	Well, this is Jim Fetzer, your host on the Raw Deal right here on Revolution Radio Studio B. Getting organized.
	Things are a bit diss.
	I have Keith Rogers with me today.
	We're talking about the Israeli attack on Iran.
	And Paul from California.
	And...
	I want to begin by giving you an opportunity for an overview, Keith.
	Go ahead, give us what you think is going on here.
	Have an overview, please, if you would.
	All right.
	Well, good morning, everyone.
	This is all part of a planned thing which dates way back to the Brookings Institute, where it was...
	And, of course, Israel is used as the backdrop to this.
	As you hear everything about Iran's nuclear program, it's totally mute about Israel's nuclear program.
	But they're using this because Iran is one of the keystone members of BRICS.
	And it's also to thwart anything that China could do because China depends on Iran's oil.
	Just as much as a proxy war in Ukraine, where they're using Ukraine against Russia, which is another BRICS member.
	And that's why we're seeing the flare-up down in South Africa with the Bikini Faso and stuff.
	This is all about Henry Kissinger's NSSM 200, where the United States will require large, vast amounts of resources.
	But anyway, anyone.
	This is where, for decades, the United States has waged these wars to control all minerals and resources so that they can always come out on top.
	And I've always said, so, at what cost?
	The same thing with Venezuela and stuff.
	When John Bolton says they don't care about Venezuela, it's just the oil fields.
	So, this goes down to Guyana, too, there.
	Israel is the pivot portion here to where they're using it for Israel's national security.
	But in it, this document from Brookings, it says that they're willing to use Israel as a scapegoat, I guess you'd call it, because they can make it look rogue.
	This is why there has been so much debate, italics, about the Bibi and Trump.
	Disillusion with each other and stuff.
	It's all been a setup like that to make it look like Israel's a rogue state so that when Israel does something, like Israel carries out an attack like that, the United States can distance itself.
	However, if you're in the news right now, you'll find out that this entire attack was totally coordinated by the United States.
	They used the...
	And this is openly acknowledged by Israel, see?
	So this is, again, trying to provoke Iran into doing something against the United States military so that the U.S. has a provocation type scenario here.
	And that Brookings Institute also goes on to talk about that and whether they should put.
	But as we know, the United States does not have a military force today, as highlighted by Scott Ritter and others, with Larry Johnson and all, that they've basically decimated their military, especially with those damn COVID shots.
	But they're looking for a way to do a total regime change in Iran to westernize it, just like I've mentioned before with the billion-dollar T-shirt trade in South Africa.
	This is to bring in all the logos and stuff of Western corporations and stuff to make people want to be westernized.
	Well, let me give us a little background here.
	Daily Signal reports.
	Israel carries out strikes against Iran.
	Israel carried out strikes against Iran Thursday evening, according to multiple reports.
	The IDF launched a preemptive, precise, combined offensive to strike Israel's nuclear program.
	Now, remember, this whole nuclear thing is purely peaceful nuclear energy.
	Iran has the entitlement to do that.
	It was even initiated by the Atoms for Peace project way back when.
	The U.S. was instrumental in getting them started and having a generation of electricity using nuclear power plants.
	Claiming it's preemptive is to suggest there was an imminent threat from Iran to strike Israel, which is categorically false.
	So we have the big liars, then whom no one exceeds Bibi Netanyahu.
	Here's more about it.
	Dozens of IAF jets completed the first stage, including strikes on dozens of military targets, including nuclear in different areas of Iran.
	Friday morning in Jerusalem reporting today, Israel is closer than ever to obtaining a nuclear weapon.
	Categorically false.
	They have no desire for nuclear weapons.
	They've disavowed nuclear weapons.
	There's no reason to think it's all...
	Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Iranian regime are an existential threat to the state of Israel and to the wider world, I would say.
	Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Israel are an existential threat to the rest of the world, including, of course, Iran.
	The IDF added, Israel has no choice.
	But it will fulfill the Obligation Act in defense of its citizens and will continue to do so everywhere it's required to do so as we've done in the past.
	We have lots of videos here.
	Here is one showing some of the attacks taking place.
	Explosions across Iran tonight.
	By the way, this appears to have been very cleverly staged.
	Very cleverly staged.
	This is a fight for our survival, Netanyahu said in a video message.
	If we don't act now, we won't be here.
	Categorically false, just ridiculous.
	A strike campaign called Operation Rising Lion will continue for as many days as it takes to resolve this threat.
	Here we have Netanyahu with a recorded message.
	Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation.
	To roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival.
	This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.
	For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction.
	They've backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.
	In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium For nine atom bombs.
	Nine.
	In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before.
	Steps to weaponize thus enriched uranium.
	And if not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time.
	It could be a year, it could be within a few months, less than a year.
	This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival.
	We've heard this bullshit from Netanyahu for decade upon decade upon decade.
	It's always next week Iran's going to have the bomb.
	And when next week comes and goes, he says, so we'll find out next week.
	It's all bullshit.
	Secretary of State Rubio said Thursday night the U.S. is not involved in the strikes against Iran and our top priority of protecting American forces in the region.
	Israel advised us.
	They believe the action was necessary for self-defense.
	President Trump and the admin have taken all necessary steps to protect the war forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners.
	Let us be clear.
	Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.
	But we have Donald Trump himself declaring that if Iran doesn't go to the bargaining table, You know, without a nuclear deal, there are going to be more brutal attacks.
	Here, Iran vows to continue nuclear activities among threat of more Israeli strikes.
	There's an emerging report of possibly more waves of Israeli attacks.
	State media reporting new loud blasts here nearing the air base in West Iran.
	Netanyahu has vowed to keep up the attacks as long as necessary to degrade and destroy Iran's nuclear program, which they ran as long defended as only for peaceful nuclear energy purposes.
	We've had the inspectors there before.
	There was an earlier agreement.
	Trump pulled out of the earlier agreement.
	I think he pulled out of the earlier agreement for the purpose of setting this up.
	I'm convinced Trump is as deeply involved in this as Benjamin Netanyahu.
	Paul, your thoughts.
	Well, it's hard to quibble with anything that Keith said.
	In fact, I think that's one of the more precise narratives that I've heard on any network.
	I think it's precisely correct.
	I think that we should get involved and call our operation the Big, beautiful Middle East intervention on the part of the United States.
	We've got to help our pal Israel out because, as you know, their very survival was in danger, Jim.
	We've got a break.
	We've got a break here.
	We're connected and we've got a break.
	Why does that always happen to me?
	You're white.
	Always.
	You've got to be quiet during the break.
	That's it.
	Thank you.

	And now we return you to your host.
	Thank you.
	Well, here we have multiple reports.
	Axios is reporting Trump has publicly been pretending to oppose the attacks, but it's just a posture.
	I'm sorry to say, I think Donald Trump is standing in the world and going down big time here.
	I don't like this at all.
	Please do continue with your thoughts before you were so rudely interrupted.
	Go for it.
	Well, I didn't have a whole lot more to add, to be honest with you, other than the attempted quips there, you know, and a little bit of humor.
	But, I mean, it's not like they don't telegraph their punches, right?
	Everything that they, you know, say they're anticipating, you know, to do, you know, they build up and they build up and they build up and they build up and then they do it.
	You know, and if we're to wonder why, none of these countries really ever tries to strike back in any substantial way since, what, 73 or 72 was the last time, you know, prior to that, the so-called 1967, the Six-Day War, that was when that was, right?
	I mean, they all know that the might of the United States Air Force is behind Israel.
	I mean, that's why.
	Other than that, the reason they don't do anything cannot be explained, except for there's more where that came from, and they know it.
	It must be a very frustrating position on their part.
	I can't imagine being in that position.
	Unfortunately, we are in many ways privileged here and insulated in America by, well, a couple of oceans and our military prowess, especially in the air.
	Mostly, I kind of don't care what goes on in the rest of the world.
	However, as a human being, it pisses me off what they're doing.
	It's nothing we would do.
	You or I would never do this kind of thing.
	This is the behavior that these psychopathic Jews constantly engage in.
	And, you know, megalomaniacal businessmen, so-called.
	I mean, that's all this is.
	It goes all the way back to Smedley Butler and War is a Racket.
	It's the same formula.
	Lather, rinse, and repeat over and over.
	New York Post has a very significant article.
	Fake meeting, secret drone smuggled missiles.
	How Israel's Mossad covertly infiltrated Iran to launch unprecedented attack.
	This has to be the most successful Mossad operation in history.
	Israeli spies smuggled missiles secretly and explosive drones deep inside Iran in a series of covert ops leading up to Friday's deadly onslaught before tricking military leaders into gathering for a meeting so they could be wiped out.
	Intelligence Agency with Mossad, Israel's top-sty agency, started infiltrating the heart of Iran several months back.
	Europe pulled off the surprise attack aimed at obliterating Iranian nuclear and military facilities as well as a swath of top military commanders.
	The spy agency planted the explosive drones inside Iran ahead of time as they laid the groundwork for major strikes according to Israeli security sources.
	Agents also managed to smuggle precision weapons into central Iran so Israel could target Tehran's defenses from within.
	The stealth campaign, dubbed Operation Rising Line, was eventually conducted in three separate ops early Friday with airstrikes, each targeting specific weaponry and defense systems in Iran, one security official told the post.
	Commando unit deployed precision-guided weapons.
	Iran serviced air missile defenses and targeted the Iranian systems.
	A second operation, set up strike systems and mounted technology onto vehicles that were launched at Iranian defense systems.
	Here we have the wave, different locations attacked, hitting the capital of Tehran as well, various key locations of the nuclear program.
	This was a very sophisticated operation, Keith.
	I mean, it's brilliant from a military and intelligence point of view, even though I deplore the objectives here.
	Your thoughts?
	Well, we can mirror this.
	I believe it's Max Blumenthal's latest video about the Mossad being in Ukraine.
	What is the same methodology they used in Ukraine by bringing in these smuggled-in trucks to target Russia's nuclear triad?
	We can go back to 2010, where Turkey-Brazil set deal on Iran nuclear fuel swap.
	And, of course, right after that, the U.S. rejects Iran nuclear deal brokered by Turkey and Brazil.
	I mean, oh, and sets up new sanctions.
	This is, again, it's not really the nuclear program.
	It's regime change.
	They want Iran out of the picture because, as one article I've been highlighting here, which is called, let me get rid of this stupid thing here, Which Path to Persia?
	Options for a New American Strategy Towards Iran.
	This has all been set out decades ago about what they were going to do, how they were going to do it, use Israel for the proxy there.
	Distance itself from Israel.
	This is why you saw the so-called alleged bro-fighting among Netanyahu and Bibi, or Bibi and Trump there.
	This was for the U.S. to go ahead and distance themselves so that they could blame Israel.
	And the article even says that Israel would take the heat for the Iranian counter-strike.
	And Iran has always been measured and stuff.
	But what gets me is if anyone's ever seen the movie Snowden, you have to realize with the pagers and stuff that Israel had blown up over in Lebanon and stuff, that when these Iranian officials meet, you have to realize that they have probably their cell phones and stuff for communication and stuff in
	And so with Snowden, with divulging all the information about how they can target people via phones, back doors and stuff like that, they know when people are meeting.
	That's why Israel, whenever there's an alleged peace deal in the making, that Israel destroys or kills the peacemakers.
	And it's the same thing when these Iranians meet together because they're bringing cell phones, they can bring their GPS coordinates up and they know exactly where they are.
	And in fact, James, when the...
	In February of 2022, when the Ukrainian soldiers were sending out videos and selfies and stuff of themselves, one of the Ukrainian leaders or generals got out there and screaming at the top of his lungs in a video on Telegram, telling these Ukrainian soldiers to stop effing sending photos and videos.
	They're using your metadata for your location and they're killing you.
	Yeah.
	This is how it's working, see?
	So, you know, they know exactly where you are and everything like that through the metadata, the GPS, it's tagging the photos and stuff, you know?
	Yes.
	Here a source says at least 20 top Iranian commanders killed in Israeli strike.
	At least 20 senior Iranian commanders, including the head of the Revolutionary Guards, Aerospace Force Commander Emir Ali.
	Hadjahs were killed in Israel's strikes on Iran on Friday, two sources told Reuters.
	And of course, it said they had orchestrated a meeting of them so they'd be all in one place so they could take them out in a single strike.
	Wow!
	Just amazing.
	Paul, your thoughts.
	Right.
	Well, they've done this before.
	I was just thinking, as Keith was reminding us all of these location devices that we all carry around constantly, it's hard to always keep that in mind.
	Now, of course, we don't really have that sort of fear here yet, but I would imagine the world that they're going to construct, that they want to construct with us here, is that sort of a world.
	In fact, it's pretty easy to analyze things in terms of It includes martial law, complete, they call it the surveillance state, which in many ways we're already in.
	They just don't have cameras up everywhere, but they're working on it.
	I mean, I just noticed probably within the last, oh, I'd say five to seven years here in the South Bay Area and the San Francisco Bay Area, more and more cameras and more and more intersections.
	I mean, and this is, you know, what they're moving towards is a complete and total surveillance world where they can – And, you know, when you see what they're doing over there, I mean, like I said, they have to constantly keep that in mind.
	And that's difficult because you become so accustomed to doing all the things that people like to do with their cell phones, you know, which is basically sharing the details of their lives.
	But as Keith so perfectly pointed out, in terms of a military text, it's death.
	And, you know, like I said, we all know that these Jews, let's face it, let's call it what it is, they are homicidal.
	I mean, if one thing history has shown, they detest everybody, you know, not just us, okay?
	And they're not shy about committing homicide and or genocide, and this is all what they're engineering.
	Besides, of course, the mineral rights and the oil and everything else that's part of the picture, too, as well.
	It's like they want to control the wealth.
	They want to control, you know, your thoughts and words and actions and deeds.
	And, you know, maybe even then, that's not enough.
	Who knows where they're going to go next?
	Israel is going to allow.
	I mean, today we're seeing the Iranian airspace overwhelmed with Israeli activities.
	And speaking of being overwhelmed, a question for you, Alex, because there are reports that Donald Trump, who has been speaking to American media in the last few hours, has spoken to Axios very close to the Trump administration, saying that Israel used, and I quote, great American equipment during the attack.
	What sort of equipment do you think the US president is referring to here?
	And could this have been possible without that?
	Israel is a major US client state and the best equipment.
	In fact, Israel's military edge is guaranteed in US law.
	It's an actual act.
	So that's why the F-35 stealth fighter, for instance, can't be sold to other client states in the region, such as Saudi so far.
	It has some of the best that's come forward.
	It has its own ability to be able to develop this stuff as well.
	It developed its own air defences, its missile defences, but very much in cooperation with the United States.
	The F-35 is an American jet.
	the F-15s and F-16s, they're American jets.
	So yes, they receive...
	And also with the training as well that goes in hand in hand with that as well.
	And there are substantial US military assets in the region now.
	We're getting reports that these are being moved around.
	They are being moved around, exactly.
	But what we're seeing is that they haven't been used yet.
	but they're certainly there and they're substantial.
	So obviously no one wants to...
	And Iran certainly doesn't want to drag the United States into this as well because they're having a tough enough time dealing with Israel.
	And Ali, looking at the wider implications here for the region, there's obviously a lot of concern.
	We're in the GCC, right on the doorstep of Iran.
	We've been hearing from the leaders condemning this.
	But there is also reports, and that's yet to be confirmed, that the US State Department apparently informed regional allies in the Middle East that Israel had planned to strike Iran.
	Well, we heard recently that there's one Gulf state that informed the Iranians that these threats are not just for psychological warfare.
	Because in Iran, some people try to portray Israeli threats as just psychological warfare.
	And it seems that one of the states here in the Gulf tried to convey this message.
	And previously also, and as Reuters revealed, Now, today's Netanyahu's speech clarified that the plan was for April, and it was postponed till now, till he just arranges his inner house.
	So this fact is that everyone knew about this.
	The Iranians should have knew about this also.
	It came in a way where it's not clear whether the Iranians were able to retrieve conclusions from what happened in Lebanon, for example.
	The hitting of Hezbollah, striking Hezbollah commanders in the same way.
	I mean, the whole higher echelon was killed.
	And it's just a copy-paste operation that happened in Iran, as if no one was taking conclusions.
	And it's interesting because Israeli media watching some of it today was discussing the fact that it doesn't have the assistance of those Hezbollah missiles or rockets like we saw last year.
	Thanks very much, Ali Hashim and Alex Kotopoulos.
	Let me say that those reports are very consistent with what you are suggesting, Keith, that the Iranians ought to have seen this coming.
	It was such a cleverly executed event.
	Tell us more of what you think.
	The role of the Mossad here is just fascinating.
	Meanwhile, Iran vows to continue nuclear activities amid threat of more Israeli strikes.
	Let me add this.
	There are emerging reports of possible more waves of Israeli attacks, with state media reporting new loud blasts here near an air base, Importantly, Iranian leaders have made clear their intent to continue enriching uranium, even to potentially expand their nuclear activities.
	Israeli attacks will not affect our determination.
	But it seems to me what we have here is a catastrophe.
	A catastrophe.
	Over 200 Israeli planes used against Iran.
	Trump warns of even more brutal strikes to come.
	If Iran doesn't enter the peace agreement, this is profoundly troubling.
	The idea that Trump has played this duplicitous role here, I think that's going to cost the U.S. even more standing in the world, although we're sinking to a new load through our support of the genocide in Gaza.
	Keith first, then Paul.
	Keith.
	All right.
	Well, this is like with Russia.
	The U.S. is supposed to be negotiating a peace deal with Russia, and everything that's being deployed is co-belligerents.
	So when you hear that Israel is doing this and stuff, well, they can't do it without America, see?
	It's the same thing when you hear about these precision-guided missiles.
	Well, if they wanted to take out Saddam, why did they destroy the entire country?
	This all has to do with banking and other means to be able to soak the country into massive debt.
	And then on the cusp of this fake COVID stuff like that, if it was all about saving lives, then why did they start two major wars, one in Gaza and one in Ukraine, to kill almost 2 million people like that, you know?
	And what gets me about the whole thing?
	Is the constant build-up for, like, Trump wanting a trillion dollars for the military, which means get your boys ready for uniforms, you know?
	There is no peace.
	Trump runs as a so-called peace candidate.
	I was listening to that Midas report last night on YouTube, and it quoted every time Donald Trump talked about bringing peace, you know, that you'll have peace under my administration.
	There has been anything but peace.
	But like I say, that Brookings Institute document I was talking about, it highlights that this has all been planned for at least 30 years to go after Iran's leadership for regime change so they get Western-friendly governments in there to be able to take over the entire oil lines, like with Trump.
	We're in Syria for the oil.
	They don't care about how many people are being killed in Syria and stuff.
	I mean, this is the United States.
	Let me share a couple of both here.
	Geiger Capital.
	Legacy defining moment for Trump.
	He bragged about being the only president in a generation who didn't start any new wars.
	If he gets America involved in the new Middle East regime change war, he failed.
	Cassie Ackett.
	Axios is reporting Trump was publicly pretending to oppose an Israeli attack on Iran.
	Axios.
	Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aide were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public and didn't express opposition in private.
	We had a clear U.S. green light, one claimed.
	The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel's target list wouldn't move to new locations.
	Net Yahushaids even briefed Israeli reporters that Trump had tried to put brakes on an Israeli strike in a call on Monday, when in reality the Paul, your thoughts?
	Right.
	Well, keeping in mind everything that Keith said, which I happen to agree with, and I think that is quite accurate.
	If you don't mind, for just a moment, I'll zoom out for what I call a larger view here, maybe get a little philosophical in terms of what I would call human nature.
	You know, we've all heard the saying, nothing new under the sun, and I think that's extremely true with the human nature of those that rule us.
	And to me, I look at this kind of stuff as this is nothing more than the big kid on the block who wants to keep his preserve, his rule.
	In other words, you know.
	You know, the bully wants to keep his reign, his control.
	I'm reminded of a great line in a movie.
	You guys probably remember it.
	Originally, it was going to be a different title, I understand, but then they ended up titling it, There Will Be Blood, right?
	I think Daniel Day-Lewis, if I'm not mistaken.
	Played, you know, a guy who was an independent oil driller.
	But anyway, the line in the movie was, there's a competition in me.
	I don't like to see other people succeed.
	And that reminds me of a book I read way back when called Uncovering the Forces for War.
	Published in 1947 by Conrad Grebe.
	I've referenced this book many times on the air.
	And one of the important chapters in there discussed the fact that essentially the British Empire, England in particular, you know, with America as, of course, the big brother and the helper.
	They were going to make war upon Germany because Germany was getting too strong, was getting too competitive.
	And World War I was very similar in addition to actually bailing out British and French bondholders, which was a major part of the war that was covered very well by G. Edward Griffin in his book, The Creature from Jekyll Island.
	There's several chapters on World War I which are absolutely phenomenal that should be required reading in every high school government and history class.
	But the fact of the matter was that right around the time of World War I, again, you can read that Germany was essentially becoming too competitive.
	They were too good basically at manufacturing and exporting, and they were out-competing England and many of the foreign markets.
	And so British finance, British industry still ruling the seas at that time.
	They weren't having it.
	And that's essentially what's constantly going on here with us, is that we just do not want to give up our preeminent position in the world, and we're going to overthrow your government or attack you militarily if we feel in any way, shape, or form you're going to threaten it.
	And I'll just add one more thing.
	I saw David Icke speak early on before he became really, really famous.
	I think it was probably around 2003 or something like that at a conference.
	And one of the things he said in his talk was that he talked to somebody who claimed to be ex-intelligence, ex-CIA, and he mostly believed everything he was told.
	This person informed David Icke that we are against abundance.
	Everything that we're about is scarcity because with scarcity, we can rule.
	With scarcity, we can dominate.
	With abundance, people are free, they have free choices, and it's less likely there's going to be war.
	And I remember that part of his talk, and I don't see how anything has deviated from that, and I don't feel, unfortunately, it's going to deviate anytime soon, unfortunately, Trump notwithstanding.
	Fascinating stuff, Paul.
	Here we have from RT.
	Russia strongly condemned Israel's attack on Iran.
	The foreign ministries as West Jerusalem has violated the UN Charter and international law.
	Russia strongly condemned Israel's airstrikes on Iran, worrying that the operation risk triggering a dangerous escalation across the Middle East.
	In a statement Friday, the Russian foreign ministry said the attack violated both the UN charter and international law.
	I have no doubt they are right.
	The strikes, carried out early Friday by the IDF, remarkably targeted Iranian military and nuclear sites.
	Iranian media outlets said the attack killed several senior officers, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Commander Hussein Salami and the leading chief of the Army General Staff, Golem al-Rashid.
	At least six nuclear scientists were also reported among the dead.
	Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the operation was aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
	The attack comes just 48 hours before the six rounds of the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks.
	Scepter began on Sunday in Oman, casting doubt on renewed diplomatic efforts.
	We strongly condemn the violent action of the State of Israel, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
	Unprovoked military strikes.
	Against a sovereign UN member state, its citizens, sleeping peaceful cities and nuclear energy infrastructure facilities are categorically unacceptable.
	They've got it right.
	The ministry noted that the timing of the attacks, amid a session of the International Atomic Energy Board of Governors and head of another round of nuclear talks, adds particular cynicism to the situation.
	The hard-won multilateral efforts to reduce confrontation and find solutions that eliminate any suspicions and prejudices regarding Iran's peaceful nuclear energy have been undermined and set back to the head of accusing Israel of making a conscious choice to further escalate tensions with the strikes.
	There have been repeated warnings about the danger of military action that threatens stability and security in the region.
	Responsibility for all the consequences of this provocation will fall on the Israeli leadership, the ministry stated.
	I must add, I believe this is just as much an action by Netanyahu to preserve his political viability in Israel as it is to undermine Iran.
	Here we have another break.
	We'll be right back with Keith Rogers and Paul from California.
	Yeah.

	Thank you.
	So, Keith, would you agree this is as much to save Netanyahu's political future in Israel as it is to strike hard at Iran?
	And obviously he's been successful on both counts.
	I thought it was a very, well, When Israel is in the midst of a genocide, internationally recognize Iran is not.
	Iran is not genocidal.
	Israel is.
	I mean, talk about chutzpah.
	Your thoughts.
	Yeah, I was watching Piers Morgan last night with that one comedian and this guy named Jonathan, but the comedian aptly pointed out though, like you mentioned, when they accused Iran of genocide.
	this is the same scenario.
	of where they're trying to disable a country's either means to defend itself or what.
	And it shows you how desperate they are.
	They're on this time limit.
	And I've mentioned to you there before, James, what you know from the World Economic Forum, it seems like the United States is replacing that and bringing it here to America, that they are going to be this world government.
	And Trump is all for this because it make America great again.
	Of course, you have to ask, when was it ever great?
	Because it's been at war ever since its foundation.
	It's great military.
	The massive amounts of money going into the arms industry, telling the European Union they have to increase the military budgets to 5%, which just fuels the military-industrial complex here.
	In 2012, $39 million had been appropriated to do 69 flyovers of these stadiums to get the old hoopla of the America, you know, the lead Greenwood.
	Thank God I'm an American like that.
	always when I see these stories there James I always think at what cost and At what cost will it come to other people?
	The same thing with these CIA covert actions throughout Latin America, which drives immigration.
	When you destroy other people's commerce, you make it so they can't do sanctions.
	They can't sell their oil or whatever else like that.
	This is all devised to keep everyone else down so that America excels like that.
	And as long as Americans are paying cheap at the store for whatever like that.
	I meant to look it up there about how much a barrel of oil was during the Iraq War during Bush, because right now gas is $3.15 a gallon.
	But in 2002, when I bought my truck like that, I was only paying $1.65 for a gallon of gas.
	But they are extracting as much resources, just like during the fake pandemic when 500 billionaires were made during that COVID there.
	They are extracting whatever wealth they can here.
	And if you think America really cared about bringing its Western image to other countries, when you start looking at the hundreds of thousands of homeless, the streets that are full of druggies and stuff, but then you have to think about all the billions of dollars to all these alphabet agencies, the ATF giving arms to the cartels, the DHS cutting deals with the cartels.
	It's all a rouge.
	If something's wrong in this country, it was created that way to either bring in more laws and stuff to curtail what we're doing, just like these LA riots and stuff, to put the military on the streets and stuff.
	It's like everyone's being lied to, but they can't see it because they're so diverted.
	I always use a joke about trying to enlarge their penis by three inches.
	But there are so many distractions out there that people don't realize what's going on in the other, say, third world or the Middle East or over in Russia.
	You know, like those Jay Leno videos.
	People can't even find their own country on a map.
	That's how bad this country is.
	And then Biden's administration was dropping the SAT test.
	Trump's going after the colleges.
	It's like they want dumb people.
	Yeah, sure.
	No, no.
	And if I may add to or answer the question earlier, at what cost?
	That's what Keith said, at what cost?
	My answer would be at any cost.
	This is what they do.
	And, I mean, this is why they killed the 70-mile-per-hour carburetor.
	You know, this is why they killed the water-powered car.
	This is why they kill all the different cures for cancer.
	This is why you have to go to other countries.
	To obtain the sort of cancer treatments that do no harm and that only have, you know, nothing but anecdotal success.
	But uh-oh, we can't get them here because it's not standard of care.
	You know, so yeah, it's just everything that, you know, they're about is, of course, just picture.
	I used to do this to get people to understand the way the world works.
	So I would take my left hand and hold it palm up.
	And then I would take my right thumb, grind it into the palm of my left hand like you're grinding, you know, some powder in a little, you know, urn, you know, and say, hey, this is what they're about.
	Just crushing, grinding, grinding people down to nothing while they take everything.
	That's basically what they're about.
	Here's an Axios report.
	Israel's strike on Iran was eight months in the making.
	Israel's stunning and sprawling operation overnight targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, missile scientists, and generals followed eight months of intensive clandestine preparations.
	why it matters.
	The operation And it is only just beginning.
	Driving the news.
	Israel is attempting to eliminate Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities in an operation expected to last at least several days.
	Prime Minister Netanyahu announced.
	Other Israeli officials said it could take weeks.
	Israel attempted, just in the opening hours, to assassinate nuclear scientists they claimed had to know how to make a nuclear bomb.
	Around 25 scientists were targeted.
	At least two are confirmed dead so far.
	Israel also targeted the entire top brass of Iran's military.
	The commander of the Revolutionary Guard and military chief of staff were both confirmed dead, along with another senior general.
	The Israeli operation didn't just include airstrikes.
	Israel's Mossad intel as operatives on the ground conducting covert sabotage operations on missile and air defense sites, officials said.
	Israel is expected to keep pounding Iran's underground nuclear facilities in the coming days, along with other targets.
	Behind the scene?
	The idea for an operation simultaneously targeting Iran's missile and nuclear program, which NetNahu has described as existential threats to Israel, took hold after Iran struck Israel in October during a cycle of tit-for-tat escalation between the countries, motivated both by Iran's fast-growing missile arsenal.
	And it's weakened their defenses following Israel retaliation.
	Netanyahu ordered the military and intel services to begin planning.
	The Israeli military said another factor was intel about nuclear weaponization research.
	And the development indicating Iran could build a bomb more quickly if it elected to do so.
	The planned opening in the coming weeks of a new underground enrichment facility that would be immune to even massive U.S. bunker busters added to the urgency.
	Friction point.
	Even as President Trump pursued a nuclear deal.
	Iran was preparing for this strike, gathering intel, positioning assets, and eventually conducting drills.
	These preparations alarmed some in the White House, who worried Netanyahu might move even without a green light for Trump.
	Netanyahu assured Trump he wouldn't.
	The White House, for its part, told Netanyahu that if Israel attacked Iran, it would do so alone.
	Trump himself said several times in recent days, including several hours before the strikes, that he opposed an Israeli strike that would blow up the negotiations.
	I don't believe the White House whatsoever.
	Trump was all in on this.
	He's just added to the list of world's biggest liars.
	I'm embarrassed and ashamed by the President of the United States.
	Keith, your thoughts?
	Well, again, like with Ukraine.
	All their targeting information either came from MI6 or the United States.
	It's all been there, you know.
	There's no way they could do these precision guided strikes without either U.S. satellite, GPS coordinates, all this stuff like that, as well as the buildup.
	Remember that the United States was sending in...
	And this wasn't for Gaza.
	It was for this Iranian deal.
	These were the bunker buster type things, you know.
	Again, we have to realize that their time framing is short because the U.S. dollar supremacy is waning throughout the world like that.
	They have to stop BRICS.
	And Iran is a key integral part of that because if you take out Iran's government and can control the oil, that means you can shut China off.
	Same thing with Russia.
	Same thing with South Africa.
	Matter of fact, with South Africa, since Nigeria and Nigeria has basically, and Bikini Faso over there, France was depending heavily on uranium for their nuclear reactors.
	So why didn't they strike a deal with Iran to buy that uranium from Iran?
	There's so many possibilities, but no one wants to look at it, because all they see is, USA!
	USA!
	You know, I was sickened.
	I had a satellite call as the Gulf War started, the shock and awe, you know.
	It was at a bar in Missoula.
	I was working on a satellite receiver watching all these drunk Montana cowboys sitting there watching the live bombing of Baghdad, you know, and those...
	A million Iraqis were killed!
	5,000 U.S. soldiers killed.
	74,000 total that weren't listed as KIA, which was who died en route or at hospitals.
	Another 60,000 U.S. soldiers had committed suicide.
	307,000 soldiers had died waiting for VA health care.
	And now in Israel, over 170,000 IDF are being treated for mental health issues.
	The Hannibal Directive.
	Do you really think these guys care about life and death of those peons in the world?
	No, it's power.
	That's all they care about is power.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	Here's another Kevin Barrett newsletter.
	Will Americans support war on Iran for Israel?
	I think that's a hell of a question.
	Mr. Kevin, this is an interview conducted Thursday before Israel launched its attack on Iran.
	Mr. Kevin Barrett.
	We might be going into war.
	Do you think U.S. citizens right now, the U.S. population is ready to sacrifice many of their sons and daughters once again to go to war and die for the Israeli regime?
	No.
	And I think this is a huge miscalculation on the part of the Zionist element in the American administration and indeed the Congress.
	They seem to imagine that somehow they can gain enough popular support for war, that they can credibly threaten Iran.
	And I think that's not the case.
	Neither of the two sides of the American red versus blue schism is the slightest bit interested in another big war for Israel.
	Obviously, the blue side, that is the Democrats who are opposed to Trump, are not going to be following the baboon in the White House like he's some kind of great leader.
	We see a huge movement now rising up against King Trump, though we don't want a king movement.
	And we see California getting close to wanting to secede from the Union rather than allow Trump to send federal troops in target by California and have his way with the immigrants.
	So the U.S. is on the brink of falling apart.
	There may be some in the Zionist circles of the Trump admin who imagine that somehow Trump could play the role of a macho, fearless leader and try to unite a country in a big war.
	Probably even a minority within the admin.
	The majority of Trump supporters come from people who see through these wars for Israel, who are sick of them, who don't want more losing wars, like the catastrophes in Iraq and Afghanistan under the neocons.
	So neither side is interested in any such war.
	And there's no way that any interest or commitment to such a war could ever be sustained.
	It'll never even really get off the ground.
	But even if they were able to whip up some kind of hysteria, if some Americans, a lot of Americans, suddenly died on mid-East military bases, I think that rally around the flag effect would last about five seconds.
	So U.S. is not prepared for any major war.
	The Israelis, unfortunately, are.
	And they are the ones that are trying to drag the U.S. and D. out of another disastrous war for Israel, which would certainly be lost.
	It could probably be the final nail in the coffin of the U.S. Empire.
	I think he's got it right.
	Keith, your thoughts?
	Well, you know, James, this goes farther back.
	I mean, like Israeli, I don't know if a lot of people read Israeli news and stuff like that, but...
	A lot of this, though, is done by the United States.
	They tried to bypass the Logan Amendment.
	Not Logan.
	Which one is it?
	Boland.
	Boland Amendment.
	By using Israel as that flat-top carrier, because the minute Israel is mentioned, all your congressmen and senators and stuff all pile on to whatever Israel needs.
	But in fact, Israel's arms sales down to Latin America and stuff like that is what fuels these conflicts down there so the United States can keep their supremacy of the military bases, NATO in Colombia, Now they want NATO over there in the Pacific.
	I mean, this is full-spectrum dominance, and no one wants to read these articles and stuff in as much as that weather as a force multiplier, event 201, weather simulations.
	This is all being done to be able to curtail the public to accept these certain agendas, whether it's climate change or what, and oh yeah, they'll drop EV vehicle stuff and mandates for California stuff.
	But the point is, though, it's the control of the minerals and resources is what the United States needs so that it's corporations.
	But you never hear about them building corporations here.
	It's bringing some back.
	And when they bring them back, they have to have qualified workers, and they're not being qualified through the schooling system here, like I mentioned to you at Harvard, Anal Sex 101.
	They're not being trained to build bridges and high-speed rail systems and anything that might facilitate the easement of the American dream, as it's called like that, you know?
	Living off the cusp of what they did decades ago when they de-industrialized this country.
	They took our high-paying jobs, the unions, the paid health care, overtime, sick leave, pregnancy leave, and again, the paid two-week vacations.
	All that's gone.
	Everyone's working multiple part-time jobs.
	They can't pay their bills or anything like that.
	And do you see any relief to the American people?
	No.
	And the banks are getting away with murder.
	They're raising the values of property, which is causing people to have to pay.
	More property taxes, insurance, all that.
	And if you're on a set income like that, you'll lose your home.
	Do you see the government curtailing the banks?
	No.
	They're deregulating the banks even more.
	Keith, well, I grant that Harvard had some workshop on anal sex.
	It's ridiculous to suggest that's what the university represents.
	It's the mindset.
	Wait a minute.
	You get a lot of mileage out of cherry-picking like that, and I don't think it's very fair.
	I care a lot about higher education.
	I spent 35 years of the whole career there, and I think we need to give higher education its proper accord because the attacks that are going on against pro-Palestine students who deserve our admiration and accolades, not punishment, because they're opposed to genocide are outrageous.
	Not the fact that there may be a weird course here or there.
	Paul, your thoughts?
	Tim, you're killing me.
	I wanted to jump on that.
	I was going to say, hey, that course was not offered when I was going to college.
	You know, I think you're making a little too much of college students' knowledge and potential.
	I remember when I was in college, and comparatively, I knew nothing, and I knew more than most people.
	I've always had, in my opinion, of course, a broader perspective of the real world than I believe a lot of other people at pretty much any age.
	And college students don't know shit.
	I don't really think it really matters what they think.
	As far as this idea about will the American people support a military invention in the Middle East, it doesn't matter.
	They don't care.
	The American public doesn't fight these wars.
	Who they get to do it is 19- and 22-year-olds who don't, in many cases, have a better plan in life.
	As my brother once pointed out, A long, long time ago that the American military is just another form of unemployment for a lot of people that haven't figured out yet what they're going to do.
	And, of course, as you know, they've been offering citizenship.
	To Mexicans and other Central American mestizos for quite a long time now.
	So in many ways, you know, they're going to go and do what they're told if we, you know, have to go over there and put, you know, actual, you know, quote unquote boots on the ground.
	But in the end, you know, these wars are fought technologically and from the air.
	And I still believe no matter what you or other people say about Russia and Iran that we have.
	Air supremacy and air superiority to this day.
	And it's unfortunate.
	It's sad.
	And one of the reasons I think it's sad, I'll just remind you and Keith, I'm sure you guys have all known Iranians or Persians.
	And they're mostly good people.
	I've encountered them off and on all my life, starting way back in college.
	And there's plenty of them here in California.
	And they're hardworking.
	They're not criminal.
	And overall, just decent, intelligent people.
	And it's really unfortunate that they live right next door to Israel.
	I have great admiration for Iran, which is the most peace-devoted country in the world, having not launched a war of aggression against any other state since 1775.
	In case anyone is unaware, the Constitution was ratified in 1787.
	George Washington elected our first president in 1789.
	So for longer than the United States has existed as a constitutional republic, Iran has not launched a war of aggression against any other state.
	So I think Iran is good guys here.
	Russia's good guys.
	The U.S. and Israel, alas, are not.
	Here's a common dream.
	This is a left-wing take on it.
	There are a couple articles I want to share.
	That Yahoo is sabotaging diplomacy.
	Israeli attack killed its top Iranian nuclear negotiator.
	This action, ordered by Prime Minister Netanyahu, appears to deliberately undermine ongoing American diplomatic negotiation about Iran's nuclear program, said one Democrat senator.
	Israel's large-scale military attack on Iran early Friday Targeted and gilded official who was leading a committee on nuclear talks with the United States, a decision, observers and Iranian officials said, was clearly designed to undercut progress toward a diplomatic agreement.
	Ali Shanikhani, whose home was among those attacked by Israel on Friday, was a top aide to the Ukrainian new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and had expressed optimism in recent weeks about a prospect of an improved relation with the U.S. As President Donald Trump signaled he was open to a deal.
	I now believe that was all feigned by Trump.
	If the Americans act as they say for sure we can have better relations, Shanikhani told Trump.
	It can lead to a better situation in the near future.
	The next round of nuclear talk between the U.S. and Iran was scheduled for Sunday.
	One unnamed Trump admin official said, we still intend to have talks Sunday.
	But Friday's attack left the status of the already tenuous negotiations in serious doubt as Iran responded to Israel's assault with a barrage of drones and warnings of additional retaliation.
	Trump, in his social media responding to the unfolding disaster, did not sound a diplomatic note, accusing Iran of missing chance after chance to make a deal and threatening that the situation will only get worse.
	Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left, added the president, who during his first White House term withdrew the U.S. from a previous nuclear agreement with Iran.
	How could any nation trust Donald Trump as President of the United States?
	His word is nothing.
	Keith, your thoughts?
	Yeah, I want to put something in perspective here, James, and Paul there.
	i go by trends and so when i see certain things in the news it's like the school shootings they want to get the guns out of the hands of the kids and stuff and yet in two thousand nineteen And then we have even Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who's right now lobbying to bring back the draft.

	Keith, go ahead.
	of us here in front of their thoughts.
	Okay, well, so with the, as Alistair Crook was saying about what it would take to get into one of these so-called Alistair Crooked implied that they were a mile deep.
	I don't know if you realize what mining is, but the temperatures at a mile deep would be extreme.
	But as Paul says, the United States has air supremacy.
	They have the satellites, everything like that.
	And now they're even talking about Star Wars again.
	One has to realize that every single nuclear agreement that the United States had Has been broken.
	And now, with Diego Garcia, with them loading up their B-2s or whatever, their B-52s on those, this was the same thing in Russia, with Russia having to keep all their nuclear bombers and stuff out in the open.
	Again, now this seals off the START treaty with Russia now, because Russia's now talking about putting their planes under concealed camouflage.
	But the United States today does not have really a ground force military.
	We've heard Scott Ritter, Larry Johnson, all these guys, even Colonel Douglas McGregor, talking about how the military is not what it was before.
	So, the first resort would be nuclear.
	And that's why I've always said that.
	No one has ever attacked this country, including Pearl Harbor.
	We have Captain Eric Nieve, who broke the Imperial Japanese Code in 1939, which is why they moved the flattop carriers to Midway.
	They knew the attack was coming.
	That's why PNAC is sited with a new Pearl Harbor.
	They use all this stuff to incite people, just like bringing up a draft and stuff.
	I watch these.
	If you clear your cookies on YouTube and you load just a blank page of YouTube, I can't believe how many military videos they are of airplanes and stuff.
	As John Stockwell, former CIA, said, it's a concept.
	And this is why in stores today you see diapers in camo print.
	The father that takes his son out hunting, his hunting outfit is in camo.
	It's a militarized society.
	And the only way that you can make America great again is to have a stronger military.
	And that's what worried me when I heard Trump first talking about a great military.
	The United States, just in my lifetime alone, back to 1960s forward, has killed 25 million people, mostly civilians.
	And this was all set out by the NSC-68, which is where, right after World War II, they devised this anti-Soviet-type rhetoric.
	And as I think it was you, Paul, that mentioned today here about the Catholics in Latin America and stuff, or that are here.
	That the fact is, they weren't killing Soviets all down to Latin America and Cuba and stuff.
	They were killing Catholics.
	They were killing their bishops and stuff.
	But the point is, anyone that has the ability to organize, just like Kent State.
	That's it.
	James, when you mentioned the college and stuff, oh, I agree with you 100% there.
	But when you have free oral discussion of where people can freely share ideas at colleges, just like Kent State, well, that's when the government has to come out.
	They have to block the anti-war movement, see?
	They want a total society that's always on edge.
	You've got an external enemy.
	And again, like I mentioned earlier, with all the billions of dollars of these intel agencies, If something's here, it's allowed in here for a reason.
	See?
	So what it means is that those people are not doing their jobs either at the border or wherever else like that.
	It's all devised to keep people on edge so that you always have to have constant fear.
	To be able to promote a foreign agenda or a domestic agenda so the government domestically can seize more of your rights, like the Patriot Act.
	A lot of people don't realize the Patriot Act II was actually passed, but they had to do it in smaller increments.
	And I will say this.
	When you listen to Senator Richard Black, who I've talked to on one of the other shows, When he talked about this al-Qaeda, ISIS, al-Nusra, which is now running Syria, which Donald Trump shakes his hand, is calling him a handsome guy.
	This is the same guy that killed American soldiers.
	Even Douglas McGregor, Colonel Black, talk about how the CIA were actually charged with killing US soldiers like that to keep this whole thing going.
	They were actually shooting at each other and everything like that, you know, just as much as the US was paying for the head chopping, the cutting the heads off, all this stuff.
	Senator Black brought all this stuff out, you know.
	But what's important is like that document I was reading here earlier.
	These think groups and stuff like that have had this thing all planned out.
	And these are the ones that submit these bills through their lawyers and stuff to Congress to where you got idiots like Nancy Pelosi says, well, an 8,000-page bill, they've only got 40 hours to read it or something like that.
	Well, we'll just have to pass it to see what's in it.
	None of them know what's going on.
	They're being lied to.
	We're being lied to.
	And it's all for this political agenda of world supremacy led by the United States of full spectrum of dominance.
	Well, Keith, and if you don't mind, too, let's add the necessary adjective here to world supremacy, world Jewish supremacy.
	I mean, let's not forget who dominates a lot of these things.
	I'm glad you mentioned, which sort of seems incongruous here, but the killing, which I did mention earlier, but the killing of priests and nuns in Central America and all these various conflicts.
	And when I was younger, I was wondering, why would they do that?
	But of course, in many cases, these priests and nuns, it wasn't their religious help that they were looking to suppress, but it was their political.
	these natives down there more politically aware of what was occurring.
	And of course this goes all the way back to, uh, uh, you know, what they did to, the Russians and the Russian Christians in the Bolshevik Revolution and then later on in the Spanish Civil War when they killed nuns and priests and they would go to church graveyards and dig up the coffins and, you know, desecrate Catholic cemeteries because this is the same group of people that's making war on everybody.
	And I think that's the thing.
	Just briefly, since you mentioned YouTube, let's just have a little fun here and take the pulse of America and YouTube comments, which are often quite instructive.
	Now, I, for one, am going to be the first to admit that, yeah, YouTube is not always the best place, and they do censor the heck.
	I've had many of my comments eliminated over time, but this is all fresh.
	This is a brand new video within the last day or so, last few hours.
	And it's one minute and 13 seconds.
	We don't need to play the video.
	The title says, Israel Defense Spokesperson on the Preemptive Israeli Strike on Iranian Nuclear Targets.
	And, you know, it's got the usual face up there, a face that we could all recognize as distinctly ethnic.
	And it doesn't matter what he says.
	Here's the first few comments.
	The same, quote, preemptive strikes would be labeled terrorist attacks if they occurred in the opposite direction.
	Next comment.
	It's really great that people have finally had enough of their BS and are starting to now think for themselves.
	Next comment.
	Y 'all been saying there's weeks away from nuclear weapons for 20 plus years now.
	Laughing my ass off.
	And then here's the next comment, the number four comment.
	Never forget the USS Liberty.
	Next comment.
	Israel did it.
	Let them handle it on their own.
	No U.S. help.
	And then here's the sixth comment.
	I'm just going in a row.
	One, two, six.
	This is the sixth comment.
	You'll like this, Keith.
	They cry out as they strike you.
	Hmm.
	So I would say the Goyim are waking up.
	The next comment after that is, I will not die for Israel.
	These are all short, very brief, and the comments go on.
	There's 1,000 comments.
	And so far, every single one shows that people know the game is up.
	Unfortunately, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22-year-olds, and so on and so forth, all the people that will either volunteer or be drafted, they don't know anything.
	They don't have a political frame of reference that's worth anything.
	So they'll be operating all the advanced weapon systems just like they did in the Gulf War, and it's unfortunately a sad thing.
	Here's another from Common Dreams, another left website.
	U.S. progressives say stop supporting rogue genocidal regime after Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran.
	Trump must act immediately to suspend all military support to Israel and stop allowing U.S. arms to fuel war crimes, mass civilian deaths, and regional collapse, said one critic.
	Progressive U.S. lawmakers and human right defenders demanded an end to unconditional American armed and diplomatic support for Israel after it launched a series of attacks on Iran early Friday.
	Reportedly killing senior military officials and civilians, including nuclear scientists, women and children, in a dramatic escalation that Iranian leaders vowed to avenge.
	Israeli forces carried out at least five waves of airstrikes, targeting not only Iran's nuclear facilities, but also its military leadership and capabilities, Al Jazeera reported.
	In additional airstrikes, Israeli and international media reported that operatives from Mossad, Israel's foreign spy agency, also conducted assassination and sabotage attacks in Iran.
	Israeli Defense Forces claimed that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander-in-Chief Major General Hossein Salami and Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Mohammed Bagheeri were assassinated, as were numerous.
	Iranian nuclear scientists, I have no doubt they've got all of that right.
	Your comments, well, I think are very appropriate.
	I'm glad you quoted those.
	Meanwhile, we have LA riots.
	From LA riots to war with Russia, China ran.
	It's all proceeding according to script.
	This is from the truth seeker, Leo Holman.
	I've long held the view that the globalist plan for the final takedown of America will involve getting us into a major international war at the same time we're engaged in growing civil strife and possible civil war at home.
	other words.
	Let them fight each other while fighting Russia, China, and Iran simultaneously.
	That's enough to take down any superpower in the fog of war and with now comfortable law And the script is proceeding right on schedule.
	With the riots heating up in Los Angeles and now spreading to other cities, while at the same time we see President Trump's so-called peace talks breaking down with Russia and Iran.
	The latest round of nuclear talks with Iran said for Sunday have now been canceled.
	Well, there's much more, but I think that gives you some themes.
	Keep very consistent with your analysis and your thoughts.
	Well, again, like I say, the U.S. has depleted itself.
	There's that top rabbi that said that America is now a failing superpower and Israel must step up to be the new world.
	This is all part of this radicalized Christians over in D.C. It's by no accident that Donald Trump had appointed all these pro-Zionists and stuff into his administration like that.
	They're all Israeli firsters.
	They're the ones that want to build this new temple and stuff, Trump with this Trump Hotel and stuff like that in Gaza, which reminds me of the opening of Terminator, where tanks are rolling across the skulls of those killed, you know, Skynet, all this stuff.
	It's like it's all been planned, and it's been done through the movies, just like I say with Ukraine and Russia.
	Remember the movie The Sum of All Fears?
	The plot started from South Africa, where Israel and its nuclear arms first started, but Pepe Escobar's talking about that F-35 that went down.
	It was supposed to be armed for a nuclear strike on Iran before.
	it's all scripted.
	Kiss me off about Hollywood here.
	All the movies about earthquakes, tsunamis, massive tornadoes, all the stuff about destroying America.
	I've never seen any movies about that happening to Tel Aviv or something like that.
	Paul?
	Yeah, I would buy a movie ticket for that.
	I've been to movies in years.
	There's a great documentary I just recently watched.
	Actually, I need to finish watching it.
	It's like an hour and 30 or 40 minutes, something like that.
	And it's all spelled out.
	It's all right there.
	It's how the Jews took control of Hollywood and the cinema starting in the 1920s.
	They came out to the West Coast to escape basically Thomas Edison's rightful legal sanctions against them for essentially stealing a lot of his ideas and technology.
	And so they created, quote, the world of their own, right, out here in Los Angeles.
	So, yeah, I love, you know, what's revealed in movies.
	I use movies and movie references all the time to try to wake people up.
	You know, they tell us.
	They tell us what it is they have in mind, and they tell us what it is they, in many ways, they're planning for our future, if you want to open your eyes to see it.
	Yeah, I got one more thing to say here, James.
	There's a video on YouTube that's called Psychiatry in the Military, the Hidden Agenda.
	It talks about early Soviet, German, and American, called bio-warfare on their own soldiers, to build the ultimate soldiers.
	That's why you'll see ISIS and those guys loaded up on this.
	or what do they call it like that, you know, and other type drugs.
	Those were from France, by the way, when they were seized by the Syrian government.
	But anyway, uh, uh, They want people that are totally wigged out and stuff.
	In that video, it says that during the Iraq War, a bombing campaign, of which God knows how many bombs they dropped again, it was detailed, where they took out 600 and some schools, 18 colleges, all those government offices.
	But anyway, the point is, they gave the soldiers these uppers.
	So they went out on their flights, and the minute they got back, they had to take their downers, so they wouldn't sit there and think about what it was.
	And it reminds me of David Irving, who was that historian there, or still is, I guess.
	There's rumors about his death.
	But anyway, where he says that he met up with a British RAF officer that was part of these Allied terror bombings over Germany, and he was bragging about it.
	Irving had gone to Germany and received color photos from a German photographer that he worked with in one of the steel factories there.
	And while he was sitting there having a pint of beer, he heard this RAF officer talking about what was going on there, bragging about his World War II service.
	And he walked up to him and showed him the photos that he happened to have that he just printed from his book there.
	And the RAF guy almost fainted there to see the carnage of what was left below.
	And in fact, real quick, I got into a debate.
	on Twitter about the Holocaust and I baited this guy I hate to admit it there but I baited this guy about how bad the Holocaust was and boy he just sucked right into the conversation then I threw it at him the 50 cities in Germany burned it The 69,
	sorry, 67 Japanese cities, that if you watch the fog of war, it gives you a side-by-side view that if they took out Osaka, Japan, 85%, it was 35% of the population of L.A. Or another city, 40% of Chicago and stuff.
	This was the carnage of those holocausts, real holocausts, death by fires, the burnings, the Allied terror bombings, you know?
	Of which LeMay was telling McNamara that if we lose the war, we'll be counted as war criminals, you know.
	Everything's a diversion to what this country's done, just like I had mentioned before about all those countries the United States has attacked.
	None of them have ever launched an attack on the United States.
	It's all to bring these into a world government so they have total control, either through the IMF, which is the military arm of the U.S. military, to soak people into massive debt so they can't do anything, they can't do nothing with their people, they can't sell their wares or commerce or any of that stuff, and the U.S. is the one that survives.
	That's what they want.
	Here's further from the article I was reporting about the span.
	Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin is done with Trump's two-faced effort to end the war in Ukraine, and Putin has now launched what looks like a final massive assault designed to collapse the Kiev regime.
	Trump boasted during his campaign he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.
	He also talked a lot about getting Iran to give up its nuclear program.
	But his whole strategy against Iran seemed predicated on the notion that if you don't do what I say and stop enriching uranium, we will bomb you to oblivion.
	Predictably, both of Trump's efforts in Ukraine and Iran have ended in failure, honestly.
	I'm not convinced they were ever intended to succeed.
	Washington is built for war, not diplomacy.
	Just as you have been implying, Keith, go with it.
	Yeah, well, yeah.
	Trump, like I say, in that video from Midas Touch here on YouTube this morning, the guy outlined all the times that Donald, there's like 15 different videos about how Trump is going to bring peace.
	I would like to opine this.
	If Trump couldn't stop the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, and yet they could do a pandemic and shut the entire planet down, does that tell you what the agenda is?
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah.
	You know, the thing is, I would like to add to that.
	So I've made the points before, and I still believe there's some validity to them, that Trump is a mixed bag.
	I think he's part authentic and part actor.
	And the part of him that is authentic, that really probably does believe in some of the things he's trying to do here in America, and he probably does have a fondness for America as it exists in his memory, right?
	He's running smack up against the real people that are in control.
	I mean, in other words, he is and has been opposed.
	And people like to talk, oh, the Democrats, but all that's a bunch of nonsense.
	But yeah, there's real power in this world, a real power in this country.
	And Trump is up against it.
	And as I made the point years ago, and I'm sure Jim remembers me making it, unless Trump is prepared to be the strongman and to have tribunals and to firing squad people, he will fail in whatever agenda he attempts to pursue because these people that really do have power and control will not allow it.
	So, you know, whether he wants to stop the war or not genuinely, I don't know.
	But we all see what's happening, you know, as has been made clear by some of your Wednesday shows, Jim, with Russ and Joaquin, Trump's being hemmed in and also misled.
	So, you know, it's just, it's one of those things.
	Yeah, I mean, the question is, is B.B. supposed to be Trump's puppet or is B.B. Trump's master?
	I'm more inclined to think he's the master and Trump is the puppet.
	Well, I was going to say, when you control the world's economy through banking, all that stuff, that's your blackmail right there, that if you don't do as we say, we're going to shut your entire economy down.
	Right.
	Well, I think I think he's the the take that Keith brought early on in the show adds a more complete picture when he talked about the fact.
	I think that that is a very, very accurate reflection of the reality, is that it works both ways.
	In other words, we're not getting nothing out of this.
	The people that are, like I said, are running the show, big business, big oil.
	And so on and so forth.
	They want what's happening over there, and Israel is more than happy to do it for the billions and billions of dollars and the equipment that we give them.
	So it's a two-way street, and unfortunately, sometimes the side that Keith brought up gets overlooked.
	And I think it's a perfect setup, in other words, to blame Israel as the big bad, you know, boogeyman, the big bad Zionist boogeyman all the time.
	And in reality, they're carrying out the essential wishes of the people that are running the show both here and in England.
	And they use anti-Semitism laws to shut down any dissent.
	Right.
	So I think it's kind of a triad at this point, and I don't know which one's more predominant, but it's a triad between the city of London, Washington, D.C., and Tel Aviv.
	And, you know, so, you know, in that respect, all the rhetoric that a lot of these Arabs have been talking about for a very long time, they're exactly correct, and that's something they just cannot oppose.
	In other words, the average Arab state cannot take on, you know, England, United States.
	Israel and France as well.
	They're going to be involved.
	They have been involved in the past.
	They're under our thumb, and you can't blame them for disliking it.
	I do not see how Russia, Iran, and China cannot get the message here that the West is completely untrustworthy, that Israel is like a...
	Iran, and China defend themselves against the threat, they are going to be destroyed.
	I don't think there's any room for doubt about it.
	If anyone had a lingering sympathy, The world can have no more illusions.
	I mean, this is unbelievably bad, the acts of perfidy here, treachery, betrayal by the United States are so manifest, I think everybody, even Vladimir Putin, who has resisted.
	Gets it now.
	Keith?
	Well, you've got to remember, like I was saying there with Kent State, when you want to control everyone, you can do it by dissent, whether it's the truckers in Canada, you debank them.
	Here, they cancel mortgages, they put you out of business.
	I mean, either you're with them or against them, if you remember George W. Bush, you know, they have an agenda.
	It's all spelled out in all these papers from all these state groups about what their plans are, how they've been planning it.
	And I will say this about the religious portion of it.
	When they use that Romans 8 about give unto Caesar what's due to Caesar, see, these religions, if they don't toe the line, they'll lose their 501c3 exemption, which means they'll have to rely on their so-called parishioners to support the church.
	When you shut down the economy, millions lose their job.
	These churches are dependent upon that tax exemption.
	Otherwise, they go out of business.
	And, of course, that's what the government wants because religion brings civil, what do you call it, reality to things about loving the enemy, all this stuff like that.
	But you have to have a constant enemy for this entire system to keep working.
	Paul, Keith, I cannot thank you enough for joining me today on short notice in the case of Keith.
	Everyone, spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends and people you love and care about.
	We do not know how much time we have left.
	Use it wisely.
	Support Revolution Radio.
	Have a great weekend, and if we're lucky, back on Monday.
	See you then.
