The Raw Deal (20 February 2026) with special guest Lark in Texas
Lark in Texas exposes communitarianism—a 1971 ideology (rooted in John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice)—as a "final solution" blending capitalism and state control, replacing constitutional governance with global models like the EU’s market or biosecurity states. Amitai Etzioni, a Carter-era advisor whose family fled Nazi persecution, pioneered its integration into policing (broken windows theory) and tech-driven social engineering, prioritizing limited utilitarianism over universal ethics. Lark warns this system fuels depopulation (euphemized "total war") and techno-slavery, using digital tools to erode individual sovereignty, while citing Epstein’s Zorro Ranch demolition, Prince Andrew’s legal troubles, and U.S. military deployments near Iran as proof of its real-world infiltration. The episode frames communitarianism as organized crime masquerading as law, with disputes resolved by corporate or biosecurity courts—not constitutional ones—undermining democracy’s core principles.

This is Jim Fetzer, your host on the Raw Deal, right here on Revolution Radio Studio B this 20th day of February 2026, to be joined the second hour with Lark from Texas to discuss issues related to the Constitution, politics, and what he refers to as communitarianism.
You don't want to miss it.
Meanwhile, shocking.
Supreme Court strikes down Trump tariffs, but he has a backup plan.
Zero hedge reporting.
The Supreme Court Friday struck down Trump's tariffs in a six to three hundred and seventy page decision ruling that Trump use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Power Act, which constituted about half the tariffs we've seen under Trump, was not lawful.
Kavanaugh, Thomas, and Alito were in dissent.
KIPA, that's the abbreviation, does not authorize a president to impose tariffs, wrote the court.
The ruling stems from a consolidated challenge brought by small businesses in multiple states, including Costco, one of my wife and daughter's favorite shopping stores, who argued that the statute, originally intended to authorize sanctions and asset freezes during national emergencies, does not grant the executive branch the power to levy taxes on imports.
The court reasoned that the Constitution vested the authority to impose duties and tariffs with Congress alone and founded that EPA's authorization to regulate importation cannot be interpreted to include the distinct taxing power required to enact broad-based tariffs.
The ruling affirms lower court is in blocking the challenge measure, concluding that the administration emergency-based tariff framework exceeded the limits of the statute.
Here, zero-hedge tweets, Trump appointees Gorsuch and Bear when he gets the president, he will not be happy.
Applying what it characterizes as the major question framework, the court reasoned Congress would not delegate such weaving control over plate policy through vague language.
The president claimed the two words regulate and importation, authorized tariffs of unlimited amount and duration on any product from any country, the majority wrote would represent a transformative expansion of executive authority over tariff policy in the broader economy.
I have no doubt this decision is constitutionally well founded.
Thus, the question arises, what happens now?
Kavanaugh, among others, raised the question of refunds.
How's this going to happen?
Just as Kavanaugh dissent process is likely to be a mess, or in a court decision is likely to generate other serious practical consequences in the near term.
One issue will be refunds.
Any such claims could involve complex questions of sovereign immunity, administrative exhaustion, and the availability of equitable relief, particularly where duties were paid without timely protest.
Whether courts ultimately require payment of unlawfully imposed tariffs, may depend not just on the validity of the underlying statute, but on the procedural posture of individual importers and the statutory refund mechanism available under U.S. customs law.
That said, even if it were to happen, the Trump administrative legal avenues they can pursue, as Deutsche Bank noted.
For instance, the sectorial tariffs, such as on steel and aluminum, aren't covered by the court ruling.
Another option would be to use section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, which permits temporary 15% tariffs for 150 days.
And gold money.
This won't be the end of tariffs.
The administration will almost certainly roll out alternative legal frameworks.
That result is probably slightly fewer tariffs, materially more trade uncertainty, and some incremental deficit concern.
Net net that's mildly supportive for equities and mildly negative for bonds, but largely price for both.
In other words, it may not yield major changes in the status quo.
Final Pieces Moving Into Place00:15:25
Meanwhile, final pieces moving into place for potential attack on Iran.
The latest flurry of U.S. assets in the Middle East includes many of the missing capabilities needed for a sustained air campaign.
No doubt about it.
This is in the works.
A large wave of American air power headed to the Middle East to bolster forces already there, as U.S. President Donald Trump considers an attack against Iran.
Online flight trackers are showing F-22 Raptors, F-16 Fighting Falcons, Z-3 Sentry Radar, and U-2 Dragon Lady stripe plane, either in transit across the Atlantic or newly arrived in Europe.
In addition, a seventh Harley Burke-class guided missile destroyer, the USS Pikani, has recently deployed the U.S. Central Command Area Responsibility as well, a Navy official told TWZ newsletter.
Meanwhile, Andre Martinov asks, what happens if the U.S. attacks Iran first?
Mr. Erdogan is a multi-vector guy, okay?
That is to say that he's a multi-chair guy.
He tries to sit on all chairs simultaneously.
Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
But you have to understand that Turkey is really dependent on the United States in many critical respects.
And Erdogan will continue to try to do this thing because he thinks that he's smarter than everybody else.
Of course, the issue here is that Turkey is pushed first.
We have to understand that.
Endogun, being a Muslim brotherhood, he is obsessed with this iconic idea of people.
So he has these global plans, which are, of course, kindergarten level, really.
Somehow unifying Turkish people or Turkish people all over Eurasia and things of this nature.
But Turkey doesn't have the resources for that.
And as such, especially considering that they have the economic problems, that he will have to basically throw the party line in the end with the United States, no matter what he says.
And a lot of what he does is also PR.
So it's Turkey, all right?
They wanted to be the leaders of the Islamic world.
They want to capture the glory of the Ottoman Empire days and things of this nature.
I doubt.
And that's why Turkey views Iran as their competitor.
Apart from the fact that Sunni and Shiites, Turkish Sunnis, they view Shiite Iran as not only viable, Iran demonstrated itself that it's a really tough country again.
Remember last 12 days when Israel learned the hard way that you don't mess with that.
And in this case, we have to understand that there are many sympathy from what I gather.
And again, don't quote me on that, but from what I gather, there's a lot of sympathy towards Iran in the Arab street.
But then again, when was the last time an Arab street mattered?
And Arabs, they completely discredited themselves, especially with the issues of Gaza and what was perpetrated there by Israel, and they set it out.
The only country which actually was doing something about it was, of course, Iran.
And so there's a lot of critical points where their interests collide between Iran and, let's say, Arab therapists and governments.
So in this case, it doesn't matter what Arab Street thinks, because we know that those governments, Arab governments, primarily, and they are utterly corrupt.
They are sometimes monarchists, therapists, and they depend completely on what we all know, the flow of the oil primarily.
Those are primarily monarchies or, you know, not totalitarian, but dictatorships in many respects.
He has more to say.
Pepe Escobar, China and Russia won't set this out.
What if you can get a touch of a button?
Exactly right.
10 years ago.
Check it out here.
Undeclared wars are commonplace.
Tragic for judging freedom.
Today is Thursday, February 19th, 2026.
Pepe Escobar joins us now from Moscow.
Pepe, welcome here.
How is the snow here?
Is the snow in Moscow in the middle of February?
Pretty bad.
Wow.
Piles of snow today.
I took a photo to send to Vlarry, our friend, in front of they have a bronze statue of three journalists in front of the PASS office.
And they were almost buried in snow.
I have a picture of Larry and me with them.
That statue is about 10 feet tall.
Wow.
Exactly.
Yes.
Before we get to China and Russia and what they will probably tolerate and what they won't tolerate when Israel and the United States attack Iran, a couple of pieces from your piece, a couple of questions from your piece.
Bavaria Rhapsody Insecurity Conference Targets Recolonization of the Global South at LilRockwell.com and judgenap.com.
Thank you.
It's a great piece.
Some of the lines in there are hilarious.
I've got to ask you about one or two.
Is the rule-based international order now exposed as a sham?
Absolutely.
And even before the admission by Mark Carney, and that continued to be the case in Munich.
But then, of course, this was turned upside down by Marco Rubio's speech.
And that was quite something, Judge.
Can you imagine in 26 years at the start of the new millennium?
And you have any Secretary of State going to Europe and basically telling the European shih was: look, now we are going to recolonize the global south.
And we ask you to come with us because then you're going to recover all the glamour that you had before when you were the colonial power.
Basically, basically, the United States of America, which Rubio described as a child of the Europeans, asking the Europeans whose colonies we helped to separate from them to allow us to colonize other countries.
But you can't make this up.
No, you can't make this up.
Well, first of all, Marco Rubio, I wonder what he studied in the history when he was in high school.
It's really pathetic.
But the call for recolonizing the global south issued to the Europeans and describing the U.S. as part of the European civilization, starting with Greece and Athens.
So, in fact, the U.S. there was never a 1776, right?
And what was the reaction in the audience when Rubio talked about the glories of recolonization?
A standing ovation.
Wow.
And that's my case.
Wow.
So we really were.
Well, what was the reaction when Rubio talked about the glories of Christianity?
They probably sat on their hands.
Absolutely.
And of course, nobody would make a connection to the glories of Christianity now in Syria and Palestine.
That's not exactly glorious at the moment, is it?
No, no, no, not at all.
And he didn't say anything about the Israelis killing Christians in Palestine or Lebanon.
Exactly.
And before American ISIS creatures killing Christians in Syria, including the throat slitter now posing as president of Syria, this is one of the things that he did when he was one of the leaders of Idlibistan in northern Syria.
Well, you did use a couple of hilarious one learners.
You referred to a human being in your piece as the ghastly Estonian with the IQ of a dismembered worm.
No offense to worms.
Right.
I think I know who she is, but you can tell us why you called her that.
Well, we just need to look at her face.
And it's absolutely crazy because average European citizens, I heard this in Italy a lot, and I even heard this in France.
And, you know, the average guy in a cafe on a bar is about it.
Just look at her face and you can see that she's a bloody idiot.
The problem is she represents us, 450 million plus.
You're talking about Kayakalis, who's the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs.
I don't know what her name is.
She's called Haya officially judge.
She's called Higher Representative of the European Commission for Foreign Policy.
One of those typical Brussels titles.
Right.
Now, a friend of mine, I don't want to tell you who he is, but he's a well-known professor of political philosophy at one of the oldest universities in Europe, was a grad student with her.
He repeatedly referred to her as the stupidest person in the class.
But it's even better because he met her personally and he saw how she was the typical idiot in the room when we're growing up.
You know, Gilbert Doctoro told me that she would make Lindsey Graham look like Tucker Carlson.
Now, that is quite an extraordinary leap.
What did she do or say that is so offensive to rational thinking?
Well, the only thing she says, Judge, and it's her motto, it's anything russophobic.
I don't remember her saying anything about, for instance, EU policy.
State agents that Trump has sent to negotiate.
That's a very, very long story.
In fact, there's a joke going around in Moscow, Judge, that you have three American real estate developers who want to come up with a plan to solve the war in Ukraine.
Trump, Kushner, and Witkov.
Wow.
Where are the negotiations going to go?
Nowhere.
Nowhere.
At the moment, absolutely nowhere.
There is something that is extremely important.
And I was trying to talk about it with my seven, in fact, almost eight interlocutors today.
There is apparently a two-track process going on, which is the famous Kirill Dmitriev plan, which was leaked to American mainstream media.
We still don't know if this was leaked by the Witkov people or by the Dmitriev people, but it was leaked anyway with seven points, which are completely absurd.
And you talk to people here at the level of Minister of Foreign Relations or military level, SMO, or some of the best think tanks.
And they say, but this is committed to observation.
Do they expect Putin to actually follow any of these seven points?
And one of them, which has been recycled via Western mainstream media and via some media here in Russia, which is even more worrying, is that Putin would be willing to do anything so Trump could lift sanctions against Russia, including vast U.S. investments in the Russian economy.
I mean, Trump has amassed such an enormous amount of assets there.
But when the U.S. attacks, what will Russia do?
What they are already doing and not advertising.
This is the Russian models operandi, Judge, and the Chinese as well.
And Gurulyev, I did an interview with Guruleev, which is arguably the best Russian military specialist nowadays.
And he said, no, we never tell anybody what we're doing.
Of course, we have our protocols part of our strategic partnership with Iran.
And then I pressed him a little bit more saying, look, Iranian delegations, when they come to Moscow, they always say, look, anything we ask, they deliver, and vice versa.
And he said, yes, basically, that's the case.
They never asked us for something really.
They did ask us in terms of protecting their grid because they had their grid broken at the start of the 12-day wars.
This is something that's not going to happen again.
And now their grid is supervised by the Chinese.
It's integrated with satellite Beidou system and satellite, Chinese satellite, Beidou.
And the Russians are helping in their counter-intel sphere as well.
So, silently, the Russians and the Chinese, everything that Iran needs to at least, I wouldn't say block, but at least refrain the Americans from doing more damage than they would in normal attacking conditions.
They have it in place.
And they are self-confident, which they were not after the 12-day war, especially.
What about oil?
The Chinese receive 1.4 million barrels of Iranian oil a day.
How are they going to get the oil out there?
We are hearing some reports that China will escort the tankers out and help to pay if the Americans interfere with those escorts.
Absolutely.
This will be the direct Chinese response and very graphic.
Look, we have the Chinese, the PLA Navy escorting our tankers.
Are you going to attack us?
Chinese Escort Response00:03:41
Then you have to suffer the consequences.
The other possibility is that assuming this would be, and I was discussing this with Larry today, Judge, a few hours ago.
If this is a two-week war maximum, because the U.S. does not have what it takes to go for a long attack against Iran, they could do it maybe for two weeks.
That's it.
So the Chinese could refrain to do anything during two weeks because they have enough reserves.
And the Iranians, in this, I'm talking about a very optimistic scenario.
The Iranians wouldn't have to block the Strait of Hormuz because then they will also lose a lot because their oil goes through Hormuz as well.
So there's no necessity to block the, like launch a lot of sea mines everywhere.
It would take months to demine these sea mines, blocking the navigation the Straits of Hormuz.
But if the Americans would launch a hardcore shock and awe attack, there's no question that the first thing the Iranians would do would be to block the Straits.
And they already gained blocking the Straits of Hormuz different ways.
And if they block the Straits of Hormuz, Jeff Sachs says the price of gasoline at the pump in the U.S. will go up to $10 a gallon.
That would be disastrous for Trump politically.
Completely.
And not to mention that Trump would be responsible for collapsing the global economy, Judge.
We discussed that in previous shows.
The famous Goodman Sachs pile of derivatives explosion, which is in the quadrillions of dollars.
That's it.
You can explode the global economy in less than two weeks.
Very good, Ram Debi.
Fascinating stuff.
Meanwhile, Iran has midget submarines that are the backbone of a coastal defense from global geopolitics.
Iran's Navy has developed a range of unconventional tools over the years.
One of the least noticed is its fleet of small submarines.
Notice Gared-class submarines.
These combat boats are designed specifically for ops in the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf, where larger submarines would face serious limitations.
Each Gader-class sub displaces about 125 tons submerged because of their small size are suited for coastal defense and ops close to shore.
Estimates suggest Iran operates between 15 and 20 of these vessels.
Though exact numbers vary depending on the source.
The subs are equipped with two torpedo tubes, not believed to carry additional reloads.
Despite their limited armament, they are capable of firing torpedoes and possibly cruise missiles.
They can also lay naval mines, deploy or retrieve special force units, including combat divers.
Some reports say the submarines are able to rest quietly on the seabed to avoid detection, a tactic that could make them difficult to track during a conflict.
Meanwhile, peeling back the U.S. information operation in Iran, anywhere.com reports.

Growing Opposition to Islamic Republic00:08:23
Again, Larry Johnson reporting on the U.S. Info operation in Iran.
It's really propaganda and other efforts to influence public opinion.
As part of the U.S. campaign to engineer a regime change in Iran, the U.S. military and intel community are using operational preparation of the environment, that is, OPE, defined in joint publications as non-intelligence activities conducted prior to or in preparation for potential military operations in set conditions for success.
It encompasses shaping the operational environment through intel surveillance, reconnaissance, information ops, civil affairs, psychological ops, and other preparatory actions, often in denied or politically sensitive areas.
I believe one of the major observations is to convince the U.S. public that the overwhelming majority of Iranians despise the Islamic Republic and want it overthrown.
In my opinion, a major player in this op is a polling outfit known as Gaman, J-M-A-A-N, group for analyzing and measuring attitudes in Iran, collaborating with SIPHONE VPN, widely used across Iran.
Gamut findings have been consistent in being a picture of massive opposition to the Iranian regime.
According to Gamut polls taken part of 2025, a significant majority of Iranians around 70% oppose the continuation of the Islamic Republic.
The highest level of opposition 81% occurred during woman life freedom uprising in 2022.
Support for the principles of the Islamic Revolution and the Supreme Leader has decreased from 18% in 2022 to 11% in 2024.
Opposition to the Islamic Republic is higher among the youth, urban residents, and the highly educated.
An overwhelming majority of Iranians, 89%, support democracy, according to Gaman.
But what are the funding sources for Gammon and SIPHONE VPS?
Gamon describes itself as an independent non-profit research foundation registered in the Netherlands, emphasizing its academic credentials and innovative online methods.
It operates under the supervision of a board including Dr. Amen Malaki, founder and director assistant professor comparative politics at Tilburg University, and Dr. Buya Namani Arba, Associate Professor of Secular and Religious Studies at Utrecht.
It appears to be a very comprehensive propaganda effort.
I don't think there is anything resembling even remotely that kind of opposition to the Islamic Republic or the regime there.
Meanwhile, the Greater Israel dream is reportedly destroyed by a new Islamic NATO.
Hello, it's your friend CJ Wirlaman, and in this episode, we're doing why a growing and strengthening alliance between Muslim-majority countries is reshaping the Middle East and presenting the state of Israel with an unprecedented existential threat.
But first, please remember to like and subscribe to our show and ensure your notifications are turned on so you never miss a single episode.
Now let's get into it.
The idea of a collective security alliance that huddles together Muslim-majority countries under a binding collective defense obligation akin to what Europeans and Americans enjoy under NATO has been kicked around for years, mostly because the potential strategic benefits are obvious, given it would include a combination of Saudi money, Turkish technology, and Pakistani nukes, therefore constituting a triumvirate of military, economic,
and technological firepower against the number one threat to peace and security in the Muslim world, the state of Israel.
A stark reality given the Zionist military bombed and/or invaded nine Muslim-majority countries during the last year alone.
Israel has attacked more countries than any other country this year.
Over 10,600 attacks on six countries and three territorial waters.
These maps show where those attacks took place.
When Israel isn't bombing or invading Muslim countries unprovoked, then it's violating ceasefire agreements with its neighbors, having violated its ceasefire with Gaza by bombing it more than 1,000 times in 80 days, adding thousands of more civilians to a death toll that has already surpassed hundreds of thousands.
A similar story can be told in Lebanon, proving yet again that Israel can never be trusted under any circumstances, especially when it's even willing to deceive and dupe its number one ally and benefactor.
Plenty of things I saw yesterday.
I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal.
They didn't have to unload.
And I didn't like the fact that the retaliation was very strong.
But in all fairness, Israel unloaded a lot.
And now I hear Israel just went out because they felt it was violated by one rocket that didn't land anywhere.
That's not what we want, I'll tell you.
And I'm telling you, I'm not happy about that, Israel, either.
Israel also bombed Qatar, home to the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, just months after the Qatari government gifted Trump a billion-dollar airplane, proving no Muslim country is safe from attack,
even those with the strongest of ties to the United States government, which is why Turkish President Grecip Edwin reigned the idea of an Islamic NATO in September 2024 by calling for Muslim unity against what he described as a growing threat of Israeli expansionism.
Istanbul'un kaderi Şam'ın kaderinden, Bağdat'ın, Kahire'nin, Sana'nın kaderinden, İslamabad'ın, Kabil'in, Trablus'un, Tahra'nın kaderinden, Mekke ile Medine'nin ve elbette Kudüs'ün ve Gazze'nin kaderinden ayrı değildir.
Ümmet'in sesini ve vicdanını temsil eden teşkilatımızın bu toplantısında, İsrail'in tüm...
It's a great idea.
Let's hope it comes to fruition.
Meanwhile, of course, Gerald R. Ford is being sent to the Middle East, which would break recent deployment records.
They don't have happy outcomes when you're put to sea for so very, very long.
Meanwhile, turning to the American situation, here's a piece: America's humiliation, Israel's grip on U.S. politics, and Trump allegiance.
This policy, Lindsey Graham is talking about here.
Young Americans are going to die, and I'm here in Israel to say that we're planning our next wars in this country.
You know, I kind of feel humiliated as an American, like less of a man as an American, that a small, tiny little country completely dependent on our foreign aid somehow has this much control over our government.
And you have, you know, who is supposed to be one of the ultimate figures of masculinity, right?
Like a guy who's gotten supermodels his entire life, a man who builds skyscrapers and puts his name on top of buildings, was you know, featured in like the beginning of Playboy videos, right?
Like, this is supposed to be a man's man.
He was supposed to put America first.
Credible Accusations?00:02:46
He was tough, he was strong, and he's bending over backwards for a country that really should be bending over backwards for us because their planes fly because we allow them to fly.
It's I just can never get my mind around this policy.
Excellent, excellent commentary.
Meanwhile, there's so much more going on, especially about the Epstein files.
Here's Paul Craig Roberts saying: something isn't right about the Epstein soccer.
We have heard a lot about Virginia Goffrey, the boaster girl of the Epstein sex trafficking of underage females.
In 2009, Virginia accepted $500,000 from Epstein to drop a lawsuit, terms of which forbade claims against other potential defendants.
Thirteen years later, in 2022, Goffrey received an estimated $16 million from Prince Andrews in an out-of-court settlement in which he admitted to no wrong.
For some reason, she was not required to keep the terms of the previous settlement in which she released other potential defendants.
Little doubt, her attorney smelled a large fee from charges against Winston Andrews.
Public accusations and lawsuit would embarrass the royal family and result in a large out-of-court settlement, whether the charge were true or false.
It's possible the charge is false, but that 16 mil was too much to walk away from, as lawyers understand.
Many settlements are extortions.
The emphasis in the whore media is always that the women were underage.
Blows a map of the age of the female sexual consent in the 50 U.S. states in 2025 in 32 of the states.
The age of female consent is 16.
In eight of the states, consent is 17.
In only 10 is the age 18, unless Virginia was a resident of one of those ten states.
She was not underage.
Keep in mind the alleged underage sexual event occurred two or three decades ago when the age of female sexual consent was lower.
Probably at the time the events were said to have occurred.
No state had 18 years as the age for female consent.
In other words, the media insisting on underage sex might be a hoax.
What we may be really dealing with is prostitution.
Massive Ranch Mystery00:11:13
Do we really believe that the Virginia we see in the photo smiling and looking pleased with herself, staying together with Wince Andrew, was kidnapped and brought to Epstein Island by force and coercion?
What about the hundreds of thousands of other underage girls who allegedly kidnapped and forced into sex trafficking?
Is this a credible accusation?
How exactly does one manage a kidnapping operation of this magnitude?
Well, it's certainly an interesting idea.
On the other hand, there are horrific aspects to all of this, including Zorro Ranch in New Mexico is much worse than Epstein Island, for the truth is coming out, including on Redacted.
Is Zoro Ranch in New Mexico worse than Epstein Island?
Well, it's sure shaping up that way, and why won't anyone investigate the damn thing?
So here is this massive ranch, if you haven't seen it before.
Epstein had this private desert oasis complete with a mansion, a private airstrip, and all the young girls that he could want being trafficked around the world right into Zoro Ranch.
Many of them being groomed at massage parlors in Turkey and then flown in and used.
Many little kids as well.
Curiously, though, investigators decided to ignore the ranch when they were doing their investigation.
They ransacked his New York City mansion.
They went to his Palm Beach house.
The one in Paris, yeah, they looked in there.
And of course, Epstein Island.
But for whatever reason, investigators haven't really wanted to touch this home at all, which is very curious.
In fact, according to our sources here, Redacted, the new owner, Don Huffins, who bought the place for pennies on the dollar back in the day, has been open for police to come and do an investigation of the property.
So, and by the way, he's running for office right now, and so his opponents are using this as like a last-ditch, like 11th hour, try to go after the guy.
Anyway, but the truth is that he's openly invited, he's totally open to the police coming there and doing a full investigation.
You want to use ground-penetrating radar?
I don't see why he would have a problem with that.
Cadapper dogs, maybe?
Cadet, anything.
But no one's taken him up on this.
It's odd.
Why wouldn't the police want to do that?
Who's stonewalling this, actually?
If he's basically inviting police to come there and use tools necessary to locate crimes, why would the police ignore this?
Good question.
Meanwhile, we have a report that the ranch has already been demolished.
This is deeply disturbing.
The MAGA Republican politician who purchased Epstein's Zorro Ranch in 2023, where it appears that unthinkable and heinous crimes by Epstein and the cabal were committed.
Well, this MAGA politician, Don Huffins, just gave an interview with Matt Gates of all people.
And Huffin says that he's already basically demolishing and doing construction work at the Zorro Ranch because he says he's turning the ranch into a Christian retreat for children.
Now, this follows the unanimous vote in the New Mexico legislature, where they agreed to create a truth commission to investigate the crimes that were committed at Epstein's New Mexico ranch that Epstein called the Zorro Ranch.
I did a deep dive into the unthinkable and heinous acts that likely took place there.
And the New Mexico legislature, they've just begun their investigation.
It's a group of legislatures, legislators.
You have an individual by the name of Andrea Romero.
She's one of the co-sponsors.
She's a state representative there who's one of the leaders of this truth commission.
And they want to conduct an investigation.
What went down at the Zorro Ranch?
Why was there no investigation before?
Why did the feds tell the New Mexico AG and the New Mexico do not do sex trafficking investigations?
And then why did the DOJ not do investigations there?
What else went down there?
Epstein purchased that Zorro ranch in 1993 from a former governor of New Mexico.
We know that there were initial FBI investigations in the ranch around 2006, 2007.
And when the FBI started to ask the house managers their questions about masseuses and individuals coming in and out and girls coming in and out, the house managers got a call from the home office saying do not speak with these FBI agents anymore.
And then the house managers, this was like 06, 07, kicked out the FBI agents, and then nothing really ever happened there again.
But we know from the victims and the survivors' accounts that that was one of the sites of some of the most heinous acts.
I'll go through that in a moment.
But here is Don Huffins right here going on a show with Matt Gates on OAN saying that the property is already basically under construction.
It's now being transformed into a Christian retreat.
He says it was a dark place and now it's going to be a place of light and there's going to be children there and it'll be a Christian retreat for children and families on the Epstein Zorro ranch.
What in the world?
And you're doing construction there?
Isn't it a location where there's an investigation taking place?
Isn't there an issue that people have questions about whether bodies are being buried there and what's happening?
And you're doing construction there right now, and you're announcing that right after the Truth Commission was created to issue subpoenas and do investigations on the property.
I mean, hello, are y'all seeing what I'm seeing right here?
Here's Don Huffins.
Again, he's a MAGA Republican.
He calls himself Ultra MAGA.
He was a Texas state representative or a Texas state senator.
He went to Moscow in 2018 as a Texas state legislator in order to help Moscow or normalize relations between the United States and Moscow.
His whole thing is Trump, Trump, Trump, this, Trump, that, Trump, that.
His son, Russell, currently has a top job in the White House.
His son's a young guy currently working in the White House.
Hello.
Hello.
Here's what Don Huffins told Matt Gates here.
Play this clip.
Now, you have plans to take something evil and bring it into goodness, bring it into light and positivity.
Tell us about that plan.
Well, of course.
That is the main reason I bought the property.
This was obviously a dark place, and we wanted to put light in a dark place.
It always shines the brightest when you do that.
My faith is so strong in Jesus, and it really is.
And I'm going to make this.
The plan all along is to make this property into a Christian retreat.
Matter of fact, it's under construction today.
And that's our goal.
That's why we named it San Raphael.
We named Saint Raphael, as you probably know, an archangel.
And what he does and helps people with is healing and being the healer and also blessing those that are traveling.
That's a pretty creepy guy, if you ask me.
And he's not doing anything to benefit Christians.
He's doing something to cover up mass torture, murder, rape.
MC and allegedly fathered some 500 children there.
Here's more to suggest what's being covered up.
You always know it's serious when your boy has to whip out the fancy mic, okay?
And I'm going to apologize in advance because you may never look at jerky the same way.
I sure as hell don't.
So remember how I told you that the devil and his friends use lots of food words constantly in emails in context that made no sense?
Pizza party and cream cheese being top ones?
Well, there was one food word that these people seem to obsess over more than any other one, and that was jerky.
Now, this could just be because maybe he was a jerky enthusiast and just couldn't get enough of it.
I don't know.
Rich people are weird sometimes.
Let's read some of these examples together.
How about we do that?
All right, so this is from Francis Derby to who knows?
Good day to you both.
Just checking in to see if the jerky situation has been sorted out.
Last we spoke, you planned to have rich beef FedEx it to Paris.
Just so we're all on the same page, the jerky is shelf-stable and can travel without refrigeration.
And then we have Karina Shuliak asking Francis, JE is asking to bring him more beef jerky on Friday.
Are you also flying on Friday?
If not, I would like to collect it from you and take with me on the plane.
Now, we don't know who this is from, but it's to the double.
Jerky will be with me when I get to ISJ.
I can come tomorrow and take care of white tuna if you'd like.
Now, we don't know who this is from, but to the double again, Steve needs a six to eight ounce portion of jerky.
I gave you all the jerky we had, roughly two pounds, and it lasted only half the amount of time it was meant to.
I felt it was more important for you to have the jerky to eat during my time off.
My plan is to make a bash before I leave for LSJ, and some of that will then go to Steve and the next to you at LSJ when I arrive.
This one is from the devil to Steve Hansen.
Hope you are feeling better.
Did we analyze the jerky?
Now, I'm not a big jerky guy, but do you normally analyze your jerky?
Ready for this one?
From Francis Derby, subject jerky.
Just wanted to touch bass about jerky.
JE said he was going to start eating regular food again.
Regular food again.
So he might be eating less jerky.
That said, he has six bags of it in the downstairs freezer for the next trip.
Is beef, jerky, jerky not considered regular food?
And do you normally freeze it?
I actually have no idea.
Delicious lunch, beef, jerky.
Mmm.
He would get pissed when he didn't have any.
Hundreds of these emails about jerky.
This, I thought, was super odd.
The picture of jerky.
It was in the files.
The FBI thought it important enough to take a photo of just one piece.
But if that's not weird enough, that picture and file is no longer on the DOJ website.
They deleted it.
It's just jerky.
Now, you might be wondering who is Francis Derby?
Because I thought the same thing.
Well, not only was he Epstein's personal chef, he also owned an exclusive, tiny little restaurant in New York City called The Cannibal.
I fucked you not.
Royal Lodge Gatekeeper00:04:08
Francis was even featured on Hallmark's YouTube channel.
The video's still up, where he showcases how to make his famous cannibal burger.
Francis Derby, he's the executive chef of Cannibal.
All right, this is where I lean on you, guys.
Am I nuts, or are you seeing and reading what I'm seeing and reading?
You always know it's serious when your boy has to whip out the fancy mic.
I find this all profoundly disturbing.
And the expose is going to continue.
We even have now had Prince Andrew arrested, King Charles, about whom there are stories of his having participated in Epstein satanic sacrifices of children.
Reports.
Some breaking news.
In the last few minutes, we've had a statement from the King.
I'm going to read it to you in full.
I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor, and suspicion of misconduct in public office.
What now follows is the full, fair, and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation.
Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter.
Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.
And that statement has been signed off, Charles R.
Well, let's cross live now and speak to our royal correspondent, Helena Wilkinson, who is at Royal Lodge.
And Helena, just talk me through, first of all, before we talk about what the King has said in terms of his statement, talk me through what's happening at Royal Lodge today.
Yes, well, the BBC understands that there are searches currently ongoing in Royal Lodge.
Let me just step out from in front of the camera.
I don't know if you can make out in the distance basically the gate where we are.
This is where we are allowed to broadcast from, but just beyond that, you enter into Windsor Great Park.
You then get to another gate.
I don't know if you can make out some sort of pink houses in the distance.
Beyond that gate is Royal Lodge.
That is where the former Prince Andrew lived until recently.
He lived there for more than 20 years.
He moved out of the property about a couple of weeks or so agoing an estate.
He moved out under the cover of darkness.
And we know that he's still, but we understand he still has some belongings here because the law is being pursued in the UK.
When will that begin right here in the USA?
Meanwhile, we'll be joined by Mark from Taxis right after this rate.com.
We'll be right back after this message.
Was it a conspiracy?
Did you know that the police in Boston were broadcasting, this is a drill, this is a drill, on bullhoards during the marathon?
That the Boston Globe was tweeting that a demonstration bomb would be set off during the marathon for the benefit of bomb squad activities, and that one would be set off in one minute in front of the library, which happened as the globe had announced.
War Coming Smoke00:04:15
Peering through the smoke, you could see bodies with missing arms and legs, but there was no blood.
The blood only showed up later and came out of a tube.
They used amputee actors and a studio-quality smoke machine.
Don't let yourself be played.
Check out And Nobody Died in Boston either.

Well, my special guest for the second hour, Lark from Texas, has been preoccupied with issues of, let us call it, political philosophy for decades.
Communitarianism Defined00:15:26
He's focusing on what he calls communitarianism.
And I think it's going to be important for us to get basic concepts clear during the course of our discussion because he believes communitarianism represents a threat to constitutional government, capitalism, and other aspects of what has been the American way of life.
I thought I'd begin with some definitions from an AI overview, separating capitalism from socialism, from communism as distinct economic models regarding property ownership and resource distribution.
Capitalism thrives on private ownership and free market, personal property.
You can own property.
It can be yours.
You have the right to deal with it, dispose of it as you like, provided, of course, it brings about no harm to others.
Socialism advocates for state ownership of key industries, for equitable distribution.
In other words, it's based on a concept of social justice or distributive justice.
Some individuals, democratic extremists, think everyone should have exactly the same amount of everything, same amount of property or income or whatever, and they strive to bring about that result, regardless of achievement or effort or accomplishment.
Communism aims for a stateless, classless society with communal ownership, meaning everyone owns everything.
But the question becomes: who controls what everyone owns?
And of course, we know communism, as it has evolved, has exhibited the tendency toward a class society of bureaucrats, oligarchs, leaders.
There don't appear to be pure examples of any of the above.
Mussolini, of course, is famous for having said that fascism was another name for corporatism, which was a merger of big government with big business, which leaves a consumer, you know, a bit helpless, at a loss as to how to deal with any inequities.
In our model or constitution, presumably the government plays a role in arbitrating under the law, the resolution of disputes between corporations or businesses and consumers or individuals.
Lark, I want to welcome you in.
Tell us.
All this is, I think, difficult for many to get their minds wrapped around.
So I want you to do everything you can to help us understand the issues that have consumed you for so long.
We have communitarianism being your focus.
Go for it, Lauren.
Tell us about communitarianism and why you think it's important to be understood and dealt with by the American people.
Well, first of all, it's important to look at the fact that it has been described as an all-encompassing ism.
An ism is simply a suffix attached to a word which means school of thought.
And within every school of thought, you will always find variance of opinion.
So communitarianism has also been described as the final solution.
The final solution being the marriage of capitalism and communism.
Post-World War II, within academia, the discussions were rife, really focused on two studies.
One was social contract theory and the other on convergence theory.
You can look these things up in any encyclopedia.
Well, yeah, but we want to talk about them, Lark.
I mean, social contract, there is the idea that the members of a community agree upon the rules that are going to regulate their own society.
I mean, and that it's a violation of those rules that turn out to be illegal, given to the extent to which the social contract defines the law.
Roughly speaking, how would you refine it?
We want to go into this because we're talking about stuff that our audience isn't used to thinking about, and we want to be a bit more explanatory than perhaps in other contexts.
Well, and I think it's useful that you and I are talking because if I'm not mistaken, your métiers in your professional life have been philosophy of history and philosophy of science.
That's useful in this discussion, and particularly since you and I both are living histories in and of ourselves, essentially, in terms of what we have learned about life.
I've learned that most of American history that we were taught was a lie that can be expanded upon.
I don't think we ever won our sovereignty or our independence from the crown.
And we don't, because we do not have as a people a solid grounding in our real history, we have become discombobulated.
We have nonsensical arguments between socialists and capitalists, for instance, and between liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, etc.
These labels are practically nonsensical today.
And they do not foster or promote honest dialogue or good discussion.
So we have to understand, too, that if we look at the art of war by Zun Tzu, he essentially said a couple of things that stand out.
This is one of the oldest written books in world history, The Art of War.
Essentially, he said: if you know yourself or claim to know yourself, and yet you know not your enemy, then you can expect to win or lose at least half your battles.
But if you know yourself and your enemy, then you can expect to prevail in all your battles and thus win the war.
He also said in the text of the art of war that the acme of skill was to pursue the enemy without fighting via stratagem.
And so, what I see today is that from the 20th century onward, just beginning from that point, there's so many people that we didn't talk about growing up or learn about in school.
We didn't learn that the Roosevelt administration was crawling with communists during World War II.
We didn't learn about the bankruptcy of 1933.
We didn't learn about the General Orders No. 100 during the War Between the States, 1863, that's never been rescinded that placed us all under martial rule.
We didn't learn that General Washington wouldn't allow anybody on his general staff, the officer class, to be anybody but Freemasons.
We didn't learn that the Republican Party, the GOP, was founded as a Marxist party in 1854 in Rippon, Wisconsin, your neck of the woods.
We didn't learn so many things about our history, and therefore we do not have, I mean, what happened with this whole idea of unalienable rights versus inalienable rights?
Well, we see inscribed on the Lincoln Memorial today the term is inalienable right.
It's a very different animal.
What happened to life, liberty, and property, for instance, a la John Locke?
You know, what happened to this separation of power principle as advanced by Montesquieu?
Do we know anything about the writings of the Frenchman that wrote on democracy?
No, we were given basically the idiot's treatment of history.
And when you look at the creation of the Soviet Union around 1914 to 1917, 18 period, we find that people like Lenin and Charovsky had two heroes, both Americans.
And one was named John Dewey, and the other was named Frederick Winslow Taylor, called the father of scientific management.
And then we have his successors like William Edwards Deming and Peter Drucker coming forward at a time.
We live in a time of almost instant communication in a hyper-connected world.
So today, the technologies or the tools exist which will bind us all.
And this is why I speak often about the GRIN technologies, because the people involved in these career fields, as exemplified by this acronym named GRIN, are the ones leading the charge.
And that would be genetics, robotics, information, and nanotech.
So I have a real problem with these things.
Genetics really is the softened variation of eugenics.
When we look at people like Rockefeller and his general education board and the work of John Dewey, when we look at what happened with the creation of Rockefeller Medicine, we have to realize today that people that go to medical school and people that go to law school are in fact socially engineered and brainwashed.
And these and what's happened in academia is that this is such a constant environment.
A PhD is a person who never basically attended college and found the environment so congenial that he's never left.
That's what a college professor is today.
And yet I've marked people that are interested in different career fields and fields of human endeavor discussions because we need these people.
Lark, if I might intervene just to make a couple comments.
Well, I have published in the philosophy of history.
It's really the history of science and the philosophy of science in which I earned my PhD.
And of course, having spent 35 years in higher education, I can address those issues with considerable knowledge and authority.
I think when you suggested there are many other examples of sanitized history that we've been given that have clearly false.
Among those I've investigated personally include the moon landing, JFK, 9-11, Sandy Hook, to throw in a very contemporary example, all of which have been falsely reported and even defended in courts of law based upon either the suppression of evidence or the admission of false evidence.
So I couldn't be in more agreement about that.
Now, when you talk about everyone who enters law school or medical school as being brainwashed or somehow mind-controlled, that's a sweeping generalization that I think it would be very difficult to sustain because you're talking about individuals with highly diverse backgrounds,
you know, training, genetics, and incidentally, genetics as the study of genes, you know, more generally for populations, for species and all that, is distinct from eugenics, which is an application of methods to channel evolution in one direction or another, especially by constrained reproduction between certain subpopulations.
So we might want to be a little more precise about some of these matters, lest what you're asserting be dismissed as too sweeping, you know, too general to be true.
That's just a, you know, call it professorial advice, right?
That's well and good, Jim, if I might.
We only have an hour together, and we didn't, we last spoke, I think, three years ago on this network together.
I don't think that was a disjointed conversation.
I don't think anything I had to say at all clicked with you at the time.
And I'm not being, I'm just, this is just from my point of view.
It's not to be castigating in any way.
But I think the people today, and especially in the media scape, what we call alt media, people that are generally concerned about the issues of the day and where we are headed, where we currently are as we go forward into the future, I think many of them are missing the forest for the trees because I assert firmly that without knowledge of communitarianism, its history,
Nation States vs. Communitarian Law00:08:31
and its direct correlation to European Union-style communitarian law, because that's what it is, which is the model legal underpinning for global governance today, then we're missing the force for the trees.
And it's been, I've been on this topic since 2004, obviously.
Maybe I'm a bit biased or consumed by the discussion, but the fact of the matter is, these discussions are being had today.
As I tried to illustrate for you in an email that I sent to you about the vanishing word protocol, that is like a minute and a half clip that will describe the it emanates with the origins of NewSpeak during the time of World War II and George Orwell with Tavistock.
And there's an article that points to that at my website.
And it's about the ordinance of NewSpeak with the linguist C.K. Ogden.
We have to recognize today that language is a technology and it's perhaps man's oldest technology.
We don't think of technologies as really anything more than tools, but very often are they also contrivances of man.
And so what I'm seeing today, and it's heartbreaking to witness, is that we are being conquered as a people, we are being enslaved, we are being warred upon with impunity because we do not recognize the elephant in the room.
The elephant in the room is that this system is one of organized crime made legal.
And we're talking about the people that do not even realize that anything that they're doing is illegal.
And by that, I mean to say that, for example, in the book Human Action, 1958, Lugged von Mises, he described two forms of socialism that the average American would never recognize as forms of socialism today.
And one was corporativism, and the other is syndicalism.
So the average American has no clue what syndicalism is.
Most people, many people, I should say, they understand that Mussolini said that fascism was more correctly corporativism.
But The thing about syndicalism is this, it's trade unionism.
That's what it is.
But people associate trade unions with dock workers, teachers, steel workers, iron workers and the like.
They do not make the connection between white collar trade unionists like U.S. Conference of Mayors, a closed shop trade union, or the National Governors Association, a closed shop trade union.
And there are thousands of these.
So what we have today is world socialism coming into view because now we have the technology to actually make it happen.
And with the increasing embrace of this technology, we're going to come to a time we already are where the law will not matter because the whole system is one of zero trust, controlled access, and what you can and cannot do.
You have all of these people that are probably your neighbors, that their job is to control what you can and cannot do.
And so, I mean, I'm jumping around just a little bit here, but I'm going to say it one more time.
Without knowledge of communitarianism and its direct correlation to communitarian law, you cannot possibly see the world from a macro or a micro perspective and be logical about what you're seeing.
And so here's the thing.
If you've got a multinational corporation in Germany that has a contract with a multinational corporation here in the States, and in turn, they have a fulfillment contract with another multinational corporation in the People's Republic of China, and a dispute, a contract dispute requiring adjudication in a core of court of law should be seen necessary,
which law will hold?
Constitutional law, international law, UN law, what kind of military law?
There are so many types of law today.
We don't realize that, for example, environmental law and public health law are two aspects of communitarian law in a single global world governance.
In a system of communitarianism, nobody has rights which are unaccompanied by duties and responsibilities.
Nation states are thought obsolete.
Instead of nation states, we have seen the rise of the market or the biosecurity state.
And in turn, we continue to see the rise of the so-called smart, data-driven city-state.
So there you have it, nation-state gone by the wayside, market and or biosecurity state in its stead.
And we will be increasingly herded into stack-and-packed cities because it can be managed more efficiently and economically.
And let's not forget what drives everything today in Silicon Valley and with the world of finance is economy and efficiency at all times, at any turn.
And this is supposed to produce for us the so-called peace dividend that the socialists have dreamed of forever.
So I can stop there.
Well, yeah, I want you to, you know, define what you mean by communitarianism.
You said at one point it was kind of like a merger between communism and capitalism, but capitalism thrives on personal property.
Communism abolishes personal property.
How do you gain a reconciliation?
And if you talk about, say, a communitarian version of environmental law, how do we contrast that with the non-communitarian version?
And because we still have nation states, I mean, we have England, Netherlands, Germany, France, Russia, United States.
It's not entirely clear what you mean by saying they've been superseded.
They still exist as entities, legal, geographically defined entities.
So when you say they've been superseded by another model, we need to get an appreciation of exactly what you're telling us, Lark.
We want to learn more about your view of what's happened to the world and why understanding communitarianism and communitarian law is so important.
Well, the fact is, is that independence is being bred right out of us.
I mean, we witnessed this since the bicentennial of 1976, when Jimmy Carter pronounced our Declaration of Interdependence.

Even the government admits that 9-11 was a conspiracy.
But did you know that it was an inside job?
That Osaba had nothing to do with it.
That the twin towers were blown apart by a sophisticated arrangement of mini or micro nukes.
That Building 7 collapsed seven hours later because of explosives planted in the building.
Barry Jennings was there.
He heard them go off and felt himself stepping over dead people.
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted studies of dust gathered from 35 locations in lower Manhattan and found elements that would not have been there had this not been a nuclear event.
Ironically, that means the government's own evidence contradicts the government's official position.
9-11 was brought to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons of the Department of Defense, and the Mossad.

Well, I can't really see that screen very well.
Let me get my magnifying glass to see if it's the right one.
No, you need to go to the most recent emails I sent you, the last two.
The last two.
Okay.
You had it up previously on your screen during the break.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that you recent.
Let me see here.
Yeah.
Let's prevention work out of the way.
Oh, oh, okay.
Hang on a sec.
I think I get it.
Because I have communitarianism first things first.
So we got it somewhere here.
You'd like me to play.
No, no, it's in the email, Jim.
In the email.
That's correct.
Okay.
It's a podcast produced by Butterflies are ninjas.
All right.
My butterflies are ninjas.
Is it on your website?
No, it's not.
Okay.
I've been published in a lot of places, but my website I'm going to leave as it is because it needs to be a standalone work because the subject is confusing to many people, and so I want to leave something behind that condenses the material into a cliff notes explanation, shall we say?
No, no, you're keep you don't want to stay with the right email, okay, and then I'll get we'll get it.
All right.
Let me see here.
This is the most recent, I believe.
Scroll down, scroll down.
Yeah.
Let me see if I see it.
Some about Bad Bunny, about Amazon.
Yeah, that was what I was wanting to bring to your attention, but the board op at Together Network was unable to make it happen during the course of you had two days talking about the Super Bowl halftime.
There's a lot of discussion surrounding that.
Oh, how about communitarianism for the distracted?
Is that it?
No, but that's something I encourage everyone to read.

Okay.
She's a direct descendant of John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
Excellent.
As well as Henry Adams.
Quite a pedigree.
Yeah.
She's her home, she's trying to sell it.
She lives about two miles away from a memorial to that ancestor.
We're into the devil's dictionary.
Yeah, that goes to the word idiot by Ambrose Beerce.
Describes perfectly what is a communitarian today, because as Nikki Rapana wrote more than 20 years ago in 05, we are all communitarians now.
Lark, yeah, since we're having trouble finding, just go ahead and lay it out on us.
Tell us about communitarianism, because I'm still unclear exactly what you have in mind.
Please do share with us.
I'm just trying to tell you explicitly that if you don't know about communitarianism and its effect, especially vis-à-vis the law, what we call too generally the law, then we don't know what's going on.
We can't.
A lot of people like to cite international law and they like to cite constitutional law, but they don't know what they're talking about.
Well, explain.
Just tell us, lay it on.
About the confusion and how communitarianism, a proper understanding thereof, enables us to better grasp the situation we confront the world today.
Go right ahead, Lark.
Modern discussions of communitarianism began in academia in 1971 with the publication of a book by John Rawls titled A Theory of Justice.
And there was quite the heated conversation across the English-speaking world, across the pond, the ponds, and it grew from there.
A lot of people have never heard of Amitai Ezioni.
Amitai Etzioni was a special policy advisor to every American president since Jimmy Carter.
He passed away a couple of years ago.
His name is Werner Falk.
His family emigrated to Palestine in the 30s when the National Socialists came to power.
He found his way to UC Berkeley as a professor in 1958.
He moved on to the Ivy League.
He founded the Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies at George Washington University right outside of the capital in about 1990, 1991.
So a lot of the discussion about communitarianism has been lost because of the way the algorithms work on the internet.
i noticed it myself because i have been subscribed to google google alerts for this one word communitarian forever the uh this the uh results in the searches according to google alerts pretty much dried up about 10 12 years ago
You find a lot more of these of what is current at websites like academia.edu.
Now, when I say that the language of communitarianism, say there used to be a codicil or a contract clause, it was called the supremacy of communitarian law.
Communitarianism and communitarian law came into place, into effect in American life with 9-11, which was a coup d'état, not only upon America, but the world.
Because we forget who were the people that were brought together to create this thing that came about in this aftermath, known as the Department of Homeland Security.
This brought every agency of law enforcement in America under one aegis, one rubric, one umbrella.
And the people that were consulted were people like Professor Herman Goldstein and his problem-oriented policing theory or POP.
POP grew into what's called COPS, community-oriented policing services.
And this is based on the broken window theory and pre-crime and the like, because in a communitarian world, you've got your life sciences, you've got your physical sciences, and you have your social sciences.
And all these scientists get seats at the table in a communitarian system of governance or management.
The watchword today is governance, not government.
Because governments are all bankrupted to their creditors.
Two or three things.
Yeah, if I might interject, Lark.
The role of the university is to discover knowledge, new knowledge, recover old knowledge, develop our ability to think intellectually.
It's not governance.
So suggesting that because you have three branches of academic institutions, rather traditional humanity, social, financial science, doesn't mean they ought to have a role in governance.
When I look at a theory of justice of Rawls, now some of this is coming back to me.
It's a theory, a social contract theory.
It says that everyone should agree in the community on how goods and services are to be distributed without knowing their role in the society.
A social contract theory.
And it's supposed to be a contrast with utilitarianism, where utilitarianism has two distinct branches.
Classic utilitarianism says an action is right or wrong if it would contribute more good than any alternative choice or decision that might be made for everyone.
Limited Utilitarianism Debate00:04:43
There you have to take into account the negative effects of some decisions for some classes of people versus others.
It's like a public school system.
You're taking resources, you're allocating them to create a system of public education to which all citizens are going to have access.
Well, that's going to impose, depending on how the taxes are raised, usually property taxes.
Some are going to pay more, others are going to pay less.
But if it's thought to be equitable under the theory of justice, that might be something that would be endorsed.
On the other hand, we have what I call limited utilitarianism, where the rightness or wrongness of an action is dependent on the benefits for that special group, regardless of the consequences for others.
So I would submit in Israel today, you have limited utilitarianism, where what's good for the Israeli citizens is regarded as beneficial and positive, regardless of the consequences for others, such as the Palestinians.
In other words, the limited utilitarian isn't going to take into account the negative consequences of their decisions for an affected group, even if it's of the most extreme form, such as taking their land and taking their lives, or subjecting them to a life of slavery.
Now, among the faults I find with social contract theories is everyone could agree to have a society that has masters and slaves because the masters are going to drive so much more benefit from having a class of slaves that this is fundamentally wrong regardless of whether it were endorsed by the group or not.
And thus I espouse, and I've explained it multiple places, most easily accessible evaluating moral theories on my blog at jamesatretzer.org and on unsunz.com, the nature of immorality, where I explain that the deontological theory of treating everyone with respect is a basic principle of ethics,
and that it has superior results to social contract theory, classic utilitarianism, limited utilitarianism.
It seems to me that you're identifying communitarianism with a Rawlsian theory of justice as fairness.
Am I right?
Am I right?
Is that your approach?
Because I wouldn't say that.
I have more of a broad brush view.
Okay, well, go for it.
Go for it.
Go for it within this framework.
Please.
The fact of the matter is, is there are differences in the definitions for words like ethics and morals and values and traditions.
And these things are today, the emphasis is away from morality and towards ethics.
And this is borne out by the example of Alistair McIntyre, who recently retired from Notre Dame University.
He was a leading communitarian thinker for many years.
So he died after Amitai Etsion.
Amitai, one of Amitai Etsioni's sons, is called the world's leading opponent for artificial intelligence.
And today we have people that are justifying the merger of theology with machine learning and stuff like that.
We have to examine what this tech is doing to our world, or we're not going to come out of this.
It's going to get even worse.
Because when you talk about people that want to control others, whether you call them uber capitalist or whether you call them arch communist, they really are driven by the same aim, and that is monopoly control over all means of production, whether they want to admit it or not.
It's in all the literature.
1962-1966 Recruitments00:03:34
You know, in American history, we're not familiar with people like Charles Merriam or William Willoughby or even Maynard Peirsig, who was the father of Robert Peirsig.
Remember Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance and Lila and Inquiry into morals.
This happened on our watch, Jim, in our time.
But when we were going to school, by the way, point of departure, was it your first overseas assignment in Okinawa, Japan in about 1961 or two?
Yeah, I was uh commissioned as second lieutenant in uh June of 1962 when I graduated from Brinson.
Went to Quantico, had uh infantry officer trained in artillery at Fort Sill and my first oversee assignment was with the third Marine Division, first battalion, twelve Marines, based in Okinawa.
And when I arrived there, we were performing training ops in Japan.
So I was sent there to be the fire direction officer to a mortar battery, and we were lobbing mortar shells at the base of the sacred mountain where you can see in the distance the pilgrims making their trip.
And I turned to the exo and I said, no wonder they call us ugly Americans.
I mean, it was just all outrageous, Lark.
But go ahead.
Yes, that's true.
There was that discussion in those years.
I was there, believe it or not, from about 1962 to 1966.
I was a straight A student because I wanted to please my parents.
And myself and another student were taken out of class or taken aside, and we were told that we should go into a gifted program.
And this is how the intelligence agencies recruit people from the schools.
They pick them out so that they can train them and make them serve their purposes, their ends.
So I was because my dad was only, my stepfather was only an enlisted man, we were transferred stateside as a family to Louisiana in 1966.
And remember, I was born in Florida, but I've only been back once, and that was in 1966 for a funeral.
And yet I was raised in the largely the Pacific Northwest.
So I'd never had the grounding that a lot of people have about a place and where they're from.
And also, my parents were estranged from their family.
So I never knew uncles and aunts and grandparents.
I never met my real dad till I was 19.
Before the break, I was wanting to mention that the very first Earth Day, which you can find on YouTube because there were news accounts just by doing a search, April 22nd, 1970, say CBS News and Walter Cronkite, for instance.
That was the 100th year anniversary of Vladimir Lenin's birthday.
Bottom Entry: Communitarianism00:06:00
We think that was an accident.
I don't think it was.
And I mean, I can certainly send lots of information for people to peruse, but if they have no interest in the topic, I can't reach them.
Well, Lark, we're trying to get a grasp of the elements of communitarianism.
I take it you would acknowledge Rawls is a representative of one version of communitarianism.
But there were so many others.
Yeah, and by the way, I believe there is, you know, there are principles of morality and the theory of morality, and we can get that straight.
Then when you apply the theory of morality to specific domains like academia, medical, legal, you get ethics.
You know, as ethics is the application of general principles of morality to specific domains, academic ethics, journalistic ethics, legal ethic, medical ethics, and all that.
When you suggest that the fighting for morality into ethics, you see, that's how I would see it as a conceptual framework.
The ethics and specific domain is simply the application of the general principles of morality to the issues that arise within that domain.
That's how I would see it.
But go right ahead.
Give us your best summation of communitarianism and why it's such a threat, because that's really what drives your work as I understand it.
Go for it.
Well, and you can find it at my website.
You know, if you ever care to announce it, you may, or I can.
But the thing is, you can read every word on that website in under an hour.
And so at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself: well, is this something that we should have some concern about?
Yes or no?
And that's fair enough.
But the concern for this word, this obscure word, is made plain in the entry that I have preceded with an asterisk,
as I indicated the other day on communitarianism, collected musings, April 2020, the very bottom entry on my website.
Just scroll down.
Yeah.
You'll see it, the entry that says on community, the very bottom entry.
Also, I recommend all these, okay, because there it is with the asterisk.
Okay, go right ahead.
The reason this page is useful is because the first entry called Three C's and a Few Words More describes exactly what communitarianism is with six words.
Okay, and that it also suggests a way to navigate the site.
And I direct people to this one because there are video tutorials at the bottom of this entry.
But if you scroll down until you see some red letters, weaponizing weaponizing.
Yeah, go ahead.
That's a very useful thing to read.
So scroll down further.
Right there, stop.
Why should we be concerned about communitarianism?
Because of two overarching communitarian policy objectives.
This is where you live, where you are right now, your audience members, locally as well as across the world.
And those two are depopulation and techno-slavery.
Depopulation is simply a euphemism for total war, which is unrestricted war.
Every kind of warfare that you can conceive that is not necessarily bombs bursting in the air and the bullets whizzing past your ears in the streets.
Techno-slavery is important because it is technological slavery.
That's the title of a book written by Theodore Kaczynski and David Skurbina, for instance, and others.
But techno-slavery in my parlance.
By the way, this idea of communitarianism was not, the word wasn't very, it was controversial, even within academia.
People didn't like the word.
Tony Blair wrote a book, he called, it was called The Third Way.
In fact, that was what it was termed as the third wave, because what were they looking to do?
They were trying to bring together the elements of communism and capitalism that needed to be crystallized in the modern world in a hyper-connected world with the technology to actually achieve this dream of world socialism.
And so, I mean, we have arrived.
Techno-slavery means, again, these grin technologies, what's leading the charge, what's going to enslave us in the digital and opticon.
What do we mean by the world wide web?
Well, that's like the spider's web.
And once you're in the system and you're in the spider's web, if you do not have one arm and/or one leg outside of that web, then you're going to be ensnared.
And guess what's going to happen?
Spider's Web Trap00:02:31
You're going to flail about.
You're going to become weakened by your system by being ensnared in the spider's web.
You're spider stretching along another thing that you can find.
