Time Text
And welcome, folks, to truth versus all that news out there.
And we have got a show for you here on October the 27th, the week of Halloween.
Things are getting frightening and getting heavy out there in the news, my friends, I tell you.
And you've got the experts who really share things with you.
We are so blessed to have Jim Petscher be our guiding light and our author who's written other fantastic, written fantastic books that you really need to have in your collection to understand what really has happened in this world.
And Jim is just leading us into a world of insight that nobody else could provide.
Plus, we have Brian Davidson.
Oh, he's an investigator, private investigator out of Texas who really digs for the facts and knows how to report them.
Then we have him all the way living in Bali.
He's just volley high out there.
And he is a great writer and intellect and regular West Point.
What a team we have here.
And so you should listen up and curious.
You're going to learn something today.
How about it, Jim, if we start off with the potential of World War III?
Well, you got it right.
On Ukraine and Venezuela, there's a suggestion that Trump needs to dump the psycho fans.
Not too likely, alas.
There's a lot of smoke being blown about big deals and huge wins, but true military professional will tell him the hard truth.
While diplomats labor to produce the Dayton Accords in 1995, then Secretary of Defense Bill Perry advised, no agreement is better than a bad agreement.
Given that Washington's allies in London, Paris, Berlin, and Warsaw are opposed to any outcome that might end the war in Ukraine.
No agreement may be profitable.
But for President Trump, there's no point in equating the illusion of peace in Ukraine with a meaningless ceasefire that settles nothing.
Today, Ukraine is mired in corruption, starring the very highest levels of the administration in Kiev, saying $175 billion borrowed money there.
For however long it takes, it's turned out to be worse than reckless.
U.S. national sovereign debt is nearing 38 trillion, rising 425 billion each passing month.
President Trump needs to turn his attention away from funding Joe Biden's wars and instead focus on the faltering American economy.
Meanwhile, we have Larry Wilkerson and Larry Johnson talking about the world on the brink of World War III.
They have a lot to say.
Collapse in Ukrainian support for the war.
A gala head just 23%.
That's less than a quarter.
Zelensky came out today praising President Trump's proposal for freezing the front lines of battle as part of a ceasefire.
He said that's a good compromise.
So people view your coming here as, you know, you're lobbying the U.S. government to continue its involvement in the war.
You're obviously lobbying for more NATO weapons to be sent to Ukraine, but Ukrainians themselves don't want to fight the war.
So how do you justify that morally?
Well, I'm lobbying only for one thing, and that is to make sure that we end this war.
And I don't have to lobby the president because we totally agree on this.
And this is what he has been doing from day one.
Everything he could do to bring to death focus Bhutan, get the dialogue going, dialoguing also with Zelensky, and getting this war.
It's crucial.
And the fact that the U.S. is now supplying weapons into Ukraine, paid for by allies, is extremely important.
And that's now happening since two, three months.
That's about 2 billion movement to Ukraine.
Why do you think I don't wind it down now?
Do you think more weapons will wind down the war?
No, I mean, there's more to be done.
So what you need, what the president said this weekend, stop where you are, to basically do a ceasefire and then have all your discussions about territory and whatever.
But first, stop the war.
This is what you said on Friday.
And on Sunday.
It's a war.
I mean, your question is really a fair one.
It's a war that should have never started.
You know how I feel about it.
But it's a war that should have never started.
And we're not selling any weapons to Ukraine.
We're selling them to NATO, which is different from before with Biden.
He just gave $350 billion worth of weapons and Apologies.
Apologies.
Apologies.
We sell them to NATO.
And in theory, you do what you want with them.
It doesn't have to be Ukraine, but probably it is mostly.
No, what nations are doing now is buying from this program and making sure that the supplies are here.
You get the tone, Colonel.
There is no policy to end this war on the part of the United States.
Well, I don't necessarily agree with that.
I don't agree with the lies that Trump just told.
He didn't serve a first term and he didn't do things in that first term that were directly opposed to what he was saying there.
But that aside, there's pressure on Trump right now from inside his administration, particularly Scott Besson, that idiot who's the Secretary of the Treasury, and Marco Rubio.
In fact, I have no doubt that Marco Rubio said some things in his phone call with Lavrov that essentially foreclosed immediately Ravov's appreciation for any meeting in Budapest.
And I have no idea if Marco Rubio was approved to say the things he said in that phone call by Donald Trump.
Maybe he was because Trump was trying to get off the dagger he was sitting on.
He's got his main man in the Senate, Lindsey Graham.
He's got the Secretary of State, as I just indicated.
He's got the Secretary of the Treasury, others within his administration who are as adamant as those Europeans and as stupid as Mark Ruta about this war.
And they don't want it to stop.
And that's why they had to foreclose the meeting in Budapest.
And the other things that have come out about that meeting are pretty damning in terms of the United States and Donald Trump himself, because he gave in to all these people at the last minute, as it were, after more or less assuring Putin that they were going to have some kind of meeting.
And even more importantly, a meeting that would be different from any previous one.
A meeting that would have teams with papers and with solutions to problems.
And they would sit down and have a real, what we used to call summit, where working parties would do the things that the principles essentially expressed in general terms.
All of that was killed.
And it was killed essentially by Rubio's phone call with Lavrov.
So he's got these powers within the administration who are handcuffing him.
And I'm not trying to make excuses for this indecipherable moron we have as president, but he does have problems within his own administration in moving out the way he'd like to move.
Indecipherable moron, Mr. President.
Meanwhile, it turns out Russia has a new nuclear-powered cruise missile that's described as shattering American strategic dominance right here on Intel Drop.
The successful test of Russia's Brevisnik nuclear-powered cruise missile on October 21st represents the most significant shift in the global strategic balance at the advent of the intercontinental ballistic missile.
It's not a mere incremental advance in weapon technology.
It's a fundamental rupture in the logic of modern warfare and deterrence.
The Beresnik, with its demonstrated capability for 14,000 kilometer, 15-hour flight, renders the entire post-Cold War U.S. investment in missile defense past President Blant obsolete.
This weapon system, described by President Putin as unique, unlike anything else in the world, successfully operationalize a concept long considered a technological fantasy, a low-flying, indefinitely loitering nuclear armed cruise missile.
It is the physical embodiment of an asymmetrical warfare doctrine designed explicitly to bypass and negate American technological superiority, as articulated by former U.S. Army officer Stanislaw Krapinik in a strategic communication via RT.
The Brezhnev functions as the ultimate second strike weapon, forcing the U.S. to defend its entire territory simultaneously and indefinitely, a task that is logistically impossible and financially catastrophic.
Jim, are you getting a picture?
We don't have a picture.
Right now, you don't have the picture.
Okay, let me do it.
Black screen.
Is that right, Joachim?
No, I'll fix it.
Yeah.
There we go.
No, no, no, you don't have what you want.
All you got right now is a black screen.
Yeah.
You should have a new Cold War.
Okay, let me try once more.
Okay.
Black screen.
Still black screen.
No.
You don't have new Cold War.
That's what I want.
Yeah.
Okay.
Trump warned Putin about nuclear submarine just offshore after Russia brags about the flying Chernobyl missile.
President Trump issued a warning to Vladimir Putin Monday aboard Air Force One saying, they know we have a nuclear submarine, the greatest in the world right off their shore, after the Russian leader boasted about testing a new invincible nuclear-powered missile dubbed a flying Chernobyl.
We've just reviewed the bidding there.
What Trump doesn't seem to appreciate is that the existence of those nuclear subs is well known.
The Russians have their own stealth sub-killers tracking them.
And when the time comes, they'll be taken out.
So, what Trump has said is really no bona fide response, but a PR gesture.
Joachim, your thoughts.
Well, it looks like in every area of the world, we have us going to war.
I mean, it goes back and forth with Trump, where he's meeting with Putin in person, and the reports are: oh, yeah, we're making a lot of progress, you know, to end the war in Ukraine, blah, blah, blah.
And then the next minute, you know, he's buying into more economic sanctions, trying to control Russian oil, the two largest oil companies in Russia.
I mean, you know, he's constantly going back and forth.
And the bottom line is the line that's getting to all of us is he's going for war, you know, which only tells me he's not in control.
And there are bigger forces, obviously, that are far more in control than any puppet politician in this world.
Whether we're talking, you know, the West or the East.
I believe that, you know, the bankers' wars are the ones that control everything.
You know, money has all the power.
So, yeah, I mean, in every department, we're seeing Trump fall apart.
He's a thug.
And, you know, and then yet at the same time, during the Vietnam War, he avoided the draft.
So, I mean, he's a total enigma.
He's a total actor, a bad actor at that, a total showman that's out there as the puppet president, but he like has to throw his weight around as a thug, meaning like he's the king.
You know, there's been a lot of talk about that.
And so, every step, everything that he does backfires.
And we're seeing it right before our eyes.
This entire year has been one disaster after the next with him and his presidency.
And it only shows the bottom line is we're going to war.
So it only shows it doesn't matter who's in the White House.
You know, they're all controlled by the same central, basically one world government addicts that are going towards it.
So, you know, it looks pretty bad this week, going from bad to worse every week.
Brian.
Yeah, what happened to Trump, Donald Trump, the version that did the political rallies that said he was going to get us out of a war?
So far, the reality in Ukraine is that we've committed $175 billion to them since 2022.
And basically, what we've done is set up a Western state that mirrors Ukrainian government.
Just to give you some perspective on that, the national debt right now is $38 trillion, rising at $425 billion a month if the current spending continues.
So, therefore, and just to give you a feel for how much is $175 billion committed to Ukraine, that's the entire U.S. Department of Education budget for three solid years.
Ukraine's gross domestic product prior to the war was less than 200 billion.
So, again, we've effectively financed almost an entire mirror state economy over there in Ukraine.
Strategic gain, none so far.
Russia still holds the Donbass and Crimea.
Everything's stalemated.
Diplomatic benefits, zero.
NATO unity is kind of fraying, but it's really not calling for a full-on renegotiation of everything.
There's been almost no economic benefits, and sanctions and aid have driven more energy inflation and have depleted our stockpiles.
So, in business terms, this is a negative ROI project.
Why Donald Trump, the great real estate investor, can't figure that out.
I have no idea.
I guess he's just so busy listening to the war hawks and the sycophants that are telling him that there's an upside for spending all this money, and he's believing that it's actually going to take place.
The argument McGregor is basically making is the 175 billion of borrowed money for however long it takes is just dumber than dumb and worse than reckless.
So, we really haven't gained anything for this.
And so, now we're getting into Venezuela, a full second trap here.
It's a soft target because it's an oil-rich rogue empire near U.S. waters.
But again, we couldn't defeat Russia.
I mean, I guess we just hope that spending all the money and sending up the missiles would be enough to defeat them, but it hasn't done anything.
So, what makes us think that we can all of a sudden bust loose on Venezuela and take them out?
So, again, there's a full-on bureaucratic sickness taking place where the sycophants are basically telling Trump everything he wants to hear, but there's no substitute for character and intelligence, which is what the real fix is going to take.
So, basically, Trump needs to basically abandon all these illusions of quick military wins and go back to the basics, which is rebuild our economic productivity first with factories, energy independence, and discipline, and abandon all these wars that he told us he was going to do.
I guess this is Zionists or big banking structures that are telling him everything he wants to hear.
But man, with friends like that, who needs enemies?
These people are the worst.
Why can't he listen to guys like McGregor and guys like us that tell him the truth regardless of how bad it's going to hurt instead of just basically frosting the guy up and telling him everything he wants to hear about how good this war is going to be with us?
It's just stupid.
I think we're dealing with a Zionist Scooge, and he's not really amenable to breeze.
Meanwhile, Trump turns screwed.
I'd like to say one thing: go right ahead.
The Biravesnik missile that Russia has developed and now it's out there that NATO has called Skyfall.
There's nothing to match it.
This is a nuclear reactor.
It's also very, very small, and it's undetectable by radar.
It flies very low to the ground, which means that it can't be seen.
It won't be noticed.
I mean, this is the basically the check that on a chessboard.
This is checkmate.
Russia has us in checkmate now.
So, and you know, Trump and the United States, they're going to like blow it off.
Oh, it's not real, blah, blah, blah.
It's got all these flaws, and there was an accident and they're testing, you know, nah, it's nothing.
But the bottom line is, yeah, the whole world, because like I say, it's nuclear.
Therefore, you know, it can't be defended with the small, and then we think about the economy and everything else and all the money going into defense.
It is indefensible now, and there's no way the economy will support the protection of America because it costs too much.
So it's really a check made on America now, but I think we're plunging right straight forward into war.
So it's like, you know, we're in a real bad, bad case right now.
Oh, I think you got it exactly right.
Meanwhile, diplomacy watch, Trump turns the screws on Moscow.
In a sudden bad phase, the president went from meeting with Putin to issuing sanctions on Russia's top oil producers.
President Trump announced new sanctions on Russia's leading oil producers in a move dirnet aimed at turning the screws on Moscow and countries that continue to buy Russian oil like India and Turkey.
The decision surprised many Ukraine war observers who had struggled to discern the logic behind Trump's approach to the conflict in recent weeks.
Just days before the sanctions announcement, Trump had held a seemingly cordial phone call with Russian President Putin, after which the U.S. leader had started to lean hard on Ukraine to make concessions.
Trump had even suggested an imminent in-person meeting in Budapest, where we, he and Putin, were expected to make progress toward a peace deal.
But now he seems to have reverted.
Mendivid says Trump's actions are like an act of war against Russia.
Former Russian President Dmitry Mendoved said Thursday it was now absolutely clear the United States was Russia's adversary and that U.S. President Trump's recent steps on Ukraine amounted to an act of war against Russia.
Trump said during the U.S. campaign that he would swiftly end the Ukraine war, which his advent is guessed as a proxy war between Washington and Moscow.
Though he's recently expressed frustration about President Putin, Trump, who has described Russia as a paper tiger, said on Wednesday he had canceled planned summit with Putin and the U.S. Treasury slapped sanctions on two of Russia's biggest oil companies.
The U.S. is our adversary.
And their talkative peacemaker has now fully embarked on the warpath with Russia.
Mended, who serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, wrote on Telegram, referring to Trump.
The decisions taken are an act of war against Russia.
And now Trump has fully aligned himself with looney Europe.
Were it not so?
Meanwhile, Maduro boasts he's moved thousands of Russian anti-air missiles to Venezuela's coast.
Venezuela's president has been warning the armed forces have deployed 5,000 Russian-made Ingla-S anti-aircraft missiles across the territory.
At a moment, President Trump has ordered an unprecedented force buildup in the Caribbean.
Any military force in the world knows the power of the Ingla-S and Venezuela has no less than 500, he told in a televised address to military personnel.
The Pentagon confirmed Friday it had redirected a carrier strike group from the Mediterranean to the Southern Command in operation to join the significant warships already patrolling the waters of Venezuela's coast.
Friday, Trump asked of recent remarks about Maduro offering everything in his country, all its natural resources, to ease tensions with Washington, which Caracas has denied.
Trump, however, said Maduro had offered everything because he doesn't want to half around with the United States.
I dare say he's got 5,000 anti-aircraft missiles.
How many anti-ship missiles does he have in addition?
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard has crushed cartels with a massive haul proving Trump's war on drugs is working.
And by the way, I'm convinced these attacks on boats off of Venezuela, all stage dressing, just to justify the claim Venezuela is a narco-terrorist state.
I suspect they were simply fishing boats and not a narco-terrorist among them.
President Trump launched Operation Pacific Viper in August to wage all-out war on the cartels, flooding America with deadly drugs.
The results speak for themselves.
The Coast Guard seized 100,000 pounds of cocaine through 44 separate interdictions in the East Pacific since the operation began.
That's averaging 1,600 pounds of cocaine shipped every single day.
But I wonder how that compares with the totality.
I'd be willing to bet it's a mere drop in the proverbial bucket.
Joaquin.
Yeah, we know that the United States CIA is a drug runner.
They've been in charge of the world drug trade for, well, it goes back to Southeast Asia, you know, the Golden Triangle back in the 70s, all the way to the present.
Then they did the cocaine thing in the 80s, bringing it in, you know.
Ah, man, this is crazy because the CIA and the drug cartels, primarily in Mexico, they work together.
That's the bottom line.
So it's a total bullshit excuse to go to war with Venezuela.
It's something like 87 to 90% of all the drugs come up from Mexico or the Pacific.
They come on the Pacific side, not the Venezuelan Atlantic, Caribbean Sea side.
So it's all bogus.
Obviously, the plan is that there's going to be a world war, that Iran is going to shut the Strait of War moose.
The oil flow is going to be absent and oil will become extremely precious in the near future when World War III is going on.
And they're going to tap, steal the Venezuelan oil, which has the largest reserves in the entire world.
So, I mean, it's bottom line.
It's very obvious what's being played here.
It's all based on deception and more death and destruction for the entire planet.
There's nothing redeeming about anything that's going on this week.
It's only going from bad to worse, and we're getting closer and closer to all-out World War III.
I mean, this guy's got the war going still in Europe that he said he was going to end in 24 hours.
The war goes on, of course, in the Middle East, because after all, you know, Trump's a total pawn when it comes to Israel.
He does what he's told.
They've sexually blackmailed this pedophile Trump for a long time, not to mention Miriam Adelson and all the rest of the billions going into his pocket to do what Israel's bidding is.
So, you know, and now he's making war with Venezuela.
I mean, on and on it goes.
It can't get much worse other than the all-out World War III that's coming.
Right.
Clarify, you were saying that the CIA is in charge of and in control of drugs in Milito?
Oh, yeah.
DEA, CIA, they're in it together.
They make all the big profits.
It's dirty black money, black Operation money.
They're making the problems.
They're not solving the problems.
Absolutely.
They are the problem.
Yeah.
Ryan.
You know, when the guys on the left can't beat you, they try to punish you with cancellation.
And it's interesting that Trump knows that he can't win this thing with Russia.
And so he's trying to change the war from a front war where blood is spilled to an economic war, but that's still war.
And it shows such weakness to say, oh, well, we can't win a war.
So we're going to try to do economic war using sanctions and swift codes.
But at the meantime, the same human toll is taking place out there.
And then Trump is also trying to negotiate different things with different countries to try to weaken Russia, but punishing Russia with China's help basically just says India is going to buy all the barrels of oil because what India won't buy because China will, it's all paid in Chinese money anyway.
And so trying to use debt as a weapon to wield power while drowning ourselves in debt is total self-deception for Trump.
He should have taken more time to try to negotiate this and understand the different positions.
But again, Trump's caught up in the war hawk mentality.
His sanctions basically look like power, but they reveal a massive weakness.
When we can't win on the field and instead we use bans, when we can't lead, we'll use economic punishment.
Basically, it's just, it feels like we're sort of at the moment before collapse where we're desperately trying to negotiate for our own lives by threatening and puffing ourselves up and trying to shake hands with new partners and new dangers.
The script is getting really, really strange.
It's basically an escalating posture that's sort of self-fulfilling.
Consider, do we really want peace or are we just simply preparing for the next level of the war with Russia?
So when the former Russian president stands up and says your moves are acts of war and you don't step back and you just treat it as rhetoric, that means that the war machine is speaking and America just can't hear it.
This is really ugly.
We don't really have any deterrence anymore, except for economic pressure, which is akin to the left canceling the right's position.
And this is the same thing that's taking place with Maduro.
Remember, Venezuela and Russia have very close relationships.
So is this just another front that we've decided to open up to try to weaken Russia?
And again, we have to ask ourselves the question, if we can't win on the Ukrainian front and we can't win on the Gaza front, now we're going to win on the Venezuelan front.
It's insane.
Look, I have a feeling that we're on the verge of something very, very ugly here.
It's just getting too out of control in terms of our inability to actually do anything that has any effective measure whatsoever.
I think the world's becoming stronger than America and Israel at this particular point in time, and they know it, which is why BRICS is gaining momentum, and which is why the world doesn't seem to be scared of our war drums anymore.
Instead, they're just teaming up with the enemy of the enemy.
The enemy of my enemy becomes my friend.
We're doing more to make enemies around the world than anybody else.
And NATO is starting to cut us off.
And the international courts of criminal justice are making us look as weak as ever.
We got to break this alliance with Israel and start standing on our own and think about building up our own economy before we continue to be involved in all these wars.
Plus, Maduro has a four million man militia should we decide to land in Bayesia, which Trump has hinted repeatedly, as unbelievable as that sounds.
Oddly enough, Trump has threatened to end all support for Israel if we're to annex the West Bank.
Though others observe, the annexation is already basically complete.
Great marketing ideas don't just fall from the sky.
Innovative brands.
Well, is Trump becoming a real strong man or what?
He is now threatening to pull U.S. support for Israel if they annex the West Bank.
But here's the thing.
They already have.
They just don't call it that.
I'm going to show you what I mean.
But first, let me explain what set Trump off to the point where he's actually threatening to cut Israel off.
Yesterday, the Knesset, while J.D. Vance was still in the country, voted to annex the West Bank.
Let me show you what J.D. Vance had to say about that.
Yeah, go ahead.
We'll do it.
The West Bank vote yesterday that took place while you were in the country.
Oh, yeah, that was weird.
That was weird.
I was sort of confused by that.
Now, I actually asked somebody about it, and they told me that it was a symbolic vote, some symbolic vote to recognize or a symbolic vote to annex the West Bank.
I mean, what I would say to that is when I asked about it, somebody told me that it was a political stunt, that it had no practical significance.
It was purely symbolic.
I mean, look, if it was a political stunt, it was a very stupid political stunt.
And I personally take some insult to it.
The West Bank is not going to be annexed by Israel.
The policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank will not be annexed by Israel.
That will continue to be our policy.
And if people want to take symbolic votes, they can do that.
But we certainly weren't happy about it.
Thank you.
You know, I didn't think it could happen to me, but just recently, someone stole my information and actually bought a car under my name in Texas while I was standing in the Idaho DMV getting my new driver's license.
A thief was.
About that.
Meanwhile, Jared Kushner, two years before October 7th.
It makes me sick that they think we're this dumb.
85% of Gaza has been destroyed in this pre-planned, controlled demolition of Gaza.
Ibinetanyahu is on camera explicitly before October 7th, saying we need to hit them so hard that they can't come back.
Jared Kushner is involved in he will financially benefit from whatever they build in its place.
Again, all of this began before October 7th.
There is a concerted effort to make Candace Owens look like she's absolutely insane because of what she said in that clip.
Oh, she's being conspiratorial.
She doesn't know what she's talking about.
But it looks like Candace Owens was onto something when she made those statements because according to reports in Israeli media, which is what I like to read, Jared Kushner, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Oracle's Larry Ellison are planning to turn Gaza into a haven for billionaires.
In other words, ethnic cleansing still on the table.
Of course.
Yeah.
So I'm going to show you a screenshot of the piece I'm talking about.
It had to be translated to English, okay?
But it's from a website, an Israeli publication known as Globes.
Jared Kushner and Peter Thiel are also in Gaza could become a tax haven that will bring about the normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia.
The huge economic project of rebuilding Gaza after the war is already attracting interest from countries, billionaires, and former leaders, from Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who aspires to establish AI centers in the Strip, to foreign investors looking for enabling regulation.
Experts predict the development initiatives could serve as leverage to promote normalization with Saudi Arabia, also through Kushner's involvement.
But the road there is still fraught with political and security obstacles.
Fascinating.
Now, look, if that sounds crazy to you, I just want everyone to believe people when they say out loud what they intend to do.
And Jared Kushner is really no exception.
Take a look.
There are real fears on the part of Arabs, and I'm sure you talked to a lot of them who think once Gazans leave Gaza, Netanyahu's never going to let them back in.
Maybe, but I'm not sure there's much left of Gaza at this point.
So, you know, if you think about even the construct, like, you know, Gaza, Gaza was not really a historical precedent, right?
It was the result of a war.
And so my sense is, is I would say, how do we deal with the terror threat that is there so that it cannot be a threat to Israel or to Egypt, right?
I think that both sides are spending a fortune on military.
I think neither side really wants to have, you know, a terrorist organization enclaved right between them.
And Gaza's waterfront property.
It could be very valuable.
But I think from Israel's perspective, I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up.
He said it out loud.
Yep.
He said it out loud, guys.
So look, I have a lot of areas of disagreement with Candace Owens.
There's no question.
But to make her out to be insane for saying statements like that, I think is crazy.
The people accusing her of being crazy are the real insane people because it's all right here in front of us, guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's all politics trying to cover what they're doing with the genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Meanwhile, unsurprisingly, a sanitation disaster is unfolding in the displacement camps.
I mean, they're bereft of all the necessities of a humane life.
Ceasefire is a relief.
After two years of surviving war, we can finally breathe.
But that doesn't mean our suffering is over.
For many of us, it's only just begun.
The tents, the people still living in them, stand as a heavy reminder that our struggles are far from over.
After two years of immense destruction by the Israeli military, most families in Gaza are now living in tents, nylons and fabric that don't protect them either from summer or winter.
Intent live.
There's an unlivable war.
A war that doesn't begin with bombs, but with the absence of everything that makes life human.
It's a war of swab hunts or the denial of clean water, the lack of hygiene, the absence of toilets, dignity, and safety.
I'm not writing this as a distant witness.
No, I'm writing this from within it, from the ground, from inside the tent.
These are not stories I've heard.
These are the sensations I have experienced.
And Max Lumenthal on a short history of Israel breaking one ceasefire after another.
It happens.
Hey, James Tallarico, and I'm asking you to become a founding donor of my campaign for the Donald Trump claimed credit for historic diplomatic achievement when he secured a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas this October 11th.
But is peace possible with a country that has existed since its inception in a perpetual state of war?
Just over a week after the deal was signed on October 11th, Israel accused Hamas of flagrantly violating the brand new ceasefire agreement by killing several of its soldiers while operating in Rafah.
Hamas has stringently denied any responsibility for the attack, which took place in a depopulated, destroyed area fully occupied by Israel.
And just a day after the Trump administration weirdly warned that Hamas was planning to break the ceasefire by attacking Palestinian civilians.
Israel responded to the supposed violation with a wave of airstrikes that slaughtered scores of civilians in the Gaza Strip in just one day and by refusing to allow aid into the besieged enclave.
Meanwhile, an unnamed Pentagon official revealed to media outlets that the Trump administration knew that Hamas had not attacked Israeli soldiers in Rafah and that they had been killed when their vehicles ran over an old IED.
Today, Netanyahu seems desperate for some pretext to resume the war, and he's under mounting pressure to do so from the fanatical elements holding together his narrow coalition.
I think that's absolutely right.
Max Blumenthal is just a wonderful truth speaker walking your thoughts.
Yeah, regarding this war in Gaza, quote, genocide, really.
Yeah, Max Blumenthal tells it like it is all the time.
The reality is Netanyahu never planned to hold back, even though there's a ceasefire in place.
Just look at history over and over again.
He has never upheld a single agreement this man has ever made.
He always goes back.
And so, yeah, they killed over 100 Palestinians just since October 10th.
The ceasefire went into effect.
And they're also still bombing out southern Lebanon, killing more innocent people there.
And that's, quote, under a ceasefire, too.
So, I mean, it's a joke to even think that Israel is going to uphold their agreement when they make it over and over and over and then break it over and over.
It's the same old thing.
Just look at history and you know what's in store.
So it's all about Trump and saying, yeah, he brokered this deal and he's the Nobel Real Prize winner, you know.
Yeah, it's over and over the same BS and we don't get the truth out of what's really going on over and over and over.
And regarding Jared Kushner, you know, Shabbad Lubavitch member, like his wife and father-in-law.
Yeah, he's had design on turning Gaza into the Riviera of the Mediterranean, the Eastern Mediterranean, for years now.
I mean, between Witkopf, the real estate billionaire, and Kushner, the real estate guy, you know, I mean, that's all they see is the dollar signs in their eyes, you know.
That's what they're developing right now.
They have absolutely no regard for the human element of Palestinian life.
They have zero regard.
You know, the Shabbat Lubavitch think that the Jews are the only ones and that all the Goyan population, which is every single non-Jew on this earth, are animals.
That's the level they put us all at.
So that tells the story of what we're seeing in this world.
You know, they got the Slavic population killing each other off in Ukraine, you know.
And a lot of the, you know, Zelensky's a Jew.
He's married to Israel.
He's saying, yeah, Ukraine's going to be the second Israel.
You know, I mean, it's all interwoven and inter-webbed here with this evil force of, you know, the worst elements of Shabbat are satanic.
And these people are, I believe, satanic.
And they're driven as puppets by a satanic force on this earth that's been in place a long, long time.
And therefore, they're all pawns.
They're all puppets that work for this satanic force that's been in control of the earth for a long, long time.
And so, yeah, every single thing here, you know, it's all lining up to tell the same truth in every story, really.
And then Trump, this, I can't believe where Trump is actually saying, I'm going to stop all support for Israel if you take over.
Well, they've already taken over.
There's thousands of illegal Israeli citizens that are killing the Palestinians on the West Bank.
I mean, over and over, we're seeing it.
And the Nesset, you know, decided, yeah, we're going to go ahead and annex.
They made that decision a long time ago.
It's obvious.
It's all too obvious what the intent is.
They plan on having, quote, Judea and Samaria, you know, which is like, you know, the West Bank.
So, you know, for them to pretend that Trump is going to stop all, that's all bullshit.
It's all bullshit.
Because again, Trump is very compromised, not only with bribery, but sexual blackmail, running with Epstein.
Well, we can't forget about the Epstein files now, can we?
So yeah, everything's a bruce.
Everything is played out.
It's a drama.
It's staged and it's been planned well in advance.
And we're seeing it over and over with every single item this week that's come up.
We're seeing this moving movement towards all-out war on many different war fronts as they crash the economy.
Brian.
Yeah, Gaza, what a bunch of deception.
Well, he was exactly right about what to get from it.
Let's just take a closer look at it.
Trump is telling Americans and he's telling everybody that he's the strong man.
He's even quote unquote threatening to pull U.S. support if Israel annexes the West Bank.
But while he talks tough, Israel's Knesset already voted to annex the territory.
They just called it symbolic.
And that video of J.D. Vance, while he's in Israel, when the vote takes place, and he calls it a political stunt and said that it had no practical significance, but it did have practical significance.
They passed it 25 to 24.
That means it's just four more rounds of voting before it becomes a law.
Netanyahu called it not the right time.
He didn't say it was the wrong thing.
He just said, oh, not now, but soon.
And while politicians sit around and debate the timing, the settlers are already doing their best to enforce annexation on the ground.
They're continuing to attack Palestinians.
They're continuing to torch homes that are being protected by the idea.
And there's all sorts of things going on with American Jews that have been ambushed by Israeli soldiers documenting the assaults.
It's going both ways in terms of everything that's taking place.
And you can't blame the Palestinians for trying to defend themselves when the IDF is so busy up there above.
But Trump is saying, oh, I gave my word to the Arab countries, Israel's not going to annex.
And if they do, they're cut off.
But this is the same guy that moved the embassy to Jerusalem and also empowered all the same donors who want the West Bank.
His tough talk makes America look like we're just absolute fools.
But Israel acts like it really knows who holds all the cards.
The next stage is Gaza.
And what's really going on there is that it's waterfront property and they want to move the people out and clean it up.
Folks, that's not reconstruction.
That's real estate.
That's ethnic cleansing that's fundamentally rebranded as an innovative new way to negotiate peace.
So the media is completely silent about everything.
The American media says nothing.
They're afraid of losing their jobs or being labeled anti-Semites.
In Israel, journalists are being fired because they're trying to get this to the front, but none of the newspapers can control it.
So basically, all you have to do is connect the dots here.
The settlers are going to clear the land under the IDF's protection of the West Bank.
Gaza is going to be bulldozed, and billionaires are going to prepare to rebuild it all for profit.
They call it peace.
They call it normalization, but it's basically just annexation through demolition.
And this is, again, the same theme we've seen forever: peace, peace, when there is no peace, and rebuild when the people have nowhere to go.
Okay, so what?
They're going to be living on the streets and in the sewers, homeless when they've got nowhere to go.
But we're going to go ahead and let Trump and his team move in with a bunch of rebuilders.
This is going to get so ugly.
Mass murder and land-grab galore.
Bad, bad, bad.
Meanwhile, fans in Israel condemned the very event you were describing as a stupid political stunt, which was an insult.
Info War is reporting.
Israel's parliament has given initial approval to a controversial bill that would extend Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank, widely viewed as tantamount to a full Israeli annexation of the Palestinian territory in a move widely considered internationally and even receiving strong pushback from the United States.
The measure nearly passed its preliminary reading with 25 in favor, 24 opposed in the 120 cent Knesset.
The bill now moves to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee for further debate.
Luke Kidd called the vote.
Another provocation by the opposition aimed at damaging our relations with the United States.
True sovereignty will be achieved through a showy law through record, but through not through a showy law for record, but through proper work on the ground.
But it was Vance's response that might the most heated, full-throated denunciation of a stupid political stunt, which was an insult.
But he also said, as you've observed, that it may have been merely symbolic.
The West Bank will not be annexed by Israel.
We certainly weren't happy about it, Vance had emphasized the policy of the Trump administration.
Vance, favored to be the next Republican president after Trump, is likely to remember this frustrating and perhaps disrespectful moment.
Also, at a time, the right in American politics and discourse is increasingly divided on policy toward Israel.
Don, take us out.
I can't hear you, Don.
You're muted.
You want me?
Yeah, I wanted you.
Yeah.
Oh, we still have some time left.
I thought we had some comments.
Oh, I'm glad to.
Joaquin, your thoughts.
Yeah.
Well, let's face it: the political, stupid stunt.
Miriam Adelson made a condition that she's going to give millions of her money to Trump away based on the promise that he deliver the West Bank.
Duh, you know, and now they're all up, you know, oh, we're not going to even support Israel anymore.
That's so much bullshit.
You know, they got him by the balls, literally, because of what he did with his balls when he was a friend of you know who.
You know, so yeah, I mean, this is totally ridiculous because we know America is not in control.
And the founders of Israel, the Rothschild banking dynasty that owns the central banking world, they're in control.
And therefore, America does what they're told, and especially Shabbat Lubavitch Trump.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
125,000 Israeli citizens have left the country between early 2022 and mid-2024.
That's like the largest loss of citizens in modern Israeli history.
It's not a wave of emigration.
It's not brain drain for better jobs or education.
It's fundamentally political chaos and insecurity.
People are fleeing the country because they don't trust the leadership for the future.
The war in Gaza has dragged on for nearly two years.
Ordinary Israelis see no end to it, only escalating violence and more isolation from the rest of the world.
That's not a safe haven for the Jewish people that they were promised.
It's constant mobilization and constant fear.
And the people are being used as a political cudgel to help drain the rest of the Israelis' potential settlement.
Their own internal politics are completely poisonous.
Netanyahu's coalition basically empowered religious hardliners and oligarchs, and they dictate how national life is going to be lived.
People are tired of living in a perpetual state of emergency where every disagreement becomes treason, everybody gets canceled, and everybody gets the old cold shoulder from all the rest of the community.
And I would guess that among Israeli citizens, the moral exhaustion is completely real, just like it is with Americans.
The same government that tells the world it's defending democracy has normalized surveillance, occupation, murder, endless war, killing babies.
And October 7th, which I imagine most of the Israeli citizens can recognize as an absolutely stupid false flag, the statistics are absolutely brutal.
They're all leaving right now.
It's the longest loss, the largest loss of human capital in such a short period of time.
Scientists, engineers, professors, medical staff, and they have no plan to bring people back because they're such a mess.
So, folks, I'm saying that what they're doing is they're driving out the middle class.
Sound familiar?
So they can leave nothing left but room for the billionaires and the oligarchs.
Israel is going to be the new Jackson hole filled with the darkest, nastiest people that this world has ever seen.
Don, take us out.
Oh, yeah, now I'll take us out.
I got to make a comment here.
You know, I think my little graphic behind me that I got from Joaquim here is hot on here.
I mean, this is really what our show is about, and it's pretty heavy, and we're targets and war and everything coming on.
Oh, here on October the 27th, 2025.
Well, you're going to want to come back for the second half because we got more to show that you need to know.
So, thank you for watching and God bless.
Come on, back.
