I'm Proud to Work With James 00:01:39
Welcome folks to Troop versus News.
News Incorporated.
All that news is out there clogging up the airways and confusing the heck out of you.
They're screaming out.
And I'm Donald Glenner, host of the last 200 years, and I'm so proud to be working with a gentleman who is just a fantastic person here, James Becher.
He's just a pinnacle of news coverage.
He's written books like Nobody Died on Sandy Hook in America, Nuke on 9-11, and JFK, and other books about Boston and about other things that you should know about and have in your library at least.
But Jim is just the best man I know with the media and just so proud to be working with him.
I also have Brian Davidson.
And Brian is just doing so good that as a private investigator out of Texas.
And he knows what's happening and tells it like it is.
Joachim out of Bali, he's got a world perspective on events that nobody else can share, can have, but he shares it very well.
So Jim, I guess we're going to be hitting a real flash point here with a Russian spy satellite being destroyed in space.
That's pretty heavy.
I'm just saying that so much of my success has been due to individuals, brilliant contributors like Brian and Joachim.
We have a first report.
I've been saying that if the war broke out, the first to go would be the satellites, and that's what we got.
U.S. Electronic Warfare in the Persian Gulf 00:16:03
Hal Turner, Russian spy satellite destroyed in space.
He makes some very interesting observations about it.
A Russian recon satellite named Luch was destroyed last night in space.
The destruction just happened to be watched by the Swiss company S2A, which recorded video of the satellite being destroyed.
Why would the company S2A just happen to be recording that particular Russian satellite?
I mean, there are thousands of satellites up there at the precise moment it was destroyed.
Could they have had advance warning it was going to happen?
It appears that NATO has destroyed a Russian satellite by NATO's own standards.
Such an act is an act of war.
Meanwhile, we also have a key surveillance, Iranian sea surveillance site having been destroyed as well.
There has been a massive explosion of what's known as the beating heart of surveillance causing the fall of the CI in Bandar Abbas.
In a shocking and dramatic scenario, reports indicate a massive explosion in one of the most vital and secret monitoring centers of the Iranian Armed Forces in the strategic region of Bandar Abbas, a center that was known as the Vigilant Eye for controlling maritime traffic and monitoring the sensitive islands of the region.
Scanning map below shows a key location of the city.
The destruction of this facilities leaves Iranian island in the Persian Gulf on the edge of an abyss.
Without the Bandar Abbas Monitoring Center, the Persian Gulf Islands are like soldiers abandoned at pitch darkness.
This situation has shattered the most sacred events, leaving each island alone against advanced threats, a condition of military terms that is called absolute defenselessness against coordinated invasion.
And there is more.
Electronic warfare jamming has begun again, Hal Turner.
Ships and aircraft operating in and near the western coast of the Persian Gulf are all suddenly reporting GPS jamming and numerous radar anomalies.
Military analysts say this is likely U.S. electronic warfare kicking in.
Global Insight Journal is reporting that the Iran army stated, We will not submit to America and Israel, and we are ready for any confrontation, whatever its level, even if it reaches the most dangerous forms of war.
Iran International is reporting, a source told Iran International, recent assessments identified a primary objective as delivering a decisive blow to maximally weaken and ultimately collapse Iran's governing structure, a scenario that, in his words, is not comparable in scale or intensity to anything that Iran has experienced so far, indeed.
And China publishing satellite images of brand new U.S. defense systems and millise Hal Turner.
Clearly, China is weighed in big time on behalf of the Iranians.
Chinese satellites are being tasked to take images of recently deployed U.S. air defense systems in the Middle East, and China is making them public.
This provides Iran with free targeting data.
This is pretty much what the United States, Britain, and other countries have been doing to Russia and the Ukraine conflict, using U.S.-UK and other satellites to provide Ukraine with targeting data to Russian forces.
What's the old saying?
Turnabout is fair play.
Now, if the U.S. actually commences military attacks against Iran, then the Iranians now have updated target coordinates for a slew of the new air defense systems.
The U.S. has been rushing into the Middle East.
Iran will be able to take out those new air defenses.
Joachim, your thoughts, my friend.
Well, it's pretty obvious that these are all the telltale signs of a pre-military offensive on the part of the United States and Israel.
Every single one of these items indicate that they're trying to neutralize the intelligence on the part of Iran to not be able to detect what's coming.
And so, you know, and leave it to Hal Turner, who's had years of experience in the intelligence field to be able to deliver this firsthand information promptly ahead of everybody else.
So it's a good fair warning that in all likelihood, you know, and of course, back in the States, our dictator Trump is playing like he's got, there's photos of him like this and mums the word.
He's not revealing any, you know, there's another telltale sign, you know, that he's about ready to strike.
You don't give your offense plan away until it happens.
So, yeah, I'll put it all together and it's pretty well definite evidence that they are planning an offensive against Iran.
And obviously, with that last story, China giving indication of all the locations of the air defense system that are now in place on the part of America in the Middle East, that's a giveaway as well, because it goes public.
And now, you know, Iran has the beat on where they need to target their long-range missiles.
So we're looking at a war between a very strong power, well, the strongest in the Middle East, and a world power now, Iran, versus the world power, the United States.
And of course, we have submarines and all kinds of naval activity, not only with an armada of America there in the Gulf region, but we also have China and Russia closely standing by.
So, you know, for all entails and purposes here, it's looking like it could well be World War III now opening up at any time.
You know, we've been to this place before, but not quite with all these indicators.
It has not happened before where they've been this close to the actual go zone.
So, you know, I anticipate at any time, any day, there's going to be a war between Iran and the United States and Israel.
And that war entails, obviously, allies, Russia and China.
So we're talking about, you know, the biggest nuclear powers now involved in a war.
So it's time to wake up if you're not paying attention.
Brian.
Well, if Turner is credible on these issues, then it looks like the invisible war has become visible.
Space war, cyber war, electronic warfare.
Claiming that that image proves that a Russian satellite has been destroyed, it's a bit of a stretch for me.
It might be true.
Iranian sea surveillance explosion, electronic warfare jamming in the Persian Gulf, and China publishing satellite images of U.S. systems all indicate that we're already in a war.
It's just not the kind of war that people recognize in the sense that Congress has declared it.
I tend to lean towards the idea that most of these stories are signals that are designed to drive resources and funds into different military industrial complex spending projects.
But, you know, the indications are that this is some sort of pre-warfare warfare.
China publishing U.S. intelligence is messaging that China's testing the red lines related to America and that this whole thing is about exposing vulnerabilities and conditioning the public to be tuned in for more.
Modern warfare is all about deception, collapsing awareness, not necessarily cities.
But I can tell you this: if it's true, then diplomacy has failed quietly, and there's nothing left to talk about.
This is going to be a domino that begins to play itself out.
But I've heard a lot of things from Hal Turner, and I'm watching to wait and see when it comes to Hal Turner's predictions developing.
Meanwhile, what the world is going on here?
There we go.
Iran tension, Arab states, and Israel navigate a tightrope.
Amid ongoing diplomatic effort to avert a wider conflict, the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, and Israel are prioritizing their own interests as regional tensions between the U.S. and Iran continue to rise.
Over the past week, the uncertainty over potential U.S. military action against Iran has continued to shape strategic steps across the region.
Saudi Arabia and UAE, both close U.S. allies who also maintain ties with Tehran, said they would not allow their airspace to be used for any attack, regardless of origin.
Egypt's foreign minister, Bedr Abdullahi, whose country has thawed ties with Iran, but is yet to reach a full diplomatic level, spoke with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Argouchi, as well as with U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to work toward achieving calm in order to avoid the region slipping into new cycles of instability.
Meanwhile, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and some 10 U.S. guided missile destroyers capable of launching attacks from the sea have arrived in the region, as noted by shipping tracking site marine traffic.
Military strikes on Iran, now virtually certain, reports a truth seeker from Iran International.
Decision-making circles in the U.S.-Israel have moved past diplomacy with Iran viewing military action as effectively decided.
With only the timing still under debate, a Western source familiar with coordination told Iran International, according to the source, the key question in current meetings is no longer whether an attack will take place, but when an appropriate operational political window will emerge, a window that could open in the coming days or take shape over the course of several weeks.
The source emphasized that at this stage, the logic being discussed, unlike in previous periods, is not based on reaching a new agreement.
As President Trump said Thursday, he planned to speak with Iran even as he sent another warship to the Middle East.
And the Pentagon chief said the military would be ready to carry out whatever the president decided.
Iran, however, declared it will not engage in negotiations unless President Trump stops threatening Iran.
meanwhile u s navy faces major challenges in sustaining combat operations off the coast of iran this is from larry johnson
I posted three of my recent podcasts at the end of this article, but if you only have time to watch one, focus on the fourth.
It's Danny Davis interviewed retired Royal Navy Commander Steve Jeremy, who describes in detail the problems and challenges the U.S. Navy will face if it's parked near Iran's southern border when Donald Trump is the order to attack.
Regarding my podcast, you want to check out my conversation.
So let's look at the three guided missile destroyers that are accompanying the Abraham Lincoln.
Reliable open-source reports from USNI News, the war zone, and other defense outlets consistently identify the following Arley Burke-class guided missile destroyers as escorts, USS Franklin E. Peterson Jr., USS Bruins, USS Michael Murphy.
These three form the core service escort force, providing air defense, anti-sub warfare, anti-surface warfare and strike capability via tomahawks and other weapons in their deployment.
The major vulnerabilities in practice, many cells are allocated to a tomahawk or other munition, so pure air defense counts are lower, 50 to 100 in terms of effective interceptor per ship in a carrier strike group.
The destroyers are equipped with VLS cells, vertical launching system cells, modular components, enable missile launchers.
If Iran decides to fire 300 drones in a swarm attack on the carrier strike force, and each destroyer fires at least two air defense missiles at those drones, that would require 600 air defense missiles, and that's the problem.
Ships Converging Near Hormuz 00:14:10
If each destroyer is carrying loaded tomahawks and they are only carrying a max of 100, not only will the destroyers not have enough interceptors to fend off the striking Iranian drones, they will deplete their missile stock.
Moreover, Chinese destroyers are heading toward the Strait of Hormuz.
Ships from three nuclear powers will meet near Iran.
The situation around the Strait of Hormuz is beginning to escalate amid a U.S. Navy Armada moving in that direction.
Chinese-type 052D and 055 guided missile destroyers are en route for joint exercises with the Iranian and Russian navies in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
The maneuvers will take place January 1st and 2nd, today, tomorrow.
But the present Chinese and Russian ships in these waters could be prolonged, which could significantly impact the timing and geography of U.S. action against Iran as ships from three nuclear powers will now be meeting off the Iranian coast.
Joachim, your thoughts.
Yeah, all more signs that it's a go, a green light for military confrontation.
You know, regarding the missiles in the defense by American ships, yeah, they don't have the numbers that Iran has.
So Iran's going to win in that department.
They're not going to be able to intercept everything coming in.
And they're going to be very susceptible to Iran missile destruction of ships.
So we're going to see ships probably sinking, Americans going down with the ship, and America is directly involved in a major world war with Iran and allies, Russia and China.
So I don't think we've ever in our lifetime, you know, even during the business of the nuclear war and all this with Russia, I don't think we've ever been this close ever before in such a major world conflict with multiple nations and they're all nuclear power, four of them in all, you know, Israel, United States, China, Russia.
And then, you know, Iran has a pretty formidable military strength in their weapons, in their technology, in their military soldiers.
They're very, very skilled.
They have been like discounted for a long time, similar to like how they discounted Russia also.
And yet Russia, in my estimation, has the strongest military in the whole world.
But, you know, the West always downplays the power and strength of these Eastern, quote, foes.
So yeah, this looks like it's really going to ignite.
And regarding the Arab states nearby, obviously it does destabilize the entire region horrifically.
And if in fact it's true that the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are making sure that the United States does not have its airspace right to interfere with their sovereignty and national boundaries, that's a good sign, at least, because they're trying to stay clear of this whole thing.
Obviously, they're still an ally of the West and the U.S.
And they try and maintain some somewhat positive relations with Iran.
But when push comes to shove, they've always been a Western vassal.
And they've only in recent years, especially with Saudi Arabia and its oil, pushed away from the United States and getting closer to Russia and China.
So it's a pretty interesting mix here of events that, you know, it's all leading to what we are all now anticipating.
You know, the military strike on Iran is, you know, they say in the truth seeker, it's virtually certain.
Well, we see all these signs pointing that way.
So it's pretty convincing from my end.
Mine too.
Brian, your thoughts?
Well, we've seen a lot of saber rattling over there for quite a while.
And if you'll recall, this kind of started out with a little skirmish between Israel and Iran.
And now it's funny that America seems to be beefing up all of our assets in order to basically push this thing a little bit farther.
Let's say that the war starts out.
Obviously, America is never going to say we started it.
There's always going to be some sort of spin story out there that says we didn't start it.
But this is very similar, in my opinion, to what happened with Minsk.
Come in and we make a deal and we try to cut things and say, okay, delay, delay, delay, delay.
But in reality, we're setting up a structure on the side that's getting ready to launch a new initiative.
So last time we saw anything break out between Iran and Israel, we managed to keep it semi-cool, but there were still ballistic and cruise missiles and drone strikes flying all over the place.
There's going to be continued proxy escalation if Iran feels like America is coming in to start this.
And I would feel like that too, because of our close ties to Israel and Israel's sort of long-standing appetite for this region.
You also have to remember that the Straits of Hormuz are very important economically.
They're like an economic battlefield.
So without closing it completely, just simply harassment, mining risk, drone and boat swarms and insurance shocks would disrupt the flows there.
And, you know, that's 20% of global petroleum liquids that are going through there.
So 20 million barrels per day approximately.
And that can cause a lot of different economic warfare in terms of shorting prices and moving things down.
So there might be a lot of economic incentive to make it look like it's going this way.
But if the straits of Hormuz do get shut down, expect your fuel prices to go up and your diesel prices to go up and expect your inflation to continue to go up.
And there's going to be a lot of political backlash that happens really quickly if this really takes place.
Also, you always have to remember about this thing spiraling out of control through simple miscalculation.
Now, we're not exactly the best in terms of predicting what Iran's going to do.
I don't think Iran wants to get involved in anything where that would be regime ending in terms of what they're willing to do.
So they're probably just going to do some retaliatory strikes and issue some warnings and wait for diplomacy to open up.
But when you have a situation that that's hot, you could get all sorts of things to break loose at any point in time.
Also, the logistics are always a problem.
And remember, before we always go to war, it's always the logistics stuff that gets spread out first.
And this is where McGregor is so good as a guy that comments on all this.
He's going to look at the logistical positioning prior to the war to show that it's just a matter of time.
We're setting it up.
And we've been seeing that develop now for months.
But we haven't seen anything actually break out.
So I don't know if we're just on the breast of this or if it's being used for a negotiation for this or that, or if we're just being treated as a proxy to Israel right now.
But the situation, there's no doubt, is getting pretty dangerous.
Yeah, and logistically, of course, everything favors Iran.
The United States would have extended supply lines.
They're going to have a great deal of difficulty maintaining what's going on.
And it looks to me China is going to be all in.
Remember, the Iranian parliament has already voted to shut down the Straits of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's biggest corruption scandal.
Interpol arrest warrants requested for Zelinsky associates suspected of a 100 million euro fraud.
That's, of course, peanuts in terms of the levels of corruption in relation to Ukraine.
Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities have appealed to Interpol to issue an international warrant against Ukrainian Israeli surprise, surprise.
Timer Mindex and his business partner Alexander Zakerman, both considered fugitives from justice, both reported to hold Israeli citizenship.
The corruption scandal centers on bundles of money, a toilet made of gold, and threads leading to the Ukrainian president.
Is anyone surprised?
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office have officially submitted Interpol documents aimed at launching the international arrest of both Mindex and Zakerman.
The announcements were made by Alexander Kimenko, head of the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, who wrote Ukrainian outlet, Strana Today.
Mindex is currently in Israel, where he reportedly fled an hour before the anti-corruption official raided his apartment, leading to suspicion someone in the government tipped him off that the raid was coming.
Meanwhile, Viktor Orban accuses Ukraine of meddling in Hungary's election, anti-war.com.
Hungarian President, Prime Minister Viktor Orban lashed out at Ukraine, accusing Kiev of election meddling, adding that Budapest will attempt to keep Kiev from joining the European Union.
Ukrainians have gone on the offensive.
They're issuing threats, openly interfering in the Hungarian elections.
Irban wrote on X. Their goal is to secure funds and force their way into the European Union as soon as possible.
I think Urban's got it right.
It ain't going to happen.
As a member of the European Union, Hungary has the right to say no.
Our patriotic government clearly says no.
We do not want Hungarian families' money to be sent to Ukraine.
We do not want Hungary to be dragged into war alongside Brussels.
We send a clear message to Kiev as well.
We will not pay more cross the West.
Speaking for Palestine is now a crime.
Electronic Intifada reports.
Astonishing, but true.
Exactly a year ago, I, Zizali Abambar, the reporter, was abducted from a Zurich street by Blinklov Police, bundled into an unmarked car, taken to prison.
I was walking with one of my hosts toward a venue where I was scheduled to speak at an event organized by Swiss activists about Israel's genocide in Gaza during my detention.
Swiss intel officer tried to question me without my lawyer present and apparent attempt.
I told Swiss academic Pascal Lawrence in a recent interview for manufactured grounds for my arrest retroactively.
After three days in detention, I was handcuffed, caged in a police van and taken to the airport to be expelled.
The operation achieved its purpose, preventing me from participating in public events about Israel's crimes, but it has failed to intimidate or silence me.
Meanwhile, Kevin Barrett, why is Europe committing suicide with Laura Gayo?
Europe's Self-Destructive Path 00:12:58
When people say Europe is committing suicide, they're usually talking about demographics, mean low fertility and excessive immigration, but Europe is also committing spiritual and geopolitical suicide.
The low fertility that's the main cause of the demographic problem is a symptom of a spiritual malaise in general and hedonistic individualistic materialism in particular.
Did that stem from the collapse of Christianity, as I generally argue?
Or is there already something about Christianity that made Western civilization vulnerable to the Jewish Zionist criminals who have taken over our commanding heights, as Laurent Gagnon thinks?
Geopolitically, too, Europe acting against its own interest.
It alludes in the cover-up of the destruction of its energy supplies, the Biden's bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline, which may have been in fact carried out by Ukraine, then rapidly cheers on the U.S. war on Russia, which was always also a U.S. war on Europe.
Now the U.S. wants out, but Europe wants World War III.
Joachim, your thoughts.
Yeah, they're always waiting for America to come in and save them, you know, and support Europe, basically, both economically, militarily, in every political way as well.
And Trump is not doing that, at least he's claiming he's not doing that.
I'm sure that they're still financing and weaponizing the Ukraine military for this war to be protracted.
This is the guy that came in and said he would end it in one day.
And obviously, there's still U.S. involvement, even with the supposed peace talks, which come and go, come and go back and forth.
But yeah, we talk about the biggest corruption scandal.
Hey, Ukraine has always been the most corrupt nation in Europe, if not world.
I mean, that's been on record for even before this military conflict.
Ukraine was notorious for the corruption.
And things have not changed as far as the kind of corruption, obviously, with the whole West sending all the weapons, all the financing to Ukraine now for a number of years, and NATO, especially, and EU, U.S., all of them.
They've wasted billions of dollars on Ukraine and the pockets go of the Ukraine corrupt officials.
You know, I mean, they're notorious.
It's a long history, not to mention that they round up kids and sexually traffic them for evil purposes and then use their organs when they're done with them for organ trafficking.
It's the most appalling nation on earth, the most corrupt, appalling, along with maybe Israel, those two.
And, you know, they're run by Jews, by the way.
Zelensky has got to be, he's basically, of course, I've been saying, and a lot of people have been saying that his days as president of Ukraine are numbered.
Well, I think they really are going to be coming to an end.
We got, I mean, he supposedly the talks are on now with Ukraine involved with Russia and the United States as mediator.
Seeing his believing on that, we've seen it over and over and over.
So I'm not going to be too enthusiastic or excited about that.
I've said for a long time that I don't think this Ukraine war is going to end through negotiation.
I believe that Russia is just going to be left with having to mop up the whole military situation all the way to the Polish border and end it militarily with an unconditional surrender.
I believe that's going to be the end result.
But yeah, and Kevin Barrett's point on Europe, yeah, it's such a weak vassal.
It's disgusting how they kowtow to the dictator Trump, you know, and then they work behind his back to try and engage in further war with Russia.
You know, I mean, they're totally self-destructive.
But, you know, again, I always point to who really benefits, who's really in charge of both, you know, well, I won't even say both.
They're in charge of the world.
You know, they're in charge of Europe and they're in charge of America both.
And that's the money changers, city of London, Wall Street, etc.
And we know that they do what they're told.
All these puppets, there's no leaders other than maybe like Orban.
He comes up with some nationalistic kind of policies for his own people.
And maybe Fico from Slovenia, Slovakia, I mean.
Maybe those guys.
But other than that, Europe is just the total slave to the money changers.
They do what they're told, even though it's self-suicidal, but they go ahead and do it anyway.
That's how much they care about themselves and their people, that they're basically selling down the drain and will become major victims in a World War III.
It's going to be horrible, like we've never seen before.
And it looks like I'm a pessimist because I'm a realist, really.
And I don't see Europe pulling out of this.
There has to be a complete changeover of the quote, quote, elected.
And then we talk about the EU that's completely unelected.
So it's total globalist self-destruction, World War III, major violence on an unheard of scale.
I mean, that's where it's going.
And it seems like there's nobody in puppet power that is going to deter major World War III.
I don't see it from any angle.
You know, and the Eastern powers are all on the defensive and then they're forced into moving in and, you know, as controlled opposition.
I've always seen them as mainly controlled opposition to the same power structure that's still calling the shots.
So that's how I see it.
Brian.
You know, I remember when they sold us this Ukraine bill of goods.
It was going to work out really, really well.
Russia is the bad guy.
They're the big villain.
Ukraine is this moral center of the universe and the moral center of Europe.
And now we've got this large-scale corruption allegation that's exposing basically the entire structure as a complete sellout.
If I was a Ukraine citizen, I'd be absolutely livid about what's going down with this.
So, you know, the problem with selling a war as a moral necessity is that corruption, corruption charges are radioactive.
But what'd you expect?
I mean, this whole thing's been set up from the very beginning and they've been nothing but puppets.
As for Europe sort of turning on itself, you know, Europe is not being destroyed from the outside at all.
It's allowing itself to be dismantled through an elite power structure that's completely out of touch with the people.
The ruling class in Europe demands, you know, this is just why the same reason why the American Revolution, American Revolution, the ruling class demands that the little citizens make all the sacrifices and they shut their mouths when it comes to costs.
And we're just going to be loyal because it's a flag, but there's not going to be any consent to what they're actually doing.
And if you think about it, the borders are completely porous and they call it policy.
So it's all loose for policy on borders, but it's all tight and rigid when it comes to dissent and people opening their mouths and speaking up about it.
And then, of course, you add to that the economic strain and the cultural fragmentation and the confusion about what's going on.
You get this sort of public fatigue, political revolt type mentality that's setting up a new French revolution.
And so Orban over in Hungary, you know, in a sense, he represents that fracture.
But what he's doing right is he's saying our national interests supersede Europe's obedience.
And so I don't want to be involved in allowing these rotten Ukraine people in.
And that's going to result in a collapse, whether it's a Ukrainian collapse.
And Joaquin's right.
Who picks up the pieces?
Well, we go over there and raise all this havoc and cause all this trouble.
And now we're not going to be around to pick up the pieces.
And Russia's got to take over, and the poor people of Ukraine have absolutely nothing left.
So this is a really, really ugly situation.
And Europe, you know, ought to be panicking right now because you can't talk about things when you're surveilled and you're penalized and you're criminalized.
And so there's no more speech to be able to cool things off.
Everything is just dangerous and there's no more persuasion.
And, you know, European governments are not suppressing the speech of the people because they're strong.
They're suppressing the speech because they've failed to obtain a consensus in a democratic way from the people.
And so I would say that democracy has is the acceleration of the class clash and collapse of the European state is basically running in like fifth gear right now.
They are headed toward a very, very bad situation.
And I can guarantee you the way them Europeans are that there's going to be a lot of underground dissent that's growing.
There's going to be a lot of surveillance and a lot of, you know, domestic surveillance taking place.
And you're going to see a large increase in radicalization of what would be normally good people because they're just, they're getting sick of it.
You're going to see sort of a new development of a French Revolution mindset break out over there.
It's just a matter of time.
I think you're right.
Fight for Iran's Future 00:03:44
Meanwhile, the genocidal Mark Levin is an exemplar of traditional Jewish hatred toward non-Jews by Kevin McDonald, the guy's quite brohen from a monologue by talker introducing a long video entitled Tucker Carlson on the Israel First Meltdown and the Future of the American First Movement.
Pretty much every morning you wake up and open your phone and think to yourself, I wonder if this roiling fight on the right is still ongoing, the fight over who's a Nazi and who's Nazi adjacent and who should be platformed and who should be deplatformed.
That fight, the one that has mesmerized ex-users across the world.
What is that fight actually about and how long will it continue?
Well, the first thing to know about it is that it didn't start three weeks ago with Nick Fuentes' appearance on a podcast.
No, this has been a fight taking place mostly behind the scenes since January.
And that tells you a lot about what it's actually about.
So here's how it began.
Donald Trump inaugurated January 22nd of this year.
Almost immediately after, he is visited at the White House by the first head of state to come to Washington, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
And the visit is not simply a congratulatory visit.
They're not actually allies in any sense.
Remember that Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the very first to congratulate Joe Biden after the 2020 election.
So there's probably not a lot of warmth there, just guessing.
No, there was a purpose to the visit and the subsequent visits by the Prime Minister of Israel to Washington.
And that was to get American support for a regime change war in Iran to overthrow and replace the government of Iran, which the nation of Israel sees as its primary regional threat.
Iran has all kinds of very dangerous conventional weapons.
The United States spends a lot protecting Israel from those missiles.
And Israel is also concerned that at some point Iran will either make or buy a nuclear weapon, leaving Israel no longer the only nuclear arm nation in the region.
So that's what it's actually about.
And to be honest, you can see from Israel's point of view, if you're trying to identify long-term serious threats to you, Iran would be at or near the top of the list, especially since Israel has taken out almost all the other threats.
So really, it's just Iran.
The question is: is it in America's interest to participate in that war?
And make no mistake, Israel wouldn't last three days in a war by itself against Iran.
In fact, probably not even 24 hours.
Israel's population centers would be taken out by Iran's conventional weapons.
And at that point, the Israeli government could either nuke Iran, starting a chain reaction that you can't really predict once it begins, or allow hundreds of thousands of its own citizens, certainly tens of thousands, to be killed.
So Israel could not do it alone, and no honest person suggests or would suggest that it could.
It needs the United States.
So the question from the American perspective is: is it good for America to get involved in yet another Israel-inspired regime change war in the Middle East?
There have been quite a few, most notably Iraq.
Is that a good idea?
And so that debate began, and it mostly began behind the scenes.
It didn't sort of peek out into public view very often, but when it did, the people who wanted the regime change war against Iran almost, with almost zero exceptions, almost never admitted what they actually wanted, and they certainly never acknowledged what the debate was actually about.
It was about one nation's interest versus another nation's interest.
Do those interests convene?
Are they the same thing?
Or are they at odds with each other?
And I think it's very clear they're at odds with each other.
U.S. May Deal with Cuba 00:04:21
Meanwhile, we have the U.S. may make a deal with Cuba.
Sounds kind of strange, doesn't it?
But with this president, it's something that could happen.
Here's the latest.
U.S. may make a deal on Cuba, Trump says.
The United States was beginning to talk with Cuban leaders according to President Trump as his administration puts greater pressure on the communists from the island and cuts off key oil supplies, ever punishing any country we don't like that won't let us exploit their natural resources for the benefit of American or international corporations.
He made a comment early for Saturday night, flying to Florida, comes in the wake of his moves in recent week cut off supplies of oil from Venezuela and Mexico, which he suggested Saturday would force Cuba to the negotiating table.
His goals with Cuba remain unclear.
But Trump has turned more of his attention toward the island after his admin in early January captured Venezuela's and President Nicolas Maduro, who has shown more aggression and confined nations that are adversaries of the U.S. Trump has redicted that the Cuban government is ready to fall.
Meanwhile, Julian Assange explains how controlling servers, media, really the records of the past, is a mode of controlling the future and makes some rather telling points.
We're talking about, you know, an Orwellian dictum about here we go.
The past, he controls the past, controls the future.
It's actually very deep.
So let's just unpack it a bit.
If you control the present, you can control all the libraries, the internet servers, and so on.
And any piece of history that is stored is stored somewhere in the present, and you can go in and change it.
So you can change who has what money, Who owns what land?
Because there's land registers and so on.
Or what happened in a war.
All these things you can change if you control the present.
And that is done in different ways.
And if you control the present, you can control everyone's perception about the present.
And with that, you can control the future.
Well, I certainly think he's got that part right.
Meanwhile, is Trump attacking U.S. cities, Venezuela and Iran, to distract from the Epstein scandal?
Quite a few people are inclined to believe.
Press TV.
Thousands have taken the streets in U.S. City of Houston as part of a nationwide rally to protest against Trump's anti-immigration crackdown.
Gathering outside ICE Detention Center Friday, Texan protesters held signs and chant slogans, including no justice, no peace in the city of Los Angeles, thousand gathered city hall, march to the federal detention center.
As protests grew into the evening, federal agents used chemicals to diswerce crowds.
The demonstrator are part of nationwide strikes where people participate by not going to work, not going to school, not shopping.
Protests were sparked by the recent killing of Alex Pretty, who was shot dead by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis, or so we have been led to believe.
His death follows the January 7th shooting of Renee Good, a mother of three by an ICE officer, intensifying national outrages over immigration enforcement tactics.
The question being, has this got to do with immigration per se, or is it rather a stunt to distract from the Epstein files and their release as it's not going to work?
Joachim, your thoughts.
Well, you know, my answer on that one.
Distraction From Epstein 00:12:21
I've been saying it forever, that everything is a distraction from the Epstein files when it comes to Donald Trump.
The evidence is there, and there's more evidence that are going public.
And so, of course, let's get involved in World War III to knock it off, you know, to win over the crowd so that their preoccupation is on World War rather than on him being a pedophile.
Over and over, I've been saying this and writing it, but, you know, it's eventually catching on where more and more people are realizing that it's just a smokescreen that's imperiling all of our lives because he doesn't want to be outed as a pedophile and lose his presidency in life.
And, you know, I read certain things.
The medical experts are saying he, well, he's got two to four months left.
You know, I mean, he's got all kinds of medical issues.
This guy's a reckless, you know, menace to the entire world at this point.
They should be doing Article 25 on getting him out.
You know, he's not fit to, quote, rule the United States, much less be a dictator in the world, which he is now.
So yeah, you know, it's an old story, but you know, it has to keep being said because look at all the crises that we're in right now.
And regarding Cuba, you know, obviously Cuba's been on the shit list of the U.S. government forever.
back to the Castro days and the Cuban Missile Crisis and all of this.
They've always, you know, as a quote communist party in control, supposedly, in name only, I think mainly, but anyway, they've always been aligned with Russia and the Eastern powers, but they're next door to America.
So when you have that geographic location and you're aligned politically with other powers that are deemed enemy, then you're going to suffer.
And so, you know, the poor people of Cuba have suffered for so long with all the sanctions.
Their economy has always been really in dire straits.
And I hate it when Trump is basically stopping the flow of oil from Venezuela to Cuba.
They've been close allies for a number of years.
And now, because of what the United States has done to Venezuela, it's now isolating and cutting off basically an embargo on Cuba again, again.
I'm sick and tired of the U.S. and Trump in particular, Dictator Trump, being the bully of the world and not recognizing in any way international law, sovereignty.
It's just a foreign word, foreign concept with this guy, Trump.
So yeah, I mean, on and on it goes with that.
And as far as the points that Tucker Carlson's making about, you know, the control of the Jewish and that they will not tolerate any point of view that's against Israel or genocide.
And they make these anti-Semitism, hate speech laws, all of this.
You know, and, you know, ironically, Europe uses the hate speech laws if you say something about all the foreigners that have stolen and destroyed your own culture and your own nation and caused the crime rate to soar.
But if you speak the truth, oh my God, they're going to come and take you away.
And that's the way it is in Europe.
And they also have their anti-Semitism kick too, because after all, Israel owns the world.
You know, money, money, money, money changers, world power.
So yeah, these are all stories.
And as far as Julian Assange's point, very key, because yeah, as long as you control all the propaganda, you know, you control the present information flow.
And, you know, if you control the libraries, you control the past, you know, the education system, you know, and they do a number on all of these areas where it's completely painted over and not beholding to any kind of level of truth at all on all those levels.
And in that way, they shape the future, you know, just like, you know, we're going against Iran because they're the big enemy of Israel.
And therefore, because the United States doesn't stand up, the government does not stand up for Americans, obviously, but for Israel.
I mean, it's so obvious we have a bunch of traitors in our U.S. federal government.
You know, is there any action being done to try them as traitors and give them the death penalty for being traitors?
None whatsoever.
There's no movement.
Brian was mentioning the French Revolution, where basically Europe and America, we're all getting screwed over.
The people are getting angrier all the time.
And yeah, it's going to be turning into a lawless kind of French Revolution.
I think it's going to come to that.
Some people like to call it the U.S. American Revolution 2.0, which is a little bit more quote civil and more in the patriotic frame.
But anyway, yeah, every news item that breaks, you know, we see through it and it's all bad.
Brian.
Okay, let me think through the Tucker Carlson issue first.
Carlson is making the same sort of reasonable argument that he always makes.
The real question is who decides when we go to war and for whom and for what reason?
And why is it that anybody who dissents from whatever conclusions that the military-industrial complex has come up with in advance without any discussion, anybody who consents is Nazi, Nazi, Nazi?
You know, and that's, it continues to be that way.
And he talks a lot about Mark Levin later on in the bit in the thing.
And, you know, these guys want us to support Israel because they know Israel would be wiped off the face of the map if it wasn't for America behind them.
And you know what?
They've probably earned their position from a global perspective to be wiped off the face of the map.
I think that they probably deserve that position all the way back in 80, 70.
And every time they've ever made any attempt to rise again, they should have been wiped off the face of the map.
But there are some outstanding issues that I suppose God has with the bloodline that has prevented that.
Otherwise, I don't see how they've lasted as long as they have.
Now, as for the next one, okay, you've got Trump and Epstein files.
Well, that's really interesting.
And then, of course, you ask yourself the question: is it all a distraction?
And as for is it a distraction, there are two things that are both true about the distractive process.
A lot of Americans want illegal immigration brought under control.
And you're beginning to see protests, whether they're coordinated or not, because many people believe that the enforcement approach has crossed into something that feels like a domestic counterinsurgency.
You got a bunch of militarized, crazed ICE officers wearing masks and military gear running around in the streets of America.
And then you've got the mainstream media false flag machine driving the Renee Goode and Alex Predi stories through the roof, making those people symbols for a movement.
But the issues are very real.
Who decides when the feds can come in and roll the streets and overrule the sheriff and overrule the state police and overrule the city police and just run like they're completely off the hook, like they don't have to answer to anybody anytime, anywhere.
So the false flame attack, false flag attacks are really just sort of pouring gasoline on the fire when it comes to that.
And so you've got a real situation in the middle.
And then I guess the author of the article is trying to tie the Epstein drop to Trump's failures.
And is it a distraction?
Well, I don't know.
Maybe.
I can tell you this: one thing's for certain: I don't care if a million documents dropped or not.
We're not going to see a prosecution.
They're going to blow this thing over and then they're going to change regimes and then they're going to gaslight us and then they're going to tell us that Pam Bondi can't handle it.
And then they're going to tell us that we got to, you know, Pam Bonnie's going to step down.
I mean, nobody's heads going to roll over the Epstein thing, even though it has exposed the biggest problem every government has, which is people who have an appetite for power are willing to allow themselves to be videotaped doing despicable things in order to trade for that power.
And that's a fundamental problem with the human spirit that has to be confronted with righteousness and exposed for what it is, not necessarily Donald Trump's problem and not necessarily a distraction, but it's something that I just don't think we have the political will to do to our power class.
Much more to come, Don.

And I thank you so much, gentlemen.
You guys are just so fantastic.
And come on back for a second hour here on Truth versus News Incorporated.
