=== Iran's Northern Island Strategy (08:19) ===

[00:00:52]  This is Jim Fetzer, your host on the Rod Deal, right here on Revolution Radio Studio B this 27th day of March 2026, joined by special featured guest Barry Kisson.
[00:01:04]  More about Mary as we proceed.
[00:01:07]  Meanwhile, Israel is hammering.
[00:01:10]  Iran is hammering Israel U.S. bases.
[00:01:13]  The destruction is massive.
[00:01:16]  You are watching and listening to the Electronic Intifada.
[00:01:19]  I am John Elmer.
[00:01:20]  This is the resistance report for day 902 of Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza.
[00:01:25]  It's day 27 of Israel and the United States' war against Iran, and it's day 24 of Hezbollah's defense of South Lebanon against Israel's annexation plan.
[00:01:37]  Much more on that later in this report.
[00:01:39]  I am reporting this on Thursday, the afternoon of March 26th.
[00:01:43]  Things are moving fast, quickly, of course, but I'll be covering the fourth week of the war.
[00:01:48]  And the fourth week of the war will always be the fourth week of the war.
[00:01:52]  So here we go.
[00:01:53]  Let's take a look at the maps off the top.
[00:01:55]  Strait of Hormuz, of course, in the news, a lot of talk about Karg Island, that the U.S. is going to, that the talking head generals say the U.S. is going to occupy that island.
[00:02:08]  Tamara put a nice little arrow in here for us to show you where that island is up on the northern shore.
[00:02:15]  That's Iran to the north.
[00:02:17]  It's the Persian Gulf that you're looking at, and you're looking at that tiny island.
[00:02:22]  The island, Karg Island, is not an oil field.
[00:02:28]  It's an oil terminal.
[00:02:29]  It's where they ship the oil from.
[00:02:32]  So it's not entirely clear what the U.S. strategic benefit of that is other than to shut down global oil supply, which doesn't seem to be what they're interested in doing, considering how much Trump manipulates the markets by telling them what they want to hear.
[00:02:50]  But in any case, when you look at that island up there in the top, and then you look down in the bottom right corner of that map, that's the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:02:58]  And the U.S., with the most advanced warships in the world, are too scared to run the Strait of Hormuz with those warships.
[00:03:08]  But they're seemingly planning to land forces on those islands to hold those islands.
[00:03:18]  I mean, the same reason they're not putting a ship through there is the same reason why they will get hammered if they're on those tiny isolated islands.
[00:03:28]  They'll be sitting ducks, not only from coastal fire, but from fire inland.
[00:03:33]  There's fast boats.
[00:03:35]  A lot of talk about the Navy being destroyed is fraudulent because the key part of the IRGC Navy is their fastboats, missile-capable fast boats that are deployed from in those rocky shorelines that are not being touched by these U.S. strikes saying that we've knocked out the entire Navy of Iran.
[00:03:58]  They've knocked out ships that were tied up on the shore.
[00:04:02]  But the most strategic weaponry that the Iranians have is all in place.
[00:04:07]  And when you look at that map and the gradation, the overwatch that Iran has over this tiny body of water where 20% of the world's oil comes out of, you can just see how far-fetched I think.
[00:04:24]  We won't predict.
[00:04:25]  Again, we're saying we're not going to predict.
[00:04:27]  The war can always escalate.
[00:04:29]  Armies can always do dumb things.
[00:04:32]  The U.S. is, of course, has a long history of doing dumb things and losing, so we'll see how this goes, but I just wanted to show you that map.
[00:04:42]  Yeah, I think it's very telling.
[00:04:43]  The idea of launching Marines and paratroopers into Carg Island is pretty ridiculous.
[00:04:50]  There's been a very significant development in relation to the Lebanese border because Iran has struck Israel's northern command headquarters.
[00:05:01]  Check this out.
[00:05:03]  The number 80 alone of Israel's northern command.
[00:05:08]  Every troop rotation into southern Lebanon flows through it.
[00:05:12]  Every artillery order, every armored unit deployment on the Golan Heights, every defensive alignment against Hezbollah.
[00:05:20]  The entire northern military architecture of one of the most sophisticated fighting forces in the world runs through one building in one city.
[00:05:29]  And on the night of March 25th, 2026, Iranian ballistic missiles carrying cluster warheads hit it directly.
[00:05:37]  That was wave 80 of Operation True Promise 4.
[00:05:40]  Not a one-off strike, not a desperate degraded adversary firing its last rounds.
[00:05:46]  The 80th consecutive wave of a systematic military campaign that has been running at an average of more than three waves per day for 26 days without stopping.
[00:05:56]  In the same salvo, missiles hit Tel Aviv, missiles hit Ben, missiles hit Kiryat Shimona, and Iran simultaneously claimed precision strikes on four American military bases spread across three countries in the Gulf region using Khibar, Shekhan and Sejiel ballistic missiles.
[00:06:16]  Earlier that same morning, President Trump told reporters that Iran was totally defeated, that it was militarily dead, that American planes were flying over Tehran and Iran could not do a thing about it.
[00:06:28]  Hours later, cluster warheads rained down on Israeli cities from 80 separate attack waves.
[00:06:34]  The IRGC spokesperson responded on video.
[00:06:38]  He said, and the translation is precise, the strategic power you boast about has become a strategic defeat.
[00:06:45]  If you could escape this, you would have already.
[00:06:48]  That gap, the distance between what is being said at podiums and what is landing on the ground, is not a communications problem.
[00:06:55]  It is the central analytical story of this conflict, and it has never been wider than it was on March 25th.
[00:07:02]  Subscribe right now and activate all notifications.
[00:07:06]  What is being analyzed here is not a single strike.
[00:07:09]  It is the operational logic of a weapon system that has broken the mathematical foundation of the most expensive air defense architecture ever deployed.
[00:07:18]  And the consequences of that break extend far beyond Israeli airspace.
[00:07:23]  This analysis is going to go through all of it, layer by layer.
[00:07:27]  To understand why Dado Base matters in ways that a random military installation does not, you need to understand the specific operational context into which this strike landed.
[00:07:38]  Israel is not simply defending its northern border.
[00:07:41]  As of March 17th, Israel launched a ground invasion into southern Lebanon.
[00:07:46]  Defense Minister Israel Katz has stated publicly that Israel intends to hold a security zone extending all the way to the Latani River until Hezbollah is eliminated.
[00:07:57]  Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich went further still.
[00:08:01]  He has called for the Litani to become Israel's permanent northern border.
[00:08:05]  That is not defensive posture language, that is annexation language, and every order managing that ground campaign runs through Dado Base.
[00:08:14]  Two front-line combat divisions operate under its direct command, armoured units on the Golan Heights, territorial defense forces on the Lebanese borderline.
[00:08:25]  The intelligence picture feeding operational decisions about where Hezbollah is positioned and what it is doing, all of it funneled through one command structure in one building that Iranian missiles just hit directly while that ground campaign is actively underway.
[00:08:40]  This is no longer a one-front war.
[00:08:42]  Iran is firing from the east.
[00:08:45]  Hezbollah is launching from the north.
[00:08:47]  At least one woman has been killed in northern Israel from continuous rocket attacks in the days surrounding this strike.
[00:08:54]  Gaza remains unresolved in the south, three simultaneous active fronts.
[00:08:59]  One central command node just took direct fire from ballistic missiles.
[00:09:04]  Now let us examine the specific weapons used in Wave 80 with the precision that the strategic significance of this moment demands.

=== Cluster Warhead Defense Failure (07:10) ===

[00:09:12]  Because the headline describes a missile strike on a military headquarters, the technical reality describes something structurally more consequential than that.
[00:09:21]  The Sejil is a two-stage solid-fuel intermediate-range ballistic missile.
[00:09:26]  It measures roughly 17.5 meters in length, weighs approximately 23 tons, and carries a warhead between 500 kilograms and 1 metric ton.
[00:09:36]  Its confirmed range extends between 2,000 and 2,500 kilometers.
[00:09:42]  Iran has stated it can travel from Natans to Tel Aviv in under seven minutes.
[00:09:47]  The detail that matters most is not the range or the payload.
[00:09:50]  It is the propulsion, solid fuel.
[00:09:53]  Unlike liquid-fueled systems that require extended fueling on exposed launch pads, giving satellite surveillance and pre-emptive strikes a detection window to work with, the Sejil fires from road mobile launchers with almost no preparation time visible from above.
[00:10:10]  It climbs steeply, exits the atmosphere, then re-enters at hypersonic velocity.
[00:10:16]  That re-entry profile makes consistent radar tracking during terminal descent extraordinarily difficult for any ground-based defense network currently deployed in the region.
[00:10:27]  The Khaybar Shekhan, designated the Khorom Shah-4 in its most current variant, is a fundamentally different instrument.
[00:10:35]  It is liquid-fueled, roughly 13 meters for the motor section plus an additional 4 meters for the warhead assembly, with a total launch weight between 19,000 and 26,000 kilograms.
[00:10:48]  It carries the heaviest confirmed payload in Iran's operational arsenal, between 1,500 and 1,800 kilograms.
[00:10:56]  The Khorom Shah-4 uses an advanced propulsion system running on hypergolic fuel that can remain stored in its tanks for years without degradation, cutting active fueling preparation to approximately 12 minutes.
[00:11:10]  It also carries a mid-course navigation system that corrects trajectory outside the atmosphere.
[00:11:16]  That means electronic warfare jamming during the terminal guidance phase does not reliably work against it.
[00:11:22]  The correction has already happened above the atmosphere before the jamming can intervene.
[00:11:28]  But the capability that has structurally broken the logic of Israeli air defense, the feature that changed the nature of this conflict in ways that no official briefing has fully communicated to the public, is what the Korom Shaha carries inside its warhead section.
[00:11:43]  It can be fitted with a cluster munition warhead containing up to 80 individual submunitions, and that single design choice has rendered the foundational assumption of missile defense, destroy the threat, neutralize the danger, mathematically unreliable.
[00:11:59]  Here is how missile defense is supposed to work.
[00:12:02]  Track the incoming missile on radar, fire an interceptor, hit the warhead, threat eliminated.
[00:12:08]  That logic is clean, expensive, and effective against a single conventional warhead following a predictable ballistic arc.
[00:12:15]  Against a cluster warhead, the logic collapses at a specific moment, the moment of deployment.
[00:12:21]  Dr. Uzi Rubin, the former director of Israel's Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, stated it plainly in public comments after these strikes.
[00:12:31]  His exact phrasing was, after the cluster is opened, it is too late.
[00:12:36]  What he means by too late is this.
[00:12:39]  The Koram Shah's cluster warhead deploys its submunitions at altitude.
[00:12:44]  Israeli analysts and the IDF have confirmed deployment typically occurs at 7 to 10 kilometers above ground.
[00:12:52]  Each submunition carries between 2 and 5 kilograms of explosives.
[00:12:56]  When 80 of them scatter across a radius that can extend 10 kilometers, the incoming threat is no longer one target moving along one trajectory.
[00:13:06]  It is 80 separate targets moving along 80 slightly divergent trajectories simultaneously.
[00:13:12]  Israel's Arrow system, the highest tier of its layered defense network designed to engage ballistic threats in the upper atmosphere, must destroy the missile before that 7 kilometer threshold, not intercept it, destroy it completely, head-on with enough force to prevent the submunitions from deploying even as debris, an interceptor that clips the missile body rather than destroying the warhead directly, may still allow the cluster mechanism to function.
[00:13:41]  The warhead opens, the bomblets scatter, the interception is logged as a technical success.
[00:13:47]  The ground is still covered in shrapnel across several city blocks.
[00:13:51]  Iron Dome, the system most people associate with Israel's missile defense, was never designed for this threat.
[00:13:58]  It handles short-range rockets at lower altitudes with a targeting algorithm optimized for identifying trajectories aimed at populated areas.
[00:14:07]  It cannot simultaneously engage dozens of small, fast-falling sub-munitions scattered across miles of airspace in the seconds available after cluster deployment.
[00:14:17]  The Israeli Air Force has now publicly acknowledged choosing not to shoot down certain cluster bomblets specifically to preserve its stockpile of short-range interceptors.
[00:14:26]  That decision, conservative as it sounds, is an admission that the mathematics of this conflict have become unsustainable.
[00:14:33]  Subscribe and share this analysis with anyone trying to understand this conflict at the depth it deserves, because what follows is the dimension of this story that official communications are structurally incapable of communicating directly.
[00:14:47]  The IDF confirmed that as of March 20th, 365 ballistic missiles had crossed toward Israel since February 28th.
[00:14:55]  Of those, 285 entered Israeli airspace.
[00:14:59]  Approximately 270 were intercepted, producing an overall intercept rate above 90%.
[00:15:07]  That figure has been used repeatedly in official briefings as evidence that the defense is working.
[00:15:12]  It is technically accurate and operationally misleading simultaneously.
[00:15:17]  Here is what a 90% intercept rate against cluster warheads actually means in practice.
[00:15:23]  More than two dozen confirmed cluster warhead strikes hit populated areas during this period, creating over 100 separate impact sites across multiple cities.
[00:15:33]  Two construction workers were killed in Yehud.
[00:15:36]  Two residents in their 70s were killed in Ramatgan when a cluster warhead deployed across their neighborhood and they could not reach their safe room in time.
[00:15:45]  At least six people were killed in a missile strike in Beit Shemesh on March 1st, one of the deadliest single attacks on Israeli civilians in this conflict.
[00:15:54]  Nearly 200 people were wounded in a single attack on Arad on March 22nd after defense systems failed to intercept at least two.
[00:16:02]  Now there's more to his analysis and actually the more important part about the destruction of this headquarters, which controlled two divisions, armored columns a whole bit.
[00:16:13]  It was a headquarters for the Israeli operations in Lebanon.
[00:16:17]  It has been destroyed.
[00:16:20]  thoroughly destroyed.

=== Baltic State Complicity Revealed (06:18) ===

[00:16:22]  Meanwhile, here's another report about the Baltic states having turned against We are joined by Stanislav Krapivnik, a former U.S. Army officer born in Donbass and who has since returned.
[00:16:38]  Thank you for coming back on the program.
[00:16:42]  Always a pleasure, Glenn.
[00:16:44]  Always a pleasure.
[00:16:45]  But we're not talking about explosions today.
[00:16:49]  Well, I appreciate you coming on.
[00:16:52]  I know you had quite a few meetings and interviews today.
[00:16:57]  But I wanted to speak with you about U.S. boots on the ground in Iran.
[00:17:03]  But before we get to that, it's worth addressing this attack on this key Russian port on the Baltic Sea, more than 1,000 kilometers away for a drone to fly from Ukraine, even further if it avoids Belarus, which it did.
[00:17:22]  Yet it appears to have entered from NATO territory through the Baltic states.
[00:17:28]  How do you make sense of what has happened?
[00:17:31]  And what do we actually know?
[00:17:33]  Well, it didn't appear they did.
[00:17:36]  In fact, two of those drones, one hit a power plant, a chimney of a power plant in Estonia, and one hit some other object in Latvia.
[00:17:50]  So maybe they flew around from Ukraine for Poland and the Baltics, or maybe they lifted off from the pre-Baltics.
[00:18:00]  I don't know.
[00:18:01]  I'm betting closer they probably left it off.
[00:18:04]  Either way, even if they flew through, I mean, this wasn't one or two drones.
[00:18:07]  There was about 30, 40 drones that flew through.
[00:18:11]  And this is not the first time.
[00:18:13]  So either A, the Poles and the Poles and the Pre-Baltics are absolutely incompetent governments with incompetent security systems that anything can fly through their airspace and they don't give a damn or cannot control it.
[00:18:28]  Or B, more likely, they're in on it.
[00:18:31]  They are direct military engagement with Russia at this point.
[00:18:36]  Unavoidable to come to that conclusion, especially the pre-Baltics, that they're direct participants in this war.
[00:18:46]  Well, we see that over the past few weeks or months, NATO's, well, more or less identified the objective of putting pressure on Russia.
[00:18:55]  In order to do this, they're also very explicit, that is to go after the Russian economy, energy specifically.
[00:19:03]  They're discussing seizing ships, confiscating oil is the new one.
[00:19:08]  But attack from NATO territory, though, how is this affecting the, I guess, the sentiments or the pressure against the Kremlin to, I guess, change tactics?
[00:19:21]  Because there seems to be some concern that more and more of, well, if it's not red lines, This overstepping more and more lines, at least, of what we're not supposed to do.
[00:19:35]  I mean, there's informal rules in any proxy war of what each side should be doing.
[00:19:40]  And it appears that all rules are essentially tossed overboard.
[00:19:46]  Well, this isn't the first time this has happened.
[00:19:47]  Let's be honest about it.
[00:19:49]  Five months ago, in the middle of Estonia, a drone came down, blew up, and Estonians tried to keep it quiet.
[00:19:56]  The internet was still filled with photos that got leaked out of the shell crater where the drone hit.
[00:20:03]  And I was carrying a large enough amount of explosives and the remains of that drone.
[00:20:08]  The attack on Skof airbase did not come from Ukraine.
[00:20:14]  It came from 47 kilometers away out of Estonia.
[00:20:18]  I was on the evening with Vladimir Selevyov, which is one of the big shows, talk shows, political talk shows.
[00:20:26]  And Vladimir himself, who is big in this, is one of the top people in this industry, is out there saying, you know, we need to just, we need to crack the heads of the Estonians, just as an example.
[00:20:44]  I say the same thing.
[00:20:45]  There needs to be an example made.
[00:20:48]  And Estonia has is as to call it anti-Russian erusophobic is, well, that doesn't even describe half of the psychopathic hatred that drives these people.
[00:21:03]  They are corrupted through and through, considering Russians are about 50% of their country's population, considering Narva, which is a 95% Russian city back from the 1200s, if not earlier.
[00:21:17]  So you can't say these are people that are Soviet Union, but this is their excuse normally.
[00:21:22]  Oh, these are immigrants from the Soviet Union forced upon us.
[00:21:25]  Well, no, actually, you're holding Russian land.
[00:21:27]  Get the hell off of Russian land in that case.
[00:21:30]  You know, the pre-Baltics, if we're going to go begin with this, they're three absolutely artificial countries that did not exist until 1917 in any form that they ever exist as nation states.
[00:21:41]  They are an artificial entities created by the collapse of the Soviet Union, first and foremost.
[00:21:48]  Well, I'm sorry, the collapse of the Russian Empire, first and foremost, and then recreated by the collapse of the Soviet Union.
[00:21:57]  If we're going to be honest about it, the land was purchased from the Swedes after we beat Charles the Great in Paltava.
[00:22:08]  Peter the Great destroyed his armies, defeated Sweden, but to make it a little easier to swallow the defeat, he paid for the land that Russia conquered from the Swedes.
[00:22:18]  And in that bill, by the way, there's no mention about population, but the land was transferred as a piece of real estate in those areas to Russia.
[00:22:27]  So if we're going to go down that road, you can live here if you want, or you can leave, but the land belongs to Russia by purchase from Sweden.
[00:22:36]  I think these historical discussions are extremely important ultimately.

=== Engineered Protests and Sanctions (03:10) ===

[00:22:41]  Meanwhile, the New York Times itself, which is, of course, very pro-Israel, admits Iran has rendered virtually all the U.S. Gulf states uninhabitable.
[00:22:54]  New York Times.
[00:22:55]  Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable.
[00:23:01]  The one in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffered perhaps the most damage.
[00:23:06]  Six U.S. service members killed in a strike on Park Shuaba that destroyed Army Tactical Liberation Center.
[00:23:13]  Iranian drones and missiles also targeted Ali al-Salaam air base, damaging aircraft structures and injuring personnel.
[00:23:21]  That was a massive attack.
[00:23:23]  And Capuring, damaging maintenance and fuel facilities.
[00:23:28]  There is so much more.
[00:23:30]  Interestingly, the Times has also admitted that the protests in Iran that we've heard so much about, their stated plan was to cause an uprising in Iran, which will lead to the toppling of their government.
[00:23:45]  Then, all Israel and the United States will have to do at that point is to assassinate a few of the Iranian beloved leaders, and then boom, they can install a Zionist-friendly Iranian government.
[00:24:00]  This is a good example of just exactly how war propaganda works and how the media plays along, and how the government is always constantly lying to you.
[00:24:09]  And remember, they were telling you about, oh, there's people are protesting against their oppressive government in Iran, and then Iran, for no reason, just starts slaughtering their protesters.
[00:24:20]  There's such horrible, horrible, horrible people in Iran.
[00:24:24]  We have to free their people.
[00:24:26]  Well, those protests, as I've told you before, were engineered by the United States.
[00:24:31]  They were engineered by the Mossad and the United States.
[00:24:34]  So, what the United States did first was they put these horrible, crippling economic sanctions on Iran, meaning nobody could do business with Iran, which claimed, and they also collapsed their currency, their dollar.
[00:24:47]  So, their bank started to fail, their currency fell with no, and they couldn't have any kind of an economy.
[00:24:54]  So, people came out to protest, we have to do something about this.
[00:24:58]  And then the Mossad went and gave the Mossad was the one giving people guns, and they started shooting cops, and they started burning down mosques, and that was all from the Mossad and the United States.
[00:25:17]  So, the United States, and so that was all made up.
[00:25:20]  And so, the reason why the Iran government started shooting protesters is because the protesters were infiltrated by the Mossad, given guns, weapons, and satellites to coordinate.
[00:25:32]  And they were burning down the city, burning down police departments, mosques, and they were killing cops.
[00:25:38]  That's why that happened.
[00:25:39]  That never got reported here in the United States, but now the New York Times is going to admit it now that it doesn't matter.
[00:25:47]  Now that it doesn't matter, the New York Times is going to tell you the truth about this.

=== Middle East Weapon Supply Chains (14:59) ===

[00:30:19]  Well, Barry, that's quite a range of reports about Iranian missile attacks, mandarin on U.S. bases in the Middle East, uninhabitable.
[00:30:30]  Baltic states being complicit in war against Russia.
[00:30:36]  The horrific power of Iran with the 80-80 waves of missiles.
[00:30:42]  Frankly, the U.S. grossly underestimated Iran's capabilities militarily, which was fateful blunder.
[00:30:53]  And now we have Mossad being outed for having instrumented, instigated those riots that were supposed to be pro-democracy, but were actually funded, orchestrated by Mossad, that have been used so effectively in propaganda against Iran.
[00:31:13]  I have people I respect who still believe to this day that those were authentic Iranian uprisings.
[00:31:22]  And of course, the American sanctions, it's just as with Cuba and many other states, we cramp such severe sanction upon them that they have a economic suffering manifest and then blame it on their own governments, never acknowledging the U.S. brought it all about.
[00:31:39]  Similar with Iran, your thoughts, Barry.
[00:31:44]  Well, one thing that I notice in what you have on the screen is that the New York Times evidently is at least implying, if not being explicit, that we're talking 3,000 dead.
[00:31:57]  The figures you hear certainly coming out of Israel and out of U.S. propaganda as well, is more like you're hearing 30,000, 40,000.
[00:32:07]  So, yeah, they're trying to make the most out of something here.
[00:32:11]  But yeah, I mean, it's great that it's coming to light that they were instigated by Mossad.
[00:32:14]  Of course, we've known that for a good while.
[00:32:16]  It was in alternative media right away.
[00:32:19]  So there's that.
[00:32:21]  A question I have, Jim, you probably have some insights.
[00:32:26]  I don't quite get the very low number of Israeli deaths under this barrage from Iran.
[00:32:37]  I don't understand why it's so low.
[00:32:38]  Now, you tell me, I mean, maybe something's being covered up, or maybe we're just about at the end of the effectiveness of their air defense and the deaths are construct going up.
[00:32:50]  You tell me.
[00:32:51]  I mean, are we getting an accurate view of the deaths to date?
[00:32:56]  It's all in Bubb Barry.
[00:32:58]  They're minimizing in Israel.
[00:33:01]  You can be sent to jail if you actually give accurate reports or photographs of the damage being inflicted because Israel is being turned into Gaza 2.0.
[00:33:12]  It's just the classic axiom displayed that the first casualty war is truth.
[00:33:21]  I'm convinced American casualties are well over 500.
[00:33:24]  They may be closer to 1,000 at this point, but it's not being admitted.
[00:33:29]  It'll take forever to trickle out.
[00:33:31]  And this has been true of past American wars where the actual number of casualties was minimized and it would take years for the real numbers to emerge similarly here, Barry.
[00:33:44]  Gotcha.
[00:33:45]  I mean, for that matter, Jim, the last figure I heard on Iranian deaths is in the vicinity of 2,000.
[00:33:53]  Now, that seems to me to be probably an undercount.
[00:33:56]  That would be my guess.
[00:33:57]  I mean, given the onslaught.
[00:33:59]  What do you think?
[00:34:02]  Oh, I suspect, yeah, but Iran is far more honest and candid.
[00:34:08]  I mean, if you had to judge a reliability conflicting report, you can trust the Iranian and not the American or Israeli, which are notoriously propagandistic, fabricated, and false.
[00:34:23]  Right.
[00:34:24]  That sounds right.
[00:34:28]  What else?
[00:34:29]  Well, we...
[00:34:30]  I mean, if we're going to talk about Ukraine, I mean, oh my God.
[00:34:33]  I mean, you know, that's another one to keep you up at night.
[00:34:39]  I mean, you tell me when that commentator, that Russian commentator, suggests, okay, you know, it's time to punish Estonia.
[00:34:49]  I mean, I mean, then we're looking at Article 5, aren't we?
[00:34:54]  Well, it was actually, he's actually an American commentator who's on the Russian war, but he's suggesting what Russia needs to do is set an example with Estonia for interfering in the war with Ukraine.
[00:35:09]  I understand that.
[00:35:10]  What about Article 5?
[00:35:13]  Well, I don't think we're going to see, you know, NATO's already de facto been at war with Russia the entire time.
[00:35:22]  In fact, that is what could be considered to be the open secret about the war.
[00:35:30]  It's always from the beginning been NATO versus Russia.
[00:35:34]  It was never simply Ukraine.
[00:35:36]  And with the Minsk agreement, of course, it was used to beef up Ukraine by NATO providing all these weapons, U.S. providing all these weapons.
[00:35:46]  And it's failed.
[00:35:48]  It's failed massively.
[00:35:50]  So, you know, I'm really impressed with Russian military prowess.
[00:35:59]  And, of course, now Iranian, Iranians really thought this through, Barry.
[00:36:06]  All right, well, before we go to Iran, before we go to Iran, just talk about Russia.
[00:36:09]  Now, I thought just the other day, it might have been yesterday, day before, I can't cite the authority, but I believe it was a pretty reliable source said that at least for a period of time, as a result of all these drone attacks from Ukraine and so forth, that 40% of Russia's ability to export oil had been compromised.
[00:36:29]  Did you see that?
[00:36:31]  Well, I find that very dubious.
[00:36:34]  I mean, look, with the sanctions and the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline and all that, Russia did suffer a setback.
[00:36:43]  But now Trump, realizing rising gas prices cost him so much domestically, he's gone absolutely contradictory to what would be ordinary policy to allow Russia to sell oil and even Ukraine, even Iran to sell oil, Barry.
[00:37:01]  I mean, it is that.
[00:37:03]  This is our enemy in the war.
[00:37:04]  We've attacked them, but we're allowing them to sell oil so he can keep it on the market.
[00:37:10]  So domestic gas prices don't go up, which he knows are going to cause a fur.
[00:37:16]  So he is truly boxed in.
[00:37:20]  Okay.
[00:37:21]  You know, what about the line of thought that suggests that Putin really has inhibited Russia's attacks on Ukraine?
[00:37:36]  That there are plenty of authorities in Russia that think it's time to get this over with, which presumably they could do.
[00:37:47]  What's your view?
[00:37:48]  I mean, do you think Putin has sort of inhibited the attacks when perhaps that wasn't advisable?
[00:37:54]  I mean, we're in four years now.
[00:37:59]  Historically, Ukraine was a part of Russia.
[00:38:02]  In fact, Kiev was the first capital of Russia.
[00:38:06]  So he wants to be kind and gentle to the population.
[00:38:11]  Plus, the Soviets learned and Russia has adapted the technique of taking defensive positions and allowing your opponent to attack and then executing a war of attrition, such that we have estimates that as many as 2 million Ukrainians have died, but only 200,000, 400,000 Russians.
[00:38:34]  So, I mean, it's being very successful.
[00:38:37]  Now, once they reach Odessa, which I believe will happen in short order, the path to Kiev and the end of the war is very clearly in sight.
[00:38:45]  And I believe that will happen.
[00:38:48]  And I even believe we got Colonel McGregor talking about that momentarily when we continue with the additional stories for today.
[00:38:58]  But Barry, what else would you like to add?
[00:39:01]  Well, just in the meantime, Russia is, to one extent or another, you tell me, being hammered.
[00:39:10]  I mean, they are managing, right, to sort of bomb Russia and attack it with drones.
[00:39:16]  I mean, that's happening.
[00:39:17]  That's happening regularly.
[00:39:18]  And of course, it's with NATO.
[00:39:20]  It's NATO munitions.
[00:39:21]  It's NATO advisors.
[00:39:23]  It's NATO targeting.
[00:39:24]  I mean, I understand all that.
[00:39:27]  But Russia's taken a hit over the years.
[00:39:30]  Russia itself.
[00:39:32]  Right?
[00:39:35]  Relatively, relatively marginally from the robots I have.
[00:39:41]  Let's go back to the Middle East and Colonel McGregor, whom I regard as the single best expert on the subject.
[00:39:49]  When I started my record label, the business side of things, taxes, finance.
[00:39:55]  Netanyahu's delusions of dominating the whole region and demonstrating Jewish supremacy there and worldwide are now Trump's reality.
[00:40:04]  He seems to be committed to that, regardless of the cost to us, regardless of the cost of the world.
[00:40:09]  The longer this lasts, the worse the picture gets globally.
[00:40:12]  I think the Iranians have decided that rather than live on their knees, they're going to stand up even if it kills them.
[00:40:18]  I think the Iranians have made it very clear that they will not meet Mr. Netanyahu's demands.
[00:40:23]  So we have to understand that the demands President Trump stipulated are not our demands.
[00:40:28]  They're Israel's demands, as articulated by Mr. Netanyahu.
[00:40:32]  This is the last act in the American theatrical production in the Middle East.
[00:40:36]  When this ends, we will be finished in the Middle East.
[00:40:39]  There will be no restoration of the status quo ante.
[00:40:43]  We will simply get out and everybody in the Middle East will want us out.
[00:40:47]  Well, everyone, we're very honored to welcome back into the studio Colonel Douglas McGregor, one of the greatest geopolitical insiders that we have today.
[00:40:54]  Colonel, welcome back to the studio.
[00:40:56]  Good to be with you, Cyrus.
[00:40:57]  Well, Colonel, I want to get your thoughts on the situation with Iran right now, because we are entering in to day 11 of this conflict.
[00:41:05]  And what's interesting is, is we saw a tremendous change yesterday in the oil markets.
[00:41:10]  The futures got up to $120.
[00:41:13]  That's when Donald Trump came out and said something to cool down the market, saying that, look, the Iran war is almost going to be over.
[00:41:20]  But then you had Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, basically contradict that and say that we're just at the beginning.
[00:41:26]  I think there's a lot of confusion here.
[00:41:28]  And this is why we need to turn to the experts like yourself.
[00:41:30]  Give us a little update on what you're feeling here on day 11 as we're going into this insane conflict.
[00:41:36]  Well, I think the word insane is an accurate descriptive.
[00:41:41]  You know, this thing was not supposed to last for very long, this particular operation.
[00:41:47]  I think that's evident from everything that we've heard and seen.
[00:41:51]  And I'm afraid that the White House has discovered that they miscalculated.
[00:41:56]  They thought that between the decapitation strikes designed to eliminate leaders at all levels in Iran had failed, that they were going to have to do something else.
[00:42:06]  And I think the something else is the question that they need to answer.
[00:42:11]  And the most immediate answer is, well, we started this.
[00:42:14]  Now we need to double down and do more damage.
[00:42:18]  And I look at many of my generation.
[00:42:20]  These are the people that remember Vietnam.
[00:42:22]  And unfortunately, they say, double down.
[00:42:25]  We're not tough enough.
[00:42:27]  We're not ruthless enough.
[00:42:28]  We need to destroy more, kill more.
[00:42:32]  It's not a good prescription for, I think, Iran.
[00:42:35]  It's the size of Western Europe with 93 million people.
[00:42:39]  And they have demonstrated thus far that they prepared pretty well to deal with what was going to happen to them.
[00:42:45]  The only area where I think there is some measure of disappointment, serious disappointment over in Iran is with the overall air and missile defense.
[00:42:54]  They haven't been able to down very many aircraft, but they are shooting down lots of what I would call the terrestrial intelligence surveillance reconnaissance platforms like the Israeli Hermes unmanned system, the drone.
[00:43:09]  The reason it's important that you shoot those things down is that they are sent in to confirm or verify what people are finding on satellite imagery and space-based observation.
[00:43:20]  Before you launch major strikes and commit large quantities of munitions to something, you want to try and make sure what you're shooting at is real and so forth.
[00:43:28]  We spent, I'm told, something like $5.2 billion in the first 24 to 36 hours.
[00:43:35]  And we discovered subsequently that we shot a lot of decoys.
[00:43:40]  We missed things.
[00:43:41]  And one of the things that we were absolutely convinced, and this is another Air Force malady, unfortunately, that if you achieve air superiority or air supremacy over the areas of importance to you, that you're going to win.
[00:43:55]  Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of evidence to support that unless you have a force on the ground that can somehow or another exploit it or discount it as not being useful, whatever.
[00:44:08]  So I think we're stuck now.
[00:44:10]  In a way, I think the evidence for the failure thus far of this strategic air and missile campaign was evident when you heard the Hag Seth was at Raisin Kane joint press conference.
[00:44:25]  Hag Seth makes a lot of statements that don't make a lot of sense, as you point out, that are somewhat contradictory and coherent.
[00:44:32]  But he wants to reassure everybody, we're going to bomb everyone into Kingdom Come.
[00:44:36]  I mean, essentially, that's his message.
[00:44:39]  It hasn't worked very well.
[00:44:40]  Then you go to General Kane, and he's very much like an accountant standing in front of his spreadsheet.
[00:44:47]  Well, we flew 5,000 strikes.
[00:44:49]  We dropped X number of munitions and we hit these many targets and the things are going as planned.
[00:44:57]  Well, you know, I lived to the Vietnam War and I listened to lots of briefings like that over and over and over again, right up until we left for all intents and purposes, about 1972-73 timeframe.
[00:45:09]  And we said we were flying this many sorties, dropping this many bombs, and of course, we lost.
[00:45:16]  So I think you have two different campaigns.

=== China Fertilizer Storage Secrets (06:25) ===

[00:45:19]  You have the U.S. campaign that's designed first to decapitate, that failed, now it's designed to destroy.
[00:45:28]  Destruction means that you hit what you can find that you think is valuable.
[00:45:33]  In other words, if you can find launch sites or you can find a launch platform, you try to hit that.
[00:45:39]  Otherwise, what do you do?
[00:45:40]  You end up bombing things that don't move, buildings, infrastructure, because you can find it.
[00:45:46]  You can identify it, then you can destroy it.
[00:45:49]  On the Iranian side, the Iranian side is we've got to survive.
[00:45:54]  That's the number one thing.
[00:45:55]  If they survive, they win.
[00:45:58]  That's not enough for us.
[00:46:00]  We're the ones that have said we've got to conquer the place in order to win the war.
[00:46:05]  That means unless they show up for a battleship Missouri-style surrender in the Persian Gulf, and I think they're now repainting the battleship Missouri with the USS Trump towing it over through the Pacific and into the Persian Gulf.
[00:46:18]  I'm kidding, of course.
[00:46:19]  So that President Trump can meet them on the battleship and they can surrender to him.
[00:46:24]  Unless you can achieve that, what do you look like?
[00:46:26]  You look foolish.
[00:46:28]  And at the same time, if you look at the missile strikes, they're saying, well, we're firing less missiles.
[00:46:33]  We're also flying fewer sorties.
[00:46:35]  In other words, we've reached that point where, okay, are we having an impact?
[00:46:39]  We're trying to reassess what is the battle damage and what difference does it make.
[00:46:43]  On the Iranian side, they've done enormous damage.
[00:46:46]  27 plus U.S. bases completely destroyed.
[00:46:50]  Virtually all of the long-range radars that are designed to give you early warning of an incoming missile attack in Israel and across the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula, they're all gone.
[00:46:59]  They've been destroyed.
[00:47:02]  And now they're taking things apart.
[00:47:04]  I was just looking at some satellite photography before I came on in Kuwait, looking at the U.S. base there.
[00:47:10]  They obviously have excellent intelligence.
[00:47:12]  They know where the CIA stations are.
[00:47:15]  They know where people are located that actually perform tasks that are of importance.
[00:47:19]  They're systematically dismantling our military capability across the Gulf.
[00:47:24]  And they've made it very clear that unless you play ball with us, if you live in the MRAs or these other places, you continue to serve the American-Israeli agenda.
[00:47:35]  We'll destroy everything else.
[00:47:37]  And at the same time, the oil jugular is shutting down in Qatar.
[00:47:43]  They have no more storage.
[00:47:45]  They're stopping extraction.
[00:47:48]  Same thing in the UAE.
[00:47:50]  They just shut down the world's largest refinery.
[00:47:53]  Why?
[00:47:53]  Well, you can't refine anything else.
[00:47:55]  What's the point?
[00:47:56]  And you have 3,200 ships all over the world idle that are there to bring out oil or come in and load up, and they can't do it.
[00:48:07]  I thought it was interesting that President Trump said these people on board these ships must be gutless.
[00:48:12]  Why aren't they running through the Straits of Hour moves?
[00:48:16]  Well, President Trump, I got news for you.
[00:48:17]  First of all, insurance companies won't pay for it.
[00:48:20]  And secondly, these people actually would like to stay alive.
[00:48:23]  I guess Trump doesn't understand what's really happening.
[00:48:28]  All in all, you've got a war without strategy, and that means a war without end.
[00:48:34]  And secondly, you've got President Trump who, let's put it this way: Netanyahu's delusions of dominating the whole region and demonstrating Jewish supremacy there and worldwide are now Trump's reality.
[00:48:50]  He seems to be committed to that, regardless of the cost to us, regardless of the cost of the world.
[00:48:57]  So right now, 25% of the world's oil is offline, and it may be indefinite at this stage.
[00:49:04]  And at the same time, 35% of the world's fertilizer is not on hand.
[00:49:10]  You have to have the components from the Gulf in order to have fertilizer.
[00:49:15]  Now, we can get fertilizer elsewhere, the Russians, maybe Ukrainians.
[00:49:19]  I don't know if they're organized to do anything about it.
[00:49:21]  The Russians can sell you all the fertilizer you want, I guess.
[00:49:25]  And then you look at the rest of the world, you look at Asia, and everyone is celebrating all the damage they think they're doing to China.
[00:49:32]  You know, the idea being that, you know, China has 100 to 115 days of net import cover in its strategic petroleum reserve.
[00:49:43]  That's old.
[00:49:44]  We've taken, we've stolen the oil from Venezuela.
[00:49:48]  Venezuela isn't our state.
[00:49:50]  We are not occupying it.
[00:49:52]  We do not control it, but we can take control of their oil so they can't ship it to China.
[00:49:56]  We see that as a big achievement.
[00:49:59]  And the result is that China is now forced to buy more expensive, transparently traded oil instead of the cheap reserves that they were getting.
[00:50:07]  Well, at what point does China say, that's enough?
[00:50:11]  We're not going to play this game anymore.
[00:50:13]  What do they do?
[00:50:14]  Do they intervene in the conflict?
[00:50:16]  And then here, what we're seeing in Europe, it's catastrophic.
[00:50:20]  The oil prices are rising without limit.
[00:50:24]  You know, their storage has fallen now below 30% capacity.
[00:50:28]  Asia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, you're talking about people that take 50 to 75% of their oil from the Persian Gulf.
[00:50:39]  We were looking at an LNG increase this year of about 7%.
[00:50:45]  Well, you can write that off.
[00:50:47]  I think we've got real problems.
[00:50:49]  We haven't even talked about rare earths that are effectively going to be out of our reach unless we do things differently.
[00:50:55]  Not because we can't get rare earths, but we can't refine them.
[00:50:59]  And then in the United States, you've got to look at the very high probability that we're going to see electricity costs rise.
[00:51:05]  They're all natural gas dependent, higher gas prices at the pump.
[00:51:10]  We could be paying $8 to $10 at the pump per gallon in another, what, three, four, five, six months.
[00:51:17]  We talk about fertilizer, chemicals, feedstocks.
[00:51:20]  All of these things have a petroleum component, and we have to import some of this.
[00:51:25]  Monetary policy, you know, persistent energy-driven inflation is going to make it very hard for the Fed to cut interest rates.
[00:51:35]  So, on the whole, I think this is a global energy disruption that is going to lead us to energy poverty, at least in most of the world.

=== Boston Drill Purpose Exposed (05:43) ===

[00:51:44]  And it's going to have a terrible impact.
[00:51:46]  And how long will the entire world tolerate us?
[00:51:51]  Yeah.
[00:51:52]  Barry, I'm such a fan of the Colonel.
[00:51:56]  I think he gives us the best reports geopolitically of anyone in the world.
[00:52:01]  Your thoughts about his assessment, taking it at face value, your thoughts.
[00:52:06]  Oh, no, I mean, I agree with you.
[00:52:08]  I mean, he's dead on.
[00:52:10]  You know, tremendous insights, tremendous background, no question.
[00:52:13]  I'm wondering whether he might be open to segueing into our subject, our subject today, or at least our main subject, I thought.
[00:52:21]  Oh, yeah.
[00:52:22]  Which is October 7, which I've done a whole lot of work on.
[00:52:24]  And I've got a segue for you.
[00:52:27]  I'm looking at what Douglas McGregor said all the way back on January 23, 2025.
[00:52:35]  He was on Napolitano's podcast, and this is what he slipped in, Jim.
[00:52:40]  Just listen to this.
[00:52:42]  Quote, I think eventually it will come out that October 7 was allowed to happen, that October 7 was not a surprise.
[00:52:50]  There's plenty of evidence on the street right now.
[00:52:52]  And if that evidence comes out, I think Mr. Netanyahu and his friends are going to be in very serious trouble at home.
[00:53:00]  October 7 was used as an excuse to practice arson through the region.
[00:53:06]  He said that all the way back on January 23, 2025.
[00:53:09]  Now, if you fast forward to October of 2025, this is what he added in another interview.
[00:53:16]  This is McGregor.
[00:53:17]  I visited Gaza, the Israeli headquarters down there in February 2020, and I saw everything that they did.
[00:53:24]  The Israelis had that place so locked down tight, you can't even begin to imagine the quality of their intelligence.
[00:53:30]  But when the attack happened on October 7, one of the things I began thinking about immediately was how did this happen?
[00:53:36]  And within two weeks, it became pretty damn obvious to me that this was not an accident.
[00:53:41]  This was deliberate.
[00:53:42]  They let it happen.
[00:53:43]  And when I say they, who are we talking about?
[00:53:45]  We're talking about the leadership of the military, the state, the intelligence.
[00:53:49]  And then it became very obvious that this is a trigger to unleash the massive murder and expulsion campaign.
[00:53:55]  And that's what it has been.
[00:53:57]  So there's McGregor for you.
[00:54:00]  And he knows what he's talking about.
[00:54:03]  Gary, of course.
[00:54:07]  Let me just add to that.
[00:54:09]  You know, McGregor is still, in some ways, a rather conservative personage, right?
[00:54:15]  I mean, his background is thoroughly military.
[00:54:20]  So, you know, he repeats over and over again.
[00:54:22]  It's obvious to him they let this happen.
[00:54:24]  You know, Jim, I've spent a couple of days now just kind of focusing more on the work I've been on the information I've been collecting about October 7.
[00:54:33]  And it's become quite clear to me that this is not a let it happen on purpose.
[00:54:38]  This is a made it happen on purpose.
[00:54:41]  It's very clearly that.
[00:54:43]  No different than 9/11 for that matter, which of course Netanyahu himself was directly involved in.
[00:54:48]  So, I've got a whole bunch here that I think establishes when all of a sudden a whole bunch.
[00:54:53]  I've got, I mean, I'm not sure we'll have time to get to it all, but I think the facts readily establish that.
[00:55:00]  Um, this isn't my hub, this is made to happen on purpose, uh, for obvious reasons, right?
[00:55:06]  I don't have any doubt about it, I don't have any doubt about it.
[00:55:09]  The whole thing was my orchestra, and parts of it were fabricated.
[00:55:13]  They used you know this flyover footage of these gliders, it was all from other occasions, it was like a Hollywood-style event.
[00:55:23]  Listen, the very day it was occurring, I was playing video clips from IDF who are saying this is preposterous, this couldn't happen.
[00:55:33]  That Pence is so sensitive, they know when a pigeon craps on the fence.
[00:55:39]  So, that it was impossible that it happened without deliberate complicity by IDFB Netanyahu and the other leaders of Israel to justify what would become the slaughter of Palestine.
[00:55:53]  Barry, you're spot on.
[00:55:55]  I'm so looking forward to hearing everything you have to say right after this break.
[00:56:02]  We'll be right back with Barry Kirsten.
[00:56:18]  We'll be right back.
[00:56:27]  Was it a conspiracy?
[00:56:30]  Did you know that the police in Boston were broadcasting this is a drill, this is a drill on bullhoards during the marathon?
[00:56:38]  That the Boston Globe was tweeting that a demonstration bomb would be set off during the marathon for the benefit of bomb squad activities, and that one would be set off in one minute in front of the library, which happened as the Globe had announced.
[00:56:54]  Peering through the smoke, you can see bodies with missing arms and legs, but there was no blood.
[00:57:00]  The blood only showed up later and came out of a tube.
[00:57:04]  They used amputee actors and a studio quality smoke machine.
[00:57:08]  Don't let yourself be played.
[00:57:11]  Check out and nobody died in Boston either.

=== Haretz Soldiers Camera Evidence (14:36) ===

[01:01:11]  First thing I want to say is that my observation is, and it's somewhat understandable, although it started a while ago, long before the Iran war, of course, that it's almost as if the attention on October 7 has disappeared.
[01:01:28]  You know, most recently we can understand that, but let's just set this up by explaining just how central October 7 is.
[01:01:41]  You know, when this Iran war, for example, right?
[01:01:45]  It's all about Iran as the sponsor of terrorism.
[01:01:48]  Well, the symbol of terrorism against Israel is October 7.
[01:01:52]  That is their, that is their most salient kind of example of terrorism.
[01:01:56]  And that's what supposedly explains the attacks on Iran, for example.
[01:02:03]  And certainly, of course, is supposed to justify the genocide in Gaza.
[01:02:09]  I've got, I'm looking at it right now, Netanyahu's address in September of 2025 to the United Nations General Assembly.
[01:02:20]  He spends most of his time talking about October 7.
[01:02:23]  In September of 2025, let me give you some examples of what this guy says.
[01:02:28]  He starts off: the final remnants of Hamas are holed up in Gaza City.
[01:02:33]  Well, that ain't right.
[01:02:36]  They're incredibly viable.
[01:02:38]  I'm sure you'll have a comment about that.
[01:02:40]  So, but then he goes on like this: he says, they vowed to repeat the atrocities of October 7 again and again and again.
[01:02:50]  Now, that's just a pure invention.
[01:02:53]  That's just pure invention.
[01:02:54]  Of course, it is.
[01:02:55]  Then he goes on, that is why Israel must finish the job.
[01:03:00]  And that is why we want to do so as fast as possible.
[01:03:04]  And then he goes on: much of the world no longer remembers October 7, but we remember.
[01:03:08]  Israel remembers October 7.
[01:03:11]  You can remember October, excuse me, you can remember October 7 too.
[01:03:15]  He goes like this.
[01:03:16]  On October 7, Hamas carried out the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.
[01:03:23]  They slaughtered 1,200 innocent people.
[01:03:27]  Now, that's a lie, of course.
[01:03:29]  That's a total lie.
[01:03:30]  Well, for one thing, the 1,200 figure that they had to drop back to early on is an exaggeration.
[01:03:38]  The exact number in the social security records, we know.
[01:03:41]  I mean, Israel has pretty careful records.
[01:03:43]  Their social security registry reflects 1,139 deaths on October 7, at least one-third of which were soldiers and police, which you and I both know are extremely legitimate targets coming from a concentration camp, you know, an armed force coming out of a concentration camp.
[01:04:05]  I mean, under international law, of course, they are legitimate targets.
[01:04:09]  That's one-third of them.
[01:04:11]  Now, what that leaves is perhaps 600 or so civilians.
[01:04:22]  And of course, the description that Netanyahu invokes again in September of 2025: they beheaded men.
[01:04:31]  That's a lie.
[01:04:32]  There's no evidence that they beheaded men, none.
[01:04:35]  They raped women.
[01:04:36]  Of course, that whole systematic rape of women is a lie.
[01:04:38]  There's no evidence for that.
[01:04:40]  There's evidence quite to the contrary.
[01:04:43]  He goes on, they burned babies alive.
[01:04:46]  Now, we happen to know from this social security registry, there was a total of one baby killed on October 7, total of one.
[01:04:53]  But here's Netanyahu.
[01:04:54]  They burned babies alive.
[01:04:56]  They burned babies alive in front of their parents.
[01:04:59]  And then concludes, what monsters?
[01:05:03]  So there you have the centrality of October 7 at this point.
[01:05:09]  The other thing that becomes clear to me as I review this the past couple of days, sorry for that noise.
[01:05:19]  What I realize now is that there really is something to Netanyahu's determination to avoid an investigation of October 7.
[01:05:30]  And of course, the way he's doing that is quite explicit.
[01:05:34]  Basically, the position he's taking in that is as long as we're at war, it's no time to be investigating October 7.
[01:05:41]  But Jim, when I look at this comprehensively, the evidence of Netanyahu's complicity screams, which is to say that, unlike perhaps 9-11,
[01:05:56]  I think this is so much more clear as far as inside job goes in Netanyahu's complicity than 9-11, partly because Israeli media, I'm sure you've heard said this before and recognize, is considerably more honest and capable of exposures than American media.
[01:06:15]  There's a pretty big difference.
[01:06:16]  That's not to say that there's not some control and that there's a lot of official accounts that are trumpeted.
[01:06:20]  But One thing we can do if we have time is we can go over how Israeli media has ever since October 7 exposed instance after instance of unmistakable notice to the Netanyahu administration that this was coming.
[01:06:42]  Of course they do.
[01:06:43]  I mean, when I look over my summary, a force of the notice, it makes me sick, Jim.
[01:06:52]  because it's so damned obvious.
[01:06:55]  It's so obvious.
[01:06:56]  And of course, that's entirely covered up.
[01:07:01]  So what I'm suggesting is another reason for this, another reason why October 7 is still so central is because it does kind of compel Netanyahu to maintain these wars in Gaza and Lebanon and Iran so as to avoid the investigation that awaits.
[01:07:24]  I sent you the other day a column that was in Haretz written by a columnist named Adam Paz.
[01:07:32]  You would never have seen anything like this after 9-11, even though there was plenty of evidence to support such an opinion.
[01:07:45]  But what Adam Paz comes right out and says, I don't know if you remember what I sent you, is he comes right out and says, it is, this is, October 7 is a joint project between Hamas and the Netanyahu administration.
[01:07:59]  He comes right out and says it.
[01:08:01]  This was like a month after October 7.
[01:08:03]  Now, I have not seen anything so explicit since then.
[01:08:08]  I can't exactly account for that, although, no, I mean, I guess you could account for it.
[01:08:12]  Haretz has avoided that.
[01:08:14]  But what occurs to me is that they know.
[01:08:17]  Horetz has to know.
[01:08:18]  So many Israelis who care about it know.
[01:08:24]  And we're just waiting for the investigation that continues to get postponed successfully by Netanyahu.
[01:08:34]  Parenthetically, Adam Paz is a regular columnist for Haretz.
[01:08:38]  So this wasn't like some sort of freak exposure.
[01:08:42]  He's still very much around, continues to write for Haretz.
[01:08:46]  And he was very explicit merely a month after October 7.
[01:08:52]  I mean, he explicitly called it a my hop, and that's what it was.
[01:08:58]  Now, I thought one way of reminding everybody of October 7 might be to take a look at a documentary I'm going to recommend.
[01:09:10]  You probably know the name John Hanke, you might not.
[01:09:13]  Of course.
[01:09:15]  You know him?
[01:09:16]  Of course.
[01:09:17]  You've seen him on my show and congresses I've conducted.
[01:09:21]  He's contributing to a book I'm editing on Charlie Kirk.
[01:09:25]  Okay, well, that works.
[01:09:28]  So by any chance, have you seen his documentary titled, October 7 was an Inside Job?
[01:09:36]  I don't think I have, but tell us about it, Barry.
[01:09:38]  Wow.
[01:09:39]  Well, it's accessible at YouTube.
[01:09:41]  It's accessible at Rumble.
[01:09:43]  So any of your listeners can look it up after this program if they want.
[01:09:50]  I'll put a link in the show notes.
[01:09:52]  I'll show it to you.
[01:09:53]  I mean, I'll share it with you.
[01:09:55]  Really, all you need to do is listen to the first 45 minutes.
[01:10:00]  And it's all there.
[01:10:02]  So let me just cite this documentary because this is how it starts out.
[01:10:08]  It starts off.
[01:10:09]  He begins with the statements of two Israeli army veterans.
[01:10:14]  Let me, this is a quote that begins the documentary quote.
[01:10:18]  This is the Israeli Army veteran.
[01:10:21]  Israel is probably the most advanced surveillance state in the world, and the Gaza border is probably the most heavily surveilled.
[01:10:30]  I know all these things firsthand because I served on the Gaza border.
[01:10:35]  Do you know how long it takes an attack helicopter to get activated and blow up any one of those tractors or pickup trucks coming through the border fences?
[01:10:45]  Less than five minutes.
[01:10:47]  It could have been a matter of five minutes before the whole thing was upended.
[01:10:51]  I'm sorry, that's an inside job.
[01:10:54]  Unquote.
[01:10:55]  He then has a second veteran who states the following quote: I am an Israeli.
[01:11:03]  I live in Jerusalem.
[01:11:04]  I was serving in the army.
[01:11:06]  I was in an intelligence unit.
[01:11:09]  The Gaza fence is guarded 24-7, not only by patrolling cars, not only by cameras, not only by an electric fence, also by a laser that activates alarms.
[01:11:20]  Nobody can cross that fence.
[01:11:22]  You cannot enter Israel unless you have help from inside.
[01:11:26]  There was help from inside.
[01:11:28]  This operation was not made by Hamas.
[01:11:31]  The plan is to flatten Gaza.
[01:11:33]  Let's talk the truth.
[01:11:35]  That's how that documentary starts.
[01:11:39]  Now, one other thing I think I'd like to do, because this is what Hanke says during the first five minutes.
[01:11:47]  He just reminds us of what we're really talking about when we talk about this Gaza border fence.
[01:11:54]  This is Hankey speaking.
[01:11:56]  Let's look at these supposedly impenetrable border defenses they're talking about.
[01:12:01]  The wall is steel-reinforced concrete, 20 feet high and 22 miles long.
[01:12:08]  In front of it is a minor fence, and behind it is a $2 billion electrified steel fence.
[01:12:14]  Every few hundred yards, there are machine gun turrets patrolled 24-7 by soldiers, all of it backed up with an array of devices for detecting anyone approaching the fence.
[01:12:26]  These devices include radar systems with cameras that cover the entire territory of the Gaza Strip, night vision cameras, a system of lasers for detecting movement, super high-def cameras that can see faces up from six miles away.
[01:12:41]  The cameras are located atop surveillance towers.
[01:12:44]  Many of the cameras are mounted in balloons, allowing the spotters to see deep into Hamas's backyard.
[01:12:50]  A small army of spotters monitor these cameras intensively 24-7, and the spotters reported that they could see training camps.
[01:12:58]  I'll go into that more, because what they reported over many months basically was Hamas training to carry out what happened on October 7th.
[01:13:08]  Before you're out of here, he goes on, before you're out of range of these cameras, you're in the sea.
[01:13:12]  The cameras send a picture of any intruder to the spotters, who then send the information to the soldiers who operate the machine gun towers by remote control with devastating effect.
[01:13:25]  These machine gun turrets should have exterminated the Hamas invaders when they first approached the fence, but the soldiers manning them had been evacuated before the attack on the morning of October 7.
[01:13:37]  And we're going to talk about unmistakable stand down going on.
[01:13:41]  Unmistakable.
[01:13:43]  But let me just continue with Hanke.
[01:13:45]  The whole perimeter is patrolled 24 hours a day on the ground, including tanks and from the air, of course.
[01:13:52]  And backing this whole system is a system of 28 Apache helicopters capable of flying 200 miles an hour, firing 600 explosive, 30 millimeter machine gun rounds per minute, plus hellfire missiles.
[01:14:06]  Paratroopers on call, ready to be flown in anywhere in minutes.
[01:14:11]  The military base near the Gaza border is capable of responding within minutes.
[01:14:16]  So if any one of these multiple standard defense measures had been in operation on the morning of October 7, the attacks would have had zero chance of breaching the wall alive.
[01:14:29]  So that sort of sets the stage for this absurdity.
[01:14:33]  I want to segue to an article that showed up in the New York Times at the end of December 2023.
[01:14:42]  The title of the article in the New York Times, Jim, was Where Was the Israeli Military?
[01:14:49]  So this is the concluding paragraphs of this article.
[01:14:54]  Major Ben Zion, the reservist, said that his paratrooper unit left its base in central Israel, not far from Tel Aviv, in a convoy at about 1:30.
[01:15:07]  That's seven hours later.
[01:15:10]  But check this out: they mobilized on their own because there was no formal call-up order.
[01:15:18]  He, quote, this is what Major Ben Zion says.
[01:15:22]  He, well, no, no, this is a quote from the article.
[01:15:25]  Zion expected to see the roads packed with soldiers and equipment and armored vehicles heading south.
[01:15:33]  He goes on to say, the roads were empty seven hours into the fighting.
[01:15:40]  He turned to the reservists next to him and asked, where's the IDF?

=== Provocation Cash Mosque Triggers (09:38) ===

[01:15:47]  I mean, this is, I mean, this is so palpable, right?
[01:15:53]  Next thing I just want to immediately establish.
[01:15:58]  This was in Haaretz on February 13, 2025.
[01:16:02]  So it didn't come out right away.
[01:16:04]  But I want to quote from this article.
[01:16:06]  Qatari officials claimed that Israel asked Doha several times on the eve of the October 7 massacre to increase the transfers to Gaza.
[01:16:22]  And when we're talking about transfers to Gaza, we're talking about suitcases full of cash.
[01:16:27]  Cash, mind you.
[01:16:30]  I mean, why cash?
[01:16:32]  That's how you buy weapons.
[01:16:33]  You buy weapons with cash.
[01:16:35]  Israeli officials say in retrospect that the financial aid freed up resources for Hamas to ramp up preparations for its attack on Israel.
[01:16:46]  Right up through the eve of October 7.
[01:16:49]  Just to repeat, Qatar is being urged to increase this financial aid to Hamas.
[01:16:59]  You know, there's that documentary, maybe you've seen it, called the Bibi Files.
[01:17:07]  I don't think it's as flagrant as it should be.
[01:17:09]  It mostly concentrates on his corruption, his corruption interrogations.
[01:17:13]  But at one point, Netanyahu says he's quoting the Godfather, right?
[01:17:19]  And Netanyahu says, quote, right out of the Godfather, keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.
[01:17:28]  And that was his strategy.
[01:17:32]  These cash payments, Hamas, were going on for many years, all the way up to October 7.
[01:17:41]  So now, I mean, what we can now talk about if you'd like is, well, let me cite the provocation.
[01:17:51]  I mean, one of the main provocations.
[01:17:53]  It's a clear provocation.
[01:17:56]  You're familiar with the Al-Aqsa Mosque and otherwise known as the Temple Mount.
[01:18:03]  And I'd like to remind everybody that it was just days before the October 7th attack that Jewish settlers stormed the mosque.
[01:18:15]  I believe Ben Gevir was among them.
[01:18:19]  And I mean, Egyptian mediators immediately pointed out that this was going to have an immense impact on events along the Gaza border.
[01:18:29]  They said it right away.
[01:18:31]  You know, this is reminiscent of the provocation that was conducted by Ariel Sharon back in 2000.
[01:18:40]  You're probably familiar with it, right?
[01:18:43]  That's where he basically invades Al-As, the mosque.
[01:18:49]  And that becomes understood to be what triggered the second Intifada.
[01:18:59]  That is to say, his intrusion upon the mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, in the Muslim religion.
[01:19:10]  So very, very deliberate provocation whose result was perfectly foreseeable.
[01:19:20]  And Ben Gavir is in the thick of it.
[01:19:23]  I can move on now, if you'd like, to, I mean, the foresight, the notice begins, well, the notice of this potential, of course, was very extant years before October 7.
[01:19:40]  But let's look at, let's start with 2022.
[01:19:45]  You probably know this, maybe some of your listeners.
[01:19:47]  It got a fair bit of publicity, even in mainstream American press.
[01:19:52]  The Israeli government secured a set of the Hamas plans that was codenamed Jericho Wall.
[01:20:01]  It described the battle plan of essentially what happened on October 7.
[01:20:07]  This battle plan was resubmitted to the Israeli high command in August of 2023, and we're supposed to believe was not taken seriously.
[01:20:21]  So they had the plan.
[01:20:22]  I mean, they had the exact plan, the Hamas plans.
[01:20:26]  They knew exactly, I mean, it completely set out what they were about.
[01:20:30]  Another sort of something that confuses me to this moment is to why, what Hamas exactly was up to, how this fits into the grand plan.
[01:20:41]  But just listen to this.
[01:20:43]  In April of 2022, Hamas produced a 30-part series called Fist of the Free, which was screened in the Gaza Strip.
[01:20:53]  The scenes in this series basically track what actually happened on October 7.
[01:21:02]  And that was a 30-part series that was aired in the Gaza Strip.
[01:21:08]  And then, of course, what we have right about this time, you know, middle of 2022, is these training exercises, large-scale training exercises near the Gazan border.
[01:21:21]  These are intensive drills that simulate border incursions and mass kidnappings.
[01:21:30]  Hamas posted videos of these drills to the internet.
[01:21:34]  And the Israeli security services knew this.
[01:21:39]  I mean, in July of 2022, an IDF intelligence officer prepared a briefing titled The Mass Invasion Plan of Hamas that outlined exactly what happened on October 7 and included his report: quote: This invasion constitutes the gravest threat that IDF forces are facing in the defense of Israel.
[01:22:03]  That's a July 22 briefing.
[01:22:09]  Now, of course, These trainings continued and became not much more intense a month before October 7.
[01:22:22]  ABC News, this is really something.
[01:22:28]  ABC News reported, well, they're doing a report on what's called Unit 414.
[01:22:34]  You know what Unit 414 is, maybe not by that name, but that's the, those are the spotters that we've heard a lot about, mostly female, who were hysterically demanding attention to these training exercises all the way up to October 7.
[01:22:52]  And it bears mention that a lot of these spotters, well, a lot of these spotters were the first victims of the invasion.
[01:23:01]  I mean, basically, the IDF left them hanging out there despite all of their efforts to draw attention to what was about to happen.
[01:23:09]  So a lot of them die on October 7.
[01:23:11]  And then a lot of the balance of them to a large extent became hostages.
[01:23:15]  That's what happened to Unit 414.
[01:23:19]  And they were reporting unusual activity in Gaza on a daily basis.
[01:23:26]  The running joke on the base they occupied precisely was who would be on duty the day Hamas attacked.
[01:23:37]  ABC News reports that this unit reported Hamas burying explosives near the border.
[01:23:49]  It was ignored.
[01:23:52]  Maybe I should say that again.
[01:23:54]  This is ABC News.
[01:23:56]  These spotters are reporting Hamas installing explosives, burying explosives near the border, and it's ignored.
[01:24:08]  Come on now.
[01:24:09]  Come on now.
[01:24:13]  Let's see.
[01:24:15]  The Financial Times in November of 2023 reported on the detailed report weeks before the attack to the highest ranking intelligence officer in the Southern command containing specific warnings, including the Hamas was training to blow up border posts, enter Israeli territory, take over Kibad Steam, take hostages.
[01:24:41]  This report predicted that the attack was imminent.
[01:24:50]  Let's see.
[01:24:51]  Then you have, Jim, what's called Unit 88200.
[01:24:58]  This is the IDF's military intelligence wing.
[01:25:01]  And they're issuing report after report of their observations of preparation for this, very explicit preparations.
[01:25:11]  But it appears to me that perhaps the highest up in 8200 were doing the bidding of the Netanyahu administration.
[01:25:20]  And here's an excellent example.

=== Monitoring Hamas Handheld Traffic (04:58) ===

[01:25:26]  In late 2002, Unit 8200 makes the decision to stop monitoring Hamas's handheld radio traffic.
[01:25:39]  The Israeli civilians near the border were also monitoring these signals.
[01:25:46]  Barry, Barry, Barry, hold that thought.
[01:25:49]  We'll continue with your very convincing expose of October 7th as an inside job right after this break.com.
[01:26:18]  We'll be right back.

[01:28:39]  That Osama had nothing to do with it.
[01:28:41]  That the twin towers were blown apart by a sophisticated arrangement of mini or micro nukes.
[01:28:47]  That Building 7 collapsed seven hours later because of explosives planted in the building.
[01:28:51]  Barry Jennings was there.
[01:28:53]  He heard them go off and felt himself stepping over dead people.
[01:28:57]  The U.S. Geological Survey conducted studies of dust gathered from 35 locations in Lower Manhattan and found elements that would not have been there had this not been a nuclear event.
[01:29:08]  Ironically, that means the government's own evidence contradicts the government's official position.
[01:29:13]  9-11 was brought to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons of the Department of Defense, and the Massad.

=== 1973 Festival Commission Advocate (15:34) ===

[01:30:24]  What I was talking about before the break is Israeli civilians monitoring Hamas's handheld radio traffic.
[01:30:35]  This is just another transparent example of what's really going on here.
[01:30:41]  So they go ahead and report that Hamas is practicing the breaching of the fence and stuff.
[01:30:53]  When they reported what was going on to the IDF, their concerns were dismissed as fantasies.
[01:30:59]  And then in April of 2023, IDF decides to terminate this group's ability to monitor Hamas's wireless traffic.
[01:31:13]  I mean, can you imagine?
[01:31:14]  I mean, it's so in your face, right?
[01:31:17]  So there's an individual who happens to be a resident of nearby kibbutz.
[01:31:24]  His name happens to be Raphael Hayan.
[01:31:27]  And for years, he monitored Hamas radio networks and passed on life-saving information to Israel's security forces.
[01:31:37]  That was for years.
[01:31:38]  In an interview with Israeli Israel National News, he says, if he had been allowed to continue listening to the enemy, he could have prevented the October 7 event.
[01:31:50]  But he says that six months before the massacre, his listening devices were taken away from him.
[01:31:58]  And in fact, in August, on August 20, right, less than two months before the attack, inspectors came to his home to make sure that he had complied with the orders.
[01:32:10]  I mean, come on now.
[01:32:13]  Let me go on.
[01:32:15]  During the summer of 2023, it's now been exposed.
[01:32:20]  A Gazan source for Shinbet notified his handlers that Hamas was planning a major attack in early October.
[01:32:30]  A source, quote, a source in Israel's Shinbet Security Service that operated within the Gaza Strip relays specific information that Hamas was planning a significant attack at the beginning of October.
[01:32:42]  This was on Israel's Channel 12 news.
[01:32:46]  The Washington Post in December 2023 reported precisely this.
[01:32:51]  In August, weeks before the attack, new intelligence pointed to an imminent attack.
[01:32:58]  Communities on the Israeli side of the border were never notified.
[01:33:02]  We have to talk about that.
[01:33:04]  We have to talk about this absence of notification.
[01:33:07]  But before we do, let's just continue a little bit further with this unbelievable degree of notice.
[01:33:15]  A few weeks before October 7, the Unit 8200 that I've already mentioned presented a detailed report to superiors that predicted the attack.
[01:33:28]  These predictions were dismissed, quote, as fantasies.
[01:33:34]  All right.
[01:33:36]  Another thing that I looked a little bit further into, it's kind of interesting.
[01:33:40]  I think we still have enough time to look at it.
[01:33:43]  You know, if we go back to 1973, you probably know more about that than I do.
[01:33:51]  But you might recall that 1973 was said to be a matter of Israel reacting to the attacks initiated by Egypt and Syria.
[01:34:11]  You know, what comes out what comes out later is that Kissinger had explicitly warned Golda Meir that if Israel struck first, it would not receive American military or diplomatic support.
[01:34:26]  So, curiously enough, what we have in the 1973 example is also conclusive evidence of notice, right?
[01:34:42]  I mean, a very, very good example is 11 days before the 1973 war began, King Hussein of Jordan met secretly with Golda Meir at a Mossad facility outside of Tel Aviv, and he warned Marie Meir about the coordinated offensive that was about to take place.
[01:35:04]  There's other examples of that kind of notice.
[01:35:08]  Meir, of course, pretends that she had no notice.
[01:35:14]  It's not any more valid than Israel's claim that they had no notice of October 7th.
[01:35:19]  It's no more obvious, no more valid.
[01:35:22]  But listen to this.
[01:35:24]  The Israelis set up what was called the Agronaut Commission.
[01:35:29]  I don't know if you've ever heard of that, but it was the purpose of this commission was to investigate the failures leading up to the 1973 war.
[01:35:41]  And so one of the main things that came out of this commission was the creation of what was called the IDF's Devil's Advocate Intelligence, which was whose function was to deal with failures to anticipate, well, the 1973 attacks and such other attacks.
[01:36:11]  That was its purpose.
[01:36:12]  That's why it was set up, precisely because of this supposed failure in 1973.
[01:36:19]  So come to find out.
[01:36:24]  This devil's advocate unit throughout September 2023, four times in the three weeks leading up to October 7, urged that Hamas was likely to launch a major attack in the near term.
[01:36:46]  This devil's advocate report reports were widely distributed among all decision makers in the military and the political echelon, including on September 21st and September 26th.
[01:37:03]  On the 27th, the head of the devil's advocate unit repeated his arguments at a weekly debate attended by IDF's head of military intelligence.
[01:37:15]  Now, for Israel to ignore the devil's advocate, right, precisely created in order to deal with, to have an independent view of imminent attacks is just more proof of what's going on here.
[01:37:35]  Let's see.
[01:37:36]  Yeah, we still have time.
[01:37:39]  Because I mean, it just goes on and on.
[01:37:41]  I mean, you know, you had three observation balloons.
[01:37:46]  I mentioned Hanky mentions them in the beginning of his documentary, whose function is to monitor the Gaza border.
[01:37:52]  They broke down a couple of weeks before 10-7 and were never replaced.
[01:37:59]  The spotters and commanders in the border units asked for them to be replaced, and the repairs were quote postponed.
[01:38:12]  Channel 12 News, Israel's Channel 12 News, reported leaders of communities in southern Israel received WhatsApp notifications.
[01:38:20]  We're not sure of the source over the past over the weeks just preceding October 7.
[01:38:30]  This is the messages.
[01:38:31]  The coming holidays, right, which was Sukkas and Yom Kippur, will be black holidays.
[01:38:40]  The communities around Gaza will be conquered.
[01:38:45]  Military resources responded to these WhatsApp messages saying nothing to worry about here.
[01:38:52]  Everything is fine.
[01:38:54]  I mean, perhaps I've covered this enough.
[01:38:57]  I mean, we also have actually close to October 7 another document exposed by Haratz in June of 2024, which is a document from the again from the military intelligence's 8200 unit, which began circulating on September 19.
[01:39:19]  And that specifically predicted exactly what happened on October 7.
[01:39:27]  Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry, listen.
[01:39:29]  Yes.
[01:39:30]  This is very thorough, very detailed, very comprehensive.
[01:39:34]  Now, it's clear the so-called Hamas attack plan was actually a script.
[01:39:42]  It was a script.
[01:39:44]  And they were taking measures like eliminating the observation balloons to make sure that there wasn't any effort to disrupt the script.
[01:39:55]  What I want to know is how deeply was Hamas involved?
[01:39:59]  Was this a joint Hamas IDF orchestrated by a BB effort so that Hamas could be blamed for atrocities they hadn't actually committed?
[01:40:12]  How deeply was Hamas complicit in the deception?
[01:40:17]  That's the question.
[01:40:18]  Well, yeah, I mean, that's what I suggested to you a couple of days ago in an email is the question that I'm still asking.
[01:40:26]  I, you know, because, you know, let's face it, Hamas is involved in what happened on October 7th.
[01:40:32]  All right.
[01:40:33]  And, you know, and we can assume, this can't be debatable, that Mossad had infiltrated Hamas in Gaza.
[01:40:43]  I mean, we know of very salient examples of precisely that that have been established.
[01:40:51]  We haven't identified the particular members of Hamas who were infiltrating on behalf of Mossad, but they have to be there.
[01:40:59]  And near as I can put together, Jim, near as I can put together, Hamas, Hamas was, yeah, I mean, Hamas was jointly involved in perpetrating this.
[01:41:25]  What I picture is that you could put certain people with influence on Hamas.
[01:41:31]  They don't even have to be the highest up, who were in the position to convince The fighters who entered into the October 7 rebellion in good faith to do exactly what they did.
[01:41:46]  But it leaves this question on the subject that you're raising.
[01:41:51]  I posed it to you a couple of days ago.
[01:41:54]  How do you explain these training exercises that Hamas had to know were being carefully and intensively surveilled by Israel?
[01:42:07]  How do you explain that?
[01:42:08]  They went on for months and months and became very intensive in the month before and explicit, I mean, were explicitly following the plan that Israel had called the Jericho plan, right?
[01:42:21]  So they basically are rehearsing the plan that Israel had, Hamas's plan that was secured in 2022 and was represented in August of 2013.
[01:42:32]  And they can see the training exercises.
[01:42:34]  Hamas knows that, and it tracks exactly what the plan was.
[01:42:37]  Now, you know, I mean, that mystifies me.
[01:42:40]  That does mystify me.
[01:42:42]  I can't, I mean, I can't quite reason how that would work, why that would work.
[01:42:51]  I can't.
[01:42:52]  If you have an idea, let's discuss it.
[01:42:53]  But there's something I definitely want to cover before we run out of time.
[01:43:00]  And that is that, in my view, particularly after the research I've done just the last couple of days, the Nenyao administration deliberately sacrificed 364 dead at the Nova festival, right?
[01:43:22]  That was a deliberate, that was deliberate.
[01:43:24]  That had to be deliberate.
[01:43:25]  I can go over the facts that led up to the Nova festival, right?
[01:43:28]  But that's where the Rave concert is taking place.
[01:43:31]  And that's where most of your civilian casualties occur, right?
[01:43:39]  The victims are among the folks that were attending this music festival.
[01:43:47]  The other conclusion that's inescapable is that the Nenyao administration also sacrificed the people in the kibbutzim, the nearby kibbutzim, who died on October 7.
[01:44:01]  And I think what's a very sound way of looking at this is that part of the plan for October 7 is to make sure that there are sufficient number of deaths so as to bolster the pretext, right?
[01:44:23]  I mean, it's right, of course, it's right.
[01:44:27]  It's part of the same strategy that underlines all of the fabrications about the atrocities, right?
[01:44:33]  Remember, we had fabrications of atrocities immediately.
[01:44:38]  And the purpose, of course, is to bolster the pretext for genocide in Gaza.
[01:44:44]  But this is something I haven't seen anybody look at as carefully as I just have.
[01:44:55]  Okay, one thing you can see, there's a very good record of it now, is how this Nova festival was approved.
[01:45:03]  What you see is this, all up and down the command of IDF.
[01:45:10]  The position they took was this concert is too much of a risk, should not take place.
[01:45:16]  And then when you read Israeli media, this is how it reads.
[01:45:21]  So far, without a clear picture of how this happened, somewhere or other, all of the IDF recommendations against allowing Nova to take place was overruled.
[01:45:35]  And in fact, the date that put those concert goers present on October 7, that date was approved two days before by evidently very high up in the Netanyahu administration.
[01:45:53]  That's, I mean, that's that establishes what's going on here.

=== Absurd Sacrifice Political Justification (10:38) ===

[01:45:59]  Now, let me, I'm going to come back to that in a second, but I've got to share this with you because I did a little bit of work on this including today.
[01:46:08]  You know, the New York Times reported, Jim, that it took the IDF 20 hours to get to the kibbutz name is Kafar Azha.
[01:46:24]  It took them 20 hours from the attack to get to kibbutz Afar.
[01:46:36]  Kibbutz Afar lost 62 people, 62 people died.
[01:46:44]  And the IDF just didn't show up.
[01:46:46]  Now, check this out, Jim.
[01:46:49]  I juxtaposed that fact with the following fact.
[01:47:00]  Let me just find the exact reference.
[01:47:04]  At 10:50 a.m. on October 7, before this is around, this is right about the time, 10:50 a.m., that Netanyahu declares war against Hamas.
[01:47:21]  At the same time, the IDF announced it was then and there bombing the strip.
[01:47:29]  That's 10:50 a.m.
[01:47:31]  They're bombing Gaza.
[01:47:32]  Now, check this out.
[01:47:35]  What that tells us, Jim, I'd love to hear a comment from you, is that the IDF did not come to the rescue of kibbutz Kafar Aza until 15 hours after the IDF began bombing Gaza.
[01:47:53]  So you've got Hamas running around this kibbutz, right?
[01:47:59]  For 15 hours after the IDF decided to occupy itself with bombing Gaza.
[01:48:06]  And by the way, you also have this with the Nova concert.
[01:48:10]  The Nova concertgoers were not evacuated by the IDF until four hours after the IDF bombing of Gaza began.
[01:48:20]  What is that, Jim?
[01:48:22]  I mean, I mean, what is that?
[01:48:25]  That's Bibi just wanted to make sure there were enough sacrifices to give a political justification for raising Gaza.
[01:48:36]  I mean, I don't think there's anything really mysterious here.
[01:48:39]  And the numbers, he wanted to run up the numbers, very much like 9-11.
[01:48:44]  They want to have a number that was roughly equivalent to Pearl Harbor, around 3,000.
[01:48:49]  They got around 3,000, but it was all by design.
[01:48:53]  Here you had, he's going to justify this mass slaughter of Gazans, over 2 million.
[01:49:00]  He wants this to be as horrific as it could be.
[01:49:03]  And then, of course, he has to exaggerate with the baby killing and all the other nonsense that didn't take place.
[01:49:10]  But obviously, the IDF could have responded in five minutes, 15 minutes, Max.
[01:49:17]  I mean, there's no possible way they wouldn't have been on the job on the spot immediately had it not been by design.
[01:49:26]  Exactly right.
[01:49:27]  You know, check this out, Jim.
[01:49:30]  My source in this case happens to be artificial intelligence, right?
[01:49:34]  Which helps me Google artificial intelligence.
[01:49:37]  I got it out of that.
[01:49:38]  And of course, a lot of times what you hear on Google AI, it's not the best, is the official line.
[01:49:42]  You hear a lot of official lines on Google AI.
[01:49:44]  But listen to this.
[01:49:45]  This is what they told me.
[01:49:47]  The majority of residents in Kibbutz, Kefar, Azhar, were historically and then aligned with the left wing of the Israeli political spectrum.
[01:49:58]  In the 2022 elections, very few residents of Atkibutz supported the right-wing coalition, Netanyahu's right-wing coalition.
[01:50:08]  The residents were, by and large, secular and involved in peace activism.
[01:50:14]  Some notably volunteered to drive six Palestinians from Gaza to Israeli hospitals for medical treatment.
[01:50:23]  That's who got killed.
[01:50:24]  Those are the people that got killed.
[01:50:25]  And of course, this also applies to the rave concert.
[01:50:29]  I mean, who goes to a rave concert?
[01:50:31]  It's young people who, you know, are in that small percentage of Israelis at this point who realize, you know, who realize the genocide and oppose it.
[01:50:43]  And those are the people that were sacrificed.
[01:50:47]  It's quite appalling, isn't it?
[01:50:53]  Two birds with one to stone.
[01:50:55]  I mean, you sacrifice.
[01:50:56]  That's exactly right.
[01:50:57]  I mean, but this is Netanyahu killing Israeli citizens.
[01:50:59]  That's what it is.
[01:51:00]  Yeah.
[01:51:00]  I mean, that's what it is.
[01:51:02]  Of course.
[01:51:02]  They don't have any hesitation killing other Jews if it promotes the agenda.
[01:51:08]  There you go.
[01:51:09]  But again, as you say, I mean, it's political opponents.
[01:51:12]  That's who he gets rid of.
[01:51:13]  You know, John Mirsheimer, who's, I think, a very good source, along with a conservative.
[01:51:22]  You know, he's conservative.
[01:51:24]  He, you know, and for that matter, I mean, Mir Sharmer is heard to say, he's heard to say that October 7 was a surprise.
[01:51:31]  Now, of course, we know that's ridiculous.
[01:51:34]  He's paying some lip service at that point.
[01:51:36]  But Mir Sharmer comes out in the same podcast and he says, most of the civilians he killed on October 7 were killed by Israel.
[01:51:45]  Most of the civilians were.
[01:51:48]  By the way, he's not counting, he's not talking about Netanyahu deliberately killing these people.
[01:51:54]  He's talking about Apache helicopters, hellfire missiles, right?
[01:51:59]  Right.
[01:51:59]  Wiping out swaths of concert goers, right?
[01:52:04]  You see the photo of this circulated quite a bit.
[01:52:08]  And it was not by accident.
[01:52:10]  Yes.
[01:52:11]  Not by accident.
[01:52:12]  No, yeah.
[01:52:13]  Of course not.
[01:52:13]  I mean, you know, how about those photos, Jim, where you see all of these cars that evidently were driven to the concert by the concert goers, and they're piled up and they're totally burnt out, right?
[01:52:24]  Hamas didn't have firepower to do that.
[01:52:27]  That's the work of a hellfire missile.
[01:52:29]  Right?
[01:52:30]  And of course, you have the admission.
[01:52:33]  Here's one I'm looking at right here.
[01:52:35]  This is retired Israeli Air Force General Naf Erez.
[01:52:42]  He is later heard to say, in place was, and I quote, a mass Hannibal.
[01:52:49]  Perhaps your listeners know what a mass Hannibal means.
[01:52:53]  But of course, that's the doctrine that's been extant in Israel for a long time: that in order to avoid hostages being taken, you destroy the kidnappers together with the Israelis who are being taken.
[01:53:09]  That's the Hannibal directive.
[01:53:11]  And here's a retired Air Force general conceding this was a mass Hannibal.
[01:53:16]  So, yes, I mean, Mir Shahma's conclusion that most of the civilians were killed by Israel is manifest.
[01:53:28]  Yeah.
[01:53:30]  We can spend a little, I mean, we don't have much time, but I mean, one of the things we could do if you want is we can compare, we compare it in 10-7 to 9-11.
[01:53:40]  You know, Richard Gage, actually, you're probably aware of this.
[01:53:42]  He hasn't talked about it lately, but Richard went out of his way to prepare a two-hour presentation precisely about the parallels between 10-7 and 9-11.
[01:53:52]  And we need to remind ourselves, Netanyahu was directly involved in 9-11.
[01:53:58]  I'll remind your listeners, it's established as a fact that Larry Silverstein, the owner-lessee of the World Trade Center, was, according to his own words, in weekly calls with Netanyahu leading up to 9-11.
[01:54:15]  Silverstein, you know, stated that.
[01:54:20]  And so, what are some of the similarities?
[01:54:23]  I mean, the similarities are clear.
[01:54:25]  This is, well, let me point out, almost immediately after October 7, Netanyahu began referring to October 7 as, quote, Israel's 9-11.
[01:54:38]  You remember that?
[01:54:40]  That's exactly what happened.
[01:54:41]  But then, Secretary of State Blinken asserted soon after October 7 that the October 7 attacks were, and I quote, the equivalent of 10 9-11s.
[01:54:54]  So we got Blinken involved.
[01:54:57]  And then we got this.
[01:54:58]  And then on October 18, Biden is visiting Israel and he proclaims that, quote, for a nation the size of Israel, October 7 was like 15 9-11s.
[01:55:13]  Just absurd.
[01:55:14]  Just absurd.
[01:55:16]  Well, well, particularly when you know what 9-11 was.
[01:55:18]  Of course.
[01:55:20]  Right.
[01:55:20]  I mean, but you know, Jim, think about it now.
[01:55:24]  Think about it later.
[01:55:25]  There's something to be made up.
[01:55:26]  There's something to be sort of propounded here.
[01:55:32]  The inside job that is 10-7 is in very many ways more obvious than 9-11.
[01:55:39]  Oh, sure.
[01:55:40]  I mean, because, well, the part that I didn't touch on, but has to be touched on in the last minute or two, is that stand down order is established.
[01:55:50]  We know there is a stand down order.
[01:55:52]  Let me just turn to how we know.
[01:55:54]  Let me just turn to how we know.
[01:55:56]  Barry, Barry, Barry, I can't thank you enough for this very thorough and detailed exposition about October 7th as an inside job.
[01:56:04]  Everyone, spend as much time with your family, your friend, the people you love and care about.
[01:56:10]  We do not know how much time we have left.
[01:56:14]  You say wisely.
