America's Survival at Stake 00:15:22
The Truth versus News Incorporated.
Here we are on April 7th, 2026.
I was filming at the time that some major news was supposed to happen in the world with Trump and another country and other things.
But anyway, we're here with the best people giving us the latest update here with Jim Fetcher, the professor of Zoom out of Wisconsin.
He's written fantastic books that everybody should have in the library.
Oh yeah, that's just hide them away from people here.
And this is a super host for 25 years of Food vs. News.
We have Brian Davidson all the way from Houston, Texas, I guess.
And he's a private eye and just really knows how to dig through the facts and be able to tell them, well, Joaquin Magropion is camped out in Bali back in Indonesia.
And he has a different perspective on the world where he goes.
write truthfully about what's happening in the USA without, I guess, without fear.
So welcome, gentlemen.
We are all running and having a good time now.
So, Jim, I guess the latest now is that we're going back to the Stone Age about destruction by land.
So that's where we're at.
Yeah, it's a very serious situation we're in and Trump's Branded chicken, I think, may just have backfired massively.
Yeah.
We have the reports about a systematic destruction of all of civilization of Iran.
This is the most monstrous claim ever made by an American president in history, perhaps by any leader in world history.
It is grotesque.
Threatening the systematic destruction of Iran's civilian infrastructure in the midst of war escalation.
We're talking about.
A war crime of an unprecedented scale.
We're talking about a national genocide of over 90 million people declared to be the purposeful intention of the President of the United States.
This is the most grotesque, unwarranted, corrupt, immoral action of my life.
In fact, I dare say, of any American citizen's life.
We have Russ Winter calling him out, but this was really just about the attempt to rescue the downed pilot, which turned out to be a mini fiasco.
Apparently, that was an effort to try to grab uranium.
It was never going to be successful.
We lost two C 130s, helicopters galore.
Who knows how many men may have actually died.
Meanwhile, the Iranian Missile Command, and this is where Trump.
May have colossally blundered.
Hal Turner reports.
Iranian Missile Command gives strike orders.
IRPG Command.
We announce the end to targeting restrictions.
We announce the end of all targeting restrictions.
We will strike infrastructure in a manner that will deprive the United States and regional countries of oil and gas resources for years to come.
Orders have been transmitted to local missile bases, and operation will begin immediately.
You can believe what Iran says.
You cannot believe.
What Donald Trump says, and here we have the New York Times, Iran War Live Update.
US and Iran agreed to ceasefire, avoiding Trump's threat of imminent devastation.
What he published was, apparently, the claim that he wouldn't attack if Iran agreed to a ceasefire.
Well, Iran is not agreeing to any ceasefire.
This is just more nonsense from a guy who has lost his way, running the risk of exposing the world to catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.
Joaquin, your thoughts.
Yeah, we're in uncharted waters as far as history goes.
And I would even say, yes, perhaps even world history, certainly United States history.
We've never had a president this wack.
Go ahead, Joaquin.
Ever go ahead, not kidding, Brian.
Your thoughts, much mindful of placing tactical nukes on Iran.
I'm pretty sure that they are willing to go that route, and so yeah, we're on the edge, we're on the edge, never before.
Have in our life, anyway, for sure, ever been this close to the edge of all time death for a lot of millions of people?
I mean, this is insanity.
We've never seen this kind of insanity come from the federal government of the United States before.
So, yeah, you know, as I say that, we have to try and keep a state of calm in the storm that we're in right now and not allow ourselves to just.
Over the top with emotional stress, where we're getting crazy with other people around us.
But that's what it's coming down to.
It's really going to be a test of strength and will for us to preserve ourselves in this madness that's beyond our scope.
Because, you know, I mean, we have billions of people now on this earth feeling very powerless over the destiny of them and humankind.
So, You know, it's just unbelievable.
This is a lot.
Now, if we look at the pattern of Trump, he puts out all those threats and then backs away at the last second.
So, I mean, we're still, and then he's trying to save face with, yeah, they agreed to the ceasefire, you know, which is all bullshit, of course.
But we hope, obviously, that he doesn't launch the big strikes to take out all the infrastructure that runs the country, energy.
If you don't have that in a modern society, you're not going to live.
The people are going to die.
And so that's what is at stake directly for Iran.
But the bigger picture is we're all at stake now because we have a, I want to say the fucking word, In the White House, a madman that's out of control.
He knows that he's at the end of his rope with the whole pedophilia thing catching up to him.
He knows.
And then Netanyahu's in the same situation.
He's going to go to prison.
So rather than avoid prison for these guys, these madmen, psychopaths, they will be willing to wage war to the ultimate of their strength with their military weapons.
And then we have a situation where.
Where Trump and Hegseth have been firing all these generals and admirals now.
I think the number is 20 or something like that of the top people that are unwilling to follow these unconstitutional, insane orders.
They're unwilling.
Thank God they got a little bit of mental health to know right from wrong and put their foot down, but they're now out.
So, I mean, eventually you go down and you reach those psychopaths like them who want just power.
And they're going to go ahead and go with the order of bombing.
So, yeah, we're real close to the edge, folks.
Hang on.
Brian.
Well, I do think this is a battle for survival in the sense that Iran's current leadership wants to survive, and that's their only goal.
And America's current leadership wants to survive because this thing is escalating.
And I can't tell if we're the ones that are escalating it or if it's escalating in response to the things that we're doing.
I get the feeling that when you define victory as we must replace this regime, it becomes very easy for the current regime to harden up their position and control the outcome of things and drag it out much longer.
We've known for weeks that US military presence on the ground was not going to be something that was going to be successful.
And I think the real story under the story here is that, you know, we're getting all this propaganda that can't be verified that's coming out that pilots are being.
Saved after their airplanes crashed, and that, you know, we've burnt our own air bases because we can't get our stuff in and out, our equipment in and out.
All of it is just this foggy, murky, muddy narrative that continues to enforce the American public to buy into this absolute disaster.
And I say it's a disaster because what they won't tell you is what America's really fighting for.
And they're telling us that it's because of the health and safety of mankind.
That's ridiculous.
Iran's never been a threat to all mankind.
But at the same time, you've got to realize the Straits of Hormuz are one of the most important waterways in the world.
They represent almost 20% of the global trade, not just in fertilizer and in oil, but many, many other incredible natural resources that need to go through there.
And so I think that the real battle is a battle for continued.
Hegemony for the United States and continued dominance of the petrodollar.
And if the petrodollar weakens through a loss, then you're going to see an economy that's shaken for America and shaken for the petrodollar in the long term.
So, Trump is fighting for a legacy that he's not the one that destroyed the American petrodollar dominance.
I don't know if it was absolutely avoidable, but he should have been doing more to prevent it.
But I think that he has to do this and he has to claim victory.
To try to stabilize the petrodollar in the face of the rest of the world.
And that's really, in my mind, why we're there, because it's not like Iran is really this big, nasty, horrible threat that all of the journalists and all the circular reasoning tends to put out in the narratives.
They've always been a very, very peaceful civilization.
It's just that they have too much of the action, and America, as the zookeeper of the world, just can't stand to let the animals out of their cages.
And with that power structure beginning to lean towards Russia, China, Pakistan and others, you're going to see some dominoes begin to fall, and those dominoes are going to affect the power of the dollar.
This is what's really at stake here.
And so, of course, the narratives and the propaganda are going to be rolled out that we're winning and that we're victorious in every way, and that poor American soldiers.
But I think what we're seeing is that the military already knows, and the top brass especially already knows, that this is the type of situation where we just can't win this with air superiority.
Quick and fast with their missile structures up against their missile structures.
So it's going to be an ugly ride, folks.
You better buckle up.
Yes, and in stories not here, Iran has offered Europe the opportunity to ship their oil through the Strait if they pay in euros, and other nations are accepting payment of fee, a transit fee, $2 million equivalent in dollars in Chinese won.
So the petrodollar, as I see it, is already gone.
Meanwhile, preemptive strikes against the U.S. Have never been more justified than now.
If Donald Trump is prepared to green light attacks on the Iranian people that destroy the essential infrastructure for continued life there, if he is truly ready and willing to cut all state electricity supply, which will bring a collapse of the entire energy safety net to millions, if he is willing to see the mass death of Iranians first in hospitals and through poverty and disease, and as seems likely,
He's contemplating using nuclear weapons to do this.
Then there's a duty for others to hit his capacity to do this as hard as they possibly can with preemptive strikes on U.S. state assets.
I would add, under these circumstances, if Iran has missiles with the capacity to reach the United States, a preemptive attack upon Washington, D.C., would be completely justifiable under international law in the face of an imminent threat of this caliber.
The obvious risk to other states include Cuba, which Trump has set his neck, plus others in South and Central America, later North Korea.
Russia and China is clear.
It makes sense for them to make a unified attack on as many U.S. state institutions as possible, both military and state intelligence agencies, particularly the Pentagon.
Naturally, the suggestion appears wild, even insane, but how much wilder and more insane is Donald Trump, with the very real possibility he'll use?
Nukes against Iran.
The word is that he said everyone in the U.S. should tune in to Fox commentator Mark Levine.
Subsequently, Levine clearly advocated the use of nuclear weapons as a better option than sending in ground forces.
Invoke the 25th Amendment 00:04:07
Could Trump's intent, or at least his inclination, be clearer?
It looks like it's a lot more bluster, but the problem is they're entitled to take it to heart.
Meanwhile, the full effect on Iran if the US military option obeys, military obeys Trump's order tonight.
Apparently, we have a reprieve.
If Donald Trump makes good on his threat to destroy every power plant in Iran, what would be the immediate danger for the people in terms of poverty, hunger, availability of medical assistance, field hospitals, electricity supplies?
eventual disease and all other negative effects stemming from the Trump initiated attacks.
Here's Gemini AI.
The scenario you're asking about.
The total destruction of a nation power grid.
And by the way, the United States power grid is extremely vulnerable.
This was a colossally bad idea because others may wreak that very havoc upon us.
Represent what humanitarian experts often call a cascading failure.
In a modern society like Iran, electricity is not just a convenience, it is the master key that unlocks every other vital service.
If such a threat were realized, the immediate long term dangers to the civilian population would be catastrophic.
Here's a breakdown of likely effects based on current humanitarian data and historical presence of infrastructure warfare.
Healthcare, the immediate crisis, water and sanitation, the silent killer, food scarcity and hunger, poverty and economic total collapse, displacement and social stability.
It would be a catastrophe.
Epidemic, high infant mortality, cholera, typhoid outbreaks, absolute poverty, hyperinflation, widespread hunger, malnutrition.
Estimates have it that if the U.S. Energy grid were taken out as by a single EMP over the central United States, within seven months, 70% of the population would be dead.
We're bringing this on ourselves.
Meanwhile, Tlaibi tells Trump cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.
This maniac should be removed.
And frankly, I think the 25th Amendment is the way to go because while there are Also, articles of impeachment being introduced.
Impeachment just takes too damn long.
After bombing a school and massacring young girls and war criminals in the White House and threatening genocide, said Representative Hashida Talab.
I couldn't agree more.
Yes, Representative Talab, Tuesday, urged President Donald Trump's cabinet to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office following his genocidal threat to wipe out the whole civilization of Iran.
This was today.
After bombing a school, And massacring young girls that were criminals in the White House is threatening genocide.
Taleb, a Democrat from Michigan, wrote on social media it's time to invoke the 25th Amendment.
This maniac should be removed from office.
Some of her colleagues echoed her demand.
Mark Bokan of Wisconsin, this is my guy actually, wrote that Trump is too unhinged, dangerous, and deranged to have the nuclear codes.
20th Amendment right now, Bokan said.
Usually I disagree with a guy.
In this case, I'm in 100% agreement.
Mainstream Media Psyop Games 00:15:38
I'm proud to hear him take this forthright stand.
Meanwhile, Apocalyptic crisis could begin in Iran today.
What you should do if it happens.
So, before I disseminate everything that's wrong with the world that's unfolded in the last 24 hours, as well as forecasting the dark future that awaits us all, I want to remind anybody who's new to the channel this is not the standard format in which I deliver this information.
Typically, there's an audiovisual component.
I do have a professional studio, it helps augment the experience.
It's not necessary.
Uh, but some people are visual learners.
I know I am, and I don't want people to think I'm just phoning these videos in or the quality or the rigor of the research has been diminished as a result of the renovations that are currently taking place at our studio.
In fact, uh, the acoustics in a vehicle in a garage are actually pretty good.
I know some people appreciate the minimalism of the entire civilian power grid inside Iran, whether or not I think he's actually going to make good on those threats And where the state of negotiations are currently at.
Of course, we don't really know what the state of negotiations are.
That's important to remember that there's a lot of disinformation out there and misdirection.
And because they're not entirely convinced that all of the Iranian leadership is aligned, there is an imperative there to try to cause infighting amongst the Iranian leadership.
So that has to be taken into account anytime you hear something from Axios or any of these media agencies that masquerade as.
Well, he's going to give us his best thoughts about it.
Joaquin, give me yours.
Tell me, what do you think about what's going on here?
Your thoughts, Joaquin.
Well, it hasn't changed from the last time I spoke.
Now, I think that he's going to chicken out.
That's the pattern over the aggression he's exercised since being a second term president now.
Every time he makes these bold threats to the world and specific targets, he backs out at the last minute.
And how many times has he said, Okay, you got three days, you got 10 days?
And then it fizzles out at the last second.
So I'm inclined to think it's probably going to go that same route.
So it's important for us to not overreact.
But we do have a wacko in the office.
This guy is.
Basically, a narcissistic psychopath.
You know, they either end up in prison or if they have the social skills, they use those social skills through deception and manipulation to take advantage of situations, pit people against each other, and a lot, and, you know, pretty much maneuver their way up the ladder of the.
Yes.
And remember, Joaquin's been a professional counselor, so he's an expert in this area.
Continue, Joaquin.
Yeah.
So, I mean, you know, the politics game is to ingratiate yourself.
And this comes from my personal experience in the military, but it extends to the political arena, it extends to the corporate arena, the academia arena, pretty much military, every kind of major arena that exists.
The power structure of the people that with our system that end up as gatekeepers at the top of these different venues or domains end up these psychopaths because the system breeds them.
Now, you know, there's been a lot of studies about psychopathy as a disorder, mental disorder.
And they say that maybe up to 5%, the studies go.
But if the system, see, it's the old nature nurture argument where, yes, some people are born that way, and then others are made that way based on the environmental constrictions on them in their perception of rising up in power.
And so our system is so toxically.
Demented in psychopathy, that it breeds these animals to the top.
I saw it at West Point.
I see it everywhere where there is power.
And so, this is what we have we have a total narcissistic psychopath in power.
He takes offense to any kind of perceived insult and then lashes out.
And that's why he's only got these psychophants around him that fill him with bullshit.
To please his ego so they can stay out of trouble.
I mean, this is a very toxic work environment that he's created around himself.
And he's being misfed misinformation and lies all the time.
So he's basing all these grandiose, and that's another symptom of psychopathy amongst a certain narcissistic group of them, which he has in spades.
They feed his ego all the time.
And that's how they stay out of trouble and stay in good standing with him.
So we have such a horrendously pathological environment at the top of our government that, you know, it's like a runaway train wreck right now.
And we don't know where it's gonna crash and blow up.
Hopefully, the 25th Amendment will be our savior, because I do think that JD Vance at least has the ability to be able to temper himself.
He's a lot younger, obviously, but he's also, I believe, has psychopathic tendencies.
He's already displayed them, but I don't think he's so far pathologically crazy as Trump.
Trump is at the end of his life.
He's got his mental and physical problems.
He knows he's not going to heaven.
You know, he said that a few times.
And he knows he's going to hell.
So he's like, and Netanyahu's in the exact situation psychologically.
He's got his scruples, not scruples, he's got his mental faculties in a little bit higher order than Trump because he's very manipulative and conniving and can figure out what to say to keep himself out of trouble.
To manipulate others.
And that's his forte.
Netanyahu is the great manipulator.
And of course, you know, there is that factor always in place now with the pedophilia.
You know, Trump does what he's told.
He knows that he's only where he's at with the power structure because he does what he's told, because he's told by his donors and by the city of London, Rothschild, and all the rest of the top power elites that.
Pull all the strings and levers behind the curtain.
And he's totally in play for that to save his own life and power position.
So, yeah, it's a runaway train wreck, and we just hope that millions don't die from it.
Let me add I had reports earlier the planes that Roy left from Royal Air Force bases in the UK to head to Iran to reform.
Decimation of Iran.
I believe this was all very real.
What prompted him to decide not?
Notice he's claiming he's only doing this because they've agreed to a ceasefire, which they have not agreed to and will not agree to.
So he's playing games here that are ones that are going to have disastrous effects.
Brian, your thoughts.
Yeah, there's a lot to talk about in that segment.
And I appreciate the point or the pointer dog pointing towards the issue of diplomacy because I haven't seen any diplomacy from America in quite a while.
Either you're on board or you're not on board.
And it's pretty simple the way we do diplomacy.
Either you're going to get in the game by allowing us to buy you up or replace your current leadership with one of our puppets, or you're not going to be in the game and we're going to make sure that we send in our CIA and The rest of our machine to overthrow you and displace you so we can continue to control the zoo.
Now, one of the major things I've been thinking about, you know, and the Canadian prepper brought it up when he brought up Axios, was the circular reasoning that happens in the mainstream narrative.
Okay, they confirm their sources by the same claim being echoed throughout the rest of the mainstream media.
And so independent journalism is.
Basically, dead.
Now, why do I bring this up in light of Donald Trump and potentially the 25th Amendment?
Okay.
The first time Donald Trump came out, Donald Trump 1.0 was very raw.
He was going to go after the deep state.
He was saying all the things that Americans wanted to hear that would get him elected.
And then, sometime after Donald Trump had the election stolen from him, between then, we had Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
What a joke.
The 25th Amendment wouldn't have played very well back then.
She might have been better than puppet Joe Biden, but, uh, I don't know.
She was pretty stupid.
And by the way, you think back, okay, it would have been Dick Cheney.
It would have been John McCain.
It would have been, you know, Joe Biden under Barack Obama.
What a mess.
Even Joe Biden, the real Joe Biden, that might have actually been a decent politician at some point in time.
But you compare this to where Donald Trump 1.0 was, and you figure out how it's, I think it's because Donald Trump realized that the cycle of narrative.
From the recycled reporting in the mainstream media wasn't a position that he was going to continue to attack because the problem was your top six mainstream media organizations were run and largely controlled by high powered Jewish interests.
And so when he sold out to the Adelsons, and that was just a big indicator of $250 million for his campaign that he had sold out, he realized that he was not just taking $250 million, he was also taking a slice of the circular narrative reasoning machine.
To try to defend him.
And right now, he knows that the mainstream media narrative is going to continue to defend him because their interests are that more aligned with the Jews than they are with the Americans.
But I must point out, from an investigative standpoint, circular reasoning is not verification, that's just narrative reinforcement.
I'm cautious about Bellingcat, the group that chain trains all the journalists in the mainstream media.
I'm super cautious about the mainstream media or the mainstream academic organizations that feed people.
Into the mainstream media.
I've seen Bellingcat's journalism training pieces, and I can tell you that they treat circular reasoning as validation across the board.
Now, that said, we also brought up inside that whole segment the sky is falling narrative about the American power grid and Iranian power grid, and dysentery setting in and water getting imploded because we can't put it through the filters.
And I'm not saying that's impossible, but I do think that the American system is more so cellular.
Than many other nations in terms of how it produces power, how it makes sure that the power plants are running.
That said, most Americans just simply don't have the skills to survive more than three days or five days without water and food, even less.
So, once the dominoes begin to fall with the power grid, you're going to start to see the man with the gun become absolutely dominant as he's going to come and take your food or he's going to kill you.
So, we are going to turn into the Middle Ages pretty quickly with some sort of main power outage.
And if you think that the Iranians Haven't war gamed these angles, you're crazy.
The Iranians have, and all their partners probably have as well in secret meetings with the Russians and the Chinese.
They'd all like to see us go down.
And by the way, we'll probably have it coming as the long standing hegemon or zookeeper in the world for the last 80 years.
Yeah, I'm sorry to say, I think you got it right.
There's, of course, a rule of three three minutes without air, three days without water, three weeks without.
Food, but I think otherwise you nailed it exactly right, Brian.
Very, very astute.
Meanwhile, an unidentified and extremely large anomaly.
They're playing psyops with Iran.
This, I've got to believe, is a holographic image, but it's pretty weird.
Look at this.
So here's Hal Turner talking about it.
Not a single word from anyone in authority as to what this is in the sky over Astana, Kazakhstan.
There you see the image.
As of 11 26 p.m. Eastern, Saturday, April 4th, there's an unidentified and extremely large anomaly high in the sky above Astana, Kazakhstan.
We've already played the video.
Not a single word from anyone in authority as to what this is or why it's there.
Scalar map shows the city of Astana, Kazakhstan, and can be zoomed out to help you identify.
This is some kind of psyop with no doubt.
Censorship and Rising Morale Risks 00:05:11
Meanwhile, Iran latest, the growing gap between reality.
This week, our coverage of the war on Iran starts with the media story coming out of Israel.
Citizens there are not getting the full picture.
Military censors are filtering what they see.
Israel is growing more. oppressive, whether it's free speech or a new law that could sentence Palestinians to death by execution.
Translating propaganda and exporting it online.
Israel in Persian is the name of the account, and it's being used to target Iranians.
Plus, the Iranian countermeasures.
They include an internet blackout.
This is a way for them to show the populace that they are in control.
And exporting their own content, including AI, in the battle over hearts and minds.
The fog of war created by the U.S. Israeli attack on Iran is not lifting, it is thickening.
Mixed messages keep coming out of Washington, rehashed by the day, it seems, generating more confusion than clarity.
In Israel, the gap between political rhetoric and the on the ground reality has been widening.
The Netanyahu government's prediction of a quick war to topple Iran's leadership and destroy its nuclear program has given way to a reality that is far messier and much more dangerous.
For Israeli civilians.
Complicating matters further still is what Israelis are allowed to see of this war.
That is being tightly controlled.
Journalists face unprecedented levels of military censorship while being urged to raise morale rather than just report the facts.
And Israelis who do push back against the war or against a controversial new law legalizing the death penalty, but only against Palestinians, know that the authorities are out to repress them.
If not silenced.
Benjamin Netanyahu wouldn't put it this way, but five weeks into the U.S. Israeli war against Iran, this is what he's up against domestically.
Iranian missiles keep hitting Israeli targets, causing casualties and severely injuring the country's infrastructure.
The collapse that Israel was hoping for of the Iranian government, the galvanizing of rebellion there, has not happened.
Given the multiple fronts and entanglements, Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza and the unprecedented number of reservists called up, Israel risks running out of soldiers.
And like his ally, Donald Trump, Netanyahu has no clear exit strategy.
What he can be counted on, however, at times like these, is having a media strategy, scapegoating his critics.
In the theatrics that Netanyahu sometimes indulges in, He says, what are you doing in the TV studios?
Why are you sapping the morale of the public?
Why are you helping the enemy, not our own people?
And that's Netanyahu calling out the media for two and a half years.
You've done the job designated to you of being a fully mobilized machine to create consensus for genocide, and now to make sure this war can continue indefinitely.
And those are your marching orders, and go back to them.
Those orders, in their most specific form, come from Israel's military censors.
Any journalist based there, working for foreign outlets or Israeli ones, grows used to dealing with them, whether the country is at war or not.
But reporters and citizens alike say they have never seen censorship to this extent, where it can inadvertently put the citizens the censors are supposed to protect at greater risk.
Nir Gontars works for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
After a military base was hit by an Iranian missile, he went on X saying, It's nice that they put up warning signs about the asbestos scattered from the military base throughout the neighborhood following the strike.
But no government official explained what the implications and dangers are, what the kids are breathing while the soldiers on the base walk around in protective suits and masks.
Tightly controlled images and carefully shaped narratives from Israel.
AI material on social media designed to exaggerate Iran's military prowess, combined with videos first posted weeks ago.
Of missile strikes on Israeli targets, then reposted and presented as new, have caused all kinds of confusion.
With mainstream outlets under the thumb of the censors, Israelis are scouring sources online where it is increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction, reality from propaganda.
Corporate Mentality Breeds Psychopaths 00:07:04
The image, truth from news, as we do here.
That was a wonderful report.
Meanwhile, risks of a ground operation.
Against Aran Hughes.
Look, you want to know what that is?
That's modern American corporate mentality.
That's quite literally modern America.
And when I got my MBA, that's how it was actually taught.
By that point, I'm a combat officer.
I actually just left the military.
So I'm like, no, my people are my responsibility.
They're not my resource.
But their mentality, I mean, that's what modern American corporate mentality is.
Your people are a resource, just like your printer.
Squeeze everything you can out of them and throw them away.
But they have to be loyal to you.
It doesn't work that way.
Trump's just that mentality, that modern corporate mentality.
It's crap.
Yeah, well, he's everything a leader should not be.
Exactly.
Yeah, there was a video out from some stripper at, I'm not quite sure where she was located, but it was near one of the bases.
I'm assuming Fort Bragg.
Because she's talking about the airborne guy.
It's got to be Ford Bragg or Fayetteville, anyways.
And she's talking about, oh, they're blowing all their money and they all look like little kids and they look like they're all upset and they're going to go die.
I'm like, yeah, because they realize where they're being sent.
And it was sent into an unwinnable, impossible mission.
That's why I say this.
Trump may talk about all this is going to be over soon, but when he's taking steps to boost, you know, they surged a squadron of A-10 Warthogs on Monday or Tuesday, along with some Apaches.
So, you know, they're definitely building up to provide close air support, not reduce it.
I was enlisted in an Apache battalion when I was in the Guard while I was at Stone University.
Apaches don't do direct combat operations.
They have no armor on them.
You take an AK and you'll chew an Apache up to pieces.
They prefer to do sniper fire from behind the terrain feature.
Pop up, shoot, pop back down.
Where the hell are they going to use them in these islands, flying, what, over open water?
Yeah, I would not discount that.
And that's what I'm saying, the madness of all this.
They're not thinking it through tactically.
And they're not thinking through if we're actually being shot at, what's going to happen.
That's incredible.
I mean, the U.S. has got like 800 plus generals and admirals, which is insane if you think about it.
You think so many now would have been going, okay, I'm resigning over this.
This is idiotic crap.
I'm not going to stand for this?
Or are all of them spineless now?
I think it's true.
They're all spineless now.
I don't have a lot of doubt about it.
What came your thoughts about those stories?
Yeah, I think that is Krapivnik, the officer.
I think he was originally Russian, but he's an American officer for quite a few years.
Yeah, he talks about the corporate leadership model is to use their subordinates as resources.
Well, that's the same system that I'm talking about.
It's a psychopathic system that breeds psychopaths.
Where you are viewed, if you're in the chain of command, you are viewed simply as an object to be manipulated to the objective of the power structure that's calling the shots.
And this is how it's done.
I mean, I'm surprised he's a military guy, but hey, that's how it is in the military, in the corporate and the government.
That's how it is, you know.
The ones at the top, they're the top gatekeepers, and they're not in control because they have think tanks that are the middle person between the ones that are really calling the shots that are invisible to the public.
And then they have the ones that you see every day in these positions of, quote, power, puppet power, really, in the government and corporate and military, et cetera.
So, anyway, it's interesting though, because I think it's across the board.
The system is the system.
And we have a gatekeeper system that breeds psychopaths as the go between, the ones calling the shots towards the top, and they are the go between gatekeepers that then let us know what's going on.
And it's always in America, anyway, because obviously I speak of America.
The system in America is such that what's fed to the public right now, it's never been more dishonest and bullshit.
They're really in a crisis now where the people don't have the confidence in their own government.
We're reaching that, well, we've had it for a long time, but it's now over the top where the majority of the American population knows they cannot trust the government.
They cannot trust the Corporate media, uh, and basically they're very jaded at this point and confused.
There's so much disinformation, misinformation out there as well, uh, that people are muddled in confusion a lot of the time as well, especially the ones that don't stay up on top of a lot of this stuff.
They're totally, you know, manipulated and out of touch with reality based on our dysfunctional, dishonest system.
Information and propaganda.
So, yeah, we're, I mean, we're talking about more or less the psychological effects of war as we go to actual physical effects of dying and injury of war.
So, I mean, you know, we're being bombarded.
And as far as the Israeli citizens go, those people, I mean, everything we're talking about applies to them tenfold because they're totally kept in the dark.
Soy Boys and Advanced Weaponry 00:08:39
Absolutely.
I mean, Netanyahu has made sure they go to prison if they even do a camera screen and put it out there to the world.
They go to prison for a long time or killed.
And that's how tyrannical the system is in Israel.
And they're living now in these underground emergency shelters almost 24 7 now because of the damage being done by all the missiles being fired upon them.
You know, that's another thing.
You know, we can hope that Israel reaches the point where they're so obliterated that they then, you know, Netanyahu tells Trump, okay, let's, you know, work out the deal.
Okay, Brian, go right ahead.
Go ahead, pick it up.
Brian.
Well, there's a lot there.
You know, I think about the Skywar imagery that we were shown, whether that's a projection that's being, whether that's a projection that's just being, you know, Project Blue Beamed to inspire fear into a certain area.
Maybe it was easier to deploy, whatever that thing is.
I do have a feeling that we have some advanced weaponry that we haven't rolled out yet, and it will get rolled out.
In time.
So sometimes I wonder about whether or not these wars are there to decimate the military structure so they can roll out the big weapons and show that bullets and grenades are no longer as effective as they used to be.
That's great for the American industrial, the military industrial complex.
It's good for everybody who's got stock in Lockheed Martin and all the military guys.
And I'm sure if you were to take a look at how stocks traded related to military assets, you'd be able to get a good feel for what we're willing to sacrifice.
To get this done.
As for the soldier, I mean, yeah, we're given a Hollywood vision of what soldiers are, you know, a bunch of Jack Reachers and a bunch of, you know, Mel Gibsons out there on the battlefront.
That's not reality.
Think about what we've been harvesting for the last 20 years in our academic institutions.
We've been harvesting soy boys and little girly boys and trans this and trans that.
I'm not saying that this next generation has absolutely no hope, but I'm saying they haven't been.
Crane to be men.
They've been latchkey kids that have been raised by their phones and whatever happens to be entertaining on television, as well as, you know, whatever the neat conversation is.
So these guys are not exactly fit for service.
And I have serious doubts that Pete Hegseth or any of the rest of the leaders of the military, because I've seen guys like Millie and some of the others, are fit to actually train these people.
I hope that boot camp is more effective than, you know, we hope the girls can perform as well as the boys.
You know, this SEAL training because that's a joke.
If we're limited to a few special forces battalions here and there, we're not going to have a chance in hell to be on the ground.
And by the way, there's a lot of reporting right now that what really happened over there was, you know, Americans, we get this circular news story that we've, you know, saved these wonderful pilots and these corporals and captains that have crashed and we're the big heroes and, you know, we're able to just penetrate and do whatever we want.
Folks, I don't believe a word of that.
Iran's military is.
Much more disciplined, much more well armed than anything we've ever encountered before.
And this is why the strippers are telling stories about the soldiers, you know, not wanting to go over.
We just don't have the will and the heart to fight a real, truly ground bloody battle in the sand in the hot weather anymore.
So, you know, I hope we're able to roll out the big guns and keep control of the situation because I like my lifestyle, but I seriously doubt that with the asymmetry of weaponry, I mean, think about it.
Iran sent in.
Balsa wood drones loaded with explosives to bypass Israel's military because they look like birds on the radar.
Those things were $30,000 a piece, and Israel was launching $250,000 missiles.
There's an asymmetric cost here when you're fighting an enemy that's able to go back to the Stone Ages on demand and figure out what to do.
As for the propaganda, there's nothing new under the sun.
It's always been the same way.
They want to be able to protect, they use an asymmetry of information to.
Train the cultures to accept and the leaders of the rulings of their leaders.
And they use groupthink all the time to gain compliance and gain critical mass within the marketplace in terms of buying in on the agenda.
So, this is nothing new.
These are old school cultural assimilation techniques and they reach back into our childhood if you realize what we've been shown and what's real versus what's fake.
The exception I'd make to the qualification of the young people is.
They're video gamers, and it's now a war of drones, and their video gaming background preeminently qualifies them for this position.
It's ironic.
Yeah, but it's like watching a Star Wars vessel miss on all their shots.
You got space technology, but you're going to miss with a laser beam.
It's ridiculous.
If you think that guys that can play modern warfare are going to be able to outperform artificial intelligence, For instant decision making, you're crazy.
Artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where these things can be controlled to the point where they can use surveillance cameras to track faces and come up with murder and decapitation campaigns.
I think the technology is incredibly well advanced, but I just think that the human side of it just isn't as necessary, which is why you came to the conclusion earlier that we're treated like channel.
Yes, yes, yes.
Joaquin, I know you wanted to add a few thoughts before we lost you.
Go right ahead.
Yeah, yeah, I think the gaming aspect, you know, the video games that the generations have been growing up on for the last, what, you know, I'd say 30 years at least.
So we have, you know, some of them that are like, you know, the age of 50, you know, like that.
So, yeah, it would, the effects of that.
You know, is that they get so immersed in a game and they become desensitized to the actual effects of war.
Um, says it's unstable.
Are you hearing me?
Yeah, yeah, are you hearing me?
Yeah, yeah, yes, looks like okay, okay, yeah.
So, so you know, we have a many generations, many generations now that are desensitized, and you know, everything is a push button world now, and uh.
Unfortunately, I don't think ethics are taught very much.
And sensitivity toward other human beings, I don't think that that's taught very much because everything is so technologically based now.
And the gaming aspect is part of their whole structure of instruction.
So, yeah, I don't know if that bids well for the ethics involved in war making today.
Um, really, uh, I don't know if they teach you a lot of that, which we right, I would argue, I would argue the exact opposite.
I would say that they're not, go ahead, they're teaching too much sensitivity.
What they're not teaching is how to win in a fight.
They, oh, you've got to respect diversity, you've got to do all what they don't teach them is how to be victorious under whatever circumstances you're being out of.
They're a bunch of soy boys, soy boys, those people aren't going to be able to fight.
Yeah, yeah, Hegseth is going in there and he's fixing the problem.
Stay Informed to Survive 00:02:52
Yeah, right, right.
And we got a commander in chief setting a sterling moral example by advocating genocide and that he's going to destroy a civilization, seemingly not having any grasp whatsoever of the magnitude of the crimes he's describing here.
That's one hell of an inspiration for our young people across the board.
Ryan, your thoughts?
Oh, I just don't think we have the guts to do this.
I think it's going to have to be space warfare weaponry, whatever that happens to be.
And I think that's the only way we're going to be victorious is if we just burn them out with our laser beams.
Because the old style of flying in in our F 16s, this isn't Top Gun, man.
These guys got serious business missiles that they can launch on a lot of fronts.
They've been preparing for this for a long time.
Remember what we did to them at Natanz?
You know, it was a.
A technical attack.
Why do you think they have the internet shut down?
Because the internet's a door and it's a two way door and it's a scary door.
What came up?
Final thought.
Yeah, I don't know the outcome here.
I'm counting on Taco Trump backing away at the last minute today.
But we have to just wait and see.
But it's a road that we have not been down before where we're hanging on the edge every day of the next bomb to fall.
And who knows?
Maybe they do have the technology to reach the United States.
And if it gets bad enough where it's so existentially, you know, threatening about them having a state, a country, missiles on American soil.
And when was the last time?
I don't think so.
We always had this, we only had the Civil War, but I don't think we've had, and the Revolution, but beyond that, I don't think there's ever been war in our face on American soil.
It hasn't happened.
So, who knows?
And I want to add, you know, they got those pulse weapons that can take out the electric grid.
And without that, as we were alluding to earlier, you know, it's only a matter of time before we have millions dead.
So, yeah, there's so much at stake.
I think our time is coming, alas.
Don, take us out.
Yeah, we've been on air for an hour here, and our time has been well spent here.
And heavy times are here and coming.
Harvard, I think.
Be Prepared for Heavy Times 00:00:28
So we got to be prepared and be educated and do what we need to do.
