The Raw Deal (13 April 2026) with co-host Joe Olson
Jim Fetzer and Joe Olson allege President Trump accepted a $100 billion bribe from Saudi Crown Prince MBS to sustain the Middle East war, claiming initial CIA regime-change operations failed due to Turkish and Russian interference. They assert the conflict is an "escalatory trap" involving drug cartels and Hezbollah targeting U.S. soil, while promoting conspiracy theories that the Boston Marathon was a drill, 9/11 involved nuclear bombs, and the Wu Flu was a eugenics program. Ultimately, they characterize the administration as a Zionist puppet force driving global instability to enforce oil dependence and de-dollarization. [Automatically generated summary]

Historic Opportunity and Military Firepower00:14:59
I was young, so much younger than today.
I never need anybody to help in any way.
I don't know how these days are gone, and I'm not so selfish.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if you can.
I'm feeling down.
And I do appreciate you being around.
Bye.
This is Jim Fetzer, your host on The Raw Deal, right here on Revolution Radio Studio B this 13th day of April 2026, joined by co host Joe Olson.
The news is uniformly bad for the United States and I dare say Israel as well.
Trump, of course, has sought to impose a blockade.
More importantly, while he was preparing to withdraw, declare victory, and withdraw from the Middle East, he has been bribed by Saudi Arabia.
And I dare say it's going to cost thousands of American lives.
We're going to lose a massive number of ships, billions in equipment.
I'm going to guess minimally 2,000 lives.
Begin with Douglas McGregor.
Negotiations fail.
Iran prepares to attack all U.S. military assets.
And that, of course, includes the ships they have very kindly not attacked already, even though they would be the easiest targets.
I think there's a lot of confusion, and frankly, Disinformation.
What I think you're seeing is another manifestation of the absence of any real strategic planning, thinking, preparation before execution.
Everything is impulse driven.
It's whatever Donald Trump wakes up and decides he wants to do.
His cabinet scurries around and tries to respond to it.
Now, in reality, what happened?
I think that we thought we had an opportunity inside Iran to really disrupt the regime, even bring it down.
This, of course, was based on the Protests that are really a consequence of a terrible economic situation and the dramatic reduction in value of the rial, the Iranian currency.
Now, a lot of us have wondered why Iran has not gone to BRICS or to the Chinese or someone and said, look, lend me a billion dollars because they could do that easily.
That would boost the economy and help the situation tremendously.
But for some reason, they haven't done that.
Now, I know there's Islamic law that essentially forbids usury.
This is one of the reasons the banks in the Islamic world tend to be very solid as opposed to ours.
I don't know if that's the justification for it, but the bottom line is that what you started with were very legitimate protests about the economic conditions in Iran.
Those overlapped with a struggle, political struggle, between reformers and conservatives.
This then was developed into a CIA Mossad MI6 operation with the introduction of thousands of these starlight terminals, enormous quantities of money, which in that setting, of course, is going to buy a certain amount of support.
And now we have all sorts of evidence that's being provided overseas as well as here at home for instructions given to people in the crowds to fire on the police.
And provoked the police to shoot back at them in the hopes that people would be killed.
And this then would worsen the situation.
Well, all of this unfolded and it failed.
It failed for a whole variety of reasons.
The failure began, I would argue, last week on Friday when the Iranians and the Turks cooperated to annihilate 400 Kurdish fighters who were trying to move from Syria into Iran.
I don't think the Mossad or the CIA anticipated that, but I think that's a very important development.
There's a growing.
Appreciation in Turkey for the criticality of stability and unity in Iran.
The two states, for different reasons, have been competitors and sometimes enemies over a thousand years, but both are civilizational states.
We need to understand that.
Americans don't have any idea what that means.
Iran is Persia.
The Persian Empire has been with us for 2,500, 2,600 years.
They have a unique civilization and culture.
So do the Turks.
For very similar reasons.
The Turks came out of Central Asia.
They're not Arabs.
Anyway, the point is that both of these states are not going to help us or the Israelis destroy one or the other because they see their survival as civilizational states at risk.
So, what's happened is that the starlight terminals were largely picked up, confiscated.
The Chinese assisted technically helping to suppress and jam these things and the satellite connections.
I think the Russians have helped in whatever way they could, but the point is.
I think President Trump was told that this was a golden moment in time, which would allow him with very little effort to topple the government.
That failed miserably.
Secondly, once it became clear that failed, I can't prove this, but I suspect the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Kane, probably told him if we're going to do this, we're going to need more firepower because what we anticipated has not happened.
In other words, the country is not imploding, its armed forces are intact.
It's integrated air and missile defenses are intact and so forth.
And I think at that point, stories were spun out to explain why now suddenly the attack was off.
And remember, President Trump tried to persuade people, well, they've stopped killing.
And I told them I didn't want them to kill.
Give us a break.
There's no evidence that Trump gives a damn about who lives or dies in the Middle East, least of all Iran.
So I think that's just nonsense.
And I think they had a Pakistani diplomat insists in his discussions with the Iranians that they told him that.
They informed Trump that they were scaling back on the killing.
Now, maybe that was true, but I don't think it's killing in the sense of what she saw in the riots.
I think it's really executions of fifth columnists, people that betrayed their country and sold out principally to Mossad, because you had, according to Mr. Pompeo, lots of Mossad agents out in the audience.
Well, gosh, what a shock.
I think they probably told, you know, it could be that President Putin, because supposedly the Russians have had their hand in advising them.
Said, listen, scale back on these executions for the moment.
Yeah.
Even though we tolerate these kinds of executions in Saudi Arabia and any other places all the time, and Trump never expressed any concern about the loss of life in Gaza.
So, who knows?
But I think the show is on.
You have to look at the Lincoln Carrier Battle Group.
It's still on its way to the region.
We may see a second show up.
I wouldn't be surprised.
So, I think the war is definitely on the agenda.
And I don't see any evidence that Mr. Netanyahu is relenting.
This is his golden moment.
Either he acts and gets the full support, unconditional support of the United States Armed Forces, and wins his war in his mind, or he loses.
Yeah.
I think that's all very telling.
Meanwhile, Hal Turner has reported what I take to be the key development.
President Trump was ready to walk away from the Middle East yesterday until urgent call from Saudi Arabia.
Whore for money.
The term seemed quite relevant based on the information I just received.
U.S. President Donald Trump was ready to walk away from the Middle East troubles after Iran negotiation failed, but an urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Krimp's decision at the last minute.
President Trump had intended to glare at a complete ceasefire in the fight against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
However, A tense phone call with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan.
According to White House stars, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war.
This is an historic opportunity.
We must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.
In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives.
Key points in the offer?
$100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs.
Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime.
Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the border of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub.
Investment of approximately a trillion in the U.S. economy and purchase of $500 billion in American weapons.
Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other.
Moderate countries under an American umbrella.
Joint naval force to control Strait of Hormuz and Bab al Mandeb.
Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel.
Joint reconstruction fund for a post regime secular and moderate Iran.
In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected.
Senior diplomatic sources describe the moon as an historic turning point, marking the beginning of a new regional order.
Others see it.
As the US pouring itself for money, which of course is precisely what happened.
Meanwhile, Saudi targets are not off the market here for Iran.
They're having a report about him.
Prince Sultan Air Base is burning right now.
Six ballistic missiles and 29 armed drones just struck the most important American military installation in the entire Arabian Peninsula.
The base that houses F 35 stealth fighters, Patriot missile batteries, and the central command node for every American air operation running between the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea just took its first direct hits in the history of this conflict.
And the strikes did not come from the direction anyone expected.
Three of the six ballistic missiles were kbar shekhan medium-range variants launched from deep inside southwestern Iran.
The other three were desfull close-range ballistic missiles launched from positions that American intelligence is now scrambling to confirm, but that early trajectory analysis places inside Iraqi territory west of the Zagros mountain range.
The twenty-nine drones came in three separate waves from three different compass headings north, northwest, and east, arriving over the base perimeter within an eleven-minute window that turned every air defense system on that installation into a prioritization nightmare.
This is not a symbolic strike.
This is not a warning shot.
This is Iran telling the United States that its most protected, most heavily defended forward operating base in the Middle East is not safe.
And by the end of this video, you are going to understand exactly why Iran chose Prince Sultan Air Base, what the combination of Iraqi launched and Iranian launched missiles tells us about how this war has just expanded, what the drone swarm approach pattern reveals about how Iran mapped the base's air defense architecture before the attack, and why what happened in the last four hours Changes the strategic calculus of every American military planner operating between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean.
Let us get straight into the details.
Well, he does a brilliant job of explaining it, but Joe, I think what's most significant is Trump whoring out the United States for Saudi Arabia for a bunch of money.
Grotesque in and of itself, but here's what I now anticipate.
We're going to have more stories about the blockade and all that, which is ill-fated and misconceived.
Many are scratching their heads.
What's a nation that is trying to open the Strait of Hormuz doing with a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz?
It's absurd on its face, with which I agree.
But more tellingly, by Trump now continuing the war with this massive influx of financial support from Saudi Arabia, Iran has no choice but to expand to all American military targets, including American ships at sea, which Joe from the beginning.
I felt we were our greatest vulnerability.
I believe Iran has held off sinking our ships, which, in my judgment, it can do effortlessly in order not to inflame or incite the American public.
At this point now, however, I believe it no longer has a choice.
I predict we're going to see seven to ten vessels sunk within a few days, including our most prized at sea warships, carriers.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, Colonel McGregor had an excellent quote.
He said the U.S. Navy has two types of vessels.
They have submarines and they have targets because any surface vessel at this point in hypersonic warfare and satellite surveillance is 100% floating targets.
There's absolutely nothing you can do with it.
An aircraft carrier is a $13 billion pinata, floating pinata with $8 billion worth of mick trick planes that don't work with the shit.
We know that Trump is a semi literate.
He's absolutely.
Ignorant on virtually everything.
He lives in his own little elitist bubble.
And you and I were contacted by Robert David Steele in the summer of 2018 because Robert Steele had two separate sources inside the cabinet where he could get a memo to the president.
And we were, you and I and 26 other authors were asked to write a memorandum for the president because as a candidate in 2016, he promised to release all of the JFK files and all of the 9 11 files.
And we would have been at the bottom of this.
Bullshit pit eight years ago.
But no, we sent a memo to the president, and this was my memo Memorandum of the President Twin Towers Destroyed Using Clean Nukes.
Marine Reliance on Ships and Missiles00:08:02
He never read it.
And the instructions that Robert David Steele gave us was that Trump will never read more than two pages of written material.
It needs to be less than 800 words, and you need to include a picture because this moron needs to have something he can get out his Crayola sets and color with.
He didn't write either of his books.
Everything's ghostwritten.
Everything about him is a synthetic past with nine, eight, Or, excuse me, six bankruptcies.
And we know he was an active participant in the Epstein clan for decades.
His wife, his second wife, Ivana, was BFF with Ghislaine Maxwell for a decade and rode around in their limos, respective limos in New York City and in Miami, passing out business cards to little schoolgirls standing on the street corners saying, You could be a model or you could be a massage therapist.
Come by and get information from us.
And it was like she was a groomer for that bitch.
For 10 years.
Absolutely horrifying that this is what we've got living out as a national nightmare.
But one thing about it, it's not going to stay secret for too much longer.
Joe, would you agree?
All those carriers, as McGregor said, they're either targets or they're submarines.
They're going to be taken out.
Iran has shown such restraint, Joe, but they're not dealing with rational agents.
They're dealing with fanatics, religious fanatics, basically, because Trump truly believes in the superiority of the Jews as himself, so far as I can tell, a Jew by conversion, if not by birth.
He's all in with BB's plan.
They're both going to go down big time, and they're taking much of their nation with them, sad to say.
And much of the world economy, too.
Scott Ritter had some interesting information.
He said that when Russia fell in 1991, they were concerned that there might be a loss of their ICBMs.
And so they offloaded a bunch of their ICBMs to North Korea.
And North Korea took the ICBMs, improved the what do they call it?
The what?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The guidance, they improved the guidance systems and also made improvements on the propulsion systems.
And then when this bullshit started with Iran, they sent those missiles to Iran.
They now have the capability of destroying Diego Garcia, which would be our major B 2 and B 52 base down in 4,000 kilometers away from Iran.
So that's an easy target.
And moving ships, you don't have to hit the ship.
You just hit close to the ship.
And in the process of diversion, in the process of the wave that's generated by a giant strike next to it, you're talking.
A one ton warhead, a one ton warhead hits within 500 feet of an aircraft carrier, it'll tip that thing over.
They're barely balanced as it is.
So, bottom line is yeah, everything out there in the fleet is going to be destroyed.
And deservedly so.
You know, I hate to say that as an American, and I hated to see us come to this kind of a conclusion, but these are the Armageddon paths that these son of a bitches have been pushing us into for their whole entire eternity.
And it's absolutely disgusting that they still have power at this point.
Joe, I think your point about Diego Garcia is impeccable.
That's the best place to start.
Destroy Diego Garcia and let the United States and Israel see the power that Iran is capable of exercising.
Meanwhile, Trump has directed the Navy to initiate this blockade after the ceasefire talks ended in failure in Islamabad.
On Sunday, yesterday, said the U.S. Navy will immediately begin a blockade to stop ships from entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz after historic U.S. Iran's east fire talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement or next diplomatic steps in sight.
And of course, the disagreements were over non negotiable issues to which Iran was never going to concede, including giving up its nuclear enrichment program and opening the Strait of Hormuz to some kind of joint.
U.S.-Iranian control.
What a ridiculous idea.
Netanyahu says Iran's ceasefire could end at any moment once any Iranian ships coming near will be eliminated.
Iran's military says the U.S. blockade on Gulf ports now in effect is an illegal act, tantamount to piracy, as Trump is also weighing limited strikes on Iran.
Trump warns Iranian fast boats to be eliminated.
Fat chance.
U.S. military says it's enforcing the blockade in the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea.
Reuters reports.
Pentagon says any vessel is subject to interception and capture.
Pundit's review breakdown of Pakistan talks, where the gaps were enormous.
And yet, Iran's foreign minister says the sides were inches away from an Islamahad MOU, Memorandum of Understanding.
Israel Hezbollah fighting persists on eve of planned Tuesday talks in Washington between Israel and Lebanese officials.
Straight up Hormuz traffic returning to normal by the end of April?
I don't think so.
Not likely at all.
Meanwhile, will Trump's order.
To blockade Iranian ports actually work, Larry Johnson.
The short answer to the question is no.
The U.S., notwithstanding Trump's threats, is not going to deploy the Navy ships close to Iran's shore.
USS Abraham Lincoln, carrying a strike group, learned this the hard way in March.
The Lincoln got within 210 miles of the Iranian southern coast in March, but was forced to retreat to a position about 700 miles.
After it was attacked by a swarm of Iranian missiles and drones.
So, any attempt to interdict a tanker will take place hundreds of miles off the coast of Iran.
An interdiction of a tanker is normally carried out with a helicopter air assault.
This means the U.S. must rely on ships capable of carrying and launching helicopters.
At present, there are only three groups of U.S. Navy ships meeting that criterion the USS Abraham Lincoln, And two U.S. Marine Corps Marine Expeditionary Units, the 11th and the 31st.
The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit consists of the USS Tripoli, American class amphibious assault ship.
It serves as a primary platform for Marine aviation and command functions, supported by the USS New Orleans, the San Antonio class amphibious transport dock.
It arrived at Tripoli and carries additional marine vehicles and equipment.
And the USS Rushmore would be island class dock landing ship.
It was en route to the Strait of Malacca in early April, heading to join a group in the Arabian Sea.
He has more explanation, but Joe, it ain't gonna work.
Why would anyone think that a blockade was a smart idea?
Can you share your thoughts?
Dark World Decline and Antiwar Support00:07:03
Yes.
As a matter of fact, Iran has three active uranium mines.
One is Sukhhand, S A G H A N D.
The other one is Nargan, N A R I G A N.
And this one I have no idea how to pronounce.
I'll call it G S H I N E.
They have a total of 5,000 tons of uranium available.
Any nation that had that amount of uranium would be interested in having an alternative power source instead of having just petroleum driven power plants to have uranium powered ponds.
Israel has no natural uranium deposits, and they had no natural uranium and weapon power and development capability.
They stole every bit of their uranium and every bit of their power plant and weapon technology from the United States.
And there was a great 10 minute long dissertation by Abby Martin Israel is worse than you think.
This was at Double Down News last Thursday or last Tuesday.
I will go ahead and put that in the.
Show notes is a link to their YouTube because you need to know how really horrible this country is that we're defending.
Yes, yes.
I think the American people are getting the idea, believe it or not.
Meanwhile, reinforcing failure, a ground invasion of Iran will make things much worse.
This is from antiwar.com.
Early Easter Sunday, and the mad emperor.
Donald Trump threatened war crimes against the people of Iran.
The derangement of the American press and the argument for invoking the 20th Amendment for his removal has as much, if not more, evidence as existed for the cognitive impairment of his predecessor.
Trump's social media post yesterday, if written in the early centuries of our era by Roman Emperor, would have been worthy of quotation in Edward Gibbon's A History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
Thus, another sign of the American empire's decline and fall, not solely the corruption of its executive, but the madness of the emperor and his court.
It's an empire that, in its decline, lashes out, an empire that, while seeking to control and maintain its dominant, perpetrates disastrous and vainglorious acts of war, acts of war that keep the empire's demise while bringing ruin to its vassals and opportunity to its enemy.

Cascading Dependency Destruction Tonight00:15:23
More of interest here from antiwar.com.
I'm not including my thoughts on the proposal for U.S. forces to seize Iran's enriched uranium.
By the way, that does not weigh a thousand pounds, but weighs more than 15,000 pounds when its necessary containers and transportation systems are included.
Many are speculating this past weekend saw a failed attempt to do so.
With regard to this proposed caper, I will simply say that I agree.
With the retired French General Michael Yaklev, that U.S. officials should stop smoking, snorting cocaine.
Meanwhile, with regard to the opt to take and hold Iranian land, first, this plays right into Iranian strategy.
The Iranians have openly expressed three ways they wish to achieve deterrence against a future war through economic warfare that causes global harm, to an expansion of the war that puts deep and lasting political stress on the United States and its allied vessels.
And by causing significant U.S. casualties, the Iranians have cited a goal of 500 dead Americans.
The Iranians are achieving the first two objectives.
Entering an American ground combat element into this war would allow the Iranians to achieve the third.
Second, the concept of operation for such a task is remarkably unsound and risky.
Water distance from U.S. bases in the Gulf Stream to the proposed targets, whether raining islands or coastal centers and ports, puts in doubt the ability to reinforce supply and evacuate its forces.
There is no U.S. naval presence in the Gulf, and its U.S. naval force don't even appear to be in the Gulf of Oman, but may be further out in the Arabian Sea, save for Iranian anti ship missiles and discovery by drones.
Satellite images show the USS Abraham Lincoln and her escort more than 1,000 kilometers.
From the Iranian coast.
Third, I do not believe US ground forces are prepared for modern warfare.
And in this regard, I mean specifically drone warfare.
Yes, the US has not simply observed the Ukraine war, it has actively taken part in it in many ways.
But I do not see a readiness for the reality of drones that will be used against its ground forces.
I don't think the U.S. has the equipment, has trained its forces, has the culture, or the leaders for modern war with drones.
The U.S. is essentially fighting a 20th century war for 20th century purposes with 20th century mindsets at every level.
Joe, I got to say, I think that's an impeccable analysis.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, the specific gravity of uranium hexafluoride is 4.7, which means it's 4.7 times the weight of water.
And a cubic foot of water is 64 pounds.
And so you multiply that times 4.7.
And then you put it in an enormous steel container that is able to absorb a lot of the gamma rays that are coming off that stuff naturally in order to keep it from killing everybody that walks past it.
That would be the job of our.
Special forces to go down in these tunnels, locate where all these different cylinders are, drag them back to wherever they think they can drag them up to the surface, whatever elevators they think they can keep operational, and then lift it out with little bird helicopters.
This is the most half baked piece of bullshit that's happened since Desert Claw under Jimmy Carter.
This is the ugliest, stupidest special ops that any president has pulled since Jimmy Carter, and it surpasses Jimmy Carter by magnitudes.
This is an absolutely Idiotic thing.
And we lost at least four major aircraft.
We lost.
F 16 fighter jet.
We lost A 10 ground support jet.
We lost two C 130s.
And by some estimates, we lost 750 troops.
That's what the Iranians are claiming.
And at this point, I believe them more than I believe anything that's mentioned by our Department of Warmongers.
Bear in mind these carriers carry a compartment of about 5,000, 3,500 sailors, 1,500 Marines.
Those carriers are a prime target to be sunk and sent to the bottom of the sea, Joe.
It's effortless for Iran to do this.
And it seems to me the moves Trump is making are so amateurish, they're so stupendously wrong that they're reflective of his complete ignorance of military history, military tactics, military strategy.
He has no idea what he's doing.
And the effects, the consequences for the United States are going to be enormous and profound.
Get this now.
Just in.
Iran hits Tel Aviv's last water plant.
Eight million in crisis.
Is it with Colonel Willikers?
Let me be very clear about something before we get into the details of what happened at 1023 tonight, because this is not a story about a missile strike.
This is a story about the deliberate, methodical, and strategically patient dismantling of the infrastructure that keeps eight million human beings alive.
Having been inside the national security apparatus of the United States government for decades, Having watched the way wars are planned at the level where decisions have consequences that last generations, I can tell you with complete certainty that what Iran did tonight was not a reaction.
It was the final move in a sequence that was drawn up long before the first missile of this conflict ever left its launcher.
Stay with me because by the end of this, you will understand something that almost no one in the mainstream analysis is saying out loud, and that silence is itself part of the story.
At 10 23 tonight, Iranian missiles struck the Rishon Lezion water treatment facility.
Not a military compound, not a radar installation, not a command center or an airfield or a hardened bunker housing strategic assets, a water treatment plant, the last functioning large scale water treatment facility serving the greater Tel Aviv metropolitan area, the last one, not damaged and limping along at reduced capacity, not partially functional while engineers work around the clock trying to restore lost pressure to the distribution network.
The last one, and now it is gone.
Eight million people went to sleep tonight expecting to open their taps tomorrow morning.
What people don't understand is that expectation, that utterly mundane, completely taken for granted assumption about water coming out of a pipe, is now the most dangerous illusion in the Middle East.
The missiles came in the dark as they were designed to.
The perimeter lighting of the Rashan LeZion facility went dark in the seconds following the first impact.
The electrical systems feeding the entire complex severed.
In a single strike.
Then the second warhead arrived and made the darkness permanent.
The pumping infrastructure that moved raw water through the treatment process is destroyed.
The chemical dosing systems are offline.
The distribution pressure that kept water moving through thousands of kilometers of pipe into the homes and hospitals and schools of 8 million people is gone.
And before anyone in the international community even finishes drafting their first statement of concern, the people of Greater Tel Aviv are already hours into a water crisis that has no immediate solution.
But if you think tonight's strike was simply about destroying a water plant, You are missing the architecture of what Iran has actually done here.
And that architecture is where this story really begins.
Having been inside the system, I can tell you that the most sophisticated military campaigns are not the ones that destroy targets in isolation.
They are the ones that destroy targets in a sequence carefully designed so that each successive strike eliminates the redundancy that would have compensated for the previous one.
What Iran has conducted against Israel's water infrastructure is not a series of water infrastructure attacks.
Attacks.
It is a campaign of cascading dependency destruction.
And tonight's strike on Rishon LeZion was the capstone, the move that was only possible because every preparatory move before it had already been executed successfully.
Israel's water system is among the most engineered in the world, built over decades to compensate for the country's limited natural rainfall through a combination of natural aquifer sources, the Sea of Galilee feeding the national water carrier, and most critically, Desalination plants along the Mediterranean coast that now provide approximately 80% of the country's domestic drinking water supply.
That desalination dependency is the structural fact that makes Israel's water system simultaneously impressive and catastrophically vulnerable.
When 80% of your drinking water comes from industrial desalination, your water supply is not one infrastructure system, it is three separate infrastructure dependencies stacked on top of each other.
You need electricity to run the desalination process.
You need chemicals to treat the desalinated output.
And you need functioning pump and distribution infrastructure to move the treated water from the coastal plants through the network to the people who need it.
Take out any one of those three dependencies, and the entire chain fails.
Stay with me because this next part changes everything.
They have taken out all three.
Get this now.
Turkish president throws down the gauntlet to Israel.
Any attack on Iran and Lebanon will be considered an attack on Turkey.
This is fascinating and extremely important.
Flash traffic urgent.
President Recep Erdogan of Turkey has just publicly announced to Israel any attack upon Lebanon or Iran will be considered an attack upon Turkey.
Here are his precise words.
If Israel doesn't stop playing with fire and creates turnover or peace process in the region, we will make sure Israel learns a good lesson.
Any attack on Lebanon and Iran now will be considered an attack on Turkey.
To put these remarks in context, Erwin also said, on the day of ceasefire, Israel killed hundreds of innocent Lebanese people.
Netanyahu is blinded by blood and hatred.
If it was not for Pakistan mediating the war between the U.S. and Iran, we would have shown Israel its place.
Turkey has the capacity to reach Israel with ballistic missiles.
Possesses a large arsenal and is developing advanced locally produced missiles like the Tafan with a 750 to 1,000 kilometer range in the protected Sirk, 2,000 kilometer range, which can directly strike Israeli territory.
Unlike Iran, Turkey also has the ability to launch an actual ground invasion of Israel.
The border of Turkey is only 166 miles from that of Israel by any and every measure.
Military experts are united in their assessment that Israel sucks at infantry fighting.
They keep losing to Hezbollah.
The population of Israel is a bit over 10 million, but only about 7 million Jewish, while the population of Turkey is 86 million.
Turkey would be allied with Iran with a population of about 90.
Those population numbers do not bode well for the Jewish state.
And let me add one further article to the mix.
Trump has two razor sharp knives at his throat.
Trump is joined at the hip to Netanyahu in the Israeli lobby.
He is fixed there by the strongest super glue ever developed.
It can't just be a sex crime via Epstein.
It is a much stronger adhesive than that.
Trump's commitment to Israel without doubt goes back many years before even his first presidency.
Now, Trump is no genius, no matter how many times he says he is.
He's an individual who boasts about his deal making abilities.
Quite clearly, the entire panoply that makes up Israeli influence promised him the deal of a lifetime.
They would do everything possible to make him president.
But if he ever crossed, They would destroy him completely.
Epstein was without doubt part of the insurance policy the Israelites took out on Trump to make sure he always did what they said and would never do anything against their interests.
They held a knife at Trump's neck 24 7.
And due to Epstein and who knows what else, Trump can't move an inch.
But now Trump has two knives at his throat.
His insane war against Iran, against all known specialist advice, means the Iranians now hold the second knife firmly in their hands.
Trump surely knows he is doomed, whichever way he moves now, and is displaying his angry desperation ever more clearly each day.
Every move he makes draws both knives closer to his flabby throat.
He has no way to escape now.
Though he's making the pretense of having all the cards and Iran having none.
This is a King Midas in reverse figure projecting like there's no tomorrow, which is fate beckoning him every hour as we move forward.
His new idea, a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, will only make matters worse.
Journey Beyond Eastern Hemisphere Borders00:11:35
Joe, your thoughts.
Yeah, well, I have real questions about that supposed interview with Colonel. Williamson, because it's the same exact verbiage that's used on a Chinese AI system, and it doesn't really look like it's authentic from him.
And I found no evidence that they have knocked out all of the desalination plants.
They have other reliable sources have said that they've knocked out some of the power to them.
But let's just do a real quick review on reverse osmosis.
This involves little tiny tubes that are cemented together to form a grid, and then you pump seawater through it.
The salt molecules are big enough that they get caught in the grid.
And so, what comes out of the other side is pure water.
This was first developed in 1960 by UCLA, and the first commercial use was in 1965.
You take a certain amount of that produced pure water, and then you back pump it so that you can wash the salt off of the grid and continue this operation, wash the salt back into the ocean.
So, these things are complex systems.
They require a high pressure to be able to push through the RO units, and they're pretty delicate.
And the problem with Israel has almost virtually no.
Uh, available domestic water supply, they have limited groundwater, they've got limited rainfall, and so 85% of their water comes for desalination.
And the same thing with all of the rest of the GCC monopolies that are over there the monarchs that were installed by the British Royal Petroleum Company back in the 20s, and they're the ones that are aligned with Israel against their Arab brothers and against Turkey.
And as far as what's happening.
With the ceasefire.
Yeah, when we had a ceasefire in Lebanon and Iran, Israel goes around on Easter and blasts Beirut and kills a thousand people and injures a couple of thousand more.
We have a ceasefire going on right now in Ukraine because it's Eastern Orthodox Easter and it's a one day ceasefire, but that's not going to hold and it doesn't make any difference.
People have to realize the dynamics of what's going on.
These things have been planned and stage set for a very long time.
You read color underscore revolutions at Wiki.
The United States has conducted a dozen color coups in Eastern Europe since 2002.
We overthrew the government in Ukraine in 2004 with the Orange Revolution.
We overthrew it again in 2014 with the Maidan Revolution.
We installed Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs that were all Jewish that had ripped off.
The Russians with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the same way the Bolsheviks did in 1917 when they ripped off for the Rothschilds.
When J.P. Morgan and Armin Hammer went in there and ripped off for the Rothschilds, that's exactly what this is.
And the reason they created the Ukraine war at this particular time was to pull Russia out of air support for Assad in Syria so they could take out Assad, which they absolutely did.
And that gave them a flyway to be able to go over the already conquered Iraq to hit Iran from.
From Israel.
And they've also compromised Jordan so that they're a co defendant in this ongoing genocide.
So the whole thing is an absolute 100% Rothschild murder and mass genocide and piracy effort worldwide.
And it's disgusting.
But I think that it's to the point now where you can't hide the details from people that are going to try to understand what's going on.
And this is exactly what's going on.
It's absolutely 100% piracy on the part of America.
And Israel has always been a pirate country.
It is just staggering the stupidity of undertaking this operation.
Meanwhile, we got Colonel McGregor.
We cannot destroy Iran for Israel.
Well, when he said we cannot, he really means we should not.
I think taxes are something that makes all of us panic, whether or not you want to admit it.
Iran, India, the Turkish state, Turkey, thanks to its Ottoman heritage.
These are core civilizational states in the world.
They represent much more than just their own nation state.
They represent thousands of years of culture and history.
So, none of these states, under any circumstances, are going to surrender their sovereignty.
But we need to understand that for Iran, this is existential.
Remember what President Trump said about this initially oh, this is just a journey.
This is a journey.
In other words, it's not existential for us.
You know, a journey in which we've decided that we're going to bring.
A nation of 93 million people to its knees.
We're going to destroy its way of life, its existence.
But for us, it's just a journey.
Why is it just a journey for us?
Because it's a journey for Israel.
And that's the problem.
This is the problem that people don't understand.
We cannot solve Israel's strategic problems militarily, which is what we're being asked to do right now.
Israel was already widely disliked, if not treated as a pariah in the region anyway.
Now, the rest of the Islamic world sees Israel as this menace, this virus that is going to ultimately destroy all of them.
And all you have to do is look at the map of Greater Israel.
The map of Greater Israel includes much of Saudi Arabia, northern Iraq, Syria, Jordan, the Sinai, and some territory west of the Nile, and of course, at least half of Lebanon.
And all of this is part of so called Greater Israel.
Well, we used to have something during World War II called Greater Germany.
Gross Deutschland.
You know, this was the expanded Germany.
Ultimately, that actually made more sense than what we're seeing because at least there were Germans living on the territory, not always in the majority, but there.
In this case, we're talking about whole populations that have to be subjected to Gaza treatment.
They're going to have to be effectively subjugated, enslaved, or driven out.
This is insane.
And this is what we are fighting for.
People need to understand this.
And I don't see any evidence that it could possibly exist.
We've always had the objective of gaining control of the oil fields in the region.
You've got to go back into the 1990s and go back and read the things that Richard Pearl and Paul Wolfowitz and a host of others in their group of neocons were writing and insisting that if we could control all the oil resources in the Middle East, then we would have China by the throat.
Of course, the real intention was not just to have China by the throat, but to make Israel the undisputed champion and king of the Middle East.
I don't think we're going to ever get China by the throat, nor do I think we as Americans need to do that.
That's absurd.
But I think we're back to where we were before.
This is all about Israel and securing it and making it safe and putting it in charge of the whole region.
All of this is going to fail.
It has no chance of success.
And this business of bombing a nation into the Stone Age, I must say, I do disagree with one thing you said.
You said, well, Dresden, we can't do what we did there.
No, I think we can.
And I think the Iranians know this.
And their cities already show evidence for it.
We're doing things that we have not done since the Second World War of Vietnam.
And one could argue that our bombings, both we and the Royal Air Force during World War II, committed war crimes.
And you can make the argument that we did the same thing in Vietnam.
And I think we're going to do the same thing here.
Ultimately, you end up destroying power, you put hospitals out of business.
The Israelis have been bombing hospitals in Iran and emergency centers.
Ever since the war began.
And they launched a number of strikes last night, I think, because they worry that they might end up facing a ceasefire.
I don't think there's any chance of a ceasefire coming.
I think what they're going to end up facing is something worse than they've already encountered from Iran and potentially others that support Iran.
You know, he's in this escalatory trap.
He doesn't know how to do anything else but bully.
So what he's trying to do is bully once again.
Remember, we talked about.
You know, if it fails, what else do you do?
Well, you escalate, you escalate, you'll escalate.
You could turn around and say, well, escalation isn't the answer.
But there's no one telling him to do that, as far as I can tell.
And I certainly don't see great evidence for people standing up in the Department of Defense and telling him, sir, this is not going to work.
And if you do this, we could end up in a much wider war with a lot of other people.
And by the way, you know, we mentioned escalation beyond the borders of, the Eastern hemisphere?
In other words, could there be escalation here in the Western hemisphere against us?
And the answer is yes.
You know, the drug cartels, which have always been the real threat to us in Mexico, are for hire.
And they have an interest in seeing to it that they continue to move drugs and people back and forth across our borders and coastal waters.
So could they possibly cooperate with Iran?
Absolutely, without question.
There are already Hezbollah chapters down in Mexico.
They've never taken any action against this, but they exist.
The Sunni chapters, the ISIS slash Al Qaeda al Nusra crowd, they've been much more active in Mexico.
But all of these things could blow up on our faces inside our country.
They could destroy our refineries, our oil infrastructure.
What about our nuclear power plants?
Could they cause accidents there?
There are a whole range of things.
And we have not done what We need to do to secure our own.
Was it a conspiracy?
Did you know that the police in Boston were broadcasting, this is a drill, this is a drill, on bull hordes during the marathon?
That the Boston Globe was tweeting that a demonstration bomb would be set off during the marathon for the benefit of bomb squad activities.
And that one would be set off in one minute in front of the library, which happened as the Globe had announced.
Peering through the smoke, you could see bodies with missing arms and legs.
But there was no blood.
The blood only showed up later and came out of a tube.
They used amputee actors and a studio quality smoke machine.
Don't let yourself be played.

Beijing Moscow Losing Middle East Influence00:07:22
The ceasefire itself appears to have been very much a sham.
Here's a nice piece by Phil Giraldi, who's a very sensible guy.
During my most recent appearance, I'm just a politician of judging freedom.
I press a view the ongoing ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was a scam designed to support Israeli interests in the region, to give both Tel Aviv and the White House Breathing room to prepare for the next major assault on Iran.
I based my judgment on several aspects of this story being circulated by the White House and the tame media.
First of all, it's being suggested that the U.S. acceptance of the proposal for a ceasefire put forward by Iran through mediators in Pakistan was arrived at without discussion with Israel.
In other words, Prime Minister Netanyahu had no preview.
Of it nor hand in it.
This defies the history of the relationship between the U.S. and the Jewish state preceding the agreement, if that truly was what it was.
Up until now, Donald Trump, like his predecessor Joe Biden, has been the most loyal accomplice of Israel up to and including that country's war crimes, never using the considerable leverage the U.S. has to ever contest or block anything Israel does.
No matter if it's doing serious collateral damage to the U.S. or U.S. interests.
In that context, one might cite how there have been ceasefires in Lebanon, Syria, and with Gaza, all of which had the U.S. as implementer or guarantor, while Israel immediately violated, just as it is doing right now in all those locations, as well as with Iran.
When Israel defies what has been agreed upon, Trump says nothing.
which suggests that the slaying ceasefire was all clever, contrived by Israel and the U.S. behind the scene to create a pause in a war that's going badly, to permit renewal of fighting possibly as soon as the two-week term of the ceasefire expires without anything more substantial to replace it.
To my surprise, the agreement did not last even 24 hours before Israel chose to stage a devastating attack on Lebanon.
Which killed as many as 300 civilians and destroyed residential neighborhoods.
There should be no doubt that the Israelis stage the attack to disrupt any movement toward a ceasefire or peace arrangement with the Persians.
It wasn't going to happen anyway, Joe, in my opinion, but there's no doubt that Israel wants to destroy it.
Meanwhile, there are four ways that Iran has weakened the United States in the great power game from the Hindustan Times.
Napoleon Bonaparte's maxim may have been in the mind of policymakers in Moscow and Beijing the past week as the U.S. war in Iran dragged on.
Now that observation be never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
And now that a 14 day ceasefire between Tehran and Washington is in effect, with both sides claiming victory, Russian and Chinese leaders. Still have an opportunity to profit from what many see as America's latest folly in the Middle East.
Throughout the weekend long conflict, China and Russia struck a delicate balance, both declined to give Iran, seen to a very degree as an ally of both nations, their full throttled support or any real costs in the conflict.
Instead, they opted for limited assistance in the form of small scale intelligence and diplomatic support.
I actually believe it's been more.
In any case, here are the four ways.
There are four ways claiming.
War has benefited Iran, but I'm having trouble accessing it.
Okay, here we go.
I think we got it now.
First, losing influence in the Middle East.
As I explained in my book, Defending Frenemies, the U.S. has long struggled to balance competing objectives in the Middle East.
During the Cold War, it meant limiting the Soviet Union's influence in the region while contending with the development of nuclear weapons by two troublesome allies, Israel and Pakistan.
No doubt we are losing influence.
Second, taking U.S. eyes off other strategic goals.
In expanding military, diplomatic, and economic ties in the Middle East, Russia and China over the past two decades were exploiting a desire by Washington to move its assets and attention away from the region.
Following two ghastly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this war, of course, is overwhelming those in terms of its damage to the U.S. Third, disproportionate economic fallout.
Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, where some 20% of the world's oil passes, was as predictable as it was destructive of U.S. interests.
But for Russia, this meant higher oil prices, boosting its war economy.
Also led to the temporary but ongoing easing of U.S. sanctions, by the way, both against Russia and ironically Iran, which provided Moscow an indispensable lifeline after years of economic pressure over the war in Ukraine.
And fourth, loss of global leadership.
Trump's willingness to abandon talks to go to war, the contradictory rhetoric he has employed throughout the conflict.
Have weakened the perception that the U.S. is an honest broker.
That provides a massive soft power boost for Beijing.
It was China that pressed Iran to accept a 14 day ceasefire proposal brokered by Pakistan.
Indeed, China has slowly chipped away at America's longtime status as global mediator of first resort.
And, Joe, that's not even to talk about.
The loss of the petrodollar, the consequences it's going to have for inflation at home, and the loss of a dramatic drop in the quality of life right here in the USA.
Your thoughts?
Maximalist Demands and Two Plans00:15:26
I think, in every respect, this engagement with Iran has been a complete and total disaster for the US.
Politically, economically, morally, militarily, you name it, we're suffering the consequences.
Yes, by boycotting fertilizer, we've impacted the agricultural production.
By nearly doubling the price of diesel fuel, we've increased the cost of agricultural.
So, bottom line is, we're going to have enormous food shortages in the very near future due to this misanthropic bullshit.
By way of deception, thou shalt do war, the motto of Mossad.
And guess what?
They pulled off the USS Liberty, where they attempted to blame Egypt for sinking our intelligence ship that was virtually unarmed.
And Herod had obvious.
Markings and a giant US flag on it, and they ended up killing 39 and wounding everyone on the boat.
Absolutely disgusting, covered up by LBJ.
We've previously in this broadcast discussed 9 11, but we haven't talked about the nuclear bombs that actually were involved in that.
And that implicates a state actor because you couldn't have done that with jet fuel.
You couldn't have done it with box cutters.
You couldn't have done it with remote directed energy weapons.
You couldn't have gone in there and wired all those buildings with thermite and explosives.
Explosives.
The only logical way of doing it was to plant a nuclear bomb in the basement of the building, exactly like the Palmer report, which we referred to and that you and I had first discussed in March of 2015.
We just could have discussed it earlier, but I still had clients and I had a risk of losing because of conspiracy theories.
And so I ended up deferring until I had plenty of evidence and then I was able to speak out.
So that's why we have this particular situation.
But October 7th was Obviously, a Mossad setup operation where they told everybody to stand down for five hours.
They went in with their attack helicopters and used Tomahawk missiles against kibbutzes.
And they had their tanks go in and fire artillery shells.
And the Hamas didn't have jets, they didn't have missiles, and they didn't have artillery shells.
So every one of those deaths, and it's at least a third of the 1,200 that were killed that day, were killed.
By Mossad, because that's part of the Hannibal directive.
If you have to kill a bunch of Israelis to get what's good for the leading Israelis, then that's perfectly acceptable.
So it's time for the people of Israel to realize they're pawns in this rotten game as much as anybody else.
And the people that are ruling them are the same people that are ruling us.
And they need to overthrow these tyrants that have hijacked their quote, whatever it was in the way of religion.
And they need massive reform.
Absolutely right.
Meanwhile, we have John Mearsheimer, world change forever, as Iran defeated.
This is your last chance to start your upgrade if you want to get rid of this.
This and this.
Welcome back.
Today is Friday, the 10th of April, and we are joined by none other than Professor John Mearsheimer.
So thank you for coming back on.
It's always my pleasure, Glenn.
So these are crazy times indeed.
We saw that Trump.
Threatened to wipe out the entire Iranian civilization with its 90 plus million citizens.
Then he embraced a sudden ceasefire, which he then seemingly undermined immediately thereafter.
Then he claims victory and begins to distance himself from some of the key requirements of this ceasefire deal.
It can be confusing.
So I was hoping if anyone can shed some light on this, it would be you.
Yeah, I think it is somewhat confusing for sure.
And I think because President Trump, you know, frequently contradicts himself and says outrageous things, that it sometimes feels like it's hard to make sense of what's going on here.
But I actually think it's quite straightforward.
And I think if you look at his two tweets on Monday, it tells you a great deal.
Now, what exactly am I saying?
I think from an overarching perspective, you want to understand that President Trump is desperate to end this war.
He fully understands that we are close to going off a precipice, that if this war is not shut down, we could end up in a global depression that's worse than we saw in the late 1920s.
And he wants to do everything he can to avoid that.
So you get two tweets on Monday morning and on Monday evening, and they're very different tweets for sure, but they both show evidence of the desperation.
In the morning, he says that he's going to wipe Iran off the face of the earth.
He's going to destroy Iranian civilization forever.
This is a genocidal threat of the first order.
This is the kind of language that you expect from Adolf Hitler, not from an American president.
And what's going on here is he's desperate and he's threatening to annihilate the Iranians to get them to throw up their hands before he has to attack them that evening.
He wants them to concede defeat.
By the end of the day, he does a 180 degree turn and he says there's going to be a ceasefire.
But most importantly, he says that the ceasefire will be based on Iran's.
10 point plan.
Now, you want to understand that there are two plans on the table.
One is the 15 point American plan, which has all the maximalist demands of the United States and Israel.
And then there's the Iranian 10 point plan, which has all the maximalist demands of the Iranians.
And he says that the negotiations will take place on the basis of the Iranians.
10 point plan.
This is really quite remarkable.
He says the 10 point plan provides a workable basis for an agreement.
And again, these are the maximalist demands of the Iranian government.
He says, furthermore, in the tweet that almost all of the points of contention between the two sides have been resolved.
Again, remarkable.
What's going on here?
He's basically found the Off ramp, and the off ramp is to concede defeat.
It is the only off ramp.
He's long had two options.
One is he could go up the escalation ladder, which is what he was threatening to do in the morning.
But as I've argued for a long time, he can't go up the escalation ladder because he loses at every step.
And the idea that he's going to obliterate Iran, this is.
Not acceptable.
This cannot be done.
So he can't escalate.
So he's got to find an off ramp.
But the only off ramp is surrender, is to concede defeat.
And what he does in the second tweet, again, he reverses gears, goes in the opposite direction, and he concedes defeat.
He says, We're going to negotiate on the basis of the 10 point plan.
This means none of our demands are going to be achieved.
None of the big four demands that we made before the war started and after the war started are going to be realized.
And we're going to negotiate on the basis of the maximalist demands that Iran has put on the table.
So, what I'm saying to you, Glenn, is if you look at the morning tweet and you look at the evening tweet, you see that Trump is desperate.
He's desperate to end this war.
And he wants to get a ceasefire as quickly as possible.
And then he wants to start negotiations.
I think all that was correct up to the intervention by MBS on behalf of Saudi Arabia.
Bad, bad, bad.
Reinforced by, for example, the U.S. releasing $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds.
This is totally appropriate.
The preconditions have been accepted.
So the U.S. is releasing $6 billion.
Joe, I think MBS has done a terrible, terrible thing here, but it really was not MBS's doing.
He was simply appealing to Trump's weaknesses.
He never wants to admit mistakes.
He's, of course, very dedicated to Netanyahu and he loves money.
So I think it's right to say the U.S. had become Saudi Arabia's whore.
We were, of course, given Israel all kinds of money.
We were simply Israel's bitch, but now we have become, in addition, Saudi Arabia's whore.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, well, that's what too much money and oligarchy does for you.
There are 2,500 supposed heirs to the crown.
In Saudi Arabia, and MBS was in competition with some of his top people.
And in order to be able to place himself above everybody else on the pecking order, he conspired with Jared Kushner to get all of the CIA files on all of the other Saudi princes.
Then he invited them to a big event where they were going to discuss the succeeding leadership of the country.
And he arrested 100 of them, he executed some of them, and then the rest of them stole their assets.
And so, bottom line, he was able to.
Consolidate power by using CIA files that he paid $2 billion to Jared Kushner to get, and Kushner got them because he's got top security clearance, even without ever having a security check because his father was an absolute gangster.
So, 100%, the whole system has been 100% compromised, and Trump has his head so far up his butt he can't see anything.
He has stated publicly that he's been studying Hebrew for years and that he can read it fairly well now, and that he wants to convert.
To Judaism.
And so he doesn't do that very often, but once in a while he discloses some ugly truths about himself, and there's more truths that are coming out.
He'll be the ugliest president we've ever had when we get a little bit more evidence on him.
Well, he already converted in 2017, Joe.
I don't have any doubt.
And in fact, the point has been well made.
He's not just the first Jewish president, he's the first Israeli president because every action he's taken is to benefit Israel.
This is disgusting beyond words.
And you want some more information about the dynamics of what's going on?
There's a great hour and a half long interview with Ted Postle.
Who's the MIT professor, expert on nuclear weapons?
They set up a countdown clock.
Yeah, go ahead.
Okay.
Yeah.
Iran versus Israel.
And what he talks about this is at ANI News, and I'll put a link to that.
He said that there is no such thing as an iron dome because you can't possibly intercept more than a 10 to 1 ratio on interceptors versus incoming targets.
He talks about the ammonia perchlorate and aluminum.
That's required to make solid rocket fuel, and that they're getting tons of that solid rocket fuel from China.
He talks about guidance and control systems, and that the Iranians are currently using the Chinese GPS, which is hack proof and spoof proof.
And what they've been able to do with the U.S. GPS system in Ukraine and Iran has also done it is be able to put in false coordinates for targets and have the guided systems come over and bomb places that are absolutely no value.
So, bottom line is.
The United States oligarchy has been defeated 100%.
The whole MIC industry is collapsing.
When Trump was talking about taking out the whole civilization of Iran, the Iranian, the Israelis actually had a countdown clock for the annihilation of Iran.
I mean, this is so awful in so many ways.
Here's a bit of discussion about it.
For Trump's threat to wipe out.
Iranian civilization.
And you know, this is like a celebratory clock.
They're excited.
They can't wait.
I didn't even see this.
This is insane.
They can't wait for Trump to hit that clock.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Everything I see out of Israel is like, it feels like an AI recruitment video for the American Nazi Party.
Yeah.
That is, and that's Channel 13.
That's Channel 13.
Channel 14 is the pro Netanyahu, Likud, fascist channel.
13 is sort of mainstream.
Yeah.
They look so indigenous, don't they?
Yeah.
And you have that, you know, you see in the top right corner that Israeli and American flag sort of merged with Israel over the American flag.
With Israel over the American flag.
But honestly, there's more of a distinction there in that graphic than there is on Fox News.
If you watch Fox News, The Israeli and American flag has sort of been morphed into one.
So even Israel draws more of a distinction with the U.S. flag than American state TV, Fox News, does right now.
But that's what's happening in Israel a countdown clock to the extension, the threatened extinction of a civilization in Iran.
A bunch of demons.
Mac Lumendorff is so good.
I so admire him.
Nobel Prize for Seeking Peace00:05:39
Meanwhile, Iran's backbone.
The IRGC deserves the Nobel.
I actually agree with this 100%.
The warmongering dog Trump wanted to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after resisting his fellow Nazi mentality dictators in Israel, slaughtered children in the tens of thousands.
Was there a single person in his or her right mind on the planet?
Wasn't sickened at the thought of that war criminal getting an award for seeking peace?
Iran, however, clearly has vast support worldwide due to its facing down and defeating the warmongering Trump and his fellow war pigs in Israel.
Iran, through its persistence and determined response to their provoked aggression, has won the world's unlimited respect.
Iran, far more than any nation in recent history, Fully deserves reward.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded only to individuals or organizations who ran as a state cannot receive it.
Therefore, the award should certainly go to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for defeating the new Nazis of Israel, the IDF.
Defending your nation to restore peace in your land is an act, certainly deserving of this award.
I agree, Joe.
Yeah, amazingly enough, Trump got the Israeli Nobel Peace Prize over the weekend.
Can you imagine that?
Pathetic.
We'll be right back.
Al Turner talks about his thing and why we're at war with Iran.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back after this message.

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

You're listening to Revolution Radio, FreedomSlips.com, 100% listener-supported radio, and now we return you to your host.
Well, here we have a report from Hal Turner about why he thinks a war has taken place.
I'm not 100% convinced, but his take is always worth considering.
The green colored little dots on the map are liquid gas ships taking place.
A VLCC tanker holds about 2 million barrels of oil every ship.
You see, headed toward the USA is empty.
They're coming here to fill up.
All those ships used to get oil from the Middle East, now they have to get it from us.
Now, do you see the real reason for the Middle East war?
We are the ones making all the money.
The stupid Israelis think we're over there supporting them.
They're just too arrogant, obnoxious, unschooled, psychotic, and short sighted.
To see the only actual reason we're doing this is to force the world to buy oil from us.
They think we somehow actually care if they're obliterated by Iran.
Hint, we don't care at all.
Oh, did I mention US dollars only to fill up those ships?
Thank you.
So much for de dollarization.
The bankers, City of London, thought the US was going to protect their gigantic dark money oil cash flow from the Middle East.
They haven't thought we needed them.
They thought they had us by the balls.
Now, who has whom by the balls?
Give it a few more days for the Eurofag vessels of NATO to realize they better do what the U.S. warns, or maybe no oil or gas for them, too.
The world needs oil.
There are only so many places to get it.
Most of those places are cut off by the Iran war.
Their choices are U.S., Russia, Venezuela.
Oops!
That's USA too.
Now Canada or where else?
Nowhere else.
The city of London is getting cash starved.
Their dark money is drying up.
The Eurofags can't go to Russia because they've been so animalistic toward Russia about the Ukraine thing.
They can't dump US Treasury bills and sovereign debt that they've been toying with because if they do, no oil or gas for them.
And beside, they need those things to pay for the oil and gas they must now buy from us.
A slew of people thought Trump was a madman, allowing Israel to start the conflict with Iran.
Turns out he was a genius.
Now the U.S. gets to sell the oil at present high prices, very profitable.
De dollarization is dead.
And NATO once again understands its actual place in the world is on our leash.
That's a fascinating tag.
Joe, to what degree would you agree or disagree with Hal Turner?
You're muted.
Yeah, liquefied natural gas is one of the stupidest products ever invented.
Well, on last week's program, we talked about the SpaceX return to the moon, that they were going to use liquefied natural gas as one of the fuels along with liquefied oxygen.
LNG is minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit to keep it liquid.
Oxygen was minus 297 degrees.
Okay, well, maybe that's okay because that's the only stunt you can pull it to land on the moon.
But in Houston, back when I was doing my rail proposal, Enron got $60 million from the Metro to build LNG buses.
And the LNG buses ended up having total engine failures in less than 100,000 miles on Detroit diesel engines that used to last a million miles because diesel has lubrication properties that LNG didn't have.
And so, bottom line is, after they made all of these buses, converted them, burned up the engines in a dozen buses, they decided, oh, this isn't working.
So, that's been a failed policy all along.
And in order to ship it by ocean, just like he said, all of those are deadheaded.
You come from one place where you pick up LNG, you go park it someplace else where you offline the LNG, and then you have no other sustainable cargo that you can put on that boat other than send it back empty.
And they're sitting there as floating targets with any RCG grenade launcher goes and hits one of those things, and you've taken out a whole entire port.
They're extremely dangerous things to have.
Transiting and offloading, and it's a completely stupid use of material.
I have a good friend of mine who's in the geology and exploration business.
She said that they got a contract in Germany to drill a methane well four years ago.
Well, actually, it took four years to get the permit, and then they brought in a functional well within six months, and they've been waiting two years to be able to offload that gas that's underneath Germany right now into their own stupid damn pipelines because of the environmental concerns.
This is how completely.
Bass, backwards, and stupid the whole entire system is.
And unfortunately, there's few people with enough science education to be able to spot all the bullshit and tell you what's going on.
But in that same vein, last Tuesday night, I did a great interview with a guy named Chris Easley on D Bang FM radio.
It's an hour long interview Body Electric Secrets, Regrowth of Limbs, and Other Miracles.
This is based on the interview that I did on Coast to Coast AM on biomagnetic electric effects.
A really great interview based on a book that's absolutely stunning by.
Robert O. Becker, an orthopedic surgeon, that was called Body Electric.
And this is actually my book review of that, it was the substance of this.
But I go through all of the different things that I've wrote about and researched during the Wu Flu scam, 100% created by Fort Dietrich, the viruses shipped to Wuhan for replication, brought back along with a dangerous mRNA that they knew was only for experimental use authorization.
Glass Shards and Despised Leaders00:07:09
Everything that happened under Wu Flu was 100% eugenics programmed destruction of our society, and it worked.
Yeah, repeat that last part, Joe.
What was that part that worked?
Tell us again.
Yes, yes, the destruction of our society, and it worked.
I had relatives that were not able to have a senior prom or go to a senior graduation because there was social distancing.
We had this ignorant governor in Texas that put the whole state on lockdown for a year.
I attended 50 medical freedom rallies all across Texas.
I talked with the greatest experts.
I explained stuff to them, and they explained stuff to me.
I understand what the hell's going on.
But there's few people that do.
And unfortunately, that's what we're dealing with.
But all you can do as a subject under this totalitarian regime is find and share truth.
And I highly recommend my article.
It's at Principia Scientific.
I will put a link to it.
Here's a nice summing up Israel, the most despised, loathed, and reviled nation on the planet.
No doubt individual Jews encountered as tourists or guests outside of Israel will, in general, be treated just as you would anyone else, neutrally, lovingly, whatever.
But the Israeli state, those governing it, its armed forces, they are reviled, hated, despised, and wish the most awful of fates.
Currently, whenever a video of damage or even loss of life in Israel appears anywhere across social media, Media is now cause for celebration, sarcasm, calls for more, and sentiments bemoaning the fact that buildings are left standing and posters speaking of having been checked, confirming they have no sympathy.
Netanyahu and his evil mob of new Nazis have made Israel the most despised nation on the planet.
This feeling extends to any Jew within Israel who is a part of these child killers, and the reports from even mainstream reporters indicate that support for the genocidal policies of their government is consistently over 80% among Israelis.
Despite the horrific reputation the Jewish nation of Israel now has as a vile pit of murderous swine, Netanyahu and his regime seem determined to only increase the level of death, destruction, and suffering they are causing.
The demand that they suffer in return is at peak levels, and the likelihood of Israel ever again seen as a decent law abiding nation is so low as to be considered virtually zero.
Israel's leaders have achieved the unimaginable.
They have framed the Jews, the Jewish faith, and the Jewish land of Israel.
As virtually equivalent to the Nazis.
Those who have followed the historical actions of individual Jews and Jewish Middle East since the late 40s will have been unsurprised at their actions in recent times.
These are consistent with so much of what has gone before.
The relentlessly callous and murderous acts against a virtually helpless Palestinian population have been noted by historians.
Recorded in various forms across hundreds of publications and across the internet as well.
Also, the Nakba.
Type the Nakba in any AI app, for instance, and you can read extensively about what certain Jews have done with virtual impunity against the Palestinians as your starting point.
No one should be condemned for merely being Jewish or treated harshly in any way for being Jewish.
But a Jew supporting the genocide policies of their current regime, either against the Palestinians or the people of Lebanon or Syria, must receive bariah status by all in contact with that person as a matter of principle.
No welcome of any kind, no friendly voice of any kind should be received by such a person.
Not until the current leadership and regime in Israel has been removed from power and the Israeli population as a whole has regained its humanity in full and is no longer racist,
permeated by a Nazi mentality, or tolerates the imposition of a fascistic apartheid state until that day dawns, Israel will without any doubt whatsoever continue to be.
The most despised nation on the planet.
Joe, that's quite an emphatic statement, but I think it's basically fundamentally sound.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, well, you can't hide the damage, even though they try to prevent any videos from getting out and any testimonials.
The problem that they've got in Israel is that most of their high rise buildings are glass curtain wall buildings.
That's aluminum mullion with glass windows in it.
And if you have a hypersonic missile go off within a half mile, You shattered enough glass in that building that you can never replace the glass in time to keep the interior from decomposing.
And so, bottom line is, every one of those skyscrapers is going to be skeletal and have to be gutted all the way down to the foundations to be able to refurbish them at all because everything that's inside is going to get water damaged, mildew, start rotting, mold.
There'll be absolutely no way of saving 90% of the buildings inside their major cities.
So, that's something that.
Is going to drive them away from there.
And there's already, because they've bombed the Ben Gurion airport, their only commercial exit airline wise, and they bombed the port, so there's no cruise ships that are taking them away.
The lines going into Jordan and Egypt are absolutely astronomical.
Mile long lines of people in Israel trying to escape.
It's Exodus in reverse.
And Lord help us.
I hope they get out of there and find some other place.
And every IDF.
A pilot should be banned by every airline in the world.
They should all be tried as war criminals because there's none of them that participated in any of that that have any right to be flying anybody else on a plane anywhere.
Webster Tarpley Rogue Network Theory00:12:10
Joe, your scientific, your technical background as an engineer just makes it different time and time and time again.
Here we go, Kevin Barrett.
Has Israel hijacked America's brain?
Actually, I don't think there's a lot of room for doubt about it.
He begins with a couple of quotes.
Top Israeli leaders raped their own daughters with snakes to bring on their Messiah.
Shoshana Strzok, abuse survivor who died March 15th at age 38, probably out of retaliation for her observations.
You were using biological metaphors, biological metaphors to describe an entire group of human beings as sick, disgusting, uncalled for.
Webster Tarpley screaming at Greg Felton, author of The Host of the Parasite, how Israel's fifth column consumed America.
I remember how in June 2012, at the Vancouver 9 11 hearings, Webster Tarpley unloaded on Greg Felton.
We were having dinner after the conference final session, and Tarpley had not enjoyed the conference.
He didn't approve of topics like no planes hit the towers and 9 11 may have involved extraterrestrials.
On those two issues, I saw Tarpley's point.
But what Tarpley hated most about that conference, which was organized by my friend Jim Fetzer, who had enjoyed defying George W. Bush by more than tolerating outrageous conspiracy theories.
Was Greg Felton's use of the host and bear site metaphor to describe the U.S. Israeli relationship?
Webster Tarpley is a smart guy who wrote a good book about 9 11.
Its subtitle tells us 9 11 was made in the USA.
As he screamed at Felton, Tarpley insisted that the 9 11 truth movement had lost its way by increasingly blaming Israel.
9 11 was an inside job, Tarbly insisted.
Haven't we spent many years copywriting that phrase?
Blaming Israel made it sound like an outside job.
We were ruining our image, making ourselves look like a bunch of Nazis.
I said, wait a minute, Webster.
Your book explained how the 9 11 conspirators came in three flavors bulls, technicians, and patsies.
The patsies, of course, were Muslims.
But wouldn't you agree that the moles were pro Israeli people infiltrating the U.S. government?
And wouldn't you agree that the technicians who blew up the World Trade Center and remote hijacked the planes were likely Israelis as well?
Webster sputtered a non substantive answer.
I pressed him.
The term mole normally refutes to an asset of one nation's intelligence agencies who worms its way into a high position in another nation's government.
If the moles you say did 9-11 weren't working for Israel, which nation were they working for?
Webster's answer: it was a rogue network of invisible government made up primarily of Americans, loyal only to their own rogue network, not any government or nation.
I cited Alan Sobrosky, the half Jewish former director of strategic studies at the US Army War College, who made headlines by claiming to my radio show on March 20th, 2010, saying it was 100% certain that 9-11 was a Mossad operation.
Sobrosky said 9-11 was such a big complex op that it had to have been run by one of the world's very small number of intel agencies with the resources to pull such a thing off.
And there were only two candidates, the CIA and Mossad.
The CIA, Zabrowski said, obviously wouldn't do such a thing as an agency, but Mossad, using its extensive network of American bulls and all relevant agencies, would.
Indeed, Israel benefited massively from 9 11.
No other nation did.
And Israeli sympathizers run the media.
Which was instrumental in the cover up, figured out who must have been behind 9 11, was not rocket science.
Tarpley responded that such talk was anti Semitic.
He said many CIA and military insiders hate Israel, falsely blame it for all sorts of things.
He said the real villains were the Nazis and the WASP, who created secret societies and road networks based on white supremacists and British supremacist ideology.
In other words, according to Tarpley, it was the enemies of the Jews who carried out the gargantuan 9 11 covert op, whose only geostrategic beneficiary was Israel.
The Bush family, Tarpley said, was Nazi to the core.
He had written about it.
Blame Bush and his family for 9 11.
And Cheney was even more central.
Joe.
I, of course, organized a conference when I invited Webster, who had the book 9 11 Synthetic Terror Made in the USA.
He alone, he alone insisted that I should cover all of his expenses, not just his ticket, his hotel room, even his meals.
And I, foolishly or not, agreed to do that.
And when it came time, as a conference was held, and because I had Decided to put it in a theater rather than hold that at the hotel where everything would have gone perfectly according to schedule.
Webster revealed himself to be a Zionist shill, I gotta tell you.
There was no doubt about it.
And it's only in retrospect that you realize that by calling it made in the USA, he was deliberately attempting to deflect attention away from Israel, which of course was behind 9-11.
It was an Israeli hobby.
It's my book.
America nuked on 9 11.
America nuked with a subtitle Compliments of the CIA, the neocons, and the DOD and the Mossad Raw Flags.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, well, Tucker right now is interviewing a guy that has some information on the Qatar $50 million a year in cash that was given to them by Nutty Yahoo.
And then he ordered them to give them $50 million cash back so that he could give it to Hamas and to the Palestinian Authority, kind of split it.
35 to Hamas, 15 to Palestinian Authority.
So he could keep those two fighting for power.
So as long as there was no authorized head of the Palestinians, then there could be no peace because you can't have peace unless you have somebody that can talk for your group.
As far as the 9 11, yeah, we had NORAD that was 100% compromised.
Two thirds of the NORAD fleet that was supposed to protect the airspace in the Northeast were sent off to do exercises, some of them in Nebraska and the others as far away as Alaska.
So they couldn't participate at all.
And then NORAD contacted ATC and said, We're running an exercise.
We need to have you put some false targets on your radar.
So they had tons of false targets that the ATC said, We can't tell where these targets are.
They're not communicating with us.
We don't know what they're doing.
And they're phoning in the locations to the NORAD fighter jets that are out there circling around.
They're going, There's nothing here.
They were all fan of targets.
Well, you didn't do that with just Mossad, you had to have compromised people 100% in the DOD.
This was 100% a DOD, CIA, Mossad operation.
And they probably had a little bit of help from MI6 because they like getting their dirty hands in every dirty thing that goes on on the planet.
So, yes, this was a 100%.
And if you start looking at the news media and the hierarchy in the military, you have a preponderance of people that are less than 1% of the population in America that are in leadership positions in all of those groups.
So, there's your problem, kids.
We won't be able to go very far, but here's Max Blumenthal explaining how the Trump administration was infiltrated with Zionists and its cutouts in the United States.
And editor in chief at the media outlet The Gray Zone.
And I will make sure to leave a link to it in the description.
So thank you again for coming back on the program.
Thanks a lot, Glenn.
Great to be back.
So, according to the New York Times, part of the problem.
With or one of the reasons for Trump engaging in this disastrous war was that the Israelis apparently had a key role in convincing him.
Now, you, not just in the past, you have made this very strong argument that the Israeli influence in the US is quite powerful to the extent that you essentially have Israeli agents in the White House.
I was wondering how intrusive is this influence?
What's all encompassing and it defines Donald Trump's entire career.
And, you know, even if you go back to Fred Trump gifting land to the Chabad Lubavitch cult, which has a very pronounced presence in Donald Trump's inner circle, it goes back to his father's time.
Donald Trump's entire world is surrounded.
I mean, his world, his political world is defined by pro Israel billionaires who are his counterparts coming up in New York.
Charles Kushner, for example, who is also a very corrupt real estate baron.
Howard Lutnick was someone who was in Trump's world as the CEO of Canner Fitzgerald and someone who is also closely connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
Steve Witkopf was Trump's longtime golfing buddy, major real estate baron who's very much a part, along with his sons, of the.
Zionist political world and the Zionist Thanks to Joe for his excellent commentary, everyone.
