Truth vs. NEW$ Inc, Part 1 (9 March 2025) with Don Grahn, Joachim Hagopian, and Brian Davidson
Don Grahn, Joachim Hagopian, and Brian Davidson analyze a hypothetical four-day US-Israel war against Iran following the alleged killing of Ayatollah Khamenei. They argue Iranian retaliation targets GCC economies and critical infrastructure like desalination plants to choke global oil supplies, while accusing Donald Trump of lying about Iran's intentions. The hosts warn that economic collapse and AI-driven transhumanist agendas threaten a one-world government, suggesting the American Empire is a "paper tiger" facing systemic failure rather than immediate nuclear apocalypse. [Automatically generated summary]
We've got on March the 9th here, you've got some heavy news coming up that you're going to want to share and learn about and prepare for the worst.
So now, you know, we have the best people here to share the heavy news that we have.
We've got Jim Fetcher, who's a professor of a very, well, longtime professor, written such famous books as Who You What and Why on JFK and other books.
Somewhat 50 books or more, Jim.
And they're just awesome, and he's having a movie meeting of them.
So things are happening here for Jim that are really excellent.
We also have Brian Davidson, a private detective out of Texas, who's been solving other people's problems and doing good.
And he has insights that nobody else seems to have.
Plus, all the way up to Bali, we have Joaquin Magopian, and he got the insights on world affairs and that he writes about like nobody else can from his perspective.
So, Jim, I guess we got to start off today with a story about how Iran can paralyze the West in one move.
Now, that sounds pretty dang heavy.
By the way, to start his show.
Well, before we get there, Don, I want to comment on the press conference Trump just held where he answered a good number of questions, but unfortunately did so with grossly, provably false answers.
He was saying that Iran was seeking to take over the entire Middle East.
He was affirming if he hadn't hit Iran first, Iran would have hit us.
Iran has perhaps the greatest record as a peace-loving nation of any of the world, not having launched a war of aggression against any other state since 1775.
What he was saying was just flat out false, fabricated, grotesquely wrong.
I am embarrassed.
This man is president of the United States.
They come out and shovel so much bullshit.
He did imply the war's near an end, implied he'd been completely successful.
And I do add, this occurred after he'd received a phone call from Vladimir Putin that endured for an hour.
So Putin may have had some stern words for the Donald.
In any case, virtually every story we have today contradicts what he was claiming about Iran.
So as you observed on the very first, He's with this wonderful Chinese and I'm a big fan of his lectures.
So this gives us an overview.
So we're going to watch it and then I'll get your comments on it.
I really like what he does.
He did.
Excellent.
Yes.
I have to do research at Harvard.
And if I were to die on this, I would want every person with memory loss.
I hope everyone had a nice break and welcome back to the end of the world.
So as you know, World War III has started.
The United States and Israel have started to attack Iran.
And we are now in the fourth day of this war.
And we can expect this war to last for many weeks, possibly also for many years.
But I promise you that after this war is done, the world will never be the same again.
In the early morning of Saturday in Tehran, the Israelis and Americans launched a decapitation strike against the Aylatone Haminai, who is the supreme leader of Iran.
Now, there are arguments and disputes about as to what happened.
The Americans in Israelis said that they had real intelligence about where the leader was, and so they sent airplanes to just bomb the crap out of a place.
They also had a spy who was able to record the body of the dead Aratolla.
And then this was announced.
At first, the Iranians denied this, and the Iranians insisted he was still alive.
But eventually, state media admitted that he did die in the airstrike.
But then what they also said is that the Aratolla, he's 86 years old and he chose to die.
He could have gone to Moscow, but instead he chose to stay in Tehran and die for his people.
But not only that, but he died along many of his relatives.
He died along with his daughter, his son-in-law, his grandchildren.
So many of the family died in this assault.
Also, there's been reporting that he had prostrate cancer.
So he was going to die fairly soon as well.
So what you need to understand first about the war is that even though the Americans and Israelis claim great success in decapitating the leadership of the Iranians, from the Iranian perspective, this is a martyrdom, martyrdom.
So the religion of the Iranians is called Shia, Muslim.
And this is different from Sunni Muslim.
So Sunnis are the majority, about 9% of all Muslims in the world.
The Shia have always been the minority.
And as such, they've always been persecuted.
In the Shia faith, the core value, the force that binds everyone together and gives them purpose and meaning in life, that galvanizes them into action, is the idea of martyrdom, which forces jihad.
You sacrifice yourself for your religion, sacrifice yourself for the common good.
So think of the death of Khamenei as a sacrifice, a self-sacrifice, in order to motivate their Iranians in this war.
So that's the first thing you need to understand.
That for the Iranians, this is not a gibbetical war.
This is not an economic war.
This is not a war of resistance.
This is a jihad.
It's a war against the great Satan to revenge their leader.
They will fight to the death.
That's number one.
Number two is this.
Also, that morning when Bayatollah was killed, the Israelis struck a school in the south of Tehran, killing about 150 school children.
These are girls in primary school.
And again, there's a lot of debate and argument as to what happened.
The Israelis said that, first of all, the school was next to a military base.
We were targeting a military base.
And second of all, it wasn't us which struck the school.
It was an air defense missile that went off course.
And the Iranians insisted, no, the Israelis purposefully attacked the school to kill the school children.
And then you're like, why would the Israelis do that?
Within these few years, we've seen what they've done in Gaza, in Palestine, to the Palestinians.
And it's pretty consistent what the Israelis have been doing.
So this action against the Israelis, it's meant to show to themselves in the world that we are now all in.
We've made the sacrifice.
We are now committed to this war to win this war at all costs.
And this action has also provoked the Iranian people to resist with their full might.
So I want you to keep this in mind.
And again, we don't have complete evidence that it's the Israelis who did this, but given past actions from the Israelis, this is fairly consistent with what they've done.
So we can assume that this is something the Israelis did.
Why they did this, what the purpose is, is something we will discuss as we move on.
It's very complicated.
Next, I want to show you this.
This is Dubai.
And Dubai is considered one of the wealthiest, safest cities in the world.
There are thousands, tens of thousands of Westerners who move to Dubai because it's clean, you don't pay any taxes, you make a lot of money, and there are great restaurants.
And this is really the economic model of Dubai.
It's one of the Gulf, the GCC countries, the Gulf coastal countries.
And for the longest time, Dubai had a really good deal because they were under the protection of the American military.
So they didn't have to pay for defense.
And then they were in the Middle East, which is the oil-producing center of the world.
And so they focus on aviation.
They focus on logistics.
They focus on finance, on tourism.
They mean extremely wealthy, right?
I'm not sure if you're thinking Emirates, one of the best airlines in the world.
So their airport, Dubai Airport, is the busiest in the world.
And Dubai, for the longest time, was flourishing under American protection.
And Dubai said to the world, listen, we're like Switzerland.
We're neutral.
We don't want any involvement in any wars.
We're here just to take care of our citizens, to make sure everyone has a good time, to make money.
And then right after the war started, the Iranians attacked the GCC.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Iran, Qatar, Kuwait.
They attacked these places.
And these places are like, what's going on?
We're neutral, man.
We're not involved in this war.
And the airport was shut down in Dubai.
At one point, the rich people in Dubai were willing to pay about $350,000 US dollars just to get on a plane and get out of there.
So the reality is this.
For the longest time, Dubai had a reputation for being safe.
And that's why people moved their money there.
Guess what, guys?
After what the Iranians did, it's dead.
Dubai is a city in the long term.
It is dead.
Because you're a wealthy Westerner, you're not going to move to a place where it could be attacked anytime by the Iranians.
You might move to Singapore, you might move to Hong Kong, Japan, South America, but you're not moving to Dubai.
So the big question for us is, why do the Iranians do this?
It was the Israelis and the Americans who attacked you.
Why go after the GCC?
And not only that, but they're escalating the attacks against the GCC.
So this is something that we will look at very closely today.
Well, the short answer is because these places, even though they pretend to be neutral, they house the American military.
They allow the Israelis and the Americans to use their airspace to attack Iran from.
So this is Bahrain.
Now, Bahrain is interesting, okay?
Because I want you guys to remember this.
But Bahrain will probably be one of the major centers of this conflict.
Because first of all, this is the American Fifth Fleet.
This is their naval base in the Middle East.
And as you can see, the Iranians are attacking it with missiles.
And it's being blown up.
Bahrain is interesting because it has about 50% or even more, Shia, which is the religion of the Iranians.
But the people in charge are the Sunnis.
And so what makes this strike really important from our perspective is, first of all, not only are the Iranians attacking U.S. military assets, not only are they destroying the economies of the GCC, they're also trying to ignite a religious war, right?
Because you're Shia, you're loyal to the Adatollah.
And if he's dead, then you must, as a religious obligation, now commit jihad against your enemies.
And it's no different in other religions where, listen, if you want to kill the Pope, the Catholics would be really angry at you and they would want to kill you, right?
So now you have the Shia who will probably eventually arise, creating a revolution in Buran, okay?
So I think Buran will be the first to fall.
Dubai will probably go bankrupt.
But in the long term, we can expect the entire GCC area, including Saudi Arabia, to eventually collapse.
Okay?
And this is something we'll use game theory to understand.
All right, let's continue.
So we will know how this war develops just based on geography.
Okay.
So this is a map.
And this map, even if you don't really know the war, even if you don't know the participants, even if you don't know the weaponry, this map will tell you exactly how this war will progress.
All right, so some certain things to keep in mind about this map.
This is what we call this area, okay?
Really small, but it's 33 kilometers wide, okay?
People can swim across it.
It's really, really narrow, okay?
This small area, guys, it's called the Shirt of Humus.
And it's important because it's really the center of the world.
This one area is the nexus, the pivot of the world.
Let me explain why.
First of all, from the GCC, you have 20% of all the world's oil flowing through this narrow strait.
Where does it go, guys?
It goes to Asia, India, Pakistan, South Korea, China, Japan.
India depends on 60% of its oil from this area.
China depends on 40%.
Japan, 75%.
Prime Minister Takeichi of Japan has said that, listen, if the Shirafumus closes, we're going to have oil in about eight, nine months.
The entire Japanese economy would collapse in eight, nine months if the Shirkhumus were to close.
And guess what?
The Iranians have closed the Shira Humus.
So we can expect that the entire global economy will suffer greatly over the next few months.
So that's point number one.
Point number two is: so the GCE sends oil across the Shirt of Humus, and what do they get back in return?
Food, guys.
All right, so people don't appreciate the GCC, but it is really the linchpin of the American Empire.
Because what is the American Empire?
The American Empire is the petrol dollar.
All right?
The idea of the petrol dollar is this.
The US dollar is worth nothing.
It's only valuable when people want it.
But the GCE says that if you want oil from us, you have to pay us in US dollars.
Okay?
Then that is the basis of the I know you're saying to yourself.
I can't imagine it.
What we're saying to you, imagine it.
Imagine the value of the US dollar.
So, if the GCC collapses, the American economy and the American Empire both collapse at the same time.
The problem though is the GCC is an artificial construct of empire.
It does not exist naturally.
Why?
Because there's no food, there's no oil, no water.
The Petrol Dollar's Collapse00:11:13
Okay, guys?
No food, no water.
So these cities are able to grow in the millions because of all these petrol dollars flowing in.
If you close off the shirt of Humus, there's no food coming in.
They're all gonna starve.
How much food does the GCC get from overseas?
80%.
80% of all the food it consumes comes from overseas that it imports.
It doesn't grow by itself, it imports.
So the Siber Moose is really key.
And again, the Iranians will close it in order to strangle the global economy and therefore bankrupt the American Empire.
Second thing you will notice is these mountains.
These mountains is what we call Iran.
This is Iran.
This is GCC.
This is not a fair matchup, right?
Because these are mountains.
And what can you do with mountains?
We can hide rocket bases.
You can hide drone bases.
You can hide missiles.
And that's the entire Iranian offensive strategy.
From here, they can hide missiles and drones from which to attack the GCC.
And what are they attacking?
They're attacking three things, right?
They're attacking American military bases, American military bases.
That's number one.
Is it possible for the Americans to defend against these hacks?
The answer is no!
They're not, it's not.
It's the silliest thing in the world.
You have all these bases in the Middle East, but you cannot defend them against the Iranians.
That's kind of strange.
Okay, but that's number one.
Number two is oil and energy.
How hard is it to blow up an oil field with a drone?
Not hard at all.
Can you defend these oil fields?
No, you cannot.
Number three, and it's most important, is water.
You guys don't know this, but the GCC has little access to fresh water.
So the only way that it can produce water is what we call desalination plants, okay?
These factories that take salt water and then through electrochemical process turn it into fresh water for the population to use.
60% of the water supply in the GCC comes from desalination plants.
60%.
Is it hard to blow up a desalination plant using a drone?
The answer is it's very easy.
You understand?
So you have this absurd situation where Iran is a mountain fortress where it can hide its offensive capacity and the GCC is just this desert, this flat desert, and it is exposed to attack and there's nothing it can do about it.
So at any point in this war, the Iranians can choose to just destroy the entire GCC and there's nothing that anyone can do about it.
But Iran also has a weakness, okay?
And this is fundamental.
So Iran also has a water problem.
So for the longest time, they suffered a drought issue.
Just climate change.
And so what the plan of the Israelis and Americans is, is destroy the water supply of the Iranians.
Because the fortress, it is a mountain fortress, but it can also be a mountain prison as well, where people are trapped inside with no access to water.
So what we're going to see right now, we're already seeing attacks on civilian infrastructure, hospitals.
In the future, you'll see attacks on water supply, on dams, on reservoirs, on power plants.
The point, the idea, is to make Iran so inhabitable that the people will have to rebel against the people or there'll be a refugee crisis in Iraq.
So as you can see from this map, this war, it is the end of the world.
Both sides have to potentially destroy each other.
It's really a question of how far do they want to go.
We can also say this is almost a game of chicken.
We can blow each other up.
How far do you want to go?
And the problem is this.
The problem is that the Iranians are Shia, which believes in martyrdom.
And you've killed the religious leader, Danato Khamenei.
So they're willing to go very, very far.
The GCU treaties are Muslim, but they're materialistic.
They love money.
And also, most of the population are expatriates, foreigners.
90% of Dubai are foreigners.
Guess what's going to happen if they suffer?
They're going to run away.
So this is not a fear matchup.
Yeah, so I think it's completely brilliant how he lays it out.
We're missing Waheim.
Brian, your thoughts.
Well, I had heard about Professor Zhang doing a number of updates that things that I didn't understand from an academic perspective.
And I got to say, I'm very impressed with the guy.
I think for the most part, we've looked at the Middle Eastern warfare as if Israel is pulling all the strings and that it's somehow a religious, a religious doctrine that's keeping them alive.
But the more I listen to Professor Zhang, the more I'm convinced that it has very little to do with religion, since first of all, most of those people are atheists and they just simply don't care.
Matter of fact, even modern Judaism doesn't seem to really care about moral and ethical things related to the Bible whatsoever, and neither does America from an official perspective anymore.
And so there's been a lot of chatter about whether this is some sort of religious support mechanism to build a new temple and have Trump casino on the temple land.
All of that seems like it's minimizing the more you listen to Professor Zhang that this is really a struggle for U.S. hegemony.
And Israel is just simply the modern base that we've chosen to establish, which is why we've chosen to align ourselves with these people, even though they're so deep into these blackmail operations.
Our government's willing to overlook all that to keep the United States way of life up and running.
If I had my way, I'd go back to a constitutional republic concept, keep our noses out of everybody's business.
We got enough natural resources here to not worry about what's going on in the Middle East, but I see how important it is for the US dollar now after listening to Professor Jag talk about it.
And I'm beginning to see this whole war more as a preservation of global or U.S. hegemony over some sort of religious crusade.
And so I really appreciate his insight.
He's one of the very few academics that I have a tremendous amount of respect for.
Now, I've been listening to him for about a week, and I'm convinced the guy's adding more to the conversation than anybody else out there right now.
That's pretty much my feeling.
I mean, having lectured for 35 years, the guy gives a brilliant lecture.
It is so damn good.
And by the way, another of the whoppers told by Trump was Iran was, you know, only weeks away from nukes when taking out Khamenei, who had given a fatlaw against nukes.
This guy was the greatest preserver of Iran not having nukes.
Now that he's gone, the fablot could be overridden.
Iran could very well develop nukes in a relatively short order of time because he's gone.
Joachim, your thoughts.
Yeah, the son that's now taking this place, he's not so keen on going easy.
He realizes that Iran with nukes gives them more defense.
No one's going to attack a country with nukes unless they are expecting that they will return it.
That's one of the reasons why nobody has even attacked Israel because America, it stands for America, which never gets attacked directly, and Israel, which never gets attacked.
But this changes everything because it's existential for Iran to fight back.
And yes, this was a last ploy, a last desperate attempt on the part of the United States Empire to exist.
And the United States Empire is failing to exist based on this war.
It's now sped up its own demise.
Had they not attacked Iran, they would have a better chance of maintaining some regional level and global hegemony power.
But now it's like the emperor with the naked clothes.
They are naked.
They are basically steamed.
All the Gulf states that so put 100% of their security on America have realized now that America is a paper tiger.
It's not just words.
It is a paper tiger.
They have chosen to put all their eggs in the one basket called Israel for defense and protection.
And they will do anything because if they blackmail Trump will do anything, which means go to World War III for the sake of not being exposed.
But the evidence is so much there that he has been a pedophile for a good part of his life, acting out with underage children.
And he can't put the genie back in the bottle.
It's out there.
There's too much evidence.
So he's going down anyway.
He's a couple of months, a few months from 80 years old.
His health is shit.
He eats McDonald's hamburgers, I understand.
He's a fast food junk addict.
And his health is showing up worse and worse each week.
He's also, his mind is shot.
I mean, he was always, you know, takes offense to anything, thin-skinned, and then goes on the offense.
That's his MO all his life.
He's known for lawsuit after lawsuit.
He's very aggressive.
And, you know, of course, he learned from his mentor, Roy Cohn, you know, on how to be aggressive, who is a pedophile himself, ran some pedophile on the East Coast.
He was the known pedophile that ran the network there.
The Real Terrorist Enemy00:05:36
Anyway, yes, what we're seeing here is Iran has the power to fight back and prove that the United States is a paper tiger that cannot protect other countries like the Gulf states.
And therefore, the whole world is realizing that the United States is a desperado.
It's acting on total lawlessness, total brute force.
But it cannot sustain a war because it does not have the production facilities to keep their weapons manufacturing going like Russia.
They do not have that capacity.
So they're going to be running out of weapons far sooner than Iran.
And all they got is the decapitation strikes.
And once again, apparently there was an Iranian general, Chani, Q-A-N-N-I, or something like that, that actually was a traitor and worked with the United States on going after Khamenei.
I still have some real questions about that.
I mean, that could be the case.
I ran across that.
But I also think that to some extent, Russia, China, including India, as BRICS members, have not done enough.
Now, I understand for quite some time, Iran Pride said, no, no, thank you to the assistance that Russia and China could have lent.
But so anyway, I hope that Russia and China can step up in helping to protect and preserve this ancient culture and so much respect for.
First of all, I'm Armin.
We look alike.
That's just the reality of being from the same place in the Middle East.
And I identify with that culture.
They are a peace-loving culture, as you mentioned, Jim.
They have not invaded another country in close to what, 300 years now.
You know, so, and they're very advanced.
They're very smart.
And so, you know, I have a lot of respect for them.
And unfortunately, the brainwash of the West and the United States in particular has made them the terrorist enemy when, in fact, the real terrorist enemy is Israel and the United States.
And we all have to get that.
All the people that have been brainwashed have to get that basic concept that the United States and Israel are the true terrorists.
It's not the reverse that we've been brainwashed forever now that all those Middle Eastern, those, you know, Islamic terrorists, you know, I mean, the Islamic state, Al-Qaeda, all of them, they're the manufacturer of Israel and the United States and Gulf states.
They are the ones that manufactured those groups, the jihad groups, you know, they're the ones that did it.
It's not Iran.
It's not these other countries that have been labeled as terrorist nations.
So, you know, the miseducation and dumbing down of America, not to get the reality, it just obsessed me tremendously.
So we're learning a big lesson here.
This is a huge lesson for America and the world to learn about what's right, what's wrong.
And American government, they have been wrong as a brute aggressor for, well, as long as they've existed, you know, like 93% of the time, America is fighting and killing people in another country somewhere on this earth.
93% of the time out of the 250 years it's been in existence.
So you have to say that the United States is the aggressor and the enemy of the world.
And of course, the essence of that is what it does with Israel.
You know, so we all have to be educated and brought up to speed about the reality of the world.
And the reality of the world, if there's any nations that need to be stopped from their aggression and it's inbred so that it's genetic, it's like, and that's Israel and the United States.
They are the bad guys on this earth for making war and killing people massively, more than any other country.
I mean, they still got, the United States has something like 700 military posts around the world.
If you wear your articles, Russia and China, and you have to be up about 607.
This is 607.
Russia and China.
And Baha have to have murder and destruction all around.
Secretive Underground Facility Destroyed00:02:31
One of the most secretive underground facilities is now in ruins.
According to unverified reports, an Iranian missile has struck what is believed to be one of Israel's largest underground wartime shelters in Tel Aviv, a heavily protected facility reportedly used by Israeli leaders during major conflicts.
Witnesses described a massive explosion followed by a raging fire at the site.
Flames quickly spread across the area, burning buses and cars nearby as thick smoke poured into the sky.
The surrounding streets were left littered with debris while firefighters rushed to the scene, struggling to contain the blaze as residents fled in panic.
The underground shelter is believed to be part of Israel's extensive civil defense and command network, a system designed to shield top officials and security leadership during wartime emergencies.
According to these initial reports, the Iranian missile may have penetrated the area's defenses, triggering a powerful blast that set parts of the underground facility ablaze.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether any senior Israeli leaders were inside the shelter at the time of the strike.
However, the attack has already sent shockwaves through Israel's security establishment, raising urgent questions about the vulnerability of even the country's most fortified wartime command sites.
This video showed Iranian missiles lighting up the night sky over Tel Aviv.
Below, sirens were blaring, forcing people to rush to bomb shelters to save their lives.
A massive thunderous impact from the missiles can be heard in the video.
This comes as the IRGC confirmed it fired the 30th wave of missiles toward Israel and U.S. bases in the region.
30 waves of missiles so far.
Tel Aviv and Haifa have been very seriously damaged.
One of these Iranian missiles has 80 cluster warheads.
In other words, it breaks into 80 separate bomblets, which is totally unstoppable.
30 Waves of Missiles Hit the Gulf00:04:20
Not only is Israel suffering, but the various Gulf states are as well.
Here we have a report about it.
Bankrupt due to a liquidity crisis that is causing lots of problems for reasons I'm not quite able to discern.
The links aren't working.
Huh.
And of course, we know with The son of the Khamenei, named a successor, is Joaquin as observed, appears not to be so reluctant to use nukes as was his father.
The situation here about even involving bankrupts is that BlackRock, which controls 10 trillion in asset, 10 trillion, had to put a stop on those who are coming to withdraw their assets because of the war, which has shaken up the financial markets.
The fact is that the salting centers in the coastal states are under attack after Iran was hit with its desolinization plant.
The difference being Iran only gets 5% of its drinking water from the desolinization plants, whereas the Gulf Coast states get like 70 or 80%.
So the situation very different.
It also turns out Iranian drones have destroyed an American cloud center there.
So that AI processing is taking a heavy, heavy hit in the Middle East.
And notice the trouble is compounded by taking out the desolinization plants because those data processing centers require lots and lots of water for cooling purposes.
Lots and lots of water for cooling purposes.
Joaquin, your thoughts.
Joaquin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've written about the data centers and they have to be cooled down all the time, non-stop, and how they've multiplied in America and Europe.
You know, the big tech companies are just going nuts with AI.
Hey, that's the future.
That's the control mechanism, you know, 24-hour surveillance system that they're injecting on this earth.
It's worldwide.
Let's face it.
There's a plan for one world government, and they use the AI technology to basically maintain an eye and control over all the humans on this earth.
That's their game plan, anyway.
And so, yeah, the water resource is more precious now than ever before in the time humans have been on the earth.
And there's trouble ahead because obviously, in many places, even with the water-making, cloud-seeding technologies, those Gulf states are really hurting because, yes, they are in the desert.
Iran has mountains, and where there's altitude, there's more precipitation, and they have a better chance of faring well with the resources being so taken out now.
The American Empire's Gas Apocalypse00:07:33
Yeah, I really hate to see it, but the Gulf states, I don't see a future.
If they can't get their oil out, they're going down.
And as long as Ormuz is closed, they can't get the oil out and gas.
And so, yeah, I mean, their fate is basically stealed.
They put all their stocks in the wrong basket for security, and that was the American Empire.
The American Empire is going down.
I mean, it's really very, very sad because that's America.
That's where we grow up.
That's where we are, you know, alliance and patriotism and all the rest.
All of those who have served our nation, you know, we were ready to die at one point for our nation.
But unfortunately, in modern times, we're seeing like right now that our nation was taken over by secret societies, by all kinds of horrible rituals done to children that have been going on for a long, long time under our nose.
We're now just through the Epstein files finding out the extent that basically the wealthy class has been involved in it.
Not every single individual in the wealthy class, but the ones that are at the highest in power appear to be all either members or enablers, one or the other.
And that's what's the root of what's a lot of the problems in the world: that we have basically what I would even call Satanists in charge of the power structure of the world.
So, what we have to do, if the human species is to survive, we have to find ways in which we can take that power away from them and remove them from any source of power.
Because let's face it, they are up to depopulate the human population on this earth.
And we have to be fighting back, or there's no future for the humankind on this earth.
So we have so much at stake.
You know, yes, war is a horrible thing, but it's coming for all of us.
And that's what I have also been saying for a long time: you know, that we are all Palestinians.
Yes, they killed a huge percentage of the women and children and the civilian population in Palestine.
And they're going after the rest of us.
They're going after Russia.
They're going after China.
And they're going after all humans on this earth.
Their vision as transhumanists is to have a cyborg population partially made out of a machine and maybe some genetic hybrid of human.
But whatever that is, that's evil.
That's part of the whole AI robotics aggression to take over all humans, the replacement agenda.
So, yeah, we have, I mean, this war and everything else that's been happening in the last year or so is showing the people of the world, one, there's no such thing as an international law system, that it's being disobeyed, completely violated by rogue states, America and Israel, and that the evil rests in the power structure on this earth,
and we have to remove it if the human species is to survive.
It's down to this.
This is the brass tax of where it's going very rapidly.
Brian.
Wow.
Yeah, every time we get into some sort of war, there starts to be a lot of chatter about the apocalypse and go buy toilet paper and bunkers have been destroyed.
You know, you got to take these things with a change with a grain of salt because a lot of people are out there trying to capitalize on the mayhem in the midst of this.
And I can tell you that BB's bunker being blown up, yeah, that's a good headline.
It gets a lot of attention.
Has it been confirmed?
You know, I don't know.
It's not like Israel is going to go out there and confirm it anyway, even if it was.
So it's going to be hard to get reliable information on that.
So I guess we do got to rely on the Times of India on that.
As for the apocalypse angle, again, we get a lot of these articles by people who are trying to capitalize on this with end time scenario, buy this package.
Better hurry before while supplies last.
You know, I can tell you that the real apocalypse scenario here is a lot less Hollywood and a lot more system failure.
Energy shock, shipping disruption, inflation, repricing of valuable goods, panic spreading through the credit system, consumer confidence.
And so you have to be real careful.
The other thing that was there was sort of a bank run scenario.
It's not something I declare as imminent, but a prolonged shock can absolutely create a liquidity strain, tighten up credit, and magnify fears that were already there.
So, you know, I guess I would say be patient, enjoy the gas prices, why they're low, expect it to go up even higher than what it is.
I noticed in my neighborhood, it jumped from about 250 to 280 to 320 virtually overnight at the different gas stations I was looking at.
And so I think for the wise listener, they'll basically separate the war mythology from the system's reality and, you know, really consider that this is the time to buckle down, start saving more cash, start putting more money in shoeboxes, whatever you've got to do.
But it's not necessarily go spend your last dollar to buy more toilet paper time like they did during COVID.
Well, it's very interesting.
I'll say this.
I'm not one to panic.
I'm not one to panic, but everything's going up.
And we know that it's not suddenly going to drop.
The gas prices, the utility for heating, for air conditioning in the summer, all the prices, food prices, the shortages of goods, all of that is going to increase.
And a lot of people, the homelessness and the rest of the destitute and impoverished, it's going to increase throughout the world, the ripple effect of the global economy.
Catastrophic Regional Escalation00:12:16
And so we're going to have a lot more people hurting.
And that's very real.
That's not hype.
That's fear.
That's reality.
And I have to bring that home.
It appears that the Rainhands have had a tremendous success.
The first reports came in just after midnight.
A massive explosion echoed across the Negev Desert.
And within minutes, emergency sirens were screaming across southern Israel.
At first, military officials believed it was another routine missile interception.
But what satellite sensors detected seconds later told a completely different story.
Multiple high-speed ballistic objects were descending directly toward one of Israel's most heavily protected military installations.
The target was not a civilian city, not a border radar station, but the heart of Israel's most advanced air power.
Nevatim Air Base.
This base is home to Israel's fleet of F-35 stealth fighters, some of the most advanced aircraft ever built.
For years, Nevatim had been considered nearly untouchable, protected by multiple layers of missile defense and some of the most sophisticated surveillance systems in the region.
But tonight, something went terribly wrong.
Several Iranian ballistic missiles reportedly slipped through the defense shield.
And seconds later, massive fireballs lit up the desert sky as explosions ripped through the airbase.
Fuel depots erupted first, then secondary blasts began tearing through aircraft shelters and military housing areas.
According to early battlefield assessments circulating through intelligence channels, the attack was devastating.
Reports now claim that more than 200 Israeli soldiers were killed in the initial wave alone.
If these numbers are confirmed, this would instantly become one of the deadliest single military strikes in Israeli history.
And it raises a terrifying question that analysts across Washington, Tel Aviv, and Tehran are now asking, how did Iranian missiles manage to hit one of Israel's most secure air bases?
Before we break down what may have happened tonight, make sure you subscribe to John OG Times so you don't miss the next updates as the situation continues to unfold.
Because if these reports are accurate, we may be witnessing the beginning of a much larger regional escalation.
Nevatim Air Base is not just another military base.
It represents Israel's long-term strategy to maintain air superiority across the Middle East.
The base hosts Israel's fleet of F-35 Adir stealth fighters, aircraft specifically designed to penetrate advanced air defenses and strike targets deep inside hostile territory.
For years, these jets have been seen as Israel's most powerful deterrent against countries like Iran.
From this base, Israeli pilots can reach almost any strategic target in the region.
And that makes Nevatim one of the most valuable military assets Israel possesses, which is exactly why analysts believe it may have been deliberately chosen as the primary target.
Early intelligence suggests the strike may have involved multiple long-range Iranian missiles launched from different directions simultaneously.
This kind of coordinated launch is designed to overwhelm missile defense systems by forcing them to track and intercept many threats at once.
Even the best defense systems can struggle under that kind of pressure.
And if just a few missiles slip through, the consequences can be catastrophic.
Satellite imagery from the first hour after the strike reportedly shows several large burn zones across the airbase.
These marks suggest direct hits on critical infrastructure.
Aircraft hangars appear to be among the structures that were damaged.
And, if confirmed, that could mean some of Israel's most advanced fighter jets were destroyed before they even had a chance to take off.
The Israeli military has not yet released a full statement confirming the scale of the damage, but emergency response teams were seen rushing toward the base within minutes of the explosions.
Fire crews, medical helicopters, and military convoys began flooding into the area.
Local hospitals were suddenly placed on emergency alert.
What makes this situation even more alarming is the timing.
The strike reportedly happened during a shift change when many personnel were concentrated in barracks and operation centers.
If that detail is accurate, it could explain why the casualty numbers are so shockingly high.
And it may also suggest that whoever planned the strike had detailed intelligence about activity patterns at the base.
That raises another disturbing possibility.
Was this attack simply a missile strike?
Or was it part of a much larger, carefully coordinated operation?
Because military analysts are already pointing to something unusual about the timing of the launches.
Several radar systems reportedly detected the missiles only seconds before impact.
That could mean they followed a highly optimized flight path designed to avoid early detection.
Or it could suggest the use of newer missile technology that travels faster and lower than previous generations.
Either way, it appears the attackers knew exactly what they were doing.
And now the region is bracing for what happens next.
Because when a military installation of this importance is hit this hard, retaliation is almost inevitable.
And the next move could determine whether this crisis stays limited or explodes into something far bigger.
Yeah, let's have your thoughts, Joachim.
Your thoughts initially.
Let's assume the report is accurate, even though, of course, it may turn out to be false in certain details.
Joachim, your thoughts.
No, Joachim?
Brian.
Go right ahead, Ryan.
Brian.
Well, in this particular segment, I'd go back to exactly what I was just saying.
I don't think I need to expound on it very much anymore.
If it's accurate, then there's going to be trouble.
How deep will the trouble go and how quickly will it affect us?
I don't know.
It really comes down to a simple question.
It's not who's going to win this war.
It's how soon will it escalate with NATO involvement, with Hezbollah involvement, with others?
That really comes down to the question: will Iran bluff?
Will Iran be willing to allow themselves to be taken out?
Will Russia and China join the war?
These are all things that could very well happen if that straits of Hormuz problem isn't addressed rather quickly.
So somebody's going to have to give in this situation.
And I seriously doubt it's a military-industrial complex that doesn't listen to anybody anytime, anywhere.
That's where the escalation is going to take place.
So you just got to be paying attention to who all's joining.
How does Europe take their positioning on this?
Well, the military-industrial complex is behind the curve.
They fall him behind in production.
Trump had him in to chew him out, try to get him to ramp up.
It's too little, too late.
Colonel McGregor has been saying forever, we're going to run out of missiles before Iran runs out of missiles.
That's 100% accurate.
Joachim, assuming this report is correct in its essentials, perhaps mistaken in a few details, what is your assessment?
Well, from the beginning, we've known that this is going to be a war of attrition, that it's a long war that Iran has been preparing for for 40 years nonstop.
And they got the brains and the technology to put it together.
They've got all these underground launchers and missiles galore more than any, certainly any United States and Israel put together.
So, yeah, they're going to be able to, you know, wear down the enemy of the United States and Israel.
And Israel is going to, you know, what we have to be concerned about is Israel figuring, well, we're going to lose this war.
So what the hell?
Let's take them out with their nuclear power, their Samsung option that they held.
It's the only country on earth where they haven't basically complied with the nuclear code that you don't do that.
You don't end the world with nuclear Holocaust.
But unfortunately, Israel has no sense of morality whatsoever.
It's not built into their DNA, I don't think.
And therefore, if they think they're existentially going to be no longer a nation, I have no doubt as long as maniacs like Netanyahu are in power, they're going to push that nuke button.
And from there, we don't know what the outcome will be.
We dread that it could be all of humanity and the life form on the earth.
It could end up a dead planet.
So, I mean, this is a very real concern now.
I don't think we, in our lifetime, have ever been closer to the annihilation of life as we know it.
Never in all of our life.
We're that hanging in the balance close.
So, yeah, it's a scary time in history.
It's a time to get right with God, in my personal view, and just prepare for the worst and hope for the best and pray to God for some kind of intervention to save the humanity and our planet, because we're on the edge right now.
I mean, this is the bottom line that we're basing it on the real world events occurring as we speak.
And we don't know where it's going.
So, yeah, it's kind of a wild ride that we don't know where it will end up.
And it seems to me that if Israel were to use nukes on Iran, Iran could hit them at Damon.
And because Israel is only the size of New Jersey, I think it would probably contaminate half of Israel to be uninhabitable for the next 200 years.
Brian, your thoughts about nukes in the whole mix.
There's been chatter about this since the 70s.
I'm not worried about the nukes.
I felt like the nukes back in the 50s were all part of a compliance plan that was designed to get cultural assimilation among the people so that the war machine could spend more and more money.
So I don't pay too much attention to propaganda.
I understand that there are some big weapons out there, but America hasn't been struck on its heartland ever.
And I seriously doubt it's going to happen at this point in time.
And I'm not worried about it.
I think the bigger question is: what happens to the economy rather than whether or not we're really at risk of being struck by a nuclear bomb right now?
But on the other hand, you know, there's a lot going on with Cuba.
There's a lot going on with Greenland.
There's a lot going on with Mexico.
So it's a very, very busy world right now.
And when things get busy and things get chaotic, it's very easy for things to drift out of control when they're not paid attention to.
Oh, I couldn't agree more.
It's all rather bizarre.
Meanwhile, Israel has hit refineries in Iran and it's led to black rain coming down, intentional chemical warfare, toxic black rain in Tehran after U.S.-Israel bomb oil facilities.
The consequence of this environmental and humanitarian catastrophe will not be confined within Iran's borders.
These strikes constitute war crimes, says spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
In the wake of infernos unleashed across portions of Tehran the night before, the people of Iran's capital woke up Sunday to the hideous sight of ominous gray clouds above, choking levels of smoke, and black raindrops full of toxic oil falling across the city.
Craig described scenes of Arbagaden and characterized the bombings that destruction aid triggered as the latest crimes committed by the U.S. and Israel since they launched their unprovoked and illegal assault on the Middle East nation last week.
Iranian official residents stay indoors to avoid the health impact of the air quality following Israel's intentional bombing of several oil storage and processing facilities in the city on Saturday.
On top of everything else, Israel and the U.S. have unleashed an environmental disaster in Tehran, said Assad Rod, a fellow at the Arab Center in Washington, D.C. How many ways can they show you that they have no regard for a human life?
An Environmental Disaster in Tehran00:00:56
And I dare say that's exactly what's on display here.
Dawn, take us out.
Okay, I guess so.
I'll take it open aside here.
This is March the 9th, 2026.
And boy, what a week we're having here starting off.
I mean, this might be the last week.
Who knows?
It could be a disaster.
Boy, oh boy, what I got to show out to everybody at your candy folks.
There's so many different websites out there that need to have this material published on it.
And that can only do so much.
So thank you so much for watching this first hour of Truth versus Bellat News Incorporated.
And come on back for the second hour.
We'll love to have you and appreciate your compliments and please share.
