#956: August 18, 2024 dissects Alex Jones’ wild DNC predictions—Hezbollah sleeper cells, Michelle Obama’s coup, and Tim Walz as a "communist Chinese agent"—debunking recycled right-wing memes like Nazi "strength through joy" slogans and his false ties to Walz’s 1990 cultural exchange article. Jones also pushes election-era biothreat conspiracies, ignoring the WHO’s monkeypox emergency declaration, while framing anti-price gouging laws as communist. Friesen and Holmes mock his declining credibility, comparing it to a wrestler’s desperate reinvention, as the DNC unfolds without chaos. [Automatically generated summary]
And I think that that's, you know, I think that the issue is without any of this, Alex's rhetoric kind of is disappointing.
You know, we've built up to this, and if it's just a number of speeches and then Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are the nominees coming out of it, I don't, I feel like Alex should he's got to move goalposts a lot.
Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of people are discounting just how important dogs and fire hoses were back in the day towards causing a lot of problems at protests.
And there just aren't as many fire hoses being thrown at people these days.
So we, you know, obviously we don't know everything that's going to happen, but as it stands right now, I think that this is underwhelming based on how Alex has built it up.
Yeah.
But we'll see how he sets things up on Sunday, the night before things get going here today, as we discuss August 18th.
That's it.
But first, let's take a little moment and say hello to some new walks.
I'm about to play you a clip of what Michael Moore said about Trump, but he still works against him.
unidentified
InfoWars, the most banned network in the world.
Donald Trump came to the Detroit Economic Club and stood there in front of the Ford Motor executives and said, if you close these factories as you're planning to do in Detroit and build them in Mexico, I'm going to put a 35% tariff on those cars when you send them back and nobody's going to buy them.
It was an amazing thing to see.
No politician, Republican or Democrat, had ever said anything like that to these executives.
And it was music to the ears of people in Michigan and Ohio and Pennsylvania.
In the part that's played, Moore is expressing what the allure of Trump is and how he represents a big middle finger that people want to give to the man.
If you watch the rest of what he's saying, Moore goes on to explain that Trump is never going to do the things he says that you like, that you want to happen, and you're going to be disappointed once the feeling of throwing up that middle finger wears off.
So this is just like, I don't know, eight-year-old clip with swelling music behind it being presented dishonestly.
So Tim Walz taught English in China in the late 80s, excuse me, and has been to the country many times, at least some of those instances, taking his U.S. students on field trips to sort of a cultural exchange kind of thing.
There isn't anything wrong with this, but it's enough of a kernel for Alex to turn into this elaborate fantasy narrative, which is what he's doing.
This is the new angle.
And Walls, he's such a friend of the Chinese government that he's publicly expressed opposition to their expansion in the South China Sea, and he met with the Dalai Lama while he was seated in Congress.
He is somebody who's been somewhat critical of the Chinese government in the past.
We have Tim Walz, even more information on stolen valor, pushing to castrate children, take them away from their parents, little girls as well, sterilize them.
But now the fact that he has the total signature and MO, 100% a communist, Chinese spy.
And then you have his rhetoric and his actions.
He's a globalist, and he fits in with, you know, hell, half the Democrats in Congress are admitted communist Chinese spies.
This is just insane.
But new videos have come out.
This is very damning.
And news articles, he was interviewed when he was in college and then when he got out of college, leading large groups of Americans to be compromised in communist China.
And he basically admits that he's been on their payroll.
I think a lot of teachers would be surprised to discover that every field trip they have ever taken to anywhere was in direct service of compromising those children.
And Walls was actually the one who called in the National Guard, not the person doing some kind of a stand down.
Alex's narrative on this is confusing because he's also been trying to paint Walls as a tyrant using the National Guard to terrorize the public in 2020.
Nobody, he's he's done, he doesn't actually have a handhold, and he's trying to throw everything out there, but there's just really comical and it's extremely different.
No, and I mean, yeah, and even then, like, she's opening the window, smelling the burning tire.
So Walls actually spoke at the House of Representatives 2014 session memorializing the 25th anniversary of Tiananmen Square.
He said, quote, I'm very cognizant there's an entire generation of Americans who don't understand what happened there.
They don't understand what the impact of it was.
I think many of them, once they knew, would stand proudly with those fighters of human rights.
I think for all of us, if we do not commemorate and we do not remember those who are willing to risk it all, it puts us all at risk of history forgetting the lessons that were there.
He went on to say, quote, the lesson to me, though, was when you watch these things happen, you can just justify and make up in your mind any reason possible that you didn't stand up or that something didn't happen and that no one remembered.
I think it's critically important globally that we mark this in the right tone.
We listen to the experts who were there before and after, the witnesses who were there, and then understand what the implications of this are.
Because I think many of us, as you know, for many people, it would just be convenient to just pretend it didn't happen.
Just pretend we moved on.
Just pretend for all involved.
But that's not what we can do.
That's not what the memory of those people that stood there deserve.
And they're like, so, you know, so then what happened?
Like, they didn't know, they were like, oh, so the tank stopped.
My friends?
No, no, But that's the interesting idea from the image: people like writing the next steps in their own head where the tanks are like, oh, I apologize.
But Walls, I mean, like, as somebody who has lived in China and has a connection to the people of China, I think he has a more thoughtful position on this than Alex.
And this cartoonish version that he's trying to paint is just dumb.
I mean, I guess remembering my days in high school sports and baseball and football and stuff like that, maybe you could catch him saying not nice things to kids.
I got a lot of, I mean, there were a lot of words that were allowed to be thrown around back in those days that the coaches that I had did not seem to have qualms about.
So it's possible that that's there, but I'm not even saying that's there.
Strength through joy isn't a Harris campaign slogan.
She's talked about joy a bit in speeches and stuff, but this is just something that the right-wing groups have claimed as your slogan because it attaches to Nazi roots.
Anyway, it's not a Harris slogan, but if Alex wants to play this game, America First was the American fascist slogan chanted by Nazi sympathizers in World War II.
Drain the Swamp is a direct reference to Mussolini.
He should be asking more questions about this stuff if he cares.
And again, they're using the non-white populations worldwide to teach them communism.
But because whether you're in India or whether you're in Latin America or whether you're, you know, people don't tend to buy into communism.
They know it doesn't work.
It works for the globalists, but not for the general public.
So instead, they found the 60s, 70s, and 80s, the Communist Party did here in America, this is on record, that they couldn't get black people, particularly, to become communist very, very often.
But if they made it racially based instead of class envy to accept communism, if they tied communist policies to racial issues, they could get a better percentage, still on a majority, of black folks to sign on.
And then separately, they can use white guilt and bullying whites through the corporate media.
If they don't get on board with globalist policies, communist policies, utilitarian policies, then they get lectured and told how bad and how evil they are.
It's just that what it is is reflective of the intellectual tradition that he comes from, where it's not so much that communists have tricked racial groups into supporting communism.
I like how Alex has to try and reassure himself that we're not just throwing around these accusations in vain.
And the fact that he throws around this very extreme shit, like so liberally, he has to try and self-soothe himself to be like, I'm not minimizing the seriousness of my attacks by throwing them everywhere.
So this is ironic because before Trump twisted all these little idiots' minds, Alex routinely accused Savage of promoting rounding up Bush's political enemies and putting them in FEMA camps.
It's almost like these extreme accusations he makes have no connection to reality.
A large part of this episode is Alex opposing proposed anti-price gouging legislation, saying any kind of price fixing is communism.
This is a classic no-lose situation if you're Alex, because he doesn't actually really care about the issue.
He just cares about using it to attack the government.
When there's price gouging, corporations make a ton of money by screwing people over, and Alex can get on the soapbox and demand the government do something about it so these greedy corporations can't exploit the population.
When there's an attempt by the government to do something that would prevent price gouging, he gets to yell about how any attempt to solve the issue is an evil, tyrannical plot, in effect working to make sure that the problem of price gouging is never actually addressed.
You might notice that no matter what, if things go the way Alex wants, his actions and rhetoric serve the interests of big business.
And that is not a coincidence.
Also, Naomi Wolf's husband should probably be arrested if what Alex is saying is true.
He's disseminating confidential information to his wife, who's then telling Alex Jones, which doesn't seem cool.
It's their right to, and the market will correct for this.
Companies that steal from you will not succeed because people won't like them or whatever.
I mean, it's not a coincidence that Fred Koch was one of the founding members of the John Birch Society and that all their recruiting was from the National Association of Manufacturers.
But for those of us that are awake, we know monkeypox is a fraud.
We know this stuff's all a scam.
We predicted it would come.
It happened right on time.
We got big news on that coming up at Recover Waltz.
But still a large portion of the public, they believe whatever they're told.
They go out and get 10 booster shots till they die.
And they're just rolling it out.
I mean, I've been telling you for years, right before the next general election, they're going to launch monkeypox and bird flu.
And they've done both.
And it's not even hard to predict it.
They got all their war games that they put out two years ago predicting for the election they would do this.
Dr. David Martin's done a great job breaking it down.
And then Reuters counters saying no evidence that the 2021 nuclear threat initiative exercise proves Monkey Pox outbreak was planned.
They do all these fake newscasts and war games at the UN global level predicting exactly what's happening now, just like the SPARS plan, just like Event 201, just like Operation Lockstep.
So this is from a 2021 exercise titled Strengthening Global Systems to Prevent and Respond to High Consequence Biological Threats.
In the exercise scenario, a terrorist group steals a strain of monkeypox from a lab and uses it to attack a neighboring country that they have long-standing hostilities with.
This spreads to the world and ultimately kills 270 million people.
I mean, it's just tabletop gaming is hard to be intimidated by now.
I imagine it was, I imagine like the idea of people like role-playing this kind of scenario is a lot scarier to a generation that's not fully 100% like playing Boulder's Gate 3 right now.
Maybe, but I think even if you understand what it is, if you just understand what the source material that's being used is, it should take away some of the mystique.
It's like asking yourself what you'll need when you get somewhere before you go.
Because if you do, then you're just trying to hurt my foot.
So this same group, the Nuclear Threat Initiative, did a tabletop exercise the next year about a possible outbreak of the Ahmeda virus.
In 2019, they did one about the mnemonic plague breaking out in a country with weak centralized government and terrorist instability.
These aren't expressions of the plans that globalists have.
It's a way that experts and people in leadership roles can expand their awareness of how to respond to an emergency situation before an emergency happens.
Once it's started, it's too late.
You cannot plan once the emergency has happened.
And guess what?
You don't plan, you're going to learn some of the same lessons that you would in a tabletop exercise, except the consequences will be much worse.
So the WHO has announced that monkeypox or MPox is now a global health emergency.
That did happen recently.
And that means that it's spreading, but that doesn't mean that everyone has to panic.
This declaration was made in 2022 and people responded with appropriate caution.
And so it didn't become a pandemic on the level of COVID.
Regardless of how things progress from here, the situation isn't really comparable because monkeypox isn't a new condition and doctors are well versed in how to deal with it.
COVID was a novel condition, which compounded the threat that it posed as a global pandemic.
Awareness of the situation and exercising caution is the appropriate thing to do for this almost everywhere that Alex could possibly be broadcasting to and not panicking about it or thinking that it's fake or some sort of global control scheme.
I get the color coding, you know, that method of like, oh, we're at an orange threat level or whatever it is, as long as I have any idea of what your color's actual threat means.
But for some reason, when you call it a global health emergency, I get why people can panic.
It sounds emergency is a dangerous word, you know, but it's, but what are they supposed to call it?
Like, bad thing, responsible people are responsibly responding.
You know, like, how do you, how do you correctly or like non-panic point out that there is a thing, but responsible people do exist and they are taking the appropriate measures.
So he goes to college in the 80s and he gets his degree and he joins the Confucian Society, which is admitted communist Chinese government run.
They're an outlaw in the U.S. going back five years ago, six years ago, the middle of Trump's term, admitted, run by the Chinese government.
And then he goes and basically lives there.
We got a clip of him saying that.
At first, it was 18 trips, then 23 trips, then 36 trips.
And now it's like, well, he lived there.
And he's probably a double agent because he'd be given extended leave and stuff to go, you know, stay there for three, four months.
I mean, weirdness, folks, but he's clearly working for them.
So now these newspaper articles come out because a week ago, the students were going public, doing interviews, being interviewed by newspapers, saying, look, he promoted Mao.
He said Tiananmen Square was good they killed those people.
He is a hardcore Maoist.
He has a collection of Mao memorabilia.
He gives everybody little red books and says you should follow them.
I mean, this is empty red books.
Even to the communist Chinese, they've rejected most of them.
Diji Ping's gone back to some of it.
But just in, Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz, again, supports a guy that killed over 80 million of his own people.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democrat presidential candidate, Kamala Harris running mate, had a friend in China's foreign affairs department because it's not just the students saying it now.
They found the news articles.
We got a whole bunch of them.
And the Chinese government, their State Department, used him as an agent to run a whole bunch of trips into China through the Confucian Center.
So that right there, you're a communist Chinese agent.
Then he talks about all the wonderful gifts the Chinese communists gave him and how wonderful it was and told his students and told the groups he led, you're going to get a lot of free stuff.
So much stuff you, quote, can't even carry it all home.
So let's go ahead and play these two newest clips of him talking about living in China.
unidentified
Now, I happen to be and understand a little about China and lived in China and speak Chinese.
I'm pretty friendly with China.
Staff school will say, someone who's been in Congress, sets someone who's been in elected office for 25 years, or set someone who's your neighbor who's been teaching your kids and been serving in the guard unit and has been fostering cooperation amongst people in China and the United States on their own.
Understanding that these are the things that tie us together.
But the picture that Alex is painting selectively edits out the parts where Walls has been critical of the Chinese government.
So you can pretend that when he says stuff like, I like, I'm a friend of, I'm friendly with China, you can pretend that he's not saying that about people.
I think that there is a difficulty that Alex finds himself in.
And I can't sort of untangle this from the fact that this is the night before the DNC starts.
This is supposed to be this big moment when there's a conflagration of some sort, whether it's assassinations or whether it's Michelle Obama taking over the party.
There's something that's supposed to be happening.
And that time has come, right?
And it's going to be a letdown for Alex.
And the only thing he can do is like, well, Walls went to China.
