because human ability is too limited.
There is something deficient in the human moral impulses.
Some people will self-sacrifice, they are truly altruistic, on a generic basis, and not simply because it's, quote, one of ours.
It simply is not in the human repertoire of behavior to do the right thing by a large amount of participants.
I think the Houthis are contradicting your claim, Leila.
They're Muslims!
That's why they're acting, because they're Muslims!
Jason, call early tomorrow.
I'll get you on the air.
Thank you, Leila.
Always glad to hear from you.
Everyone, spend as much time as you can with family, friends, and people you love and care about.
