=== Truth vs News Incorporated (04:51) ===

[00:00:00]  Come folks, the truth versus news incorporated.
[00:00:04]  Yes, truth vs. News Incorporated on March 16th, 2026, the day before St. Patty's Day, and good luck things.
[00:00:13]  And we've had some bad luck and heavy news here in March.
[00:00:18]  I come to you slipping from Jim's desk.
[00:00:21]  He is one in charge of Jim Petsler.
[00:00:25]  I'm Donald Reiner host, but Jim has been doing this for decades and is one of those LLCs.
[00:00:35]  He's tireless and bringing forth the best in the news.
[00:00:38]  And then we also have supporting him Brian Davidson out of Texas, who's a great private investigator and lucky McGopi and a fantastic letter out of Bali.
[00:00:48]  And so, Jim, I guess we just got to start off with crisis.
[00:00:56]  We got a crisis to start to show up.
[00:01:00]  Well, yep, that's the mounting crisis of Operation F up, as Russ Winter refers to it, and I think he's got it right.
[00:01:10]  Everything is going wrong.
[00:01:13]  We got a Marine vet talking about them sending an expeditionary force and what it could do.
[00:01:18]  It could be useful to capture the island.
[00:01:21]  Meanwhile, we got the U.S. run out of Baghdad Green Zone.
[00:01:26]  That's maybe the largest military fortress we ever built abroad.
[00:01:31]  So we're being run out of there.
[00:01:33]  That's very telling.
[00:01:35]  We have all kinds of bombing taking place, and none of it is good for Israel or the United States.
[00:01:41]  Iran is just triumphing.
[00:01:43]  There's a very nice image of America two weeks into fighting after Iran is now three.
[00:01:49]  We are having our feathers plot.
[00:01:53]  No doubt about it.
[00:01:55]  Meanwhile, we have a report of Demona being hit, and there's a second report about it.
[00:02:01]  So I believe this is correct.
[00:02:03]  The place that was never supposed to be touched got hit.
[00:02:07]  Israel's most guarded secret, hidden deep in the desert, protected by layers of defense the world has never seen, was struck.
[00:02:14]  Russian intelligence is now saying Iranian forces didn't just attack Israel.
[00:02:19]  They went straight for the heart.
[00:02:20]  The Demona nuclear facility, where Israel's most sensitive weapons research lives.
[00:02:25]  Scientists, military personnel, casualties reported.
[00:02:29]  And the world?
[00:02:30]  The world just went silent.
[00:02:31]  For decades, the Negev Desert kept a secret.
[00:02:34]  Deep within its dusty, sun-scorched landscape, buried beneath layers of concrete, surveillance, and silence, sat a facility that Israel never officially admitted existed, the Demona Nuclear Research Center.
[00:02:45]  A place so sensitive, so strategically critical, that Israeli officials have maintained a policy of deliberate ambiguity about it for over 60 years.
[00:02:53]  No confirmation, no denial, just silence.
[00:02:56]  And the world largely accepted that silence.
[00:02:59]  Because the unspoken understanding among global powers was clear, Demona was untouchable.
[00:03:04]  Then came the strike.
[00:03:05]  According to emerging reports from Russian intelligence sources, Iranian forces carried out a targeted attack on the Demona facility.
[00:03:12]  The details are still being pieced together, but what is already confirmed is deeply alarming.
[00:03:17]  Significant casualties among Israeli scientists and military personnel have been reported.
[00:03:21]  Read that again, slowly.
[00:03:22]  Not soldiers on a battlefield.
[00:03:24]  Not a military convoy on an open road.
[00:03:26]  Scientists.
[00:03:27]  The people who hold the most sensitive nuclear knowledge in the entire Middle East were struck inside the facility they were told was impenetrable.
[00:03:36]  This is not a border skirmish.
[00:03:38]  This is not a drone flying over empty desert.
[00:03:40]  This is a direct strike at the brain of Israel's most classified defense infrastructure.
[00:03:44]  And the world has not fully processed what that means yet.
[00:03:51]  Yeah.
[00:03:51]  Well, there's more to it, but that gives us the idea.
[00:03:55]  Meanwhile, the truth seeker, the paper tiger exposed, Mike Adams, very nice piece.
[00:04:10]  He begins.
[00:04:14]  In the early hours of Feb 286, the world witnessed not the flexing of American muscle, but the fatal cracking of its foundational promise.
[00:04:25]  President Donald Trump, in concert with Israel, launched Operation Epic Fury, massive air campaign against Iran that administrative officials remain as a decisive, necessary stroke.
[00:04:38]  The reality, however, is a strategic catastrophe unfolding in real time.
[00:04:46]  This war was lost before the first missile was fired.

=== The Fatal Cracking of Promise (15:25) ===

[00:04:51]  The conflict has ripped away the curtain, exposing the U.S. military and security apparatus that is overextended, technologically unmatched, and fundamentally corrupt.
[00:05:02]  The core promise of American power, protection for its allies in exchange for allegiance, specifically to protect the Gulf states if they would do trading only in American dollars, has been irrevocably shattered.
[00:05:22]  The emperor has no clothes, and the world is watching.
[00:05:26]  The window for diplomatic solutions is closed.
[00:05:30]  What remains is the grim reckoning of a superpower's collapse.
[00:05:36]  And Patrick Hamming, how the U.S. Empire is losing the world.
[00:05:45]  this guy is very good to the hilt and so it's And there's a reason for that, by the way, is Trump is the first U.S. president to basically raid the Senate and Congress for cabinet positions.
[00:06:06]  No one ever does that in American politics.
[00:06:08]  Why?
[00:06:09]  Because you threaten those safe seats.
[00:06:12]  You could lose your majority if you're not careful.
[00:06:15]  If you can't replace them with Republicans in this case, that's quite a risky maneuver to pull Elise Stefanik as U.N. ambassador.
[00:06:24]  That was his first nominee.
[00:06:26]  And of course, she was going to lose her seat.
[00:06:27]  So immediately they withdrew that.
[00:06:30]  She's running for governor now.
[00:06:31]  But all these people, Matt Gates, Mike Waltz, Marco Rubio, and so why is that?
[00:06:39]  Because they were all groomed from the beginning by the Israeli lobby.
[00:06:44]  They had them.
[00:06:45]  Tulsi Gabbard as well was also groomed early.
[00:06:48]  New Mary Madelson from the beginning of her political career.
[00:06:52]  So Democrats and Republicans.
[00:06:54]  So that influence is now, that tail has outgrown the dog.
[00:06:59]  It is a massive tail.
[00:07:01]  And that tail is now controlling U.S. foreign policy decision-making.
[00:07:05]  And the U.S. cannot make a move under this administration.
[00:07:08]  And I think the Biden administration as well.
[00:07:10]  But they can't make a move without the okay of Benjamin Netanyahu's office effectively.
[00:07:18]  That lobby answers effectively to Netanyahu's office.
[00:07:23]  So think about that.
[00:07:24]  Look at all the irrational things and the crazy things that we have witnessed over the last 12 months.
[00:07:29]  Why is that?
[00:07:30]  Because the U.S. and this president is not sovereign.
[00:07:33]  The executive branch is not sovereign.
[00:07:35]  And effectively, that means the United States is not in control of its own foreign policy.
[00:07:40]  Is that extraordinary?
[00:07:42]  So it seems as though what was sort of the unsaid, if you like, truth about American democracy is now becoming naked.
[00:07:52]  It's becoming a naked reality.
[00:07:54]  Miriam Adelson was in the Knesset with Donald Trump, I recall, not so long ago.
[00:07:59]  And they were actually openly celebrating the fact that she bankrolls him and bankrolls Israel as well.
[00:08:06]  So this oligarchical power, this sort of Zionist oligarchical power, is now manifesting itself confidently.
[00:08:13]  Some people call it Pax Judaica, and they want to play that word game between Pax Judaica, Pax Americana.
[00:08:20]  And you've also hinted, Pax Britannica hasn't died off either, because the Anglo-American link combined with the Zionist link is now, I think, absolutely clearly established.
[00:08:33]  It's still not there within the general public's knowledge.
[00:08:37]  I think those who are active politically and aware and do their homework, they see it very clearly.
[00:08:44]  It's not necessarily translated down to the ordinary public, although the MAGA movement within America is making noises about how Trump has reneged on a lot of his promises.
[00:08:55]  No war president, you know, putting America first.
[00:08:58]  He seems to be putting Israel first most of the time.
[00:09:01]  So are these kind of fissures and this open, this naked sort of arrogance in a way, which is emerging within the Zionist movement?
[00:09:09]  Do you think that's wise for them?
[00:09:11]  I mean, they were doing pretty well controlling the U.S. behind the scenes, quite covertly, and now they don't seem to be so covert.
[00:09:17]  They seem to be born to be overt.
[00:09:19]  Well, the Trump administration, the Trump White House, no secret.
[00:09:24]  This is the most pro-Israeli presidency in U.S. history.
[00:09:30]  And in his first term, relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli dominion over the West Bank, Israeli dominion over the Golan Heights, basically any of the aforementioned UN resolutions on Palestine completely discarded.
[00:09:52]  So Israel got everything they wanted from Trump in the first term, except for a war in Iran.
[00:10:01]  Didn't quite get that, but it came very close.
[00:10:04]  They managed to push Trump into a corner to assassinate Qasem Suleimani and Abu Mahdi Mohendez as well.
[00:10:13]  People forget.
[00:10:14]  Yes, and that was a big move, really, because it could have triggered a much bigger response from Iran.
[00:10:20]  But they exercised strategic patience, I think, is what they call it.
[00:10:23]  It was a massive response.
[00:10:25]  Imagine striking a U.S. military base in Iraq, flattening a U.S. base.
[00:10:30]  That's probably the first time that happened, I think.
[00:10:32]  After shooting down a U.S. Reaper drone or a Global Hawk.
[00:10:37]  And no response, no retaliation back from the United States, just quiet from the media, quiet from the Trump administration, because they didn't know how to respond.
[00:10:45]  They weren't ready for that.
[00:10:46]  So the U.S. defense establishment has taken four years to evaluate strategically how they would go about a conventional war against Iran, what that would look like in conjunction with the Israelis.
[00:11:01]  And obviously, we're not talking about nuclear weapons yet, but that's probably in the conversation as well.
[00:11:08]  But Suleimani, you're talking about the potential Arab parent as supreme leader in Iran.
[00:11:17]  This is no trivial military target.
[00:11:23]  It's much bigger than that.
[00:11:25]  This was a decapitation strike for the future leadership of the Islamic Party.
[00:11:30]  Yeah, they did it with Ayath al-Raisi, who was the actual unofficially promoted individual who could have been the head of the Valayati Fakiya as supreme leader.
[00:11:40]  He was, of course, president, but that helicopter that went down seems mighty suspicious here.
[00:11:46]  That was suspicious.
[00:11:47]  Very suspicious.
[00:11:48]  So second Trump term in the last 12 months.
[00:11:52]  Now we've seen the end game.
[00:11:53]  The end game is very clear.
[00:11:54]  I think this is why you're seeing the confidence from the Zionist lobby and the Warhawks.
[00:12:01]  They're circling.
[00:12:02]  They're banging for blood right now because they see their opportunity because the end game in Gaza is now very clear.
[00:12:11]  Everybody sees the end game.
[00:12:13]  We've seen the slideshow from Jared Kushner about Dubai on the Med.
[00:12:17]  Yes.
[00:12:18]  And they're saying, oh, this is going to be great for the residents of Gaza.
[00:12:22]  He didn't say Palestinians once in his great property development presentation.
[00:12:28]  And so, what does that tell you?
[00:12:29]  That's a hint that they don't plan to have them around in the future.
[00:12:34]  So that whole idea of remodeling Gaza is predicated on the ethnic cleansing and, well, whoever's surviving, potentially killed or driven out.
[00:12:46]  He's talking about worker housing, that somehow they'll find enough Palestinians that will want to work as wage slaves.
[00:12:53]  I mean, if you know how Dubai is built and you see some of the worker housing in Dubai, modern day slavery, Bengali, Sri Lankan workers, and so forth.
[00:13:04]  But I do not see Palestinians participating in that project.
[00:13:10]  Yeah, indeed, they're not going to participate in the project, but it's not clear even the Israelis are going to participate in the project because Israel is being decimated.
[00:13:21]  Joachim, your thoughts, Myron.
[00:13:25]  Yeah, the U.S. Empire being in the hands totally of Israel.
[00:13:31]  Everything is for the Greater Israel Project, including, of course, war after war after war.
[00:13:39]  And here we are again.
[00:13:41]  It just doesn't stop.
[00:13:45]  Yeah, I mean, you look at Congress and pretty much APAC owns them, along with, of course, the Epstein files.
[00:13:56]  You know, we have a lot of politicians that partook.
[00:14:01]  And so they're all tainted and controlled by Israel as well, including, of course, nobody more than our own president.
[00:14:12]  So, yeah, it's pretty much the United States of Israel.
[00:14:17]  That's what it is.
[00:14:19]  Except it's disunited like never before.
[00:14:23]  Maybe since like the Civil War, actually.
[00:14:27]  So yeah, it's a terrible situation.
[00:14:31]  The paper tiger, yes, I use this term in all my articles now because it fits perfectly that we have a big bark in Donald Trump, the belligerent asshole, trying to bark orders to the world as the dictator.
[00:14:50]  But he doesn't have the military or this political strength to back up all his barking and belligerent orders for the rest of the world.
[00:15:03]  And he's being shown for what?
[00:15:07]  Now it's what, 14 months now in the position of president?
[00:15:13]  He's shown the world that he basically turns on allies all the time.
[00:15:21]  He changes course every other minute.
[00:15:25]  There's nothing consistent.
[00:15:27]  And then all his military interventions for the peace president, he never has any kind of constructive, real backup plan, a real strategic objective to anything the guy does.
[00:15:43]  You know, it's all rhetoric, you know, just bellicose arrogance to the rest of the world.
[00:15:52]  And the rest of the world is now so fed up with him.
[00:15:56]  I mean, his actions alone have made the rest of the world see the United States as a pariah, along with, of course, Israel.
[00:16:09]  And that's never been this bad in the history of America.
[00:16:14]  It's never been this bad, where the whole world joins in and basically hating the United States and, of course, Israel, the controller.
[00:16:26]  The bottom line, though, and I say it in everything I do, is the city of London, as the Rothschilds were the founders of Israel.
[00:16:35]  So we have to always think in terms of whatever Israel and the United States does and do, it's always pretty much dictated by the real controllers of this earth and have been for centuries.
[00:16:53]  So yeah, the mounting crisis gets worse every day.
[00:17:01]  It's going nowhere.
[00:17:03]  And, you know, I think Trump is actually quietly, secretly trying to grasp some kind of exit ramp, but he hasn't been able to land anything.
[00:17:19]  And the bottom line, Iran's this time, unlike the last time last June, they're going all the way.
[00:17:29]  This war is going to end on their terms this time, not on America.
[00:17:36]  You know, Trump proclaiming victory, you know, and then we pull out, you know, like last June.
[00:17:43]  It's not going to end that way.
[00:17:45]  The American empire is being decimated as we speak.
[00:17:50]  And that's the bottom line to this whole thing.
[00:17:53]  Brian.
[00:17:57]  Well, as with everything in the news media, you've got conflicting reports about damage, lots of escalating threats about the Straits of Hormuz, obviously calls for more warships and more action and even troops on the ground.
[00:18:15]  But that's if you listen to the news.
[00:18:18]  The news narrative is, of course, quite simple and straightforward.
[00:18:22]  Iran's the aggressor.
[00:18:24]  The war is necessary and the United States must escalate, which is just simply a program used to assimilate us to the culture that demands a massive war machine.
[00:18:39]  And so I think if we were to really break this down and get under the hood here, we got to ask ourselves who benefits.
[00:18:46]  Well, in this case, the benefit payload is the ability to continue to use the U.S. dollar and OPEC as the primary currency without BRICS or any other international organization downgrading the currency.
[00:19:05]  And of course, if you've got 20% of the oil and other resources going through the Straits of Hormuz, and it's so important, now you begin to see why the seeming crusade to support Israel isn't necessarily about their ridiculous religious views.
[00:19:27]  It's more about our base in the Middle East to Control the Straits of Hormuz and make sure that United States hegemony continues to be the dominant concept worldwide.
[00:19:45]  This feels like old Kissinger doctrine.
[00:19:47]  And because you've got old Kissinger doctrine and you've got information flow that is almost running in 50s style fashion right now with very little independent verification and the same old news sources putting out the same propaganda and garbage, you've got to ask yourself if every war begins with a narrative campaign, then of course we've always been getting the prep work first.

=== Old Kissinger Doctrine Returns (03:20) ===

[00:20:17]  But just to put a little context on it, don't forget the Gulf of Tonkin.
[00:20:23]  Don't forget Iraq weapons of mass destruction.
[00:20:28]  Don't forget every other sheet of wool that they've used to pull over our eyes to get us to support these continuing efforts globally to assert ourselves.
[00:20:42]  And I just want to also encourage you to don't necessarily buy into the narrative that we're partners with Israel because of their religious perspectives, which obviously are very wrong.
[00:20:56]  But it's more of a, we need a base in the Middle East to protect our hegemony.
[00:21:03]  And by the way, I think you can go all the way back to the Balfour Declaration to see that influence continuing to play out.
[00:21:13]  Why would they have made the Balfour Declaration, which ultimately resulted in 1948, if they didn't think that Western influence was going to continue to wane away in the Middle East and they thought that they needed the base and this dispensationalism, religious cover was the right platform to establish the base on.
[00:21:36]  So there's a lot going on here and who knows what's true, whether or not Iran is going to absolutely smoke us.
[00:21:43]  I tell you what, I've been super impressed with their tactics.
[00:21:49]  These balsa wood drones packed with explosives that drop that show up on radar like a bird are brilliant.
[00:21:56]  It looks like they've been striking at the heart of Israel, causing mass fear and panic and a mass exodus.
[00:22:03]  But of course, just like Israel normally does, they make sure to lock everybody down behind the walls, make sure nobody can escape.
[00:22:10]  So they keep United Front, which is also known as a Masada complex.
[00:22:16]  It is known as the Masada complex because the Israelis' last stand included the suicide pact.
[00:22:24]  This is, I think, in 8070.
[00:22:26]  It included a suicide pact that says if we don't get together and win this as a unit, we go ahead and kill every single one of us, or we all choose to die on this hill either together or alone, so that there's nobody else that can defect from the unity.
[00:22:45]  So they have Masada complex.
[00:22:47]  They have another couple other doctrines.
[00:22:50]  One of them is that they'll shoot an Israeli soldier that's being taken captive so he doesn't talk to protect the whole.
[00:23:03]  These people are psychopaths.
[00:23:07]  And if they lose the war, they have the Samsung option.
[00:23:11]  Yeah, the Samson option.
[00:23:14]  There you go.
[00:23:16]  Which, of course, would entail decimating Western Europe and maybe most of the rest of the world.
[00:23:23]  Senior Trump advisor urges U.S. to declare victory and get out.
[00:23:27]  This is the only sensible report I've seen from anyone associated with the administration.
[00:23:34]  Listen to this guy and how much sense he makes.

=== Escalation and the Samson Option (14:11) ===

[00:23:37]  Look, we've degraded Iranian capabilities massively.
[00:23:40]  Their army, navy, air force all been destroyed.
[00:23:44]  This is a good time to declare victory and get out.
[00:23:47]  And that is clearly what the markets would like to see.
[00:23:50]  You are seeing, however, a faction of people.
[00:23:54]  I'd say largely, but not exclusively in the Republican Party, who want to escalate the war and who are calling for things like ground troops or regime change, or they simply want the pounding of Iran to just keep going on and on.
[00:24:08]  I saw an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal to that effect that we shouldn't try and find it off-ramp.
[00:24:13]  We should just keep going with this.
[00:24:15]  And I just want to lay out, I think, some of the risks of what an escalatory approach could entail.
[00:24:22]  So first of all, we're all seeing that the Straits of Hormuz are closed right now.
[00:24:27]  We don't want that to persist longer than it has to.
[00:24:31]  But there are actually worse outcomes than that.
[00:24:34]  So if the Iranians get hit, if their oil and gas infrastructure gets hit, they've already said they're going to engage in tit-for-tat retaliation against the Gulf states.
[00:24:45]  And we saw there was recently the Iranians blew up this giant oil depot in Oman.
[00:24:50]  You saw some of those images.
[00:24:52]  They could continue to target the oil and gas infrastructure across the Gulf states.
[00:24:58]  And if that happens, it won't really matter if the straits get reopened because you won't be able to restart oil and gas production in the Middle East.
[00:25:05]  So that would be, I think, a much worse outcome that could result from escalation.
[00:25:11]  Furthermore, there's an even worse, I think, scenario from there, which is the region is very dependent on desalination plants.
[00:25:18]  I think something like 70% of Riyadh gets their water from desalination.
[00:25:23]  I think it's something like 100 million people on the Arabian Peninsula that get their water from desal.
[00:25:28]  I mean, it's basically a desert, right?
[00:25:31]  And those desal plants are soft targets.
[00:25:33]  You already saw there was, I think there was one desal plant in Iran that got hit, and then it caused Iran again, tit-for-tat, to hit a desal plant.
[00:25:41]  I think it was in Kuwait.
[00:25:42]  I could be off about that.
[00:25:43]  But in any event, if you see that type of destruction continue, you could literally render the Gulf almost uninhabitable.
[00:25:52]  I mean, you're just not going to have enough water for 100 million people, and human beings just cannot survive very long without water.
[00:25:58]  So that would be a truly catastrophic scenario.
[00:26:01]  And we're talking about destroying the Gulf states economically and then also from a humanitarian perspective.
[00:26:08]  So I think we have to take things like this into account when you hear people preaching for or advocating for escalation.
[00:26:14]  You also have to, I think, consider the impacts on Israel.
[00:26:18]  I mean, it's hard to know exactly how much damage Israel is taking right now.
[00:26:22]  There's a social media blackout.
[00:26:24]  But what you're starting to hear trickle out is that Israel is getting hit harder than they've ever been hit before in their history.
[00:26:30]  And we're only two weeks into this.
[00:26:32]  If this war continues for weeks or months, then Israel could just be destroyed or very large parts of it.
[00:26:39]  Now, I think Israel is a harder target than the Gulf states.
[00:26:43]  Their infrastructure is more hardened.
[00:26:45]  Also, they're further away.
[00:26:47]  The Gulf states are vulnerable to drones and short-range missiles, whereas Israel is mainly vulnerable to long-range missiles.
[00:26:54]  Nonetheless, at some point, their air defenses could become exhausted if it hasn't happened already and Israel could get seriously destroyed.
[00:27:02]  And then you have to worry about Israel escalating the war by contemplating using a nuclear weapon, which would truly be catastrophic.
[00:27:10]  So there's a lot of scenarios here, a lot of really frightening scenarios about where escalation could lead.
[00:27:19]  And even though the United States is a much more powerful country than Iran, they essentially have a dead man's switch over the economic fate of the Gulf states and even potentially beyond that, you know, the habitability of some of these countries.
[00:27:34]  So I do tend to think that this is a good time to declare victory.
[00:27:38]  I think, Brad, you're right that the president has never said that democracy promotion is one of his objectives.
[00:27:44]  Yes, JKAL, obviously everyone would welcome if the people rose up and chose a new regime, but that's not something that we've said we have to accomplish.
[00:27:54]  And this would be a really good time to take stock of where we are and try, I think, to seek an off-ramp.
[00:28:00]  And look, if escalation doesn't lead anywhere good, then you have to think about, well, how do you de-escalate?
[00:28:06]  And de-escalation, I think, involves reaching some sort of ceasefire agreement or some sort of negotiated settlement with Iran.
[00:28:14]  And we can get.
[00:28:16]  I think he is very sensible.
[00:28:20]  Vance has been distancing himself from the war.
[00:28:22]  It's getting more conspicuous.
[00:28:25]  Pete Hegseth needed to be fired immediately after the slaughter of the 150 Iranian schoolgirls.
[00:28:32]  And bear in mind, his explanation that was an inherent Iranian missile is preposterous for the following reason.
[00:28:41]  This was a first strike.
[00:28:43]  Iran didn't have any missiles up yet.
[00:28:45]  It had to be an American.
[00:28:47]  It was a tomahawk.
[00:28:49]  Turns out there were four hits before a fifth missile, which was circulating, that had this thermobaric capacity.
[00:28:58]  So when it hit, it spent the fuel through the atmosphere and went off.
[00:29:02]  And those little girls were burned to crisp.
[00:29:06]  They could only be identified by their backpacks.
[00:29:09]  It was grotesque.
[00:29:11]  And meanwhile, in the past, Hegset had got rid of the special unit at the Pentagon that verified the targets were not civilian.
[00:29:20]  He got rid of it.
[00:29:22]  So it's all AI targeting and it was irresponsible.
[00:29:26]  He came up with an absurd theory to explain it away.
[00:29:29]  Deserves to be fired.
[00:29:31]  Meanwhile, Scott Ritter makes the point.
[00:29:34]  The war won't end until Iran says it ends.
[00:29:38]  Too bad.
[00:29:38]  So sad.
[00:29:39]  Too bad.
[00:29:39]  You shouldn't have started, dude.
[00:29:40]  Let's remind it.
[00:29:41]  You, Israel, carried out the surprise attack against Iran.
[00:29:46]  This was a war of choice.
[00:29:48]  You didn't need to do this.
[00:29:49]  You opted into this.
[00:29:50]  Now Iran has said, we're not finished till you're done.
[00:29:53]  So Israel doesn't get an off-ramp.
[00:29:56]  And the choice isn't with Donald Trump.
[00:29:58]  What hubris?
[00:29:58]  What arrogance?
[00:29:59]  The choice is with Iran.
[00:30:01]  This war finishes when Iran says it's done, and Iran won't say it's done until the United States is evicted from the Middle East and Israel is destroyed.
[00:30:09]  Welcome to the reality, Israel.
[00:30:11]  You created this.
[00:30:11]  Did you see the IRGC's new targeting guidance?
[00:30:19]  Now that they've eliminated the air defense capability, and we saw that last night, Israel has no air defense capability, none whatsoever.
[00:30:26]  Iran will only fire missiles with a one-ton warhead, meaning that the day of coming in with small warheads is over.
[00:30:34]  Israel is now ready to get the find-out aspect of the full-round equation.
[00:30:40]  And all other nations that want to play this game will do as well.
[00:30:43]  So again, to the United Arab Emirates, please don't be stupid because you will be taken off the map.
[00:30:50]  The same thing with Kuwait, Saudi Arabia.
[00:30:52]  Azerbaijan needs to understand that as well.
[00:30:55]  Iran's not playing around.
[00:30:57]  They have missiles, thousands of missiles that they haven't used yet.
[00:31:02]  New missiles, hypersonic missiles with huge warheads.
[00:31:06]  Very accurate.
[00:31:08]  Remember when we talked about how the Israeli, they're down to 12 launchers.
[00:31:12]  Well, I think that's been proven to be a lie because Iran is salvoing far more than 12 missiles at a time now against the Iranians have a plan.
[00:31:22]  They have a game plan.
[00:31:23]  Everything's going according to their plan.
[00:31:25]  They're collapsing the global economy as we speak.
[00:31:29]  Again, that's the fool-around aspect of it.
[00:31:32]  You're going to find out.
[00:31:34]  Oil through the roof.
[00:31:36]  And if this continues, there won't be oil to be produced in the Middle East because if Israel keeps, and this is, again, a message to those people in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and elsewhere, if you sit back and do nothing while Israel strikes energy production facilities inside Iran, understand you will pay the price.
[00:31:55]  You will be destroyed.
[00:31:56]  And there's nothing you can do to stop it.
[00:31:59]  Your air defenses don't work either.
[00:32:01]  And you're about ready to get hit with one ton plus warheads.
[00:32:06]  The level of destruction will be mind-boggling.
[00:32:09]  So I just wish people would stop pretending that Israel and the United States have a vote anymore.
[00:32:16]  They created this problem.
[00:32:17]  They've lost this war.
[00:32:19]  They don't get to dictate the outcome other than acknowledging their defeat and doing what Iran demands.
[00:32:25]  And in the case of the United States, that's get the hell out of the Middle East.
[00:32:29]  Yeah, get the hell out of the Middle East.
[00:32:31]  He's got him right.
[00:32:33]  Joaquim, your thoughts.
[00:32:36]  Yeah, Scott really tells it like it is.
[00:32:41]  Yeah, I mean, the days of empire around the world, especially in the Middle East, are over.
[00:32:49]  It's done.
[00:32:51]  In the last two weeks, it's been proven America is no longer really an empire to protect all its little vassal states like the Gulf states.
[00:33:03]  Here, the Gulf states have paid trillions of dollars to America over the many years to be under its security architecture that has failed miserably because Iran has completely wiped it out.
[00:33:21]  These Gulf states are all totally, totally at the mercy now of what Iran will do.
[00:33:29]  So their oil infrastructure, once that goes and they're going after the desalination plants, there's no way that these states will survive.
[00:33:42]  So obviously putting all their eggs in the basket of Empire America has not been a good choice for them.
[00:33:51]  And, you know, obviously Trump, you know, he's even taken a bad air defense system from South Korea.
[00:34:00]  He's so desperate trying to protect his baby that controls him through blackmail, Israel, that, you know, they're moving these systems around now.
[00:34:12]  And it's not going to do any good.
[00:34:15]  You know, Iran has been preparing for this for over 40 years.
[00:34:22]  They knew that the United States and Israel would be the aggressor in making war against Iran.
[00:34:30]  It's been very plain for a long, long, long time.
[00:34:35]  They were going after all the other ones, you know, the old Wesley Clark generals list of the nations to take down within five years.
[00:34:45]  And they took everybody else down, but the last one on the list, the number seven, was Iran.
[00:34:52]  And it ain't going to happen.
[00:34:54]  Iran is the regional power of the Middle East, not Israel, not America.
[00:35:02]  It's Iran.
[00:35:03]  And so we're seeing a major power shift in the world now because the rest of the states, and I'm talking particularly the global south state majority of all nations in this world, they're all looking at this and seeing, yes, the naked emperor has lost its clothes and lost its might on this earth.
[00:35:30]  And, you know, it's a disgraceful humiliation for Trump and America.
[00:35:37]  But to me, it's a good thing.
[00:35:40]  It's a good thing that the power of America, because of its evil, evil.
[00:35:48]  I mean, they've been the most warring, destructive nation on this earth ever since it came in.
[00:35:54]  You know, yes, the Constitution and a lot of good things for a while may have been associated with America.
[00:36:02]  But in my lifetime, you know, yeah, when I was young, I went to the academy and thought, yeah, this is my way to serve my wonderful country, the democracy of the world.
[00:36:13]  What a bunch of shit that is.
[00:36:15]  It's all been wasted and now we're hated by the entire world.
[00:36:21]  You know, the America is going down and, you know, it's crashing now.
[00:36:28]  And the banks and everything else, it's all going to hell.
[00:36:32]  The affordability of living in America, you know, it's going to make it harder and harder.
[00:36:40]  The middle class is shrinking or going, going gone very soon.
[00:36:45]  We have an impoverished, lower economic class now that's just going to not even survive, probably.
[00:36:56]  You know, America is turning into a third world country.
[00:37:00]  And it's only because the evil ones in Washington, D.C. take their orders from the city of London that no, in order for them to put in their one world government, they must get rid of America and the West first.
[00:37:17]  And that has been their agenda all along.
[00:37:20]  That's Israel's agenda because they still fantasize and envision themselves as the Jerusalem capital of the world.
[00:37:29]  And who knows, you know, that could possibly even end up the scenario.
[00:37:34]  But yeah, America's days tragically, sadly, are over.
[00:37:39]  Yeah, we still have some power, but we don't have the leadership that's going to take us anywhere to salvage what power we have left.

=== America's Days Are Over (15:40) ===

[00:37:49]  This moron and, you know, totally demented, deranged guy in the White House, he's going down.
[00:37:57]  He's going down.
[00:37:58]  And sadly, Netanyahu is just as deranged and will take us down with a nuclear weapon.
[00:38:06]  That's where it's going now.
[00:38:08]  You know, they're sending 2,500 Marines.
[00:38:12]  They're an expeditionary force.
[00:38:14]  Yes, they're going to land and they're going to try and take the Armouse straight back so that they can open up the cargo ships.
[00:38:25]  It ain't going to happen.
[00:38:27]  It ain't going to happen.
[00:38:28]  It's just going to be one failure after the next.
[00:38:33]  And yeah, Pete Pegg's that moron.
[00:38:36]  I mean, he's just like a, he's like a bad little league coach.
[00:38:41]  You know, that's how he strikes me.
[00:38:43]  You know, there's no real intelligence.
[00:38:45]  It's all raw, raw, go, go, you know, I mean, and that's the, you know, the vassals that Trump has chosen now in his synagogue of Satan administration with all these yes people that are only able to kiss his ass and they can't really even be honest.
[00:39:05]  We touched on Vice President Vance.
[00:39:07]  He was not in favor of this attack on Iran, and he's had to bite his lip and be very careful about what he says to the press over the last few weeks.
[00:39:20]  But yeah, we're seeing the big picture of America as an empire disintegrating right before our eyes.
[00:39:30]  Brian.
[00:39:35]  Well, I guess first I'm going to ask a simple question about this whole scenario.
[00:39:41]  And, you know, we heard from David Sachs, who's a White House advisor, basically saying, you know, if our objectives have been reached, we need to go ahead and get out.
[00:39:51]  We heard from Ritter, he's talking about how dangerous it is to continue the war against such a nasty enemy.
[00:39:59]  And, you know, Ritter, think through Ukraine and what Ritter was saying back then.
[00:40:07]  Think through when we entered when we got into these conflicts in Venezuela and others.
[00:40:16]  I mean, everybody thought that this was going to be the skies falling.
[00:40:19]  It hasn't.
[00:40:20]  But, you know, really, you've got to ask yourself a simple question.
[00:40:23]  What was the objective?
[00:40:26]  So if the goal was just to degrade Iranian capability and send some sort of deterrence signal, then it makes sense to go ahead and get out.
[00:40:39]  But if the objective was actually regime change, long-term containment and strategic control of the region, getting out right now is not going to happen.
[00:40:50]  I would argue that we should have gotten out of Ukraine a long time ago, but we still haven't because it's easier to get involved in a war than it is to get out of a war, especially getting out of a war clean.
[00:41:03]  So the issue isn't whether we should leave.
[00:41:07]  The issue is whether the mission was clearly defined to begin with.
[00:41:12]  And I imagine that this is very similar to the mission of what we did in Ukraine, which is just to weaken, weaken, weaken, but instead it backfired.
[00:41:22]  Well, I guess we didn't learn our lesson.
[00:41:23]  And the same military tale that wags the dog here is just continue to do what they always do.
[00:41:30]  Don't forget, one of the most important objectives is that war always has an economic layer.
[00:41:37]  They're not fought with missiles.
[00:41:41]  They're fought through energy markets, shipping lanes, and other types of economic pressure that you can put it.
[00:41:48]  So the reality is, I don't think this is about Iran regime change at all.
[00:41:54]  This is about Gulf oil supply routes, Straits of Hormuz, and the destinations all over the world that we need to control.
[00:42:06]  If those systems are disrupted, you're just not talking about a regional crisis.
[00:42:11]  You're talking about a global economic shock.
[00:42:15]  And so obviously, you're seeing some pretty interesting reactions from the rest of the market.
[00:42:23]  As for whether or not we have the will, I would just say, look at the test scenario in Ukraine.
[00:42:29]  We can get ourselves in, but we can't get ourselves out.
[00:42:32]  Look at what happened in Afghanistan.
[00:42:34]  We can get ourselves in, but we can't get ourselves out.
[00:42:37]  It's an absolute disaster to continue to go this direction.
[00:42:41]  But just remember, the military-industrial complex supports the machinery of Israel, war, and the U.S. OPEC dollar.
[00:42:51]  And so expected to stay around for a long time.
[00:42:54]  I don't know how much of a choice Trump really has here.
[00:42:57]  You can look at how he's turned 180 degrees from the positions that he ran on.
[00:43:04]  And you can tell that the president really doesn't have as much power as you would think to make decisions about whether going to be involved in this or not.
[00:43:14]  I think Trump's got a gun to his head and he just can't show it.
[00:43:17]  And that gun is a military-industrial complex and apparatus and a Jewish Israel-Hepstein network machine that can pull the trigger at any point in time.
[00:43:28]  And therefore, he's just like a judge that's been compromised.
[00:43:33]  He can't be controlled and he can't make good decisions because he can't act independently.
[00:43:37]  I think Trump is a lot weaker than he appears.
[00:43:42]  Yeah, I think there's a lot to what you're saying there, Brian.
[00:43:46]  I think you are spot on.
[00:43:48]  Meanwhile, Mear Sheimer asked the question: Will Israel nuke Iran if it loses the war?
[00:43:58]  This, of course, really like the $64,000.
[00:44:02]  I think this is a remarkably dangerous situation.
[00:44:06]  If the Israelis lose in Iran, they will be fully aware that they lost.
[00:44:12]  They will be fully aware that they will have enraged the Iranian body populace, right?
[00:44:19]  They will be fully aware that an Iran with nuclear weapons will be very, very dangerous from Israel's perspective.
[00:44:28]  And they will go to great lengths to prevent that.
[00:44:30]  And if they can't prevent it through conventional means, then we get to a scenario where they think about using nuclear weapons.
[00:44:39]  And as we know, there's no state on the planet that is more ruthless, more murderous than the Israelis.
[00:44:49]  So the idea that they would use nuclear weapons is certainly plausible.
[00:44:56]  And I really worry about this scenario.
[00:45:01]  I think this is...
[00:45:01]  Gordon Duff on Intel has a story about will Israel use nuclear weapons?
[00:45:10]  Even a blind man can see the answer to that.
[00:45:14]  I think he's right.
[00:45:16]  Trump is claiming that the Supreme Leader's son may have been killed.
[00:45:21]  That responds to reports of his death.
[00:45:25]  This is rather amusing.
[00:45:31]  Blood.
[00:45:32]  Here are a few very important points I want to make clear to the rest of the world.
[00:45:37]  One, I am alive and well.
[00:45:40]  All reports of me being dead are fake news.
[00:45:44]  Two, we are winning this war.
[00:45:47]  Let there be no doubt about it.
[00:45:49]  Three, the days of Iran are counted.
[00:45:53]  Four, I am not the president of the United States of America.
[00:45:57]  Five, we will continue this war until the threat has been abolished completely and without a doubt.
[00:46:05]  Six, we must now stand united and strong in this fight for peace and democracy.
[00:46:12]  And seven, beware of false claims and fake news.
[00:46:16]  They are everywhere.
[00:46:19]  They are everywhere.
[00:46:20]  As I stand here before you in flesh and blood.
[00:46:23]  Seven fingers.
[00:46:24]  I love it.
[00:46:26]  Meanwhile, here's Kim Iverson addressing Net Yam.
[00:46:30]  The ringing in your ears could cause a total brain collapse in less than two years.
[00:46:35]  Tinnitus is pretty good.
[00:46:40]  I've been very famous for your friends.
[00:46:43]  Reports that the head of Mossad, David Barnea, might also be down for the count.
[00:46:48]  These were claims made by the IRGC.
[00:46:51]  People then, of course, immediately said it was all fake.
[00:46:53]  It wasn't real.
[00:46:54]  But there's a lot of evidence pointing to these guys aren't around and what exactly is going on.
[00:47:01]  So we're going to go over that.
[00:47:02]  Plus, Tucker Carlson is being accused of being a foreign agent.
[00:47:07]  And I should say he's being accused by the most Israel-first podcasters and newscasters out there are pointing the finger at Tucker Carlson when they really should be pointing the fingers at themselves.
[00:47:20]  We're going to break down exactly what they're saying about Tucker and how they're actually going after all of us.
[00:47:24]  Now all of us, that includes you, not just me, not just those of us doing these types of shows, but practically everybody is going to be maybe hunted down if this group has their way.
[00:47:36]  That and more is coming up here on the Kim Iverson show.
[00:47:41]  Now before we get into today's show, let me tell you about Rumble Wallet because it is more important now than ever, especially as we're seeing censorship just really ramp up.
[00:47:51]  He's being accused by the most Israel-first podcasters.
[00:47:58]  The blockchain with ownership of, but it also people has been releasing, the prime minister's office itself has been releasing these videos.
[00:48:05]  We're going to go over those videos and point by point break down what is suspicious in each of them, but let's talk about what led to the speculation to begin with.
[00:48:13]  So essentially, it was reported by the Iranians that they had killed or at least struck Bibi Netanyahu, so Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as his, there was reports that his brother, Edo, had also been killed, that basically they had struck the family home or Netanyahu's office.
[00:48:34]  And in that strike, Netanyahu himself was taken out, either wounded or killed, that his brother was also wounded or killed.
[00:48:44]  They'd also reported that the head of Mossad, David Barneya, was also killed.
[00:48:50]  They've also reported that Ben Gavir was also, he's the minister of national security, that he was also taken out, and Tomar Barr, the Air Force commander.
[00:49:03]  These rumors started circulating after the Iranians said, yep, we took them out.
[00:49:06]  Now, we also hear from the Israelis, all of the people that they claimed to take out on the Iranian side and then with Hamas and all of these.
[00:49:13]  And so the Iranians were doing the same thing.
[00:49:15]  But of course, the Israelis adamantly claimed that this was not true.
[00:49:20]  The only problem was we weren't really seeing Netanyahu.
[00:49:24]  We weren't really getting, he would kind of disappeared.
[00:49:28]  And so then the question was, well, if he's alive and if they're lying, then show us he's alive.
[00:49:33]  And we started getting a little bit of trickling of maybe some reports that Netanyahu was doing things, but he hasn't been seen by the public in the same way that he's always been seen previously.
[00:49:45]  So previously, his typical MO is that he would visit, he would do like televised addresses, press conferences from secure locations, in-person visits to military bases and troops, official photos, statements.
[00:50:01]  There would be a lot of in-person with him and a lot of other people, but usually having to do with the military and building up morale or the security situation, not him out sipping coffee.
[00:50:16]  These are the types of things that we did not see during the war with this onslaught of the Palestinians.
[00:50:23]  And also we did not see this during the 12-day war, this type of, oh, I'm just chilling, having coffee and chatting with some girls outside.
[00:50:29]  So it's all very bizarre.
[00:50:31]  So what led to the speculation is that Iran says we got him.
[00:50:36]  And people started to notice that they hadn't really seen Benjamin Netanyahu.
[00:50:41]  Now, the last time that we did really see him, truly, was March 2nd.
[00:50:47]  Netanyahu had visited the site of a Iranian ballistic missile strike in Bet Shemesh, which is just west of Jerusalem.
[00:50:54]  And the strike killed about six to nine civilians, wounded dozens of people.
[00:50:59]  He toured the damaged residential area and also spoke to the press.
[00:51:04]  That was the last time we saw him watch this.
[00:51:07]  Right now in one of the locations that was attacked, you can see just behind me, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has visited this place.
[00:51:16]  This is one of the locations where a deadly attack took place.
[00:51:21]  Nine people were killed, and there were, in fact, more than 25 who were injured out here.
[00:51:26]  You can see Netanyahu, in fact, visiting this particular location out here.
[00:51:31]  And this is the latest that we are picking up in Beth Shemshesh, where these are the regions of the...
[00:51:40]  Okay, so this was filmed March 1st or 2nd.
[00:51:46]  That is what, well, sorry, this was filmed March 2nd.
[00:51:49]  The strike happened March 1st or March 2nd, and then Netanyahu shows up.
[00:51:53]  So probably the strike happened March 1st.
[00:51:54]  Netanyahu's there March 2nd.
[00:51:56]  Then we don't, then the report is from the Iranians that they had struck and killed potentially him and his brother and others at his house.
[00:52:07]  They claim that they struck his home on March 2nd.
[00:52:10]  So that would have been after the visit to this location.
[00:52:14]  That evening or the next day, the Iranians claimed they struck his house and his office.
[00:52:20]  And that is really the last time we've seen Netanyahu until now with these supposed videos of him that look kind of like AI.
[00:52:29]  There was another report we did hear about.
[00:52:32]  They claimed that Netanyahu had visited the National Health Command Center on March 9th.
[00:52:40]  There were some released videos and images or images of him March 9th at this National Health Command Center, but those only came from verified official government, the government photographer.
[00:52:56]  That has not come from any other independent sources.
[00:52:59]  This video here that we just watched was from an Indian reporter, an Indian news channel, and that's an outside source outside of the government of Israel.
[00:53:08]  We have not seen, I can't stress this enough, we have not seen Benjamin Netanyahu outside of official government release except on March 2nd, the day that he toured this site here.
[00:53:26]  And then later that night or the next day, the Iranians claimed they got him.

=== No Proof Netanyahu Is Gone (06:43) ===

[00:53:29]  And we have not seen him since, except for what the government of Israel and the Prime Minister's office has released.
[00:53:36]  So they said on March 9th, he had visited this National Health Command Center.
[00:53:41]  And that was March 9th.
[00:53:44]  What's interesting about that is that is right after the rumors really started circulating that he was gone.
[00:53:49]  And those rumors started March 8th.
[00:53:52]  So we see him in person, verified by outside sources.
[00:53:57]  Then we hear that his house has been struck.
[00:54:00]  Then the Iranians claim they got him.
[00:54:02]  Then people didn't really pick that up until March 8th.
[00:54:05]  They started saying, wait a minute, where's Bibi?
[00:54:07]  The Iranians say they got him and where is he?
[00:54:10]  And then March 9th, the government office says, oh, he has visited this National Health Command Center, but we don't really have anything to prove that.
[00:54:17]  We have like, here's a photo, which could have been an old one.
[00:54:21]  And they said these are some statements that he made.
[00:54:24]  But again, it could have been an old visit, you know, that they kind of circulated around.
[00:54:28]  But that was after March 8th when rumors started really circulating that Netanyahu was gone.
[00:54:32]  Then suddenly we end up with these AI videos that were released March 12th.
[00:54:39]  And then we had another one that was released.
[00:54:41]  So the first one was released.
[00:54:45]  Let's see, where is it?
[00:54:46]  This one was released March 12th.
[00:54:48]  And then yesterday we got him at a coffee shop chilling like as if he's just sipping coffee on a coffee break while all the rest of the high-level government officials are in security meetings and Netanyahu's having coffee.
[00:55:04]  And then we get another video today from apparently that same exact visit that he was out having coffee and chit-chatting with girls.
[00:55:14]  And we will go over the inconsistencies in these videos that really do showcase that they're probably AI.
[00:55:20]  But let's go through some of the other circumstantial evidence that shows maybe Bibi is in fact gone.
[00:55:29]  This is Ito Netanyahu.
[00:55:31]  So they're claiming part of the claims is that Ito Netanyahu, who is his brother, was also killed in that same strike on Netanyahu's house.
[00:55:39]  Other people have also said maybe his wife, but I haven't heard any.
[00:55:43]  Every blurry and low vision and sufferer must try this daily ritual that is leaving doctors speechless.
[00:55:48]  If you wear glasses.
[00:55:49]  Anything really definitive about that?
[00:55:51]  I keep hearing Ito, his brother, and Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as some others that we're going to go over.
[00:55:56]  Now, Ito has a low profile.
[00:55:58]  So we could not verify whether he has been seen or not been seen because he keeps a low profile overall.
[00:56:05]  He's not really a public person.
[00:56:06]  He just happens to be Netanyahu's brother.
[00:56:08]  But we have not seen him since for a while.
[00:56:13]  We haven't seen him since when this supposed attack happened and the death would have happened.
[00:56:18]  But we really didn't see him much prior to that either.
[00:56:21]  So I'm not really sure if we should hang our hat on that so much.
[00:56:24]  Same with David and killed.
[00:56:36]  We have not seen him, but he's also one we don't see that often.
[00:56:41]  So still not exactly any definitive proof that the guy is gone.
[00:56:47]  Now, Netanyahu, on the other hand, keeps a very visible profile.
[00:56:51]  And in previous conflicts, he has been in, he has been spotted and seen in a variety of capacities, either, like I said, visiting military bases or speaking or meeting with world leaders or even on the phone with world leaders.
[00:57:06]  That has not happened.
[00:57:07]  There has been not one single meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu and any leaders of any governments for at least a week, if not longer than that.
[00:57:16]  We have not heard of any meetings whatsoever.
[00:57:18]  I mean, Trump kind of mentioned it, but again, Trump could be covering because they're in the war together.
[00:57:22]  He has not met.
[00:57:27]  Mm-mm.
[00:57:29]  The meter's young.
[00:57:32]  You're muted.
[00:57:38]  You're muted.
[00:57:42]  You're muted, Jim.
[00:57:49]  Here we go.
[00:57:50]  Here we go.
[00:57:51]  Okay, okay, okay, okay.
[00:57:54]  What I want to report is, you may or may not have noticed when he held that cup of coffee, but it didn't satisfy the conditions of fluid dynamics.
[00:58:02]  The amount of water in the top of the cup was the same when it was tilted after he took a sip.
[00:58:08]  That was AI generated without any doubt.
[00:58:12]  David Barnea appears to be alive and well.
[00:58:16]  I know people who have had conversation with him.
[00:58:20]  His argument has been that if Bibi were dead, that the papers, the Israeli papers, would have shown it.
[00:58:32]  But in my opinion, if David Bardea told him not to report it, they would not have reported it.
[00:58:37]  So my inference is under these circumstances, Bibi is dead.
[00:58:44]  His brother died with him, and four generals were there along with him.
[00:58:48]  Joaquin, give us your assessment first and then, Brian.
[00:58:53]  Yeah, well, the fog of war is getting really thick now.
[00:58:59]  Can't see anything.
[00:59:04]  You know, obviously, the world would be better off if the guy's dead.
[00:59:10]  And not that, you know, the maniacs in Israel are going to change course all of a sudden just because they lost their war criminal leader.
[00:59:24]  But yeah, he's probably dead.
[00:59:27]  I actually would prefer him to be dead.
[00:59:30]  And so would probably a vast majority of people on this earth would prefer this man to be gone.
[00:59:37]  You know, you look at both him and Trump, they're war criminal presidents and prime ministers, able to stay in office because they're waging illegal war, criminal war, and both would be in prison if they weren't the wartime leaders of these two countries, these outcast pariah countries.
[01:00:05]  They would not be able to be in the position they're in because they would both be in prison.

=== War Criminals in Prison (03:34) ===

[01:00:13]  So that tells us everything we need to know.
[01:00:17]  They're willing to destroy the world and all life forms on our planet because they will not give up and end up in prison disgrace for the rest of their horrible lives.
[01:00:33]  So yeah, they're going for right to the end.
[01:00:37]  And Mearsheimer and myself, by the way, I always have to plug a fellow West Pointer.
[01:00:43]  Mearsheimer was a senior when I was a freshman.
[01:00:48]  But anyway, yeah, we're very close.
[01:00:51]  I don't think we've ever, in our lifetime, certainly none of us have been as close to self-annihilation through nuclear war as right now.
[01:01:01]  We are hanging on the edge.
[01:01:03]  And, you know, I really do think that if Israel believes existentially it's going down and out and will be done, yes, they will do it.
[01:01:14]  They will.
[01:01:15]  So we're all, you know, at the mercy of these maniacs, you know, doing this war.
[01:01:23]  It's a horrible situation.
[01:01:24]  We need to pray and we need to do everything to extricate ourselves from these kind of satanic leaders that are still in charge.
[01:01:34]  Brian.
[01:01:37]  Well, believe it or not, Netanyahu isn't even that far of a hardliner.
[01:01:42]  I mean, he's had to, look, there were times when he wouldn't be seen with hardliners because he was trying to play such a middle of the road environment.
[01:01:51]  But just like Trump and every other politician, they get pushed.
[01:01:54]  He installed a guy in his government at one of the top positions that was way more radical than he was.
[01:02:01]  Matter of fact, there was a time when he wouldn't even be photographed with the guy because the guy was so radical.
[01:02:06]  But then pressures being what they are, politics being what they are, and hardliner doctrine being what it is, he went ahead and installed the guy anyway and then almost totally lost control of his government.
[01:02:18]  I'm not saying Netanyahu is the core of evil because I think that there's a lot more evil structures behind him.
[01:02:26]  I think the structure itself is what's evil.
[01:02:29]  And what you have to realize is that Israel's entire identity is built on victory through deception.
[01:02:36]  So of course they're going to deploy AI agents to try to get a narrative set up the way they want to get it set up.
[01:02:42]  But whether or not that's a double cross or a triple cross or a quadruple cross, you never know.
[01:02:48]  Do they actually have the Epstein files?
[01:02:50]  Do they actually use the blackmail?
[01:02:53]  Well, of course they do.
[01:02:54]  Of course they do.
[01:02:56]  But Mossad's entire identity is based on deception, which makes them one of the most untrustworthy and most deceptive organizations on the face of planet Earth.
[01:03:07]  So if you can't trust anything they say now, well, I think the question about Netanyahu is: okay, so if he is dead, who are they going to install next?
[01:03:17]  Are they going to continue with a Joe Biden puppeteer that is just a template of his former self, continuing to have his strings pulled by the same machine?
[01:03:27]  I don't know.
[01:03:28]  I don't know how any of this is going to work out, but I can tell you this.
[01:03:32]  One thing that's certain is you can't trust the Israelis to do anything except for believe the Israelis are lying to you every time they talk, whether they're talking straight or crooked.
[01:03:42]  So that sure doesn't make it difficult to negotiate.
[01:03:45]  They've earned that reputation.

=== Mossad Identity Based on Deception (00:56) ===

[01:03:48]  True.
[01:03:49]  It's a Masad motto: wage war by deception.
[01:03:54]  Yeah, wear it on their shoulders.
[01:03:57]  Yes.
[01:03:59]  Don, take us out.
[01:04:01]  Yeah, I think Israel has been taken out myself.
[01:04:05]  I think with BB's home being destroyed and everything else, I think, and we haven't heard a word from Israel for a long time for about a week here.
[01:04:15]  I think it's things might have been changed back there in the Middle East.
[01:04:20]  And things sure have changed here this last week on our shoulder.
[01:04:24]  Truth versus News Incorporated.
[01:04:27]  And this being March 16th, boy, oh boy, we got a lot that's happened this month.
[01:04:33]  And hang on to your hats because we got a second hour with the show.
[01:04:36]  So come on back for more.
[01:04:39]  And by the way, share this widely.
[01:04:42]  There's so many places this needs to be heard.
[01:04:44]  God bless.
