Truth vs. NEW$ Inc, Part 1 (7 January 2024) with Don Grahn, Scott Bennett, and Brian Davidson

Time Text
Welcome folks to a happy new year here in 2024 and Sunday the 7th.
Well, one week into it and already things are really happening here.
Amazing.
So, welcome to Truth vs. News, where we talk about what's really happening, as opposed to what the news is reporting.
There's quite a difference here.
It shouldn't be a TV like this, but no, it's like that.
And we're here to report it, and we have the very best people in the world to do that.
We have Jim Spetser, who's written books like Nobody Died at Sandy Hook.
American Luke's on 9-11, and this one here that's forbidden, Nobody Died at Sandy Hook.
This is the one book anybody should have that tells what really happened on that historic day, and also JFK, of course, and other things.
He is fantastic.
I'm so happy to have and proud to have him leading the charge here with Scott Bennett, who is also an author.
He wrote this book, Chill Game in Prison, and that's the story in itself.
And he's an amazing diplomat.
And we also have Brian Davidson, who's a private investigator out of Houston who knows And has keen insights that most people don't have.
So Jim, let's see what's going on.
I guess back east, we'll start back there.
Hegemony and things are taking the scene, right?
Well, Scott's being interviewed all over the place.
Here Sputnik is reporting his observations that the 50-year U.S.
hegemony in the Middle East is being challenged.
It is coming to an end.
In the next few years, the U.S.
may face hostility and frustration from people in the Middle East, Scott.
When a former U.S.
Army PSYOP warfare officer and State Department counterterrorism analyst told Sputnik, Washington is bracing for a possible new war in the Middle East, a scenario dangerous for Biden's re-election chances.
The U.S.
now faces further deterioration across the Middle East, a terrorist attack in Iran's Kerman, the ongoing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, the strikes in Lebanese Beirut, and other threats to increase tensions in the region, Bennett said.
America currently finds itself in a situation where its 50-year hegemony in the Middle East is being challenged.
He added that over the past 20 years, the U.S.
has substituted diplomacy for military intervention.
Actually, Scott, you may mean military intervention for diplomacy, and as a result offended and ostracized the majority, if not the totality, of Middle Eastern people, nations, and cultures.
As a result, There's a kind of socio-political sourness and growing hostility and frustration and suspicion evolving toward the United States.
With America rendering full-fledged support for Israel's war against the Palestinians, the environment has now become toxic.
Consequently, we're witnessing the toxicity of this relationship beginning to drive Middle Eastern countries to seek friendship and alliances with other nations, such as Russia and its consortium of BRICS.
This may push the U.S.
into a degree of political, military, and economic irrationality, if not hysteria, which could be manifest by military attacks.
He suggested that the U.S.
could take action against Yemen, Iran, Beirut, Lebanon, and other countries who might enter the Gaza conflict on the side of the Palestinians, the Yemenis, the Iranians, and the Russians.
When asked how the U.S.
may respond to the current regional crisis, Bennett replied America will react with its typical geopolitical cards, including economic sanctions against Yemen, Iran, Lebanon, and any other country siding with them.
He did not rule out U.S.
triggering missile strikes from its 46 naval vessels in the vicinity of the Red Sea against many targets, and possibly Iran, as well as targets in Lebanon and Syria, Which may include Russian targets in the vicinity, which could trigger a counter-strike by Yemen and Iran, resulting in the sinking of many U.S.
naval vessels, as well as the destruction of American bases in Iraq and Qatar, according to the former Army PSYOPS warfare officer.
Referring to the ongoing escalation in the Middle East, he pointed out, The current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which the Jewish state is facilitating, has become a nightmare because the U.S.
is alienating the Arab and Muslim people in the United States and Europe and endangering American diplomatic and military targets in the vicinity.
In addition, The West is being branded as a war criminal, seen increasingly as a hypocrite for aiding and abetting crimes against humanity by military, economic, and political support for Israel's apparent genocide of the Palestinian people.
This may be worsened by the revelation that Israel has been planning this operation and not simply responding to an attack by Hamas.
On October 7th, of course, the Palestinian movement Hamas launched an unprecedented large-scale rocket attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip.
As the fire breached the border and opened fire, killing civilians and military, Israel carried out retaliatory strikes, ordered complete blockade, and launched a ground invasion with the stated aim of eliminating Hamas and rescuing the hostages.
So far, over 21,800 have been killed in Gaza as a result of the Israeli attacks.
And, of course, we know that October 7th was aided and abetted by Israel.
Here's a tweet already deleted.
U.S.
military whistleblower Lt.
Scott Bennett dropped bombshell on Ukrainian bioweapon labs.
Originally started in 2005 with an events intelligence agency which created a 501c3 called the Global Viral Forecasting Institute with a Mossad operative.
It's already been deleted.
Look how much Scott's analysis corresponds to that of Colonel Douglas MacGregor.
I think that we have become increasingly isolated over a long period of time.
I would not attribute it exclusively to Netanyahu's dominance of the policymaking arena in Washington.
We have to go back and look at the last 30 years and the trouble that we have caused in many cases on a regional basis in Europe, as well as in the Middle East, to understand why our supposed partners and allies are increasingly silent and walking away from us.
And now, of course, with Europe in turmoil, thanks to the economic policies directed at Russia that failed miserably.
You add that to the situation in the Middle East where any of the Muslim states that had previously worked with us are now completely unwilling to do so.
You have a almost a global disaster.
Certainly everyone in Latin America, Africa, in the Far East, no one really is pleased with us or the way we do business.
And we continue to insist that that's not true, but it is.
Can you put your finger on one or two or three causes of this?
Is it our unbridled support for Israel and the perception that it is engaged in indiscriminate slaughter?
Is it our, going back to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, view of American exceptionalism?
Is it the $2 trillion we spent killing people in Afghanistan and Iraq, supposedly, to bring Western democracy there?
I think you're describing our foreign policy, which essentially amounts to playing risk with democracy.
Everything we do is, at least in theory, designed to promote liberal democracy wherever it does not exist.
To go to quote-unquote ungoverned spaces that impose order and ultimately liberal democracy.
Well, all of these have failed miserably, and ultimately over time people say, well, why are you really where you are?
Why are you in Iraq?
Why are you in Syria?
Why are you in Lebanon?
Why are you in Libya?
It doesn't make any difference.
Why are you interested in what's happening in Taiwan?
There are no armies prepping to invade Taiwan.
There's no interest in Taiwan or China in a war with anybody.
All of this revolves around an ideological construct that views the world through the lens of democracy, the way the Bolsheviks viewed the world through the lens of communism.
And ultimately, like the Bolsheviks, we've taken a position that anything we do is morally justified.
And that certainly is the position that Mr. Netanyahu has taken, and we have eagerly adopted it.
Let's bore down a little bit.
Since you and I last spoke, the Security Council of the United Nations voted 13 in favor, 1 against, since it was the U.S., it was effectively a veto, and 1 abstention.
on calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The abstention, of course, was the Brits, who you know better than I will always do what we ask them to do.
The U.S. explanation for vetoing this was, why give Hamas a chance to regroup?
How does that play in the international arena?
If you look at the actions that have been taken, look at the words that have been spoken, and you are an Arab, a Turk, an Iranian, who live somewhere in the Near East, North Africa, you conclude the following. - Okay.
All of us are effectively animals, subhuman.
We all deserve the worst.
And we are in a war today against Israel that is not anything like the wars that have been fought in the past.
This is not 1973 or 67.
This is not a short-term expedient to either expand the country or, for that matter, to simply have more defensible borders, which Israel has always wanted and every nation-state does.
This is now, in the minds of Arabs, Turks, and Iranians, a war for Jewish supremacy in the Middle East.
Full stop.
That's the war.
If you are in our way, you die.
There is no compromise, there is no negotiation, and there will be none.
Anyone who does not succumb to our power, who does not ultimately submit to what we want, is the enemy and will be destroyed.
Now, this is enabled by the United States, let there be no doubt about it.
Remember, most of us in the United States, I include myself in this category, are very sympathetic to the Israeli state.
We're sympathetic for reasons that go back 50, 60, 70 years.
But this is a fundamental change in the way the Israelis have done business in the past and the way they're going to do business from now on.
And that's why this war can only escalate.
This is not a war that's going to end in a couple of weeks or another month from now.
This is going to escalate well into next year and it's going to be a do-or-die proposition for everyone involved, especially Israel.
Here's the... Scott, I want your thoughts about all of the above, including, of course, your own commentary, my friend.
Go for it.
Well, you're right, Jim.
The original Sputnik article, what it was meant to say is they have replaced diplomacy with military interventionism.
They have replaced soft power, communications, reason, and economic leverage.
They've replaced all of that, which was the art of persuasion, the art of influencing, with military intervention, specifically bombs and bullets and mines and destroying things and blowing up buildings and causing misery and devastation in people's lives.
And the military-industrial complex, of course, are the profiteers of that.
And I think what struck me in the synopsis of all of this and the distillation of what McGregor's saying, I've been saying, Ritter said, you've said, many of us have said, is the world is now maturing out of the idea that the United States has been pursuing democracy around the world
To improve people's lives, to liberate them from caveman existence, to enlighten them and bring them up to a level of human happiness.
That was always the suspected motivation behind a lot of these interventions.
That's what Americans thought, many Europeans thought, naively of course, and the world was allowing us to project that mirage.
But the reality now is, Jim, is everyone has looked and they've sort of shaken their head and matured and woken out of it to go, wait a minute, it's not about what your motivations are because that we can't trust anymore, but it's about the consequences and the actions and the results of what your intervention but it's about the consequences and the actions and the results of And that shifts to the actual images of destroyed buildings,
blood pools and women and children and devastation from Afghanistan to Iraq to Syria to Libya and all of the devastation has also triggered a mass migration into Europe and is causing incredible social chaos in Europe.
I I saw a video where a pregnant woman in France was thrown off a bus by black African migrants.
I have been, I mean, I was furious.
I thought, my God, they're lucky those guys weren't killed.
But this is going to increasingly occur because of the devastation which the United States has initiated and been the spear point for.
So all of this is now becoming very, very apparent and it's coming to a climactic end in Israel's Gaza devastation.
And part of, I think, all of the stuff that's happening in Gaza is because of the COVID-19 vaccine, the mental degeneration that may have been caused in the minds of a lot of these politicians and such.
That's my suspicion.
The U.S.
is increasingly trying to alienate itself or shift itself away because the Israelis are now saying, we're going to move them all to the Congo.
Well, that's not going to go over well.
So all of these statements by the Israelis, all of these actions by the Israelis, all of the revelations of this being a planned PSYOP in Gaza to steal the land and steal the oil fields out in the ocean and build the alternative canal through Gaza, This is now manifesting and people don't remember October 7th.
They only look to what the Israelis are doing.
This is shifting the world away from the United States and it's only going to get worse.
I'll end it by saying the United States has already lost in Ukraine and the Middle East entirely.
Because of the public sentiment that's turned away from us.
The only thing we can do is try, the only wise thing would be to try and pull back and redefine our image and our entire political, social, spiritual identity.
But I don't see that coming either, because Our political media figures are so maniacal and so kamikaze, and I project, and I'm sad to say, I believe the West, America specifically, is going to set off bombs, nuclear bombs, trigger a war, trigger all sorts of violent, climactic, end result sort of flashbangs to try and cover up its retreat.
And that is only going to accelerate the world completely hating us.
And what does that mean, when the world completely hates us?
And we're moving in that direction, Jim.
They're not going to give us peace.
They're going to move from disenchantment and anger at the U.S.
to furious hatred of the U.S.
And what's going to happen then?
You're not going to have an embassy or a consulate in the world that belongs to the United States.
You're not going to have any American with a passport in any of these foreign countries.
You're not going to have the dollar allowed.
It's going to be outlawed in some of these countries.
I project that's happening and that will be, and you can say it could be designed that way, fine.
It's going to happen that way and the dollar is going to completely evaporate, burn up and go to zero.
Steven Pigeon and I talked about this.
This is what happened to the ruble in 1990.
It's going to happen to the United States.
And you're going to then have the United States as that leprous colony of Molokai in Hawaii that no one goes to, no one wants any part of.
And with the internal disruption of the alien immigrants that have been flooded in here by the Democrats, I project 2024 is going to be the most violent year in the United States.
Now we can we can resurrect ourselves out of the ashes of this, but it's going to be conservative traditional Republicans that are resurrected, that do not pursue this Israeli support agenda, but return us back to what George Washington said, which was Get out and stay out of foreign wars and foreign alliances.
And I hope we've learned our lesson after 50 years of death, destruction, military-industrial complex, enslavement, and the betrayal of everything that our founding fathers wanted for us.
Devoutly to be wished.
Brian?
Well, U.S.
hegemony For the past 80 years was largely based on the fact that we had the Industrial Revolution that took us into World War Two and we were fighting on what we what the American people saw in the world saw as a righteous battle against the Nazis.
So we've had moral high ground in addition to the economic advantages that came along with that generation.
Producing so much in terms of exports for America and so much money, and so the money and the power was sitting on a platform of democracy, a constitution, and a righteousness.
That righteousness has waned.
We don't do right anymore.
Fight for what's righteous.
We are using every dirty gypsy trick in the book around the world to try to control the machine.
We've adopted the Epstein-esque style control of our politicians.
I've seen more and more chatter about politicians being compromised, and I know who's compromising them, or at least we think we know who's compromising them.
It's a Mossad-CIA operation that's all designed for power and control to build the military-industrial complex and continue to push that.
The rest of the world still values righteousness and morality.
And why we've lost this is because we've lost what I consider to be our Christian and conservative roots.
Here in America, we don't even know who we are.
We're allowing the genocide of our culture every day with what's happening on the border.
We're allowing the genocide of our culture every day when we turn on another movie that's produced by some Israeli schmuck who's out there saying that the white man is bad and projecting all the characters as the bad white man.
Well, what the white man represented at one point in time was that old fair play British concept And that's what was developed in the West with the Puritans and the Westerners.
Well, that's not who we are anymore.
There are a few of us that still remain, but the rest of the world is beginning to see that we're just as dark and depraved as everybody else, or at least as the Jews are.
And yes, we're losing our hegemony.
There's nobody joining our coalition to fight against the Houthis and the Red Sea.
Nobody wants to be a part of that.
The rest of the world in the Middle East is now turning against America and Israel, and you know what?
We've got it coming.
We've got it coming because we haven't done anything righteous, not even our democracy, nothing.
That's all I have to say.
Well, I completely agree.
We've gone from the most admired and respected nation of the world to most despised and reviled, along with our gallant ally in the Middle East.
I think we've earned it exactly as you suggest.
Meanwhile, Israel demands U.S.
wage war against Iran to install a new government.
It's time for the U.S.
and its allies to bring down the Iranian regime.
Yes, use American forces to perform wars on behalf of Israel.
That's the whole idea.
It's not enough for the U.S.
to simply send cash and weapons to Israel so it can wage war on Gaza.
Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett believes the U.S.
also has a responsibility to wage war on Iran in order to impose regime change on behalf of Israel.
In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, he sought to make the case America has a duty to fight Israel's war with Iran to bring down their regime.
The Iranian regime is at the center of most of the Middle East problems and much of global terror, which is utter nonsense, of course, yet inexplicably almost nobody is touching it.
For the last 45 years, the regime has been the source of endless war, terror, and suffering throughout the world.
I've come to realize that enough is enough.
The evil empire of Iran must be brought down.
This is about as absurd as it gets, since Iran is the most peaceful great nation on earth, having not launched a war upon any other nation, a war of aggression, since 1775.
There are many examples in Bennett's op-ed about things America could do better to please Israel, including empowering domestic opposition.
He wants America to ensure internet continuity during riots against the regime, meaning censoring any criticism of Israel, and to strengthen Iran's enemies while increasing sanctions and economic pressure on Iran.
Israel can't and shouldn't do this alone.
Instead, the U.S.
needs to be leading the effort in ensuring that Israel's goals are achieved, including dismantling the Iranian government.
This doesn't require a full-scale war.
Just as the demise of the Soviet Union didn't result from total war, rather, the Soviet Union collapsed from internal rot coupled with external pressure applied by the U.S.
In sum, he claims the U.S.
must do what Israel's demanding by setting a clear goal of bringing down Iran's evil regime.
No matter what, he believes the U.S.
has a responsibility to take down Iran on behalf of Israel, vital for the safety and security of the Middle East and the entire civilized world.
Israel has previously convinced the United States to assassinate the Iranian general Qasem Soleimani by supplying intel to U.S.
officials, painting Soleimani as an imminent threat, which he most certainly was not.
Just like with the Iraq debacle, Israel then proceeded to fail to back up the effort.
Our special relationship with Israel is a completely one-sided endeavor, isolating us from the entire world, quote Chris Menehan, for information liberation.
Meanwhile, Mike Whitney writes, is Uncle Sam being duped into fighting Israel's war?
This week's drone strike on a senior Hamas official in southern Beirut provides compelling evidence Israel wants to expand the conflict beyond its borders.
In the past few weeks, Israel has assassinated a deputy political leader of Hamas, a senior advisor to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, and nearly a dozen other senior Iranian military officials at an airport in Damascus.
At the same time, Israel has launched multiple unprovoked airstrikes on Lebanon and Syria, all of which suggest Israel is exploring ways to expand the hostilities beyond Gaza in order to plunge the entire region into war.
Dr. Michael Schenck tweets, Come on!
Subheader!
Suggests a regional war could draw in the U.S.
like it's being led versus leading.
The Department of Defense is very much creating this moment.
Don't position it as responsive.
It's very proactive.
Here's the New York Times.
Attacks heighten fears of a wider war for the Middle East and the U.S.
Israeli provocations are an attempt to draw the U.S.
deeper into a region-wide conflict.
Israeli leaders know their country will not become the dominant regional power unless its enemies, namely Hezbollah and Iran, are severely weakened.
But Israel also realizes its enemies will not be weakened without U.S.
assistance.
Thus, the United States must be put in a situation where it feels compelled to engage Iran and Hezbollah militarily in order to rescue its closest ally in the Middle East.
If Israel opens up a two or three front war with its enemies, as it's seeking to do, the United States will be forced to intervene, increasing the probability Israel will emerge as a regional hegemon.
That is the underlying goal.
None of this, of course, has anything to do with defeating Hamas.
Pretext, Israel used to obliterate Gaza and push its population toward the Egyptian border or, as Scott observed, Congo or other God-forsaken regions.
Get them out of Israel!
The real objective is to change the basic power dynamics in the Middle East in a way that best suits Israel's interests.
Here, for example, the fact that Israel feels so free to annihilate a Palestinian people while the world watches should terrify all of us.
The assassination of Al Arora was no more a spontaneous act of revenge than the attacks on Syria, Lebanon, or Gaza.
They're all part of a grand plan to redraw the map of the Middle East by provoking Israel's enemies and then drawing Washington into the hostilities.
That's the basic strategy in a nutshell.
Here's how Arnon Bertrand summed it up.
Israel is doing its very best to trigger a regional war by bombing Lebanon and Iran left and right, presumably to get the U.S.
more involved in the fighting.
It's some sort of Hail Mary.
But neither Lebanon nor Iran nor the U.S.
are taking the bait.
Bertrand is right.
Israel is trying to drag the U.S.
into a war of its own making.
He's also right, saying Iran and Hezbollah have shown great restraint so far, resisting the temptation to retaliate.
But how long will that last?
They can't allow Israel to pummel them forever without responding.
They can't simply roll over and play dead either.
And that's not what they're doing.
They are following events as they unfold, so they have a better idea of Israel's broader strategy, biding their time while Israel moves its troops out of Gaza, up to the northern front, where they're likely to clash with Hezbollah militants sometime in the next two weeks.
That appears to be what's going on.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, we've seen this show before and it always ends with the theater being burned down and that is Netanyahu's smirking out the side of his mouth as he pounds the table in an attempt to psychologically bully the audience in Congress or elsewhere and demanding that they send their sons and daughters to die for Israel's wars.
And this is, I mean, this is the most blatant, arrogant, I mean, expression of that.
I mean, shameless!
In this specific demand and call to say Americans need to go and regime change Iran.
I mean, even the Israelis in Netanyahu 10, 20 years ago were a little more subtle, but now, I mean, there's no shame, there's no filter, there's no restraint, and that's why I seriously suspect
This COVID-19 vaccine has lobotomized a lot of these people, and perhaps that explains why they are so gleeful and bloodthirsty and celebratory when they're destroying women and children in schools in Gaza, these Israeli soldiers.
And there's a mental decay.
And this isn't me.
This has been also said by Max Blumenthal.
Uh, who, uh, has been over there.
I mean, he's, he's, he's a very solid source of a lot of this stuff.
He said there's a mental, uh, degeneration problem breakdown that's happening in the Israeli mind.
So, I, This whole agenda to do a regime change Iran, again, we have already lost in the Middle East.
There is no hope of the United States having any A victory in the Middle East, because even if you burn everything down, that's eventually going to lead to burning of your country down.
That's the most alarming thing.
This fire that we are constantly igniting around the world is only going to blow back upon us and burn down everything in the United States.
But perhaps you need to have that forest fire in order for green shoots of new Uh, you know, Republican political, you know, institutions rise up.
So, it's going to backfire.
It's not going to work.
Iran's not going to fall.
Russia's not going to let it fall.
That's what was told to me when I was in Russia.
And by the way, Jim, there's some Striking information that we can bring out in part two about what's newly happening in Russia.
But this whole episode with Iran and regime change and Iraq is now again demanding the West and specifically the United States leave Iraqi soil.
Never before have we had such a villainous title and a villainous, monstrous image to these Middle Eastern people and Arabic regimes like we do now.
The Saudis are going to turn their back on us completely in a matter of months.
The big flashpoint that's going to happen too is India.
India, to I think their stupidity, has a lot of Indian soldiers fighting and killing Palestinians in Israel.
So India is going to suffer from this.
That may explain what is going to happen between the Pakistanis and the Kashmiri Muslims against Indians.
So, I predict India is going to get into this fight in a very ugly way that is going to cause all sorts of problems, if not burn down a lot of the Indian government.
India, I mean, the Hindus in India are equally lunatic, maniacal as the Israelis are, but we're witnessing this whole thing morph into quite a forest fire.
And these claims to do regime change, it's gonna fall nowhere.
The other thing is people like Lindsey Graham who've been videotaped sodomizing little boys on the Epstein files, all of that is going to come out.
And the videos that the FBI have had, That's going to cause an enormous meltdown in the U.S.
and that may also precipitate the nuclear or major U.S.
military operations to try and distract away from those blackmail videotape revelations.
Jim?
Well, these problems are here because we have a lack of leadership.
Can you imagine Joe Biden making a decision about whether we're going to Work with Israel to take out Iran?
Iran's been after nukes ever since Israel started their formation process post-World War II.
Tehran is a city of 8 million people.
Iran is strategic allies with Russia.
They have invested a tremendous amount of money into all sorts of military weapons, all sorts of hypersonic missiles, They're a superpower in drone warfare.
Very serious weaponage over there.
And they're sitting on one of the largest or the second largest gas reserve in the world.
They've got resources.
Now, granted, minimum wage is $134 a month in Iran.
So there is a section of their culture and a section of their population that's very, very poor.
But what you've got to remember About Iran is that they have two years of compulsory military service among their youngsters.
They can fight and they can fight on the water as well.
They have over a hundred islands that they manage or that are part of Iran out there in the Caspian Sea.
They're a very serious power and we're not taking seriously our leadership role in this game.
We need a leader who's going to step up and say what we will do and what we won't do and do proper bureaucratic negotiations to try to end this thing before it gets out of control.
But I'm beginning to believe that the Israelis or those at the top of the Israeli machine They really do want to see the destruction of the entire world, and they don't care if a few hundred thousand Jews get nuked in the process.
They don't care.
They will sacrifice those people for that level of power.
So I'm deeply concerned.
And they'll sacrifice America.
They don't give a shit about the United States except as a resource they can expend on behalf of Israel.
It's outrageous.
That's exactly how it is, and we have to realize it.
Meanwhile, Biden's Sea Coalition sinks his allies' jump ship among the Houthi onslaught.
This is a fascinating development.
The Biden admin's touted effort to corral a coalition to safeguard the sea from missiles and drone attack by the Houthis has hit rough water.
Defense Secretary Austin had grandly introduced the Operation Prosperity Guardian during a trip to the Middle East, proudly highlighting the alliance of several nations, including the UK, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sicily, and Spain.
However, France, Italy, and Spain have all backed out.
Opting to conduct patrols under the umbrella of NATO or the European Union.
Ditching the United States-led coalition, leaving Biden red-faced.
Who can eff up a coalition like Joe Biden, of course?
Biden admins' naval coalition warring failed to deter more hootie attacks in the Red Sea.
To make matters worse, There have been a whopping nine more Houthi attacks since the coalition's inception, despite Austin's warning for the militia to cease their irresponsible and dangerous behavior.
These attacks have disrupted a significant portion of the international shipping traffic passing through the Red Sea, forcing shipping companies to seek alternative, longer, and pricier routes.
In adding salt to the wound, the U.S.
military has yet to take any direct action against who the force is responsible for these attacks, while the Pentagon has been tight-lipped about the Pacific Coalition operation.
They've sought to reassure the public by likening it to a highway patrol for global shipping and mariners in the area.
The coalition has signed zones bans from the Suez to the Gulf of Aden, covering a distance akin to traveling from Boston to Washington, D.C.
And if that weren't enough, the assaults aren't isolated.
They've occurred alongside attacks by Iran-backed groups on U.S.
forces in Iraq and Syria.
The Biden admin has displayed a level of reluctance to respond aggressively with just a few retaliatory strikes and refraining entirely from engaging the Houthi force.
A Democrat strategist noted that diplomatic outreach to Tehran has been a focal point of Biden's foreign policy, elucidating the administration's callousness in confronting Iran.
However, This approach has come under fire with calls for a tougher stance and clear warning to Iran that a U.S.
military is prepared to defend peace and security in the Middle East, as though attacking Iran would have anything to do with that.
Meanwhile, why hasn't the U.S.
secured Red Sea shipping routes?
U.S.
oil exports have increased by 1.37 million barrels a day since the Houthis began attacking ships.
Brian Shilhavy of Health Impact News reports, a headline earlier stated ships are still not passing through the Red Sea as Biden's Operation Prosperity Guardian fails.
In an article I published on December 23rd, Brian Shevely writes, I speculate the Red Sea shipping disruption might actually benefit the United States, which might be a reason why the U.S.
has not taken such action to open the shipping lanes.
Most of the oil that flows through the Red Sea is oil on its way to Europe, which may explain why the U.S.
has taken so long to respond to the Houthi attacks, since the disruptions of commerce there may actually benefit the U.S.
It appears I was correct.
As reported today in the Financial News, U.S.
petroleum exports have climbed by 1.377 million barrels a day since the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
Why the Red Sea chaos is diving oil buyers into the arms of U.S.
shale producers.
Middle East transport woes could push U.S.
crude export to record.
Attacked by Iran-backed Houthi rebels on vessels in the Red Sea have led to transport disruptions for oil and other goods.
But international oil shippers may have found a way to deal with the chaos.
The latest data from the Energy Information Administration offers a hint.
The report from the government agency shows surprisingly large weekly increases in gasoline and distillate supplies, contributing to losses for Energy Futures on Thursday.
But Robert Yager, executive director for Energy Futures, also highlighted another key figure, a weekly jump.
In U.S.
petroleum exports, which climbed 1.377 million barrels a day to 5.292 million barrels a day for the week that ended on December 29.
For the first time since the Houthi and many rebels started to attack international shipping, we are seeing a spike in U.S.
exports, said Yager.
Apparently, international shippers are worried about being attacked on the open sea and are going to And are getting beat on the cost of sailing around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa as an alternative to the passage of the Red Sea.
Instead, the safer and cheaper way to procure supply, especially for the EU, is to sail the boat to the U.S.
Gulf Coast and load up on cheap U.S.
oil.
Will this news finally wake up European countries to the fact that the U.S.
wars are destroying their economy as the U.S.
prospers?
The Ukraine-Russia war was literally turned off the pipeline to Europe's cheapest natural gas sources from Russia, including blowing up one of those pipelines, which greatly benefited the U.S.
as they are now the world's largest exporter of natural gas, as was just published yesterday.
U.S.
crowned, world's top LNG exporter.
The United States has become the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, surpassing Qatar and Australia for the first time.
The U.S.
surpassed Qatar, previously crowned king of LNG exporters, in 2022, after export volumes dropped for the first time in 2016 by 1.9%.
Australia ranked second.
Most U.S.
LNG exports depart from terminals across the Gulf Coast with top destinations in the Netherlands, the U.K., and France for the first half of 2023.
The U.S.
only joined the LNG export scene in 2016 amid an abundance of shale gas and growing demand for glass globally more than a year later.
The U.S.
stands as the largest beneficiary of the destruction of Russia's Nord Stream Pipeline under the Baltic.
There's also ample evidence the Israeli-Amos War is first and foremost a war about natural gas reserves in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Gaza.
Is the Palestinian war really a religious war or a war to control petroleum and gas in the Middle East?
The Biden admin is facing increasing pressure to do something about the Houthis and open up the sea lanes.
But even if the U.S.
were to start operations in the Red Sea that also attack positions inside Yemen, The conflict could go on for a long time, and the U.S.
could certainly suffer casualties as a blood of American Navy members spills into the Red Sea, all in the name of protecting and expanding the U.S.
petroleum market and the crumbling Rockefeller empire.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, the thing that has always alarmed me and disgusted me is the lack of European identity as what they used to have.
I mean, my mom's side were all from Scotland and in the 1960s and 70s and 80s, you know, Europe was a much different place, a better place than what it is now.
Now it is a flea infested with migrant Africans that have flooded the country and multiculturalism and Liberal, globalist, leftist Democrats and their ideological religion of climate change and depopulation.
I mean, Europe is becoming increasingly morally decadent and diseased, and it's bowing down to its own destruction in this Rand Corporation document.
And I know Rand Very well.
I remember the Rand Corporation preceding the Arab Spring.
I'll never forget certain meetings where I was there.
They were planning all of this in 2008.
They were planning all of this in 2008.
In 2008, they were planning the whole Arab Spring, and they've been at the seat of a lot of these great global tumults.
And what I think is gonna happen, of course, we're about to hit a major corrective action.
And I think the correction is becoming very, very apparent.
The correction in Ukraine and Russia started with Russia's military intervention to stop the genocide of the Russian-speaking people by the NATO-backed military.
And I might add that comment about the tweet about The biolabs and starting with Global Viral Forecasting Institute and the Mossad operative Nathan Wolf who put together the Global Viral Forecasting Institute.
That was said on a press TV interview way back when all of this opened up in the spring of 2020.
So, you know, all of these corrective actions are coming.
The COVID-19 revelation of the great falsity, the Ukraine war, and now the Israeli genocide of Gaza for the energy, and the U.S.
blowing up Nord Stream 2 pipeline, I think this is, again, going to result In a detachment of U.S.
relations and a defriending of the U.S.
and a reorientation of alliances in a very politically paradigm shift revolution that could be quiet or loud, but I think it's going to be inevitable, Jim.
How could Europe continue to regard us as a friend and ally when we destroyed the pipeline to benefit ourselves at their expense, Scott?
This is so disgraceful.
Brian, your thoughts?
Well, we're having a very difficult time controlling the result of the crimes that we commit.
One of the major crimes that we've committed is that we, as a people, have neglected to expose the false flags.
Why we didn't expose October 7th tells it all.
We could have exposed that.
Our mainstream media could have exposed it.
They're going to be behind it the entire time.
Every time I dig into a file, one of the first questions I always ask when putting together a theory about why a crime was committed is, who benefits?
Where's the money?
Follow the money.
You have any idea how many crimes out there are committed as a result of somebody trying to earn or get an extra dollar?
We're doing the same thing with these gas reserves.
So, that said, until we start exposing Israeli false flags, until we start exposing them instead of using them, We're going to have a very difficult time in terms of controlling the rest of the world, because I can tell you that every nation in the world, there are top people that know that October 7th was a false flag.
And when you ask why, why, why, why, why gentrification, gas reserves, whatever it happens to be, it's never the reason that it appears on paper.
What's underneath the hood on these crimes is going to be this An appetite for mammon.
That's all there is to it.
And the problem that we've got now is that we're in a position where Israel and the United States are going to have to commit a number of false flag attacks to try to gain the support from the military-industrial complex to try to do this thing in Iran.
So pay attention, watch out, because it's coming.
They will sink their own ships, they will attack their own people, they will kill their own people.
Just like Pearl Harbor, they will kill our people.
We will allow them, or we will be directly or indirectly involved somehow.
So there's going to be false flags which drive us into another war, World War III even, which they can use to depopulate, although that's not a very effective strategy.
I think the strategy that they've been using against the culture has been much more effective, which is the birth control and the abortions and the Cultural things that they're doing, the gayness and all that, that doesn't produce any children.
But until we are willing to expose a false flag, which I think is why our channel is so important.
It's something that we specialize in.
It's something that we should do well.
And nobody else is willing to do it.
So I think it's important to stay tuned and see if we can, if we can break these things out as they develop.
Very.
Yeah, Scott, go ahead.
Let me just say real quickly what Brian said is powerful and what I anticipate them doing is saying that a power station or something has been blown up by Iranian agents that have come across the southern border.
Because of the southern border being invaded by the Biden and Democrat failure, you will have a Republican rise up and they will throw, as they've been throwing all their weight behind Israel, Tom Cotton and all of these Republicans have thrown their weight against Israel.
They will do a false flag, blow up something major, call it being done by the Iranians.
That will cause the Biden administration to completely collapse, a Republican rise, but will rise with this, it's us against the terrorists, and we need to go and go against Iran, and Trump may be part of that bandwagon, but I perceive a political shift with a Republican That's how you get the military-industrial complex in a political shift.
You cause a false flag.
You blame it on the Biden administration.
That causes a Republican rise.
You'll see the rhetoric.
They'll do this before election, of course.
You'll see the political rhetoric.
We need to make America great again and go and stop the Iranians from ever doing this again.
Vote Republican.
And I perceive you'll have that complete sea change in politics based on this sort of an event.
Jim?
Well, I think that's a very, very troubling prospect, Scott.
And of course, the report we're talking about is mentioned here.
Alleged Rand Corporation leaked document before Ukraine war shows U.S.
planned the European energy crisis and economic collapse to save the U.S.
economy.
Here's Brian Shilhavy again.
A Swedish online daily claims to have obtained an internal leaked document from the U.S.
military think tank RAND Corporation that was published on January 25th, 2022, about a month before Russia invaded Ukraine.
The report states that it weakened Germany and weakened Europe with strength in the U.S.
economy by having them involved in sanctions against Russia as a result of the Ukraine conflict, which would cut off their energy supplies and collapse their economy.
The report begins.
The present state of the U.S.
economy does not suggest it can function without financial and material support from external sources.
The quantitative easing policy, which the Fed has resorted to regularly in recent years, As well as the uncontrolled issue of cash, during the 2020 and 2021 COVID lockdowns have led to a sharp increase in external debt and in the dollar supply.
The continuing deterioration of the economic situation is likely to lead to a loss in the position of the Democrat Party in Congress and the Senate in the forthcoming election to be held in November 2022.
The impeachment of the president cannot be ruled out under these circumstances, which must be avoided at all costs.
They're talking about protecting Biden.
And of course, we know they stole some 57 seats in the House that the Republicans had bonafiably won in 2022, and several Senate seats as well.
There's an urgent need for resources to flow into the national economy, especially the banking system.
Only European countries bound by EU and NATO commitments will be able to provide them without significant military and political costs for us, the United States.
He goes on to state that Germany is a key European country that needs to be toppled economically for an increase in the flow of resources from Europe to the U.S.
The document outlines how to do this, namely by drawing Germany and Europe into the Ukrainian conflict by participating in sanctions against Russia that would cut off the flow of cheap energy from Russia.
This research report was distributed to the White House Chief of Staff, the Department of State, CIA, NSA, and the Democratic National Committee a month before Russia invaded Ukraine.
The idea that Germany and Europe were the real threats to the U.S., not Russia, was a concept we first published here at Health Impact News back in June, when we published two articles by Sam Parker.
He actually made the bold statement that Russia is not America's enemy, but instead Europe is.
Here's an excerpt.
Competition is a sin.
This is the motto of the Rockefeller family.
America's real adversaries are its European and other allies.
The U.S.
aim is to keep them from trading with China and Russia.
The creation of NATO was designed by Nelson Rockefeller to keep Germany down, Russia out, and the U.S.
in.
Today's sanctions regime is aimed inward to prevent America's NATO and other Western allies from opening up more trade and investment with Russia and China.
The aim is not so much to isolate Russia and China as to hold these allies firmly within America's own economic orbit—the Treaty of Rapallo.
On August 16, 1922, in Genoa, Italy, the German delegation dropped a bomb whose shockwaves reached across the Atlantic geopolitically.
German Foreign Minister Walter Rather now announced that Germany and the Soviet Union had entered into a bilateral agreement, whereby Russia agreed to forgive its war claims on Germany in return for German agreements to sell industrial technology to the Soviet Union.
There is an historical and natural impulse between Germany and Russia that began then, after the end of World War I. Defeated Germany needed to rebuild its economy.
A deal was done whereby Russia would supply Germany with the new materials in return for which Germany would supply Russia with industrial goods and advanced technology.
Both needed the other.
It was a win-win deal formalized in Genoa in 1922 called the Treaty of Rapallo.
It produced an immediate panic reaction in both the Rothschild houses in London and Paris.
This was due to the Rothschild Shell Oil working and scheming to take control of Russia's war-ravaged Baku oil fields.
The Rothschilds were determined to secure monopoly rights to develop and control the vast Russian oil fields.
Worse for the Rothschilds.
Certain provisions of the Rappolo Treaty included a major infusion of German machinery, equipment, steel, and other technology sold to Russia for rebuilding and expansion of the Baku oil fields.
A British response was not long in arriving.
Walter Rathenau was killed by British intel in June, two months after the treaty was signed.
From that moment until now, first London, then after 1945, Washington, worked hard to ensure no similar deals worked between these two nations, for such a commercial union to be born between Germany and Russia.
It proved to be a big win-win for the whole of Eurasia.
This trade bond would draw the other Eurasian Asian to join the German-Russian trade bloc in such a scenario.
There'd be no need for either Britain or America in this new mix.
And that is the key point to note, folks.
That's what's going on here.
What worries American diplomats is that Germany, other NATO nations, and countless along the Belt and Road Route understand the gains that can be made by opening up peaceful trade and investment.
Is there no Russian or Chinese plan to invade or bomb them?
If there is none, what's the need for NATO?
And if there's no inherently adversarial relationship, why do foreign countries need to sacrifice their own trade and financial interests by relying exclusively on U.S.
exporters and investors instead of a real military threat from Russian China?
The problem for American strategists is the absence of such a threat.
America's rising pressure on its allies threatens to drive them out of the U.S.
orbit for over 75 years.
They have little practical alternative to U.S.
hegemony, but that's now changing.
America no longer has the monetary power.
The threat to U.S.
dominance is from China, Russia, and Mackinder's Eurasian world island, Heartland, which are offering better trade and investment opportunities than available from the U.S., with its increasingly desperate demand for sacrifices from its NATO and other allies.
The most glaring example is the U.S.
drive to block Germany from authorizing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to obtain Russian gas for the coming cold weather.
The only way left for a U.S.
diplomat to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest.
Europe is to impose sanctions as a cause of rising energy and agricultural prices, giving priority to imports from the United States and foregoing Russia, Belarusian and other linkages outside the dollar area.
What seems ironic is that such sanctions against Russia and China have ended up helping rather than hurting them.
Ever since the closing years of World War II, U.S.
diplomacy has aimed at locking Britain, France, and especially defeated Germany and Japan to becoming U.S.
economic and military dependencies.
Financial power has enabled America to continue dominating Western diplomacy despite being forced off gold in 1971 as a result of balance of payment costs of its overseas military spending.
U.S.
drives to keep its European and East Asian protectorates locked into its own sphere of influence is threatened by the emergence of China and Russia independently of the United States, while the U.S.
economy is de-industrializing as a result of its own deliberate policy choices, such as NAFTA.
America has lost its industrial cost advantage by the sharp rise in the cost of living and doing business in its financialized post-industrial renter economy.
What this means is the Western economies have become financialized.
An economy that produces very little of its own goods is not a stable economy.
Rather, it's the fire, finance, insurance, real estate, and services that underpins Western economies.
And it all revolves around the dollar paradigm.
The dollar is backed by nothing tangible but a promise.
Thus, these economies built on lies are not sustainable.
Eventually, a financial economy becomes a parasite, living off the sweat of others who produce goods or have resources.
This is a background.
For U.S.
fury at its failure to seize Russia's oil resources, and at seeing Russia also break free militarily to create its own arms exports, which are now typically better and far less costly than those of the United States.
In parallel with the trade war against China, the CIA was preparing a war against Russia.
Since the Anglo-Saxon geopolitical tradition considered Russia the main obstacle to establishing world domination of U.S.
and British power and financial elite, In addition, the U.S.
used the monetary and financial front of the hybrid war against the Russian Federation.
Already in 2014, they introduced the first financial sanctions and knocked out a significant part of Western loans from the Russian economy.
Now we're witnessing the next phrase, when they have actually disconnected Russia from the world monetary and financial system they dominate.
Anglo-Saxon geopolitics is traditionally oriented against the Russian Empire and its successors, the USSR and the Russian Federation, because, since the days of the British Empire, Russia has been seen as the main opponent of the Anglo-Saxons.
After weakening of the PRC did not work out through a trade war, the Americans transferred the main blow of their military and political power to Russia, which they consider to be a weak link in world geopolitics and economics.
In addition, The Anglo-American bloc seeks to establish dominance over Russia and at the same time weakening China because the strategic alliance of the Russian Federation and China is too tough for the United States.
They have neither the economic nor military power to destroy them together.
In 2008, the financial crisis broke out, and it became clear that the transition to a new technological order was beginning, and the old world economic core and the previous management system no longer ensured sustainable economic development.
China is now leading the way, but on three conditional fronts, monetary, financial, where the U.S.
still dominates the world, trade, economic, where they have already lost a barrier in China, In information warfare, where the Americans also have superior technologies.
They use all three in an attempt to keep the initiative and maintain the hegemony of their corporation.
And finally, the fourth front is biological, which opened with the advent of the coronavirus.
Today, we see a whole network of U.S.
biological laboratories open globally.
So the U.S.
has long been preparing to open the biological front of the World War V, and most obvious is the front of combat fighting as a last tool for forcing the states that they control into unquestioning obedience.
I think this is a fantastic report that really exposes a deep underbelly of international geopolitics, and I look forward to your comments when we return after this break.
Don, take us.
Oh, yes.
Wow, what a segment that was, Jim.
No, you covered the whole world there, and it's really heavy, and the truth is hard to handle, and the news is over so many lies.
It just Really hard.
But you've got to come back so we can get the analysis of what Jim just talked about.
So it was really a fantastic hour plus here and come back for the second hour.
You're going to need to prepare as we enter 2024.
God bless.
