Mike Adams and Jeffrey Prather: U.S. Military Actions in Venezuela and Mexico, Trump's Wars...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right, welcome everybody to this interview today with Jeffrey Prather, America's intelligence officer.
His website is Jeffrey Prather.com.
And his show, the Prather Point, airs every Tuesday and Thursday.
We'll talk about that coming up.
Welcome, Jeffrey Prather.
It's an honor to have you back on, sir.
Thanks for having me, Mike.
Good to be back with you.
It's great to have you back.
And as always, there are so many things happening in the world that just demand good, honest, high integrity analysis.
And I think that's what you bring to the table.
Just want to mention, you know, you were a whistleblower.
You were calling out uh corruption within the government.
You know, you've you've worked with the DEA and the DIA and uh, you know, border operations smuggling, human trafficking, drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, you name it.
And you dared to tell the truth, and they went after you for it.
So that now, you know, you're you're America's intelligence officer.
You answer to the people, not the establishment.
Is that is that a pretty good description?
Is that fair?
That's that's fair and more than fair.
Okay, okay.
Well, great.
I just I just want people to know where you're coming from on this.
I've known you for years now.
We've done many, many interviews together, and uh I think uh history is unfolding now faster than ever and more dangerously than ever.
And I'd like to start with your analysis of the Venezuela situation.
Uh Venezuela, I think has the largest oil reserves in the world or close to it, even perhaps as much as Russia, which is really saying something.
Uh what do you make of the current uh posturing of the United States military seemingly wanting to threaten Venezuela, possibly for a decapitation strike?
Well, Trump has just uh changed the cartel wars.
I'm saying that uh Trump has multiple wars to wage.
Uh he's got a war that wage the unrestricted warfare against China, which he's doing through the tariff wars, which I thought he was doing pretty good.
He's got a wage a war against the deep state, which he's capitulated in, as far as I can see.
But he's also got the cartel wars.
Of course, one of the cartels that he declared war on was the Sinaloa cartel, the one I uh fought and became a whistleblower uh over.
But besides uh hitting now um two uh drug boats, uh he's actually said that he wants to conduct operations against uh Venezuela, which is very different than going after the cartels, which he has labeled as terrorist groups.
Terrorists are non-uh nation-state uh entities uh for uh the most part, although Qatar today is talking about Israel as a uh uh nation-state entity as a terrorist group, but we'll maybe we'll get to that.
Uh but he Trump is now saying he wants to uh wage war against Venezuela and inside Venezuela.
Uh and so that is a real uh change.
And that uh is very, very significant.
That that's a totally new inflection point.
Right.
And and you and I both, I think, share the same concerns over this.
But you know, a few months ago, Trump was talking about using military forces on the ground in Mexico to go after the cartels.
Now talking about it in Venezuela.
And uh Jeffrey, I don't I don't think this is about fentanyl.
I mean, for years we've been told that you know China is the one working with Mexican cartels to smuggle fentanyl.
Uh I I think this is about oil.
I mean, I think it's really about resources uh and drugs are just the excuse.
But am I am I wrong about that?
Or would you agree with that?
Or what's what are your thoughts?
Well, uh I am unsure about that.
Of course, the fentanyl is coming in through the western coast of Mexico from China, and fentanyl, I think is a straight bioweapon masquerading as drugs uh through Venezuela, and I've actually worked Venezuela.
Yeah.
Uh that's where all the human trafficking uh is coming uh through, along with uh drugs.
Uh so I think this is partly uh that.
I mean, we have a lot of oil as well.
Uh we don't really need Venezuelan oil with with uh Trump going back to opening up American uh oil fields.
But having spent a lot of time in Central and South America, uh, I do think that we do need a presence uh there.
Uh when we uh for the war on terrorism after 9-11, we basically left Central and South America, and now the result is that uh China influence Has uh returned and the uh narcos are controlling all the plazas up from uh South America.
So uh it's a bold move, uh, but I don't think it's necessarily uh a bad move because you you have to introduce uh at the source as well.
And so in my day, we did that uh through uh Special Forces, Seven Special Forces.
My old group is the Latin America group.
Uh so for example, they've been all over Central and South America, they've had a constant presence in Colombia uh for a long time.
And then the the drug enforcement administration's uh snow cap pro uh program, which I was a snowcap operator, uh, which is where you went back to um uh a light leaders course, a light ranger course, uh, and then you deployed with host nation uh military and police counter drug in central and South America is a very effective way uh of uh doing that because you're filling in the vacuum uh there that will be filled uh by the drug cartels.
So I'm I'm not necessarily seeing this as a bad thing at all.
This is definitely in our sphere of influence.
Uh it's definitely overwhelming us with drugs and illegals uh and terrorists.
Uh so uh and I'm not so sure it's about uh oil, because I think we have enough oil uh on our own.
Yeah, I I absolutely understand that, but where I was coming from on that is that Trump is attempting to control the international oil trade, for example, threatening India and China for purchasing oil from Russia.
And I I think Trump wants Venezuela to uh refuse to sell oil to anybody that Trump is sanctioning, which which could be true.
I mean, it seems like there's an energy chokehold maneuver that Trump is attempting to uh pull off.
And I think that's why it might involve Venezuela.
That's all.
No, I'm certainly that's certainly uh that's certainly a factor, and you can't ignore that factor at all.
Uh but if he's doing that, then what's going on with uh Qatar?
Because that's another uh not oil, but uh natural gas.
The Qatar uh offs offshore uh natural gas field uh is an incredible.
That's why they're so rich when they were nothing uh before.
Uh and uh he seems to have endangered all of that, at least on the surface, although I suspect uh there's a lot of uh skulldugery behind just what went what went on.
Yeah, I absolutely agree with you on on that very point.
Um do you think then that this is going to coalesce into some kind of uh precision ground action, like Navy SEALs team or something like that trying to do something in Venezuela?
And also, you know, what gives Trump I mean we've got to talk about rule of law here.
You know, what under what law, under what international law does America have the right to go in and just conduct military operations without a declaration of war and uh on on foreign soil like that.
That's a great question, and I've seen uh mistakes in the media uh talking about this because the uh whether it's uh overt uh uh or not is the government of Venezuela is not controlling, at least overtly uh the cartels, the human trafficking cartels and drug cartels that come uh through there.
Now they're paid off, they're threatening everything, uh, you know, just like the government of Mexico uh as well, but not overtly.
So uh Trump up till now has not uh targeted the government of Venezuela, nor, for example, the government of Mexico.
That's very different.
Uh and what he did with the military coming into Mexico very briefly was again, my old group, Seven Special Forces Group went down uh there and did a brief training mission, although I'm sure that's being followed up.
What's unique about that is that had not happened before.
Um we were in a lot of countries.
I was never in Mexico uh in Special Forces.
Uh I was in Guatemala right below it, uh, but not in Mexico.
I was in Mexico as a drug enforcement administration uh special agent, uh, but we were still unarmed in my day after Kikikam Rain, although we carried our guns anyway under our shirt.
Um So that was a that was a big inflection point of just having the military begin to open uh that door.
And this would be another big inflection point of going back into Venezuela.
We've been in Venezuela before.
SEALs are uh for um raids and uh snatches.
So in that regard, uh coming off of the uh off of uh the ships uh raiding and hitting um drug labs uh would certainly be a SEAL mission.
Yeah in my day it was a snow cap mission with host military and police counter drug.
Uh but if you want to really have a long-standing effect, then you want special forces to go in there uh and do training ops where you where you mold and change the culture uh of the military establishment.
So which I've often said uh that as America's empire to continue to decline, we will look like Venezuela.
It's not gonna be zombies, it's gonna be Venezuela.
And what's that look like?
That means uh reduced or no middle class, a lot of poverty, uh a lot of elite.
The police respond in teams.
When I was running around Caracas, the police drove around in four or six-man uh teams because there's armed gangs, they actually shot uh orphan groups running around, uh, you know, kids, orphans uh that band together uh as well.
Uh and we look a lot like Venezuela uh so uh so I think this could be a valid effort.
I'm certainly willing to uh give him the benefit of the doubt, uh at least for the moment on that.
Yeah, I me too.
I'm curious and wondering where this is going, but I'm also um I'm a little bit disturbed or more than a little bit disturbed by the fact that you know, I mean, let's let's back up.
Remember when uh Hillary Clinton and the Democrats were saying, you know, let's just drone strike Julian Assange or others.
And basically the Democrats were saying that anybody we call a terrorist, we could just bomb them and kill them completely outside any due process or rule of law or anything.
And there was a lot of criticism of that from the right.
But now MAGA fully embraces that policy that Trump can just say, oh, it's a boat of terrorists, and then J.D. Vance celebrates, oh, we blew them up, you know.
Um they were they were trafficking uh uh drugs or weapons or or whatever they say.
Uh but then you look at the you know, the boat, the 11 people were in it.
Uh, you know, clearly that's that's probably not a drug trafficking operation.
You have 11 people in there.
Are you concerned about the fact that we could just say, hey, they're terrorists, we blew them up, end of story.
Oh, certainly.
And I and having done boat intradictions, uh 600 kilos of cocaine on a cigarette boat off the coast of Nicaragua, I found both videos very suspicious.
Uh they just didn't look like um drug boats at all.
And the second one, uh, besides the gunner being a terrible shot, um not knowing how to fire a uh 50 calm it the it very much looks staged.
Uh uh I'll say that.
But again, um I think that was a psyop.
I think that was part of a psyop uh to uh put the cartels on notice and put the government on notice, of course, uh when that much money is involved, you know, nobody is going to uh take notice of that.
Uh so uh where this goes, uh we will see.
But it could be uh kinetic up uh maritime blockades, uh, you know, on the uh east eastern seaboard of South America and on the western uh seaboard of Central America.
Uh primarily, of course, on the Western seaboard uh blockading.
I think this is already happening.
Uh Chinese ships had spring fentanyl precursors, and then uh the eastern seaboard of uh South America uh stopping the human trafficking from coming in.
Uh what's really noticeable though, uh, and where the real effect would be, not on these little uh little small boats, but uh actually uh going on The container ships where the where the real amounts are coming in.
And I don't really see and that's where that's something the SEALs could do also very well.
Um they could uh uh fast rope onto those, they can they can get on those, they know how to do that.
Uh but that's a very um labor intensive mission as well because there's so many containers.
Uh, but they have a lot of good technology, but that's where they really uh should be uh focused right now.
Because right now it almost it almost looks like they just want to um eliminate the competition.
Yeah, exactly.
And and that's a very frequent theme, I think, that we encounter.
But I remember a few years ago, you you may know more details than I'm recalling, but I believe that the bank HSBC was involved in money laundering for drug trafficking.
And at one point, didn't HSBC own a container ship that was held in a US port somewhere on the east coast because it was suspected of being a drug trafficking container ship.
Does that ring a bell?
That does ring a bell, and we've seen JP Morgan Chase uh with the usual cast of characters, uh and the FTC uh just hit uh Pornhub uh their parent company, ALO, I believe, for five million dollars uh in 2023 they hit them for uh child trafficking uh and now they're hitting them for child porn as well, which five million dollars is is nothing.
It's a drop in the bucket, but it is a start.
Um and so I also see because it's because warfare is a multi-u-dimensional um endeavor, and so I'm hoping that that is uh coordinated to some degree.
Well, I I mentioned the banks because you know, like you said, bombing these small boats does seem like a bit of distraction theater when the the real bulk of drug trafficking is moving through the big banks, the big boats, the big people are being paid off with big money, you know, like nothing's stopping that, it seems nope.
It doesn't uh it doesn't appear to be.
And and uh that's what I would love to.
I I would be if I saw SEALs fast roping on container ships, I'd be a lot more impressed, and I see you know a 50 caliber raking a little uh dingy.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Okay.
All right.
So I guess we'll just have to stay tuned and see what happens in Venezuela and also with Mexico.
Now, let's talk about Mexico for a second, because the president clearly is under the control of the narcos, and she has threatened Trump, saying, you know, if you if you send troops into Mexico, we we will consider that an act of war.
Uh what do you think is going to happen next with Mexico?
Well, uh hypothetically allegedly, under the previous Trump administration, there just may have been special operations troops, SEALs and special forces in Mexico.
Yes.
Just guessing here.
Um they may have they may have been there uh uh with the uh implicit uh approval of the government of uh Mexico.
So uh if that were the case, and I highly suspect it to be, based upon personal experience and personal sources, then I would think that that could happen again.
Now that's not to say, you know, when when Seventh went down there for that little exercise, everybody's like, oh yeah, that's gonna they're gonna skip me.
They thought it was kind of like um some kind of movie or something.
And this is a decade-long fight uh as you develop uh the indigenous uh forces um and you got to change the whole culture of pluma o plata letter uh letter uh silver that exists down there where you've actually got to build up uh the Mexican forces uh so that they're not so corrupt as they have pensions.
The Federalists now now finally do have pensions.
I remember I used to do a lot of these conferences, and they the last few I was at, you know, uh they were saying, hey, we used to look like the uh the Sinaloan cowboys.
You know we even dressed like them.
Now we got pensions, uh, we're changing.
Uh so there was uh an upward movement.
It's it's a long fight, uh, but that's how that should be waged.
Yeah, and talk about the demand side in the US because it seems to me that the obvious place to interdict this with is better border security.
But we have a massive border, a lot of waterways, rivers and coastline, etc.
Very porous.
Uh How effective can better border security be?
Well, now that Trump has brought the military into it and is bringing military uh Jag, Judge Advocate General uh attorneys down there, I think it can be a lot more effective.
And it's really their job.
It's not posicamatis to defend the border.
That's like actually.
I agree.
Now I worked a lot with Joint Task Force Six back in the day, uh, and it used to be a lot of aggression, more aggressive, um, and things happened.
Uh there was a Marine Patrol down there, uh, and one of them uh shot a kid on the other side.
Then there were also some special forces uh uh hide sites dug in, LPO listing post, observation post, and the somebody published an article saying that uh the planes are still flying through, which embarrassed customs air back in the day and their uh Blackhawk interdiction uh capability.
So politically uh that went away as well.
But with the and actually that's how kind of I ended up getting dual credentialed on the war on drugs.
I was a DEA special agent and DIA and military, you know, and at that time, DOD, CIA, DEA, DOJ, they all wanted a piece of the uh pie of the uh drug of the counter drug uh money that was that was flowing.
So everybody wanted to do that.
But DOD found it very hard to prosecute because um unless you're really just gonna kill them, uh, you know, it's hard.
It's you know uh uh Gothic Serpent, you know, which is Black Hawk Down showed what happens when we try and the military tries and turns into policemen as opposed to killing the enemy uh and capturing the terrain and destroying their will to fight.
Um that's that was the mission creep and in uh Black Hawk Down.
Uh so uh it can be done uh if it is carefully executed, but it is at least uh decade, maybe multi-decade uh long missions to make it effective.
It does make sense to do it from the Mexican American border, Mexican Arizona, uh Texas border uh and through Venezuela as well.
Uh those are two prongs that you would do a pincher movement, make makes total sense to me.
Um but it remains to be seen, you know, how serious um it is.
I'm not even really disturbed by the images of the small boats because you know that's that's PsyOps.
Uh, but I haven't heard about container ships being searched.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh next question.
How how much has the effort to remove illegal immigrants from America?
How much has that also disrupted the illegal drug trade?
Because I think the White House is claiming there's been a million illegals removed.
I I happen to know because I'm in Texas, there are a lot of self-deportations happening.
So that number is probably larger than a million.
It it might be two million.
I mean, even possibly even larger.
But what's the impact of this in terms of uh securing America from the drug trade?
Well, it's essential.
Uh so it's the the dark economy of the deep state is weapons, drugs, and people.
They all go together.
They they go through the same plazas, they go through the same people, the same people that run kids, run drugs, you know, run weapons, you know, Fast and Furious uh, you know, proved that, you know, guns for drugs.
You know, that's my whistleblowing uh days.
So uh is it is it making a difference?
Certainly it's making a difference.
Uh the ratio of it of the deportations is disappointing uh because of the massive numbers that uh Pito Joe and Joe's Pitos uh let in uh under uh under um the guise of uh the Dreamer program and all that other nonsense.
Uh we are way behind uh in those kinds of numbers.
But uh are things happening, uh yeah.
And is that making a difference?
Uh certainly.
Uh and I said that you would see the cartels are not going to give up territory easily.
And so we've seen an uptick uh in um domestic uh cartel violence uh against law enforcement, and it would be labeled that is um you know criminal elements as opposed to Trump's uh war.
Uh so where the cartels are um uh clearly identified uh in American cities, then I could foresee that you'd have uh federal task forces, unfortunately with the FBI uh in there, uh and we've already seen that you know in DC.
Um and it looks like that's gonna be a model that's gonna go out to uh other cities.
Uh and so because of a lot of that resistance is uh cartel subterfuge because they don't want their uh logistics transshipment points interrupted.
Uh-huh.
Uh and they're gonna and they're gonna fight and kill for those.
Uh but really that's the drug war happening.
That's not just uh cops getting shot by criminals.
Uh that's uh cartel uh terrorists uh shooting to maintain their because if you if you shoot enough cops in that area, then they back off.
That's what you've seen in Tucson, uh, for example, for a long time, because they want that line uh through New Gallas to Tucson to Phoenix, uh and then from there you can go uh west to Los Angeles, you know, or east to Detroit, St. Louis, New York.
Yeah, Tucson's really changed since the days that I lived there.
And uh bad real bad.
Yeah.
I mean, the last time I checked, TPD was losing like uh four officers a month.
They're down uh like 800.
Uh they said a while back that you know if you call 911, you may get a recording.
I personally saw cops sitting in graveyards and stuff because they were just you know riding it out to retirement because they knew they weren't going to get backed up uh you know on anything.
So that's that's crazy.
When when I lived in Tucson, I was a board member of the Tucson Police Foundation, and that was when the chief of police was I'm not making this up, it was Miranda, like that was his name.
He was terrible.
I remember you remember him, yeah.
Yeah.
So uh even then they were short staffed.
And uh I remember them saying they were 300 officers short uh to be able to police the city with all the vacations and the shift changes, and now it's far worse.
Uh okay.
Um let's shift gears.
I want to shift gears to the Middle East unless there's anything else you want to add to the uh South American question.
No, uh, but you know, but I well you know that was my area I worked.
I think I did a lot of good work there.
I think we need a presence there.
Uh you know, the presence, the special forces presence was to uh, and at least in my day, uh, was to uh make the host country military and police more ethical.
Uh that is, you know, don't just you know trample on the people, help them.
In in Honduras in Central America, we did a ton of uh med readis, medical readiness training missions where we go into a village and uh you know we'd um deworm, you know, and there were vets and dentists.
I actually got to pull teeth, uh, you know, and as we did that across the country, you know, we we got waves, and the the military uh who are usually looked on as tyrants in those countries, uh that that changed.
Of course, after 9-11, everybody pulled out, you know, everybody goes to the Middle East, uh, and the vacuum was filled uh by the drug cartels and by the Chinese.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, let's let's pivot to the Middle East.
Just recently, of course, uh shocking the world and earning massive uh widespread condemnation.
Uh Israel bombed uh Qatar or Qatar.
I people pronounce it different ways.
How do you how do you pronounce it, Jeffrey?
Qatar.
Qatar, okay.
Well, you and I are the same then.
Um so apparently this there was supposed to be a negotiation with Hamas negotiators.
Trump had tweeted out and you know, really encouraged them to negotiate.
And then just like with Iran, then the negotiators are well, there was an attempt to murder them.
And uh importantly, Israel clearly Israel had cleared airspace through numerous countries.
Uh the U.S. military obviously stood down its air defenses, which brings up many questions about Gulf's Gulf nations.
Uh and then Qatar was bombed.
Uh Qatar has denounced it.
Trump has even tried to distance themselves a little bit from Netanyahu, not that much.
Uh, but of course, China and even heck, even Kir Starmer in the UK denounced the attack.
And that That's saying something.
Um the Saudis have denounced it, etc.
What's what's your take on this incident?
Uh well, this is you know very consistent with uh Israel's seeking a greater Israel to build the Third Temple um uh to install their uh false messiah.
Uh they bombed uh Lebanon, they bombed Yemen, they bombed Syria, and they bombed Qatar.
But the bombing of the uh the um Syrian bombing, I think was Turkish weapons.
So they didn't bomb Turkey yet, uh, but they are clearly continuing to be very aggressive.
But I do see this as very different than the Gaza genocide that you and I have both um stood for and called out.
Um this is this is not the uh the Gazans inside their uh civilians.
This is their uh external negotiating force, which uh and I think only one of them was really killed, Al Haya.
I think one of them was a um a Qatari security official, probably the security official assigned to that group, but their precision scripe scra uh strike didn't seem to get uh all of them.
But this is not like uh the gunning down of uh and starving uh of uh the Gazan civilians.
This is the affluent um outside of Gaza uh negotiate so-called negotiating team uh that was not willing to willing to move forward with really uh anything.
So I think that um Trump gave them a uh warning uh through uh uh Israel, hey, you guys need to negotiate, but the Hamas, the outside Hamas team said uh their directions back to inside Gaza is don't surrender because Gaza has always been this foil uh for the Muslim world against uh Israel.
Both Israel has wanted it and and the Muslim world have have used them uh for that.
They could easily have enrolled them into uh Saudi uh Saudi Arabia any time.
Nobody uh they're tribaless, so uh they don't fit in anywhere.
Nobody really wants them, but everybody wants to use them.
But it's not the same thing uh as the military murder of civilians in Gaza.
Uh it is a strike uh against the negotiating team that wasn't really negotiating.
Uh so I'm not sure that uh uh Israel gave Trump exact notice ahead of time.
They may have just said we're going to hit um or they may have called as they're saying 10 minutes before, uh, but then Trump has already been caught in a lie uh saying that uh he had uh I can't think of the guy's name, the the uh the negotiator, the US negotiator liaison to uh the Hamas group.
Was it Whipkoff or someone else?
Yeah, I think it's Whitkoff.
Okay.
Um that he then called uh Qatar, and then could so Qatar could then alert uh them.
But the Qatari uh prime minister, the Sheik, uh has come out and said that is a lie.
He's actually called Trump a liar that they got the word at uh 10 minutes exactly 10 minutes afterwards.
After, yeah.
Well so that that's very, very significant.
Now, but he may be lying too.
He may because I've also heard that they were overstaying their welcome uh as well uh there.
Uh but this is Jeffrey, the this is very hard to see what's going really going on here.
Yeah, clearly.
Well, uh it's the Middle East.
Um but this is the second time now that Trump has lined up so-called negotiators to be bombed, the previous one in June with Iran.
And it in each case, Trump would publicly encourage them, you must come to the table, you must negotiate.
We're gonna find peace, we're gonna have a peace deal.
And clearly you don't reach peace by murdering the negotiators.
Uh the you know, diplomatically, the uh well, I like your take on this, but I think this is very dangerous to America's reputation in situations far outside of this, like Russia or China.
Because who could trust America to ever negotiate in good faith after these two incidents?
Oh, no doubt.
And we've had the same thing under Obama where you know Obama would betray everyone as well.
Pito Joe, Joe's Pito's actually did some uh moving forward of things with uh with Qatar.
And that's a that's a dangerous game to play uh as well, but it's clear that Trump is totally captured by Israel and Netanyahu and are doing just whatever they want done or just responding to it.
He we know he clearly buys Israeli intelligence more than he buys American intelligence, which is too bad because one of the few uh cabinet members who really seem to be doing anything is Gabbard uh exposing you know what she can have actually you know been uh impressed lately uh with what what she's uh trying to uh bring about but c Trump is clearly captured and this all this weakens not only his um standing in the Middle East uh
But domestically as well, it splits his base from the American Christian Zionists and do whatever Israel wants to the real America firsters who really see through the facade of Israeli Zionism happening.
But it's not the same thing as the murder of innocents in Gaza by any means.
And all parties may have been informed, including the Qataris.
But clearly, Adid, I think it is, a military base, that large military base, our largest in the area, stood down on that.
We were certainly aware of that.
There was coordination ahead of time.
The UAE president has flown into Qatar.
But if we look at it, this is all about resources as well.
And this is all about, you know, because war is really fighting over stuff.
I want your stuff.
You know, I want or I want your woman or I want your kids or I want your stuff.
This is about as far as Qatar goes in that area.
This is the natural gas field, you know, right off their coast underwater there.
And for that seaway to remain open.
And American ally customers.
And I think Trump has really endangered that.
And I can really see Qatar turning to Russia, who would be happy to get all that liquefied natural gas from Qatar as well.
Right now, it's going to Japan, it's going to South Korea, it's going to American allies.
But for Trump, who usually looks at logistics and.
resources very closely and understands that like he did with the Panama Canal which I think he did a great effort with the Panama Canal getting the ununiformed Chinese uh troops neutralizing uh them on the canal and I got a lot of time there as well it seems that he's overlooked that completely here and uh and I don't understand why except that he is totally captured by Israel.
Right, right.
Well clearly that's the case but you said something there I want to check back with you.
Why would Russia want to buy LNG from Qatar when Russia's got so much of its own?
I I didn't follow that.
Well tru so they don't really need it, but they don't want America and their enemies to have it.
So a lot of it's also going to I believe yeah to uh uh European uh allies as well absolutely and Putin just came out uh and condemned um uh israel uh for this so uh Trump has rightfully so uh started the tariff war against the unre China's unrestricted 20 year uh warfare,
and he is wrong, wrongly, you know, in my view, uh seen uh Russia as an enemy for uh defending itself against the genetic weaponry launched through the bio uh labs that uh Obama set up.
Um but uh regardless, Putin's been collecting resources you know for a long time, building that uh and uh China has begun to been to side with uh Russia as well, um uh in because Russia is of course winning, was winning, is winning, will win Ukraine.
I've said that forever.
Um and so Trump is really it looks to me, where he's usually pretty smart about this, is really isolating himself across the world for Israel, who is who betrays him anyway, yeah, and minimalize and marginalizes him whenever they can.
Well, and there will be maybe it may be that he did convert to Judaism, as the rumors say that they have a Kabala future.
Well, I am very concerned about the implications for the economic futures of the American people uh because of Trump's complicity with Israel, going along with Israel.
Now, there you know, there are repercussions here that are very real for Americans, and like you said, America is becoming Venezuela, the middle class is being wiped out.
And that traces back directly to the fact that fewer and fewer countries are willing to buy U.S. treasury debt.
So because of that, then we have to print more of our own money through the Fed to buy our own treasuries, which then increases the money supply, causes more inflation, causes food to go up.
The government's uh statistics of the CPI is the CP lie.
It's not 2.7% inflation.
You know, it's come on, it's 20% inflation for anybody who buys food or buys health insurance or car insurance or home insurance, right?
But it's directly tied to our support for Israel, actually.
So there's an economic cost to the American people, the impoverishment of America, while the average Israeli citizen gets about $300,000 in assistance from the United States per year because of the the overall aggregate support that we provide Israel.
So is Israelis have free health care while the American people are losing their homes and being impoverished because of Trump's complicity with Israel and his blindness to Israel's war crimes and uh genocide.
And don't forget, there's a lot of governments collapsed.
Japan just went through another prime minister, uh France uh the same.
Uh Nepal uh is uh you know burning their government, their former government officials uh alive.
Uh but I think it all goes back really to the deep state, the double government, which I call the intelligence community, the Praetorian Guard in America running the scenes uh uh behind the scenes, uh, you know, pulling the strings of the uh puppet masters, uh and they are in league uh with the global cabal, and part of the global cabal uh is the intelligence structure uh in Israel, the Mossad.
And we also can't, you know, cannot uh forget that this is uh you know September 11th uh tomorrow.
So I think there's uh a lot to be said about that as well.
And so uh Trump may be getting um, I think Mossad has definitely infiltrated our intelligence community uh as well, not gabbard, uh, but that's a fight where the CIA is really coming after Gabbard.
Um, the the DNI, the director of national intelligence, the ODNI, the officer director of national intelligence was taken away from the CIA because they were so corrupt, given to uh somebody from the military at bowling uh Air Force Base used to visit that uh all the time.
Um but the CIA has been really uh pushing back and taking over.
Uh Avril um Averill the former uh head is increasing CIA control as well.
And so probably CIA and Mossad influences aligned uh while DIA is not, and and remember there was the DIA analyst who said that um the when the one time strike would not take out the uh Iran nuclear capacity.
I uh I agreed with that.
I concurred with that, and that has since been uh proven correct as well.
Just like they didn't take out all of the negotiating team, and they never want to really finish the job.
Uh because of course they need this.
They need the war, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
And uh and let me also remind our audience of uh an additional economic consequence, which is that the leaders of Qatar had promised 1.5 trillion dollars in investment in the United States.
And Trump, of course, you know, celebrated that.
Uh Trump seems to be going all over the world and demanding everybody pay tribute to the U.S. or else you'll be punished with tariffs, etc.
And uh these countries, even Japan uh and SoftBank out of Japan has pledged uh what was it, like half a trillion dollars.
I mean, the these trillions, this is a substantial sum of investment in the United States.
A lot of it's to build data centers, for example.
Well, is Qatar now going to pull out and say, you know, screw you, you didn't even defend our airspace, which was the whole point of having the military base in our country.
If you can't defend our airspace, why are you even here?
Why are we giving you money?
You know, isn't that question coming up in everybody's mind?
The the airspace and the airplane that they just gave him as number one is gonna become uh mimetic weaponization warfare number one, I think, in in coming weeks.
Uh and again, I just think that um Massad is continuing to contort and minimize Trump, and he just um is either somehow extorted or blind uh to it because all he's doing is damaging.
You know, I I talk to people all the time is hey, I was a Trump supporter, you know, no no more.
And why are we why are we doing this for Israel?
I'm seeing you know conversations between young believers who are respectfully arguing with their parents as why are we uh you know cowtowing to Israel?
Israel is not the chosen people anymore.
It's the Vineyard parable makes that very clear.
Uh but they've been taught that by their their American Christian Zionist pastors and they still buy it, the the elders do.
Uh so that that also seems to be the deep state's other uh um plan here is to minimize and marginalize uh Trump.
And they and it is certainly working.
The only thing I can say is, well, RFK is not perfect by any means.
Uh I really gotta say I I liked him up on Capitol Hill, you know, fighting alone, standing alone and telling the truth, because it if nothing else, it really showed the American people that 95 to 98% of them up there uh are traitors and liars and and and they are uh big pharma whores.
Yeah, uh absolutely.
And and since you brought up some of the Christian Zionist brainwashing, I I tweeted out something um, and I I don't mean this in a derogatory way to all boomers, but I said many boomers believe two things that number one that vaccines can do no harm and that Israel can do no wrong.
And both of those are just blatantly false.
But these have been persistent delusions that are believed without question by a very large number of people, including many senators, who frankly big pharma wouldn't even have to give Bernie Sanders tens of millions of dollars.
He he's so pro-vaccine anyway, that's his brainwashing, you know.
But but go ahead, yeah, you're responsible.
This also fulfills the deep state mission of it was Iran.
Remember, let's go back to Butler, which has never been solved and never will be, because the FBI is the cleanup team for the covert operations, and they no longer have a rally point like the Twin Towers going down.
Remember that since it's tomorrow, you know, the Twin Towers went down, they even had it on the patch on the TSA.
They took it off the patch because that was a rallying point for all Americans.
Now there aren't, but they learn from their mistakes.
Uh so there is no rallying point.
It just kind of fades into some obscurity as the FBI sits on everything uh as well.
But this really uh sits with the uh the deep state mission uh of controling uh the country because Trump is was extremely uh popular.
Uh and this is the remember I said three wars cartel war, tariff war, deep state war, uh fighting two, captured in one, uh, and it makes total sense to me anyway, uh, because uh with the butler uh plot, you know, crooks was somehow an Iranian uh agent with encrypted accounts uh all over the place.
Um and and so it takes the heat off of them so that they can continue to do what they've been doing.
Um that I think is the domestic uh deep state uh motive for all this.
I've already elaborated on Israel's uh greater Israel one world messiah uh motive, and those two purposes align very nicely.
There's far too much violence in our world, and it continues to be carried out for political purposes, all kinds of acts of terrorism.
Um I do want to acknowledge that um, although we don't have all the details that uh Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck uh just moments before you and I started recording, Jeffrey.
Uh reportedly now he's in critical condition in the hospital.
I have a photo uh freeze frame from from the video uh that was taken.
Uh it looks like uh looks like a handgun shot, but a front of the neck entry, like almost dead center.
That is not looking good.
I want to just pray for Charlie Kirk to be safe and denounce the violence.
But uh Jeffrey, what how is this indicative of you know the US collapsing in the Venezuela?
We've got people shooting speakers on college campuses now.
Well, certainly prayers.
I'm glad you brought that up, prayers for Charlie Kirk and his family.
Uh, but you know, I don't believe in coincidences and uh timing is everything uh and continuing to build a cascade of crisis uh in here.
You know, what benefits out out of all this is the uh deep state, the federal government then continues uh to grow.
And I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something uh about Hamas associated with this.
I saw a story where uh Trump was uh at dinner in DC and they said Hamas uh group uh uh is uh closing and Secret Service lets them close and doesn't do their job.
And it was Code Pink.
Uh, you know, Code Pink is uh ridiculous and irritating, uh, but it's hardly a Hamas terrorist group.
Right.
But the the implication of the story uh is what you want to see happening.
And so I think this is uh continuing to build uh to bring more religious war uh in America.
I've taken a lot of flack uh from a lot of um listeners uh you know because I've called out uh Israel and I try and you know go over and explain things uh to them.
But I think that's the real purpose is again religious war in America, uh divide Jew, Christian, and Muslim against each other, because the uh racist war really kind of failed, didn't didn't take off like it did in South Africa.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm but I'm glad you're calling it out because you're you're a man of principles, and I share many of those principles with you.
And yeah, I've taken a lot of heat too when I especially when I say things like, you know, hey, if you think Jesus is gonna come out of the sky and lift you up and praise you for supporting the mass bombing of women and children and doctors, then you you need to go back and reread the Bible, start on page one, you know.
I don't I concur with you, brother.
The same thing uh with the uh rapture is they think they're gonna be taken away.
If you read it closely, it's the other way around.
Um I don't even I don't even buy into the rapture narrative as it is uh you know promoted.
As is promoted, is completely wrong.
But Yeshua says it will be as in the days of Noah.
Well, who gets swept away?
Uh but everybody else.
Yeah.
We gotta remain.
The good have to endure uh and the and the bad are taken away, but that's not how, again, you know uh all the uh good news preachers uh and prosperity gospel liars and Christmongers, you know, get your hot Jesus uh sell it.
Yeah, exactly.
So Jeffrey, we've we've covered some interesting topics here, very important topics, uh, but I want to give out your website, Jeffrey Prather.com.
Jeffrey is spelled J-E-F-F-R-E-Y, don't forget the E, Jeffrey Prather.com.

Uh, and then I I uh because I was a whistleblower on Fast and Furious, and because I worked on the Contra uh thing, uh, I expose uh government cover-ups uh quite a bit.
And so I give an insider's perspective because I was really deeply inside all of those organizations and unaware of a lot of the bad stuff uh back in the day.
Uh and I have a lot of guests like that.
I have a lot of heroes, guys I've worked with, uh you know, Ed Morales, the hero of the Miami gunfight is an old friend of mine, he did undercover for me.
We're both firearms instructors.
Um, you know, fascinating interviews.
I've had the uh the green berets horse soldiers on.
You see the bottle back there signed by uh Sergeant Major Vince uh McKella.
Uh fascinating heroes, not you know, killing a lot of people, but overthrowing the Taliban government uh within uh months, and then we were done.
We could have uh left.
And just giving an alternative perspective uh really of what the mainstream news media is telling you because it's all lies.
That's why you got to listen to uh Mike and and me and others uh to get the truth.
Absolutely, 100%.
Well, uh Jeffrey, I also want to mention that every interview I've ever done with you has become part of the training of our AI engine, Enoch, which of course refers to hidden knowledge, so it's a perfect name.
But uh, you've influenced the model, and it's becoming very popular among people who want truth from AI.
So folks may find that.
Yeah, Brighton.ai.
I've seen some of them.
I've seen my uh my cartoon image of me.
I look pretty good.
Well, um our our model doesn't do images, but uh all of your text, everything that you've ever said in our interviews has been trained into the model.
So you can even use it.
You can ask it about something that you and I spoke about and or an analysis.
Uh it's very good.
It's at Brighton.ai.
It's free to use.
So feel free to check that out.

I actually have uh students nationwide where I teach handgun martial arts.
Uh I teach Bujankon martial arts uh as well, and you know, talk about everything from uh horsemanship to swordsmanship uh and do breakdowns um and and uh yeah, in fact, I'm doing a class tonight, uh, a live class tonight.
Um that's what I love about you because you you teach, you you master skills, you teach them, and these are all the skills that I like also.
It's like you know, firearms and swords, martial arts.
Uh, I'm not a horseman.
Uh I I have a ranch buggy instead.
I use a diesel engine.
I wish I were horseman.
I don't have those skills, so I'm a little bit envious of your horsemanship.
Horses, they're so spiritual.
Uh a four-legged side-eyed prey, letting a two-legged front-eyed predator uh on their backs.
Uh something is is a spiritual connection.
So that's natural native horsemanship.
It's very cool stuff.
Wow, 100%.
