Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to The War Room.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, filling in once again for Owen Schroyer.
I'll have to stop saying that eventually.
But his absence is still mightily felt.
He is out of solitary confinement.
We have heard, and it's the latest statement from his own Troyer 1776 Twitter account, that his legal team is helping to run.
The latest says that the worst part is the lack of sleep and the food depredation.
Which is a little weird. It's a little odd.
Why would...
I mean, he was put in solitary for COVID procedures, right?
It's the COVID protocol.
So why would you deny food and, like, keep the lights on all night to somebody in solitary just because they're there for...
Some sort of disease purpose.
It doesn't make any sense.
But of course, our prayers go out to him.
And you can always go to DefendOwen.com.
That's the Owen Schroer Emergency Legal Defense Fund that you can contribute to to help him through this very troubling time.
We have a lot of stuff to talk about today.
We are going to talk about the continuing to...
It's like simmering now, I guess.
I guess it's simmering now, World War III. Hasn't quite boiled over quite yet, but certainly hasn't backed down either.
So we'll talk a little bit about what's going on in the Middle East as huge, huge numbers of military vessels and troops are headed to the Middle East right now.
Tens of thousands of troops from America and Europe traveling through, congealing there in the Middle East.
We'll talk about what this will eventually end up as.
We have some really astonishing statements from Israeli politicians, including Benjamin Netanyahu, invoking Amalek.
Just to really underscore the genocidal nature of this entire conflict, it's really pretty incredible.
We also have some really just...
Bizarre videos.
We can start with this one.
Let's go to clip number eight here.
In case you missed it over the weekend, California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom just absolutely demolished a little Chinese boy on his goodwill mission to Communist China.
Should we start the show with a little bit of cringe?
Let's do it. Here's Gavin Newsom just absolutely wrecking a Chinese child.
Let's watch. Whoops, and he gets a spanking too.
Just in case it wasn't cringey enough.
Boy, that's awkward.
Isn't that awkward? Isn't that weird?
Just... Stop it.
Just stop it, Gavin.
Enough. I've told the story before, but, you know, in ancient Rome, they used to really think a lot about, like, Signs.
Signs from God. You know, if you were going to start off on a big trip, but you stumbled as you were getting onto the ship, you'd just call the whole trip off.
You'd just go, you know what? This is a sign from God.
It isn't going to work out.
We're not doing it. Or you'd make a big sacrifice or something.
Maybe God's trying to tell you something, Gavin Newsom.
Maybe this is a sign from on high showing you what your entire presidential prospects will turn out to be.
Or maybe you're just a psychopathic goofball and you're just going to keep embarrassing yourself.
I'm actually good either way.
I'm good with that either way.
We have a very powerful video by Matt Baker.
Wonderful guest. Later in the show, and we'll be taking your phone calls throughout the second hour, I believe.
Whatever hour we don't have the guest, we'll be taking your phone calls as well.
Get your input on the goings-on in the world.
We have a lot to discuss today, so stay tuned.
This is The War Room. Go to Infowarsstore.com to support everything that we do here.
DefendOwen.com to support our incarcerated brethren.

We'll be right back. The War Room with Harrison Smith is where the shields of truth are forged in the fires of inquiry.
harrison smith
Alright, welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, this is The War Room.
I am your host, Harrison Smith.
The conflict in the Middle East continues to...
Simmer, but is also breaking out in conflicts all over the world.
Massive riot in Dagestan, of all places, as an Israeli jet landed in Dagestan and inspired a gigantic anti-Semitic riot, they're calling it.
I think the most shocking thing to me is that there's a country called Dagestan.
Has Dagestan ever been in the news ever for anything?
And why are people shocked that they would have some sort of anti-Semitic riot?
Putin's made some statements about this.
We'll get to those in just a second.
Let me just give you the update as to where the conflict is now.
U.S. jets bombed civilian trucks on Syrian-Iraqi border.
This story from Infowars.com.
Muslim mob storms airport in Russia's Dagestan.
So it's a state in Russia. We're learning.
U.S. jets bombed civilian trucks on Syrian-Iraqi border.
This is Washington's second airstrike on Syria since the outbreak of the Gaza-Israel war and the surge in resistance attacks against U.S. occupation forces.
U.S. warplanes launched airstrikes near the Syrian-Iraqi border early on the 30th of October today, targeting civilian trucks that made their way through the Al-Bukamal crossing.
At 4.30 a.m. today, American fighters...
With seven missiles containing...
unidentified
Okay.
harrison smith
I'm sorry. I'm just trying to see if they're saying that these contained materials used in the field of electricity, battery, and construction products, and that's why they destroyed them, I guess.
This is the second U.S. attack against Syria since the outbreak of the Gaza-Israeli War on the 7th of October, which has seen Washington heavily consolidate its presence across the region as its bases and troops come under increased attack in Iraq and Syria.
The Pentagon announced on the 27th of October that U.S. warplanes conducted midnight air raids in Syria's Deir-Ezor-Governate, allegedly targeting two storage facilities used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
So we continue to expand our participation in this little conflict, and it doesn't stop there.
We'll get to some disturbing threats made by Israel, relayed by France a little bit later.
Yet another graphic has been manufactured showing the sheer number of warships gathering right now in the Middle East, or in the Mediterranean, I should say.
And yeah, it's massive.
The UNIFIL Maritime Task Force, as well as the I mean, it's just submarines and warships and troop carriers and aircraft carriers, standing NATO Maritime Group 2, Ford Carrier Strike Group, the ARG, Ike Carrier Group, Littoral Response Group, South Bataan ARG. It's tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of sailors all joining just off the coast of Israel.
Lebanon and Syria, mostly gathering off the coast of Cyprus, especially concerning to those of us who are expecting nervously a false flag to get us really involved in this and really kick off World War III, as they love blowing up boats.
I mean, Pearl Harbor attack on a bunch of boats.
Of course, the USS Maine got us into the Spanish-American War.
Way back when they were just learning how effective false flags could be.
The Lusitania, of course, was World War I. The Gulf of Tonkin incident in Vietnam, another false flag.
That's something they didn't even have to sink a boat.
And of course, the USS Liberty, which was an attempt by Israel to false flag America into the conflict back in 1967.
So again, as we see this gathering of armament...
Military equipment soldiers in the Middle East.
So looking like this party is far from over.
Resistance fighters force Israeli tanks to retreat from the outskirts of Gaza City.
And with the interruption of internet connection in Gaza, we're entering into a stage of this conflict where the information is entirely unreliable from both sides.
I really don't know what's going on.
This is a video that a journalist captured of Israeli tanks targeting civilian vehicles in Gaza.
You know, over the weekend, getting lunch with my sister and my dad, and my sister's like, so what's going on in Israel right now?
And I'm like, you know what? I got no idea.
Because you got one side... That'll be an Israeli statement that's like, IDF forces have entered Gaza and carried out a successful mission, achieving all of our strategic objectives before returning to the safety of Israeli land.
And then you go to Telegram or whatever, and you got the Gaza proponents...
Being like, another glorious victory for the Islamic Jihad.
The Zionist dogs have been forced back from where they came from.
They even talk about their own deaths in victorious ways, right?
Another three martyrs sent to Allah.
So it's like, I don't know. I can't tell.
I can't tell. They're both claiming victory.
They're both saying that they're winning.
All we know is that there was some sort of conflict that took place.
There has been at least one hostage regained apparently according to Israel.
I cannot tell you which side I trust less.
It's all up for interpretation, I guess.
So again, this is from the new cradle.co.
Palestinian resistance fighters forced Israeli tanks to retreat from the outskirts of Gaza City on the 30th of October after invading troops tried to take control of a major road connecting northern and southern Gaza.
Quote, there's absolutely no ground advance inside the residential neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip.
What happened in Salah al-Din Road was the incursion of a few occupation army tanks and a bulldozer, says Salama Marouf, the head of Hamas government office in Gaza.
That's what he said in a statement.
However, I do believe this was the deepest incursion yet into Gaza.
As far as I can tell, they have not yet gained a foothold in the region.
They do little. Advances, and then they return back, but nothing permanent as of yet.
We have a pretty interesting video that we'll go to in just a little bit.
I don't think we have time to hit it in this segment.
That's a flashback to 2020.
The story's in Infowars.
2020 flashback. Biden claims Trump will start war with Iran.
Now in 2023, it looks like Joe Biden is about to kick off a full-scale war with Iran over the Israel-Hamas conflict, which again, I mean, this is the military-industrial complex.
The American regime has been starving for a war with Iran for decades.
Dagestan crowd storms Russian airport as flight from Tel Aviv lands and global tensions spiral
over Gaza war.
An angry crowd in Russia's mostly Muslim region of Dagestan stormed an airport where a flight
from Israel arrived on Sunday, forcing authorities to close the facility and divert flights.
Multiple videos posted on social media show a crowd of people inside the airport and on
the runway, some waving the Palestinian flag, others forcing their way through closed doors
in the international terminal.
In videos and photos verified by CNN, the crowd outside the airport held anti-Semitic
signs that included slogans such as, We are against Jewish refugees and there's no place
for child killers in Dagestan.
Because once again, the major outcome of this entire conflict has been to utterly destroy
the reputation of Jewish people around the world.
unidentified
Bye.
harrison smith
It's really not a good thing and it's going to take a very long time to
Reverse this trend if it ever happens now Putin has called for a meeting
After the mob storms the does Dagestan Airport looking for Israelis on jet from Tel Aviv
Vladimir Putin called a meeting of security and law enforcement officials Monday the day after the mob storm
the airport hundreds of angry men carrying banners Stormed more than 20 people were injured two in critical
condition Dagestan's Health Ministry said the injured included police officers and civilians
Putin's made a couple statements, so we'll get to on the other side
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is The War Room, and war is the topic of discussion.
From Washington Post, Israeli tanks open fire in Gaza in deepest incursion yet.
Moving quickly overnight, Israeli tanks and soldiers entered the outskirts of Gaza City on Monday, reaching the main highway that goes north and south through the 25-mile-long enclave.
The forces were so close to the city that those ground troops called in airstrikes on Hamas targets.
A string of incidents Monday shows evidence of the deepest penetration of Gaza by Israeli ground forces since it began incursion three days ago.
As a relentless bombing campaign continues with the military...
Confirming that the combined infantry, armor, and engineering forces are all inside Gaza's borders.
Hamas, a militant group that controls the besieged enclave, has also released a chilling video of three of the hostages delivering a harsh statement addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with one woman almost screaming at the Israeli leader, Free us!
Free us now! Free their civilians!
Free their prisoners! Free us!
Free us all! Let us return to our families now, now, now, now.
Earlier in the day, dramatic video taken by Palestinian journalists showed a white sedan traveling on the highway towards Netzarum Junction, where there were Israeli tanks.
As it was executing a slow U-turn, the car exploded.
This is an Israeli agricultural settlement whose last residents were evicted by Israeli soldiers in 2005 during their pullout of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli tank opened fires on streets with bitter urban warfare ignites close to Gaza City, and we show you the video in the last segment.
Israeli attacks have killed at least 8,000 people in Gaza, and Israeli defense forces have expanded its operations in the Gaza Strip in recent days, adding troops and armored tanks.
Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari declined to comment on the incident
on the highway on Monday, but told a news conference that Israeli has, quote, expanded
the activity of our forces and additional forces entering the strip, including infantry,
armored corps, combat engineering and artillery corps.
There's also direct contact between our forces on the ground and terrorists as the fighting
continues inside the Gaza Strip, Hagari said.
And it's not just the hostages that we just mentioned who are blaming a lot of this on
Benjamin Netanyahu.
unidentified
Thank you.
harrison smith
Netanyahu's Mr.
Security persona fades as rivals want him out.
This published today. The 2015 campaign to get Bibi elected concluded with Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the camera saying, this election you decide who can best take care of our children.
Eight years on the spot.
That helped propel Netanyahu to another term in office.
It's being revived on social media, interspersed with chilling footage of the killing of Israeli children by Hamas operatives on October 7th.
It's become part of an intensifying campaign to hold him accountable and force him from office, an effort that now includes not only political opposition but many former associates and some former heads of Israeli security agency and military intelligence.
And in fact, it looks like almost all of this was orchestrated.
As a well-designed false flag tactic, WikiLeaks on Twitter put out this statement.
A week after the Hamas attacks, Israel's Ministry of Intelligence issued a secret 10-page document outlining the expulsion of the Palestinian population of Gaza to northern Sinai in Egypt, which is, I remind you, a giant desert.
It says, one, instruct Palestinian civilians to vacate North Gaza ahead of land operations.
Check. Sequential land operations from north to south Gaza.
In progress. Step three, routes across Rafa to be left clear.
That's the Egyptian crossing into and out of Palestine.
Four, establish tent cities in northern Sinai and construct cities to resettle Palestinians in Egypt.
This document has been verified by an official from the Ministry of Intelligence, according to the Hebrew website Mechomit, which originally published the document.
Mechomit noted that the documents from the Ministry of Intelligence are advisory and not binding on the executive.
But it does appear as though this is all part of the plan.
I mean, it is a true ethnic cleansing.
And their ultimate goal is to...
Not ultimate goal, right?
Because they can't survive in the desert.
That's just not possible.
It's not going to happen. But that'll be a holding station until they can be exported to Europe or America, obviously.
RT also has the story, Israel compiled ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza.
A leaked policy document compiled by Israel's Ministry of Intelligence calls for the depopulation of Gaza and the forced displacement of its residents to Egypt, Egyptian territory, according to a copy published by Sika Mekomit news site on Saturday.
This was dated October 13th, so 10 days ago.
I said 10 days after the attack, but that would be only 6 days after the attack.
And of course, also from RT, but we've covered the story extensively as it came out very rapidly after the initial attacks on October 7th.
Netanyahu ignored warnings from security services.
According to the New York Times, Israel Security Services warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for months that his domestic policies were fueling dangerous political turmoil.
The New York Times reported on Sunday, officials reportedly stressed that internal discord was weakening the country's security and strengthening Israel's enemies.
The report was part of an examination of what led up to the latest hostilities between Israel and Gaza.
At one point in July, the Prime Minister even allegedly refused to meet with a senior general who was trying to deliver a threat warning based on classified intelligence.
It's like when your lawyer is like, did you do it?
Don't tell me. Don't tell me if you did it or not.
You can't tell me because then I have to know.
But I don't want to know.
He gets an alert that's like, we have classified information about an upcoming, and he's like, I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear it. I need to be able to say that I didn't hear it.
So now we've got Egyptian intelligence said they warned Israel and were ignored.
American intelligence said they warned Israel and were ignored.
And now Israeli intelligence apparently warned the prime minister and were ignored.
At the same time, the New York Times assessed that Israeli security representatives themselves continuously misjudged the threat posed by Hamas, including in the weeks leading up to the October 7th attack on Israeli territory, which resulted in the death of up to 1,400 people.
Although that number also in question now.
Again, Israel is making incursions into Gaza.
This was the red line that Hezbollah set down, and yet we have not seen an increased amount of action from them.
However, there has been a video release from Hassan Nasrallah, which is very ominous.
It's literally just him walking past a sign.
It's like five seconds long.
But they put that out.
And you've got to understand, Hassan Asrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, he basically lives under a mountain.
Like, nobody ever sees him.
He occasionally makes video proclamations that get shared around.
Not very often. Every couple months or so, maybe a new one will come out.
And, like, I think the last time he had a public appearance was probably a couple years ago.
Not sure exactly when, but he's not like a public figure.
He's like a... He's like a supervillain of some sort.
But he lives under a mountain.
But he has put out a thing saying he's going to make a statement on Friday, which we can expect to proceed or go hand-in-hand with some sort of increased activity from the Lebanese militia group.
This is spiraling out away from Israel and Gaza and the Middle East as a whole.
Turkey, France, Russia, and of course America all getting deeply involved in this conflict.
And we'll show you what's going on on the other side as this is the prelude to World War III. Nothing has happened to diminish that prospect.
It's only getting closer.
And this may be the calm before the storm.
Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We have a lot to talk about today.
It's not all Israel and World War III, but, you know...
This is the biggest thing that's happening right now.
So we will continue to cover it throughout this hour.
We'll be joined by Jonathan Shaw in the third hour.
May just have to save phone calls for him.
Maybe we'll take phone calls with Jonathan Shaw.
After all, he's seen it all, folks.
He has a new movie that is extremely interesting about his life and path as a pop culture icon in a lot of ways.
But... We're going to try to finish up as quickly as possible here with what's going on in the Middle East.
There's two things.
There's a couple things I think you need to understand.
First, that this is not start on October 7th.
This is just the continuation and the latest escalation of a conflict that has been going on for decades.
decades. I think everybody sort of gets that, but a lot of the conversation and rhetoric
going around now is acting as if everything was peachy keen, everything was hunky dory
before October 7th. And it was that attack that started everything. Well, that attack
was a response to abuse of the Palestinians by Israel for a very long time. Doesn't mean
it was justified or good. It means it wasn't the first thing that happened.
And that if you want to prevent such outbreaks of violence going on in the future, you have to actually ask questions about what led up to it, not just treat the people in Gaza as if they're animals that you can't reason with and that don't have the same concerns that every human being has.
That's the first thing you need to understand.
The second thing you need to understand is that the attack on October 7th was preventable, if not actively orchestrated by the Israeli government.
And more and more people are recognizing that.
Again, story from, I believe this is from Bloomberg, Netanyahu's Mr.
Security persona fades as rivals want him out, as the Israeli people blame Benjamin Netanyahu for the attack that occurred.
The other thing you need to understand is that the reason why they might have wanted this to take place is because they've wanted for a very long time to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians.
They want the land. They want to develop it.
They want to make resorts.
and there's all these very inconvenient people in the way that have to be either killed or
relocated.
I don't think I'm being unfair there in the, you know, way that I set up that dynamic.
It is crazy, right?
It is totally crazy. But we showed you the document last segment.
There's more to this than we even got into.
Israel compiled ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza.
Under the plan, Gaza's 2.3 million residents would be told that there is, quote, no longer any hope of returning to the territories that Israel will occupy in the near future.
And that, quote, Allah made sure that you lost this land because of the leadership of Hamas.
Wouldn't it be nice if we just treated Israel like any other country?
Any other country at all?
After all, when Russia went into Ukraine and we were all told that, you know, this is the most evil thing ever and we have to do whatever it takes to prevent this from happening.
You know, they weren't just saying like, look, this is ours now and we're just going to take it.
And even though you live here, we want the land.
We're going to ethnically cleanse you from that.
Sort of the opposite. It was like, no, these are Russian people.
We want to bring them into Russia and politically take over this area that has Russian people in it.
So I don't understand how Israel gets away with just blatantly having a plan of ethnic cleansing.
Well known now.
And you really have to wonder, when you have all of these countries either abstaining from votes about ceasefires, We have all these American politicians doubling down, as we saw over the weekend, with Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump and even Vivek Ramaswamy reasserting the right of Israel to do whatever the hell it wants, whenever the hell it wants, to whoever the hell it wants.
And you can't even criticize them.
You have to wonder, how many of this is legitimate politics?
Like, unbiased agreement with what Israel's doing?
And how much of it is because of blackmail?
How much of it is because of bribery?
How much of it is because the people in power feel like they have sort of Damocles hanging over their head?
I mean, it's a valid question, right?
How many people who are refusing to condemn this blatant campaign of ethnic discrimination Genocide or ethnic replacement?
How many of them are going, you know, I would.
I would stand up for that.
It is wrong what's happening, but I did visit that island that one time with that Israeli Mossad agent, Jeffrey Epstein, and so maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut on this one.
I think it's a valid question, not just for American politicians, but politicians around the world.
So again, there has been this document.
There were warnings about a document showing the plan for ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
It was supposedly at least made public or made official after the attack on Israel on October 7th.
But prior to that... You had Egypt, America, and Israel attempting to warn the Israeli regime, like the Israeli intelligence, had information that an attack was coming, and he wouldn't even take the meeting, Benjamin Netanyahu.
But it appears as though America is not just helping Israel defend itself, but is actually
helping to carry out this displacement plan.
The proof of a pre-planned Palestine displacement into Egypt has been buried in plain sight
for five days.
Page 40 of Biden's $106 billion funding request says this, quote, those resources would support
displaced and conflict-affected citizens, including Palestinian refugees in Gaza and
the West Bank, and to address potential needs of Gazans fleeing to neighboring countries.
So America and your tax dollars are actually going to provide the support for the people
that Israel is planning to drive into the desert where there are no resources and where
they'll die without help.
Page 40 of 40 Why we have to carry this burden is anybody's guess.
Here's the actual statement from the funding bill that's been out for several days now.
Funding would also provide life-saving humanitarian assistance in Israel and in areas impacted
by the situation in Israel.
These resources would support displaced and conflict-affected citizens, including Palestinian
refugees in Gaza and the West Bank, and to address potential needs of Gazans fleeing
to neighboring countries.
This would include food and non-food items, health care, emergency shelter support, water
and sanitary assistance, and emergency protection.
So we'll be building the tent cities.
That are mentioned in that Israeli memo.
So they'll drive them into the desert.
We'll build the tent cities and take care of them until such a point that we can, I guess, fly them to America or to Europe.
Well, there will be a continuing burden on our entire system.
But I guess that's the benefit of being Israel is that you have a country like America to Not just continually support you in your campaign of ethnic displacement, but to actually pick up the bill and pay for the necessities once that displacement takes place.
The benefit to America is...
Well, it's not just nothing, right?
Having no benefit would be that, like, it doesn't affect us.
But no, we will actually be negatively impacted by this in various different ways.
I mean, our soldiers will die when the attacks, you know, come in full force against our military bases and Navy flotillas in the Mediterranean.
We will pay for the housing of people who we will then bring over, who, for very good reason, will blame us.
For them not having a home anymore, right?
So we're facilitating Israel displacing people who, I mean, literally, unless they actually want to just drive them into the desert and kill them outright, which it seems like that actually might be the plan.
I'll show you that video on the other side of Benjamin Netanyahu actually calling for full-fledged genocide against everybody in Gaza.
Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll talk about how the conflict in the Middle East is being treated in the rest of the world now.
Before we do that, we'll do a couple things here.
First, I want to tell you I'll be joined by Jonathan Shaw in studio.
He has a new movie out called Scab Vendor.
Confessions of a Tattoo Artist.
Very interesting. I watched most of it.
I didn't get to finish it today, but...
I watched most of it, and it's extremely fascinating.
So please stay tuned for our conversation in the third hour.
I'll try to open up phone lines in the second hour, but we still have a lot to cover.
We'll see if we can get to phone calls.
Maybe we'll open up phone calls with Jonathan Shaw.
I also wanted to remind you to go to Infowarsstore.com.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invokes Amalek theory to justify Gaza killings.
What is this Hebrew Bible nation?
Let's take a look here.
Do we have that video?
Yes. Clip number three is Benjamin Netanyahu.
Invoking the Old Testament to justify their invasion of Gaza.

Let's watch. You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible.
And we do remember and we are fighting our brave troops and combatants who are now in Gaza or around Gaza and in all other regions in Israel are joining this chain of Jewish heroes, a chain that has...
It started 3,000 years ago from Joshua Ben-Nun until the heroes of 1948, the Six-Day War, the 73 October War, and all other wars in this country.
Our hero troops, they have one supreme main goal, to completely defeat the murderous enemy and to guarantee our existence in this country.
We've always said, never again.
Never again.
Is now. Never again is now.

You know, I don't know if it's admirable or disturbing the way that modern Jews really do feel like a hardcore connection to conflicts that happened thousands of years ago.
Because in one sense, it's like they don't hold a grudge.
I'll tell you that. I mean, I think it was, it wasn't Ben Shapiro, but it was some Jewish, you know, influencer out there.
It's like posting an image of him flicking off the Ark of Titus.
Like, hating the Romans for something that happened literally 2,000 years ago.
And it's like an Italian now And hating the Phoenicians because Hannibal went through the Alps.
It's like, you're not over that yet?
I mean, that was a while ago.
And again, in a way, it's kind of like impressive.
Take this for an example.
The airport in Israel, the main big airport, is Ben-Gurion, right?
Ben-Gurion is the name of it.
Ben-Gurion was the name of the first, I think, prime minister of Israel, if I'm not mistaken.
Only that wasn't really his name.
That was a pen name that he adopted.
Joseph Ben-Gurion was a leader of a Jewish sect 2,000 years ago who was killed in the Jewish revolt in like 70 AD. So I'd be like, that's not just me changing my name to Davy Crockett in Remembrance of the Alamo.
But doing that 2,000 years from now.
So in one sense, it's like, how are you holding on to this grudge from 2,000 years ago?
ago. That's crazy. In other sense, it's like they got a continuity of history that is in
a lot of ways astonishing.
Remember what Amalek has done to you.
Thank you.
So he references Amalek.
Now, the actual quote from the Bible, sort of disconcerting.
1 Samuel 15.3 says, Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
So that's not, I mean, that's not just genocide.
That's eradication.
That's a crazy thing to invoke in the modern age when you're talking about a militarily sophisticated first world nation taking action against an open air prison where they keep 2.3 million people in utter destitution.
That just seems crazy to me.
And I don't, you know, you get that people you're fighting now are not Amalek?
Like there's a...
There's a very sincere danger in referencing the Old Testament God's instructions to his followers 2,000, 3,000 years ago to justify your actions you're taking right now.
These are completely different things.
These are completely... I mean...
I don't even know how to put it in words.
It's like, you've got a story from 2000 years ago of God being like, destroy these people entirely.
And 2000 years later, you have Israel being like, oh, you mean these people right now?
And it's like, no, obviously not.
How could he? Does that just mean any sort of murderous campaign of genocide you can justify by claiming that the people you're genociding just happen to be the people from the Old Testament at that moment?
That's not how this works, okay?
That's insane. You have to stop now.
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's take a little trip back now.
Infowars has the article, 2020 flashback, Biden claims Trump will start a war with Iran.
We'll go to that video now.
So this was three years ago, back in 2020.
After four years of uninterrupted peacemaking by Donald Trump, first president in decades, not to start a new war and actually help to close down the ongoing military engagements that aren't technically wars that we're involved in overseas.
And yet, people still retained this idea that he was somehow a danger to world peace.
How's that looking now, folks?
How stupid do you feel?
Let's go to clip number one here.
This is from 2020.
Here's Biden talking about the danger of Trump in charge.
joe biden
Let's watch. The world has changed because of what Trump has done.
And the American people, including independents and some Republicans, know how bad he is, know how much he's misrepresented, know how he's getting close to getting us in a war.
I said, as the walls close in in this man, I'm worried he's gonna get us to war in Iran.
Unfortunately, I may have been right.
The fact of the matter is, there's a lot at stake in this election.
harrison smith
Very strong, very strident, very incredibly wrong.
Now, what he was actually insinuating there is that Trump was such a madman, such an egotistical, mega-maniacal psychopath that he would start a war with Iran just because the walls were closing in on him.
Those walls still haven't closed in.
I mean, the number of, like, the amount of deception that's going on in just that statement alone, right?
It's like the walls are closing in on Trump because he's a Russian agent, and as the walls close in, then he'll start a war because he's so egotistical.
He'd rather go to war than, you know, allow the truth to come.
I mean, it's just all utter, complete nonsense, but it does point to the mindset of these people.
Because that is essentially what's happening.
The walls are closing in on the globalists.
Their grip is slipping every day.
Every day more people break out of their control paradigm.
Every day more people awaken to the madness that's been inflicted on us by the globalists over the last couple years.
We'll show you videos later in the show of people who were responsible for the COVID education restrictions.
Sort of apologize.
I don't want to give them the credit that they actually apologized for their ridiculous mistake.
But they're at least recognizing that they were wrong.
So everything the globalists do is a gamble.
Everything has to either succeed totally or it totally backfires in their face.
They like to set it up to where it's a win-win situation for them.
But they can't do that, and as they've gotten increasingly desperate, when Donald Trump got elected and they really went mask off and started just hardcore manipulation across the entire globe, right out in front of everybody's faces, people started waking up to it.
So they don't any longer have the control that they used to have, where they can create a situation and then control both sides or have a win-win situation where Either we fall for it and we get trapped or we don't fall for it and we get hurt.
Something along those lines.
They don't really have that anymore.
So the situation they're in now is they have to succeed in their attempts or else they fail completely and they pay the price for it.
So when he says, like, oh, the walls are closing in on Trump and he might start a war with Iran, it's a projection of exactly what they're doing.
They are actually starting a war with Iran and Russia and China simultaneously because the walls are closing in on the globalists because their financial Ponzi scheme scam is running out of time because people around the world are waking up and realizing how they're being manipulated and And so they're making this bet.
They're all in on this.
And they're going, we'll start World War III. We'll draft Americans.
We'll launch these attacks.
unidentified
But they know if they fail, they're going to pay the price.
harrison smith
All right, welcome back folks. We showed you the video a little bit earlier of Bibi Netanyahu referencing Amalek, referencing this ancient defunct tribe who attacked the Jews fleeing Egypt.
And talk about how the Bible says you don't just kill them, kill their wives and their children and their animals too.
Which is a horrifying concept to be guiding modern geopolitical activity, but it is, apparently.
And Netanyahu's not the only one saying this type of stuff.
We'll go now to clip number two. This is Israel's national security minister talking about how much the Palestinians are worth, really, at the end of the day.
Let's watch. He says, the right of me, my wife, and my kids to travel around the West Bank is more important than that of the Arabs.
Sorry, Mohammed. He's talking to a guy named Mohammed, but that's a reality.
It's okay. It's just blatant supremacist rhetoric, I guess.
Again, the West Bank...
Nothing to do with Hamas.
Hamas doesn't control it. They are in an open-air concentration camp-like system where individual towns are separated by giant walls with a no-man's zone in between where they can be murdered with impunity by the Israeli government.
Horrifying, dystopian, tragic, but there it is.
And yeah, the national security minister is just like, I'm more important than you.
And it's as simple as that.
My people are more important than your people.
Sorry. And so it's just like, okay, all right, great.
Totally mask off.
And this is the supremacist ideology that we're dealing with.
Clip number nine is another Israeli politician.
This is Moshi Feiglin talking about what needs to be done with Gaza.
Let's watch this. I'll read along.
He says, do not leave a stone upon stone in Gaza.
Gaza needs to turn into Dresden.
Yes, complete incineration.
No more hope. We are still in the Oslo agreement and still knocking on the roof.
The night the Air Force still knocks on the roof, this night the Air Force still knocks on the roof, before it bombed a lame tower in a hospital, around Al-Shifa Hospital, instead of flattening all of Gaza.
So all of you 64 mandate voters, Benjamin Netanyahu, now need to protest in front of your home.
Annihilate Gaza now.
Now! Annihilate Gaza now.
Total incineration.
No stone upon stone.
He's like, we're so nice, we still...
Give you a bit of a warning before we bomb your hospital.
Why do we have this much mercy?
It's insane. It's completely insane.
It's utterly disturbing how blatant this all is.
I mean, again, it's not, you know, you hear people all the time like, well, you know, Israel is the only country in the world that warns people before they get bombed.
First of all, not true. Second of all, you're still bombing them, okay?
Well, they're being used as human shields.
Okay, so you're bombing the human shields.
Great. Not an excuse.
Totally bizarre. And that's just disturbing enough as it is.
But they also, you know, often say, like...
They try, you know, they put so much time and effort into only targeting military strikes.
And civilians get killed by accident, and that's tragic, but, you know, this is war, and that's just necessary.
But then you hear the actual politicians, even the prime minister, and they're like, no, we are incinerating everything, and we're sick of being so patient about it.
Horrifying. So the number of Palestinian deaths in the Strip has risen to 8,005, and those injured to 20,242 since October 7th.
So it's mass murder on an epic scale, and it's only going to get worse, apparently, as nobody's doing anything to stop it.
In fact, with the support of America, things are only increasing.
U.S. jets bombed civilian trucks on Syrian-Iraqi border.
Is America getting involved?
The defense chief of Germany is saying Germans must be ready for war.
He cited the Russia-Ukraine conflict as well as the Middle East escalation as among the threats to the continent.
New war in Europe is no longer unthinkable and German society must adapt to this reality.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said as he called for increased military spending.
He's out of the Ukrainian conflict as well as hostilities between Israel and Hamas as proof that fighting could also erupt elsewhere.
So it's not just America that's sending tens of thousands of our soldiers and Navy men to the Middle East, but we're getting our NATO allies in the mix as well.
Jackson Hinkle published this infographic.
Around 50 U.S. military transport planes have flown into the Middle East within 24 hours.
Which we have activated and have stated that in one case it was 2,000, in another case it was 900.
So probably around 3,000 extra forces being sent to the Middle East to join the tens of thousands we already have in bases there.
That sounds about right, about 50 transport planes.
What is this? Young guy destroying posters of kidnapped Israelis near Harvard University.
They should all be exterminated, every single one of them, and their kids, their mothers, their children, just like Hitler did.
Well, great. I saw, there was a post this weekend of a Pakistani senator saying, It was a picture of Hitler, and it was like, now we all know why Hitler did what he did.
Thank you, Senator. It's just crazy.
Just crazy. You see a post like that, you expect to see like some cartoon frog icon or something, but nope, they're next to the name, Senator something something with a verified icon.
Okay, completely insane.
Could this also be part of the plan, right?
Obviously, your average Jewish person is not responsible for what the Israeli government is doing.
In fact, over this weekend, we had massive protests against Israel, shutting down the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as Jews in Israel protesting against their own government and demanding Bibi Netanyahu's resignation.
But the rhetoric that's coming out, you're seeing from the videos that we're playing and from I mean, the likes of Ben Shapiro and others is really murderous.
And so it's inspiring massive backlash around the entire world.
And just like always, the elite will remain untouched by this.
But your regular average Jewish person will find themselves feeling increasingly unsafe in the countries that are Helping to bring this about.
And it is a very, very massive global trend going on.
Take a look at clip number 10 here.
This is a solidarity with Palestine rally in Turkey over the weekend.
Maybe the largest group of people I've ever seen gathered in one place.
I mean, it is...
I don't even know how to I don't know how to guess.
I mean, this is like a Metallica concert in Russia, right?
I mean, this is like a million people gathered in Turkey in support of Palestine and encouraging their government to get involved in the conflict.
Now, Turkey is actually butting heads with Israel.
Turkey rejects slander, unfounded allegations by Israeli officials against Turkish President Erdogan.
I actually think he makes a Lucid point here where he says the targeting of UN, UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez and our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by these authorities who have committed a crime against humanity in front of the whole world but cannot even tolerate criticism and condemnation is a clear indication of the weakness they have fallen into.
He says, we are returning to the accusation of anti-Semitism slander and insults Erdogan and Turkey itself to the interlocutors in the same way.
Unlike many countries that support Israel unconditionally, today it is known to everybody that Turkey's record on the issue is spotless and immaculate.
The truth is that all historians have delivered that Turkey has been a safe haven for everyone who has been persecuted throughout history, including Jews.
And it's not an incorrect point that they're literally carrying out a genocide but can't handle criticism, can't handle condemnation.
Well, there's going to be a lot more.

harrison smith
Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah, a lot of this war is taking place.
Diplomatically at places like the UN. And look, if you're a regular viewer, you know I'm no fan of old Recep Erdogan.
Who has done so much to undo some of the I guess you could call them progressive policies of the Turkish government when it was set up after the First World War and designed in a way specifically to keep radical extremist Islam out of control of the country.
Yet he's allowed a lot of that back in.
Not a big fan of his, but he is right with his statements about Israel.
He says the efforts of some Israeli officials who cannot tolerate even the expression of the truth and facts to change the agenda accompanied by distortion and slanders in the hope of covering up the brutal massacre targeting Palestinian civilians in Gaza will not yield results.
Again, he says they're committing a crime against humanity in front of the whole world but cannot even tolerate criticism and condemnation.
And He ain't just blowing smoke either.
Some really incredible examples of this, such as this one.
Paul Bristow, ministerial aide sacked after call for Israel-Gaza ceasefire.
A ministerial aide has been sacked from his government role, this is in the UK, after calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Downing Street said Paul Bristow made comments that, quote, were not consistent with the principles of collective responsibility.
Not sure what that means.
In a letter to the Prime Minister last week, Mr.
Bristow said a, quote, permanent ceasefire would save lives and allow aid to reach those who needed it most.
And he's been fired now.
The government supports humanitarian pauses, but not a full ceasefire.
So Mr. Bristow, who is the conservative MP for Petersburg, was a parliamentary private secretary, the lowest rung of the ministerial ladder, to Michelle Donilon, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Technology.
He was sacked by Rishi Sunak, the prime minister.
A Downing Street spokesman said Paul Bristow has been asked to leave his post in government following comments that were not consistent with the principles of collective responsibility.
Collective responsibility is the convention that all members of the government must publicly support government policy even if they personally disagree with it.
Still seems very, very strange to me that calling for peace and advocating a ceasefire gets you sacked from the UK government.
Simply suggesting that maybe people should stop killing each other makes you ineligible for employment in the government of the UK. Okay.
Wonderful. Now, I guess they support humanitarian pauses, which...
Okay, what's the – I don't even get the point of a – I mean I get the point of humanitarian pause, right?
It's to get in humanitarian stuff.
But like if you're just going to pick up again with the genocide right after, I'm not sure.
It's just like prolonging the misery.
It's just – this is all so brutal.
This article says, compared to a formal ceasefire, humanitarian pauses tend to last for short periods of time, sometimes just a few hours.
They're implemented purely with the aim of providing humanitarian support as opposed to achieving long-term political solutions.
They're literally just like, you want a long-term political solution?
You're fired, sir.
Get security. Get this man out of this office.
He wants peace.
He wants a ceasefire.
How dare he? He says thousands have been killed and more than one million now displaced.
It's difficult to understand how this makes Israel more secure or indeed makes anything better.
He added that some of his constituents had been directly affected by the conflict.
Posting the letter on Facebook, he wrote that ordinary Palestinians should not suffer collective punishment for the crimes of Hamas.
Collective punishment, by the way, is prohibited under international law.
Which I'll remind you now means absolutely nothing because they just do it anyway.
So I guess for the UK government, saying that Israel should actually be subject to international law is a fireable offense, and now you know.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday accused the US of being responsible for what he called deadly chaos unfolding in the Middle East.
Saying, quote, who is organizing the deadly chaos and who benefits from it today, in my opinion, has already become obvious.
It is the current ruling elites of the U.S. and their satellites who are the main beneficiaries of world instability, Putin said in televised comments.
And then finally we have this story.
France relays Israeli threats to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel has told the Lebanese Hezbollah party that it is, quote, not interested in the war but ready to wage if it is imposed on it.
It also made unprecedented threats, explaining that the war will be waged according to Hezbollah's agenda.
We will witness several strategic shocks.
Israel informed the party through France that if the party joined the ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza, it would, quote, resort to American power to suppress Hezbollah, as well as confront and overthrow the Syrian regime, including President Bashir al-Assad's personal security.
So you know...
It's just another example of one of these times where you have to ask, who's the superpower in this situation?
So Israel sends a message to Hezbollah saying, we will use American power to destroy you if you get involved.
Apparently America doesn't have a say in this.
Apparently we are just a satellite of a country the size of New Jersey, 5,000 miles away.
As an American, I'm sort of sick of this.
I'm sort of sick of the way that American lives and money and blood and prestige and our reputation has been spilled for decades, not for our own benefit and not on our own design and not because it's the will of the American people, but because we get manipulated, coerced, and blackmailed
into it by Israel.
Who is happy to receive all the benefits of being our supposed ally.
But I can't point to a benefit we accrue from our unending support from this.
I'm trying to think.
I really can't figure it out.
I mean, one suggestion might be that the only industry we even have anymore is military production.
Is that a good reason to kill half a million people?
US among 14 countries to reject UN resolution on Israel Hamas truce.
So hundreds of other countries are like, can we bring an end to this?
America says no.
And Israel is sending threats to Hezbollah, essentially talking about America like we're their slave.
We will use America against you if you get involved.
As if America doesn't have a say in this, as if we just have to do whatever they say.
Who's the superpower again?
Who's the one in charge of this situation?
Alright folks, I think we've done it.
I think we've covered all we need to about the current state of madness that's driving us towards World War III. And boy do we have a lot of other stories to get to.
My goodness. From InfoWars.com.
Over 10 million illegals have crossed U.S. border under Biden.
So last week it was 8 million.
This week it's 10 million.
The reality is we don't actually have any clue how many millions upon millions of people have crossed over.
At the 8 million mark, remember we covered it, it was make like the 13th largest state in the union.
Senator Kennedy Framed it as four Nebraskas.
Now there's two million more than what he thought was the worst case scenario.
10 million people since Joe Biden took the reins in January 2021, according to Center
Square, a U.S. conservative website.
I think that I think the sum up of that, I think the wrap up of of this is is we're rapidly
running out of time.
We are rapidly running out of time to deal with the situation that we are being put in.
It's not impossible.
This isn't an impossible task that we have before us.
But we really need to stop taking this so lightly.
We really need to stop pretending like this is just a difference of opinion or that this will somehow be solved by just expediting the process.
Hey, if you label them legal instead of illegal, then there's no illegal immigration.
No, we're being invaded 10 million people In two and a half years.
10 million people crossing our southern border being allowed in, being trafficked in by the
unidentified
US government.
harrison smith
I mean, what even is there to say about that?
Like, it's just happening.
They're just doing it.
They're just doing it, folks.
And it, I mean, it all comes, it all comes down to the information.
It all comes down to an information war, the spiritual war that's taking place, the fact that Americans in particular, but really white people everywhere, have been inundated with an orchestrated campaign of lies to bring about our suicide.
And it's horrifying.
You just have to think about being like a 10 year old kid today.
And that for your entire life, the media that you watch is reinforcing the message that you're evil.
Your ancestors were evil.
And you basically deserve death.
The shows that you watch, your elementary school curriculum, social media constantly pushing this.
And Christians in particular have somehow been convinced that it's loving to allow yourself to be taken advantage of.
unidentified
.
harrison smith
So people are so uncomfortable now with just basic survival instincts.
And we're literally just going to allow ourselves to be conquered and destroyed.
This goes for all Americans of every race, color, and creed.
But so much of it is predicated on the racial aspect in framing America as a white country and therefore an evil country.
So to fix the evilness, we have to get rid of the white people and import non-white people.
Obviously, that's the tactic, but you see everywhere the way that black people find themselves as the primary recipients of the negative impact of illegal immigration and crime and endless warfare and poisoning of the food and water and the COVID scandemic and everything else that they inflict on us that we just allow them to get away with.
As of now, they're getting away with all of it.
They're just doing it.
It's only going to get worse as they start to implement AI that is specifically designed with white genocide in mind.
From RT, Biden bans AI racism.
The U.S. president has issued an edict on safeguards for artificial intelligence, including standards for, quote, equity and civil rights.
U.S. President Joe Biden has decreed that safeguards be put in place to prevent AI technology from perpetuating racial discrimination in housing, the criminal justice system, and other aspects of American life.
Now here's the thing.
AI cannot be biased.
It is a machine. It is a robot.
It doesn't even understand the answers it's giving.
It just is doing calculations.
So what happens, and I've explained this a lot, but you have to understand how dangerous this is, as it is already being implemented by law in the United States, is if they have an AI program that is just running equations on an individual basis, just you put in a person's information, it runs some sort of Algorithmic interpretation of it, and it tells you whether or not you should give them a loan, whatever it is.
Now, they don't put in the race of the person.
The AI doesn't weigh their answer based on the race of the person.
But what you'll find is if you do this, you might have black people get loans less than white people.
And so they'll take that result.
They'll claim that that's evidence of bias.
So now what they're doing is they are programming in biases.
They are programming in racial awareness to AI to disadvantage white people.
That's what they're doing.
Now, a way this happened outside of AI that we talked about before is I think it was the New York Philharmonic, but it was some orchestra or the New York Symphony.
I think it was the New York Symphony. They assumed that because more white and Asian people got first chair and clarinet or violin or whatever, that that must have been the consequence of racial bias by the organizers of the symphony.
So what they did was they said, we'll do blind auditions.
So the people will audition behind a curtain.
You can't even tell what the race of the person is.
So then we'll get an unbiased, like the AI version of music interpretation.
Just take that out of it.
It's no longer even a component of the tryouts.
Because you can't even see the race of the person.
What happened? Less people of color were in the orchestra after this little experiment.
So what was their solution to that?
It was to bring back in racial bias...
In the hiring of musicians, only it was affirmative action racial bias.
It was racial bias against white and Asian people in favor of black and Hispanic people.
So that's what's happening here with AI, right?
There is no bias, just like the blind auditions.
It could not have been bias that made more white people get hired.
They took that out of it. But because that happened to be the outcome when you removed bias, now they're having to insert bias into that to overcome what they perceive as a problem, when in reality it's just meritocracy, working as it's actually supposed to, to get the best candidates for specific positions.
So as AI gets more and more implemented into government and corporate activities, they are actively and preemptively making laws to make sure that programmed within the AI, within the unquestionable machine algorithms, are biases against white people to fight so-called racism.
That's how absurd this is. Alright, welcome back.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be joined in the next hour by Jonathan Shaw.

I want to remind you to go to Infowarsstore.com to support what we're doing here.
We're just trying to bring you the truth, which is just actively researching and strategizing and trying to contend with the madness that we're continually confronted with on a daily basis in an honest and forthright way.
I've had people, and I guess just thank you to everybody who supports us.
Just thank you to everybody who goes to InfoWarsStore.com.
Thank you to everyone that goes to DefendOwen.com.
Thank you for supporting us.
Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your just kind words and well wishes.
We went to a family event in Houston over the weekend.
And let's just say a lot of people are on our side.
A lot of people are on our side these days, and it's very, very nice to see.
I've had an old friend of mine who's just like, you know, you guys just...
Actually try to figure out what's going on.
And like, I really hope if there's one thing that comes across clear, we only have one, like we are biased in that our one viewpoint is opposing the globalist scheme for a one world government, supporting humanity in our opposition to this neo-feudal worldwide slavery prison planet crap they're trying to push on us.
Like outside of that, There's no bias.
There's no political water we're carrying or undue influence that we have to deal with from our advertisers or political considerations.
I mean, that's one of the kind of nice things about being so continuously degraded in the mainstream is that it's not like we have any top-level influence anyway.
The influence we have is when you spread The message.
It's when you share the videos.
It's when you talk to your friends about what's going on.
When you share links or memes.
Cut the videos yourself.
Upload them to your own platform.
That's the influence that we have.
And it's not us. It's you.
But, you know, I can imagine if we were getting interviews with the top senators and congressmen, we might be a little bit concerned about saying something that would offend them and You know, restrict our access to them.
We don't have access to them, so we can just say whatever the hell we want.
And if you think that's a valuable media outlet to exist these days, go to Infowarsstore.com, because without you, we will not exist.
These people in power really don't think we should.
Really don't like the way we use the First Amendment to oppose their madness.

Now, in this final segment, before we welcome my guest, we got some weird stories, folks.
We got some truly bizarre goings-on around the world.
First, we go to clip number 13.
Because Vienna, Vienna, Austria, celebrating 150 years of their city's spring water supply.
They did it by...
Building a fountain. Celebratory, decorative fountain to celebrate 150 years of spring water.
And here it is. Here's the officials turning it on.
And there's the fountain, folks.
There it is. Oh, it's crap, folks.
For our radio listeners, how do I explain this?
Have you ever given clay to a four-year-old?
Have you ever tried to make a statue of the Michelin Man and realized you weren't as talented as you thought and gave up halfway through?
Have you ever stuck noses on random shapes and called it a person?
Have you ever... I accidentally put some sort of trinket in the oven and it melted a little bit and became unrecognizable.
I mean, what we're looking at here is an abomination.
It's a sin against art.
I can't even tell you what it looks like or what it is.
I mean, you just got to see it for yourself.
It looks either unfinished or just amateurish.
I mean... What's going through these people's minds?
What is happening to people?
Are they all pretending?
Is everybody else acting?
Is that what's going on? I almost want to believe that's what's going on because I don't want to live in a world where the artistic elites legitimately think that this looks good and is art.
They think it's funny? Is this a joke?
Are they playing a big joke on us?
I mean, what is this?
I guess it's better than the newest Martin Luther King statue, but just barely.
What is this cult of ugliness that we're dealing with?
Seriously, it's like...
If you take Europe as a culture...
It would be like you had an old friend that was an amazing artist...
That could just do photorealistic portraits from memory.
And then you see him 10 years later...
And he's drawing like Picasso level, just like smearing stuff on the canvas.
And if you saw that, you'd be like, what happened?
Did you get a head injury?
Maybe they're like, yeah, actually, I fell in front of a train and I had to get half my brain removed so I can't do art anymore.
Like, that's what happened to Europe. Something happened in the last 150 years that has taken Europe as a Culture from the highest, most incredible art ever to just preschool level Play-Doh abominations.
It's crazy. It's completely crazy.
Speaking of crazy, what do you make of this story from Raw Alerts?
Authorities have found a dead man at an amusement park We're good to go.
The man was heavily armed with a semi-automatic rifle and semi-automatic handgun and had multiple loaded magazines for both weapons.
He was wearing body armor and what appeared to be a ballistic helmet.
Additionally, multiple improvised explosive devices were discovered with the man and in a vehicle.
The investigation is still ongoing and very active.
Given the amount of weapons, ammunition, and explosive devices found, the subject could have implemented an attack according to officials.
So what is that about?
I don't know if we have an update to this, but I think the cause of death would be an important piece of information to know.
Did he get ready to attack and just killed himself?
Like, did he die from violence?
Or did the vaccine prevent a mass murder here?
Was he about to go kill a bunch of people at an amusement park when all of a sudden the blood clot came loose and lodged in his heart and he died?
He was found dead at the parking lot before law enforcement arrived.
That is crazy.
It's not clear what happened.
Okay. Very strange.
There's another strange story.
Young Thug's lawyer wants video evidence of a goat sacrifice ritual to be suppressed from trial.
Young Thug's co-defendant, Shannon S.B. Stilwell, was arrested by police right in the middle of a ritual involving the sacrifice of goats.
The rapper's attorney has filed a motion to suppress this piece of evidence because it would cause prejudice against him.
Yeah, I think it might.
It just might. In early 2022, Young Thug and several members of YSL Records were arrested and charged with conspiracy to violate the RICO Act.
YSL member Shannon Stillwell, a.k.a.
SB, was arrested around the same time on alleged murder charges.
But that arrest was rather bizarre and it was all caught on video, most likely body cams.
When police raided Stillwell's home, he was reportedly in the midst of an all-out goat sacrifice ritual.
They're asking it not to be presented because it would prejudice the jury.
Yeah, I mean, I guess it would.
But is that really prejudice?
That's just evidence that you're some sort of satanic weirdo.
Maybe that should be on evidence in trial.
This is Third World, story from Infowars.com.
CVS displays framed pictures of toilet paper.
Customers must ask for it.
This is the way a Washington DC CVS is dealing with rampant criminality and shoplifting.
Now you can't buy anything in the store.
There's just pictures of the products in picture frames and a store employee has to go get it from the back.
You know, I'm no expert in retail management.
I don't think this is a sustainable process.
I don't think anybody's gonna buy anything from this store ever again.
I think you might as well just shut the store down at this point.
Who is gonna do this?
So again, folks, we're going into a world where there's not going to be stores anymore.
I mean, it's just all you're going to order it.
And if you go outside, you're going to die from the criminals attacking you.

At some point down the line, the narrative changed to be around climate.
What was the narrative prior to that?
What was the justification they were giving in order to push this kind of more control from the top down?
alex newman
Yeah, immediately preceding climate and environment, actually the Cold War was the pretext for having this incredibly large, incredibly powerful federal government.
In fact, you see a very clear break when the Club of Rome met in 1991 as the Soviet state and the Eastern European communist states were collapsing.
The Club of Rome, very, very powerful elitist.
Obviously, Mikhail Gorbachev was there.
You had many prominent Americans, people like Al Gore.
They got together. And they came up with this incredible document where they actually said we need a new justification for this all-powerful state.
So the new excuse is going to be because the environment is going to be harmed and because climate is going to hurt us.
unidentified
Wait, what?
I could not believe what I just heard.
Did world leaders really lay out this globalist plan in plain English in a physical book way back in 1991?
I went on Amazon, and there it was.
The first global revolution, which states, and I quote, In searching for a common enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine, and the like, would fit the bill.
And therefore, the real enemy is humanity itself.
The science is clear.
We are getting dangerously close to the point of no return.
The science is very clear.
This natural world is severely endangered.
joe biden
Code red for humanity.
It's not a group of political officials, elected officials.
unidentified
These are the scientists. There is a top-down quality to this policy, which is extremely forceful.
And the forcefulness comes from scientism, which is the ideology that we understand the world fully because of science.
We have to listen to the science to that we have a better future for tomorrow.
It's just ideological BS. And it's also quite dangerous.
It's a dangerous way of looking at the world because then it means nothing matters apart from science.
Culture doesn't matter.
History doesn't matter. Religion doesn't matter.
Social interaction doesn't matter.
Nothing matters but science.
You don't need to be a theologian or philosopher to understand that that's complete nonsense, but also dangerous nonsense.
If nothing matters than just science, And what kind of a world do we actually live in?
klaus schwab
History is truly at a turning point.
In times of crisis, the role of governments is more important and more relevant than ever.
alex newman
The World Economic Forum was actually a critical part of implementing this UN agenda.
Some years ago they became A strategic partner of the UN in the implementation of Agenda 2030.
And then you start looking at the connections between the World Economic Forum and China.
Klaus Schwab and Xi Jinping, they're like old buddies.
They put out press releases about how much they love each other.
So you've got the super capitalists, represented by the World Economic Forum.
And then on the government side, you have communists.
After Agenda 2030 was adopted, the Communist Party in China put out through all their propaganda organs, they said, Critical role in this Agenda 2030.
You had Javier Solana, the head of NATO, saying this was going to be the next great leap forward.
The last great leap forward in China killed millions of people.
Why would we want another one of those?
That's crazy. So you have communists and super capitalists all coming together and working on this one sustainable development agenda, and that should make us all pause and say, wait a minute, that doesn't make sense on the surface.
unidentified
What's going on here? China is a powerful example of what can be achieved when national governments make environmental protection a top priority.
The motivations of those who are pushing this agenda, many of them tend to emulate countries like China.
Which have abysmal environmental records.
This is a country that has massive pollution problems.
They don't seem to care about rivers and lakes and streams.
There's all sorts of toxins pouring into them.
In actuality, I would say their envy of China is more to do with their control over their population and control over politics than it has to do with the environment.
In looking at this, it looks like the environment's a tool to achieve power.
More than it is an end goal of itself to actually protect nature.
In a galaxy torn by conflict, where darkness spreads its tendrils across the universe, one hero rises against the immeasurable might of the globalists.

harrison smith
Alright, welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, third hour of The War Room is on.
Owen Troyer, of course, incarcerated right now.
So I'm Harrison Smith, sitting in for him for the next little while.
Very happy to be joined by my guest, Jonathan Shaw.
He is an American tattoo artist and writer.
He founded New York City's oldest tattoo shop, Fun City Tattoo, in 1976 before tattooing was even legal in the city.
He sold Fun City in 2002 after only five years of legal operation to focus on writing.
After 28 years of tattooing, Jonathan retired from the profession in 2004, moved back to
Rio de Janeiro where he wrote his first novel, Narcissa, Narcissa?
Narcissa.
Narcissa.
Our Lady of Ashes, published in 2008 by HarperCollins.
Iggy Pop described Shaw as, quote, the greatest, the great nightmare anti-hero of the new age.
That's quite an applet you have there.
His memoir, entitled Scab Vendor, was published in 2017 and he has a new movie called Scab
Vendor, The Life and Times of Jonathan Shaw, Confessions of a Tattoo Artist.
unidentified
Welcome to the show, sir. It's a pleasure to be here, man.
jonathan shaw
I've been a follower of, you know, I've followed Alex's work for decades, and I've watched your show on the regular, so wow, I can't believe I'm here.
It's really, really, really a great honor, man.
harrison smith
Well, it's great to have you here, and I guess that just means you continue to be on, like, the forefront of counterculture, because I watched your documentary, The Scab Vendor, and how can people, if people want to watch that, how can they find it?
jonathan shaw
It's in the process right now.
It's making the rounds of film festivals all over the world.
And finally, I think they've got a distributor.
So, God willing, it'll be distributed in North America at least.
In the beginning of next year.
So sometime in the spring or so, spring, summer of next year.
So, you know, we're looking forward to that.
harrison smith
Very cool. Yeah. And I, you know, I knew you were in town for a screening this weekend.
I was out of town and I thought, man, I really would love to go meet this guy.
He seems really cool, but I'm going to be out of town.
You know, oh, well, what are you going to do?
And then our producer, Rob, hit me up and was like, hey, there's this guy that, can you come on the show?
And I was like, yes, of course. I wanted to meet him anyway.
So I'm so happy that this happened to work out this way.
jonathan shaw
This is a mutual admiration society, big time.
And, you know, I was just watching, I was in the control room with these guys before this.
And I saw the thing where you posted the thing about the water fountain in Austria.
And I was just like, man, you know, this is what I'm talking about.
That's actually why I'm, you know, this dumbing down of culture.
It's a controlled demolition.
It's incremental. It's been happening forever and ever.
It's pervaded every area of human society at this point because that's part of the whole Marxist agenda, if you will.
I mean, it's like, you know, just make the stupid stupider.
You know, and make the smart just so disgusted that they just, you know, just don't even want to puke in their hat and just walk away from everything.
And, you know, it's this nihilistic thing that, you know, somebody that works, you know, in the arts and literature and, you know, visual arts, tattooing, all this, all these years.
You know, I've been ranting about this to anybody who listened for decades.
And, you know, I even made this cap, you know, it's kind of a takeoff of the MAGA hat, and it's like, make tattoos cool again, you know, because even the tattoo industry, as they call it nowadays, you know, has been permeated with this whole woke mentality, and, you know, there's a lot of...
You know, everything is just cultural decadence is just the norm today.
You know, and it's this clown world on every level from, you know, the highest, most serious levels to what you would think were kind of, you know, futile, not so important stuff.
But it's like, you know, the other night I was...
I went with a friend, mutual friend, who actually was good friends with Alex, who kind of was responsible for me being here.
And he's a big sports fan.
And, you know, we sat...
At some sports bar and watched the World Series.
And I was just so... Because I never...
I haven't watched television in like 30 years.
Right. I just don't watch it.
I watch you guys all the time.
But I sat there and I saw this gigantic stadium just filled with human beings just going like...
Just pouring all their passion into, you know, a guy, you know, hitting a little ball with a stick and running around and everybody's just like...
And it's like, I'm watching all that energy, basically, that human energy and passion just go down the freaking toilet.
harrison smith
Yep. Just dissipate into nothing.
jonathan shaw
And meanwhile, all this stuff that, you know, you talk about that we wonder at on the regular, just stand back in amazement with our mouths open, going like, what the F is going on here?
Nobody seems to notice.
Nobody seems to care.
And meanwhile, you know, the bread and circus just is like, you know, it's just, you know, and the commercials, you know, every two seconds there's commercials for all kinds of just nasty reptilian people.
harrison smith
It's crazy. Yeah, it's weird.
I have a two-and-a-half-year-old and I'm like, I can't show them commercials because they're creepy.
It's like they're showing stuff on commercials that I don't want my kid to see.
It's cringy. You'll give him nightmares.
Yeah, it's cringy and it's weird.
So what has happened?
Because that was the fascinating thing about your documentary is you have just sort of made your way through pop culture for the last couple decades and interacted with Some names that, of course, everybody will recognize.
Obviously, we already quoted Iggy Pop, Johnny Depp, but also like Bukowski, the great poet, and even Charles Manson you had some interactions with.
So, I mean, you were there sort of, you know, in the flower child sort of burgeoning of this counterculture movement.
How have you seen it change over the last couple decades?
jonathan shaw
Well, that's the really remarkable thing to me, like, you know, because I'm a child of the 50s, you know, I'm a little older than I look.
I'm 70 years old, so I grew up, you know, like, hanging out with people like Jim Morrison and Frank Zappa and, you know, all these kind of, you know, soon-to-be legendary people who were just, you know, our friends and neighbors at the time.
I mean, I was a kid. You know, that was...
You know, we were all...
Everybody was like, screw the system.
Right. You know, can I say that? You know, I was like...
Of course. You know, I mean, that was...
You know, what liberals were about.
It was like, no, I'm not going to Vietnam and fight for the, you know, industrial, you know, war complex.
You know, I'm not going to, you know, get...
You know, it was like...
Down with the man, you know?
Right. And all those same people, you know, grew up and became...
I mean, so many of them just like...
They must obey. They became the man.
And I stand back and I watch these people who are once upon a time true classical liberals, and now they basically act more like fascists.
I mean, that's basically...
And I don't think they...
It's like we were saying before.
It's like when you're in a cult, you don't know you're in a cult.
Right. It's like, you know, you can say, you're in a cult, and it's like, what are you talking about?
This is normal, the new normal.
We're in a cult, but we don't recognize it as a cult.
This is just the way things are supposed to be.
How did that happen? I'm still scratching my head.
I mean, as an artist and as a writer, I explore these dark...
I mean, obviously I see this whole thing as a spiritual battle.
I work with plant medicine, I work with spiritual practices, kind of underworld occult stuff.
If you read my books, when I was growing up, my family Of origin, my mother, my father, these guys were communists.
They were involved in all sorts of weird, creepy stuff that I didn't know about until I got much older and started digging into these things to find out that these guys were involved in stuff that's like MKUltra, the guy who was the scientist.
Who, you know, was basically in charge of MKUltra, was dating my mother's best friend when I was a little kid, you know?
harrison smith
Oh, weird. Yeah, California's where it all went down.
jonathan shaw
It's all kinds of stuff.
And I grew up in the middle of this.
You know, I just read this book about Charles Manson.
You know, it's called Chaos. Amazing book.
And probably the guy who wrote that, you know, went so far down the rabbit hole that he kind of lost the plot.
But the fact is, that was all nothing like what it was presented to be.
And so many things, you know, are presented in such and such a way, you could just go right down the list.
harrison smith
Yeah, Jim Jones is another one.
You start looking into that, and it's MKUltra connections left and right, CIA connections left and right.
I mean, once you start peeling back layers...
jonathan shaw
It's the onion.
It just goes and goes and goes.
It's like I can't believe anything.
I don't know what's up, what's down.
It's clown world.
harrison smith
It is absolute clown world.
And, man, you have seen it from both sides.
And we'll get into sort of what earlier before the show you described as your awakening.
So we'll get into The Awakening of Jonathan Shaw.
Again, Scab Vendor, The Life and Times of Jonathan Shaw, is the new memoir.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
What you're seeing on screen there is the movie poster for Scab Vendor, Confessions of a Tattoo Artist, and that is Jonathan Shaw.
It's really a documentary about your life, and I didn't get to finish the whole thing, but I watched a lot of it, and again, it was just fascinating the number of celebrities that your life has led you to be intertwined with, even in just a passing way, like Like Charles Manson, you were just at a party with him at one point, right?
But you grew up in this celebrity culture.
What did you learn growing up as you're actually the son of a very famous musician and a movie star, right?
So you grew up in this celebrity culture.
What sort of unique perspective did that give you?
jonathan shaw
You know, that's a really great question because from a very...
I think the perspective it gave me is a very privileged perspective, not privileged in the sense of like, you know, cash and prizes, but privileged in the sense of having a certain vision that a lot of people don't have.
And that is that, you know, I, from a very early age, I saw in my family of origin that these people were, you know, really tortured souls.
You know, my father was like a...
You know, insane sex and love addict.
My mother was, you know, just hope to die alcoholic.
And, you know, there was a lot of violence and abuse and even suicide and homicides in my family of origin as I was growing up as a kid.
So I got to see the dark side of what everybody else thinks is glamorous and attractive and celebrity.
You know, you know, let's follow.
You know, this is who this is what we want.
You know, this is what we aspire to, you know, all this.
And I, as a very young child, got to see the dark side of all that, the flip side, you know, the underbelly.
And I saw that, wow, these people are not right.
There's something wrong here.
And as a little kid, you know, I couldn't really put my, you know, my finger on it or, you know, give a name or words to it, but I just instinctively knew that, you know, I got to run away from all this.
Whatever, you know, whatever's behind all this, you know, glamour and glitz is really some dark, sinister stuff going on, you know, like, you know, demonic shit.
harrison smith
Right. Excuse me, excuse me.
jonathan shaw
And, you know, so from a real early age, you know, I feel today, I mean, you know, I suffered from that as a kid, like not knowing, you know, which way is up, not trusting the ground I walked on because any minute, you know, some horrible thing could happen and somebody could literally die right in front of me.
But today, you know, as a man, I can see that as a great...
Gift that I was given because it gave me a point of perspective about what you see is not always what you're getting.
I feel that that's been my coat of armor throughout the years of my life because I always abhorred anything You know, that on the surface looked really, really too good to be true.
You know, it's like, no, there's, there's, you know, there, there's a rat lurking, you know, under the birthday cake.
unidentified
Right. A rat lurking under, that's great.
harrison smith
And I know before the show, you sort of described the process that you've been through, I guess, in the last few years of an awakening.
But was it an awakening or is this sort of a lifelong process that you've been through?
How did you end up on Infowars, I guess, is the question.
jonathan shaw
I feel the hand of divine intervention here because...
You know, I mean, I've been following Alex's work for decades.
You know, I watch your show on the regular.
I mean, you know, you guys are like my peeps, you know.
Yeah, that's awesome. And suddenly I'm here to, you know, to attend this film festival, which really, you know, big deal, you know.
They showed the movie and half a dozen people, you know, slapped their hands and, you know, and off, you know, off we went to the next thing, you know.
But... But to be here, I mean, that's just, you know, a confluence of circumstances that could only have, you know, the hand of some higher force putting me right here, you know, with the people who I respect, who I admire, who I resonate with and identify with, you know, in this spiritual war that we're living in today, you know, and forever, really.
But, you know, how do I... The awakening.
I mean, in some sense, you know, as a little kid, you know, I grew up in, you know, with this different sort of vision and, you know, stumbled through life like kind of like a, you know, a feral...
You know, one of my mentors as a writer always described it as like, you know, until he woke up, he used to say, Hubert Selby Jr., he wrote Requiem for a Dream, he wrote Last Exit to Brooklyn, they made movies of both of his books.
And he used to always say, you know, I was a scream looking for a mouth, you know?
And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's it.
You know, I was just like a scream looking for a mouth.
Finding a mouth was like...
Being able to express all this stuff, I had to undergo a deep, tremendously painful, spiritual surgery kind of thing.
I was comforting myself for many years through liquor and drugs.
I've been clean and sober for almost 23 years now, but until that happened, through the pain and suffering that an alcoholic or a drug addict keeps on themselves, I finally got to the point where I was just like, okay, I give up.
Help. What do I do next?
And then it was like, then we're going to talk about God, if you will.
Then we're going to talk about humility.
Then we're going to talk about seeking to be of service in this world of illusion, of tremendous Deception, you know, and that's when I started to, you know, look at the works of people like George Orwell, David Icke, you know, go down the list, all the usual, you know, suspects.
And suddenly it was like, whoa, you know, this is what I've been, you know, sensing all my life, but I couldn't find The frequency that resonated with my need to understand certain things, you know? I actually had the honor of interviewing David Icke almost 20 years ago.
I sat in a hotel room and I interviewed him for hours and it wasn't amazing.
I'd already read all these books, or at least a lot of them.
And there you're talking about somebody who's divinely inspired.
Because how could one human being in this brain bucket manage to contain such Minuscule, detailed levels of information, you know, names and places and dates and things and happenings.
And it's like, whoa, you know, I'm standing in the presence of somebody who's been downloaded by higher forces of all this knowledge and information.
And I was just like, whoa, I just sat there like gobsmacked for hours with this guy, you know, and it's just like...
harrison smith
But that's how it happens, isn't it?
You can tell you're missing something, even if you don't know what it is.
You can tell things don't quite add up.
I'm sure a lot of our audience and myself as well, where you just see things happen, you go, how is everybody buying into this delusion?
Am I missing something?
Why do these two things not line up?
What is the thing I'm missing here?
And then you start asking, then you start going down the rabbit hole.
But it always starts off with that sort of indefinable, Discomfort where you just go, something's not right here.
jonathan shaw
What is it? Exactly.
Exactly. That was the story of my life.
Just walking around like a, literally a rebel without any, you know, just understanding of what, just know that whatever it is, it's all wrong.
Right. How does this, you know, what's, where are the pieces to this scattered jigsaw puzzle?
harrison smith
No, exactly. And what image is it even trying to make?
All right, we'll be right back with Jonathan Shaw.
Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Jonathan Shaw is my guest in studio.
If you get a chance, go see Scab Vendor, Confessions of a Tattoo Artist.
It may be in a town near you.
It's still being screened right now.
Hopefully it'll be on some form of platform at some point.
It's a book as well, Scab Vendor, Confessions of a Tattoo Artist, available on Amazon.com.
Jonathan Shaw is the author.
You know, thinking about the documentary starts off, like we said, sort of with Jim Morrison and, you know, Charles Manson.
But, you know, at the time, it was the flower child sort of awakening.
And I was watching another documentary.
It wasn't really a documentary, but it was just a show about Woodstock 2000.
And Woodstock 2000, if nobody's ever seen anything about this, I mean, it was hell.
I mean, it seemed like hell on earth because it's just, right?
Do you know about the Woodstock 99?
jonathan shaw
I'm sorry. I wasn't there.
I don't think I even...
Even in my own primitive, you know, way of being back in the day, I don't think I would have liked to have been there.
harrison smith
Well, no. I mean, it was, you know, it was when grunge turned into, like, Nine Inch Nails.
It's just, like, aggression and misery.
I mean... It was crazy.
And so, you know, they would constantly compare the first Woodstock to Woodstock 99, and of course it's Flower Children.
Right, it's this downward...
But I kept thinking like was there something about that original flower child, you know hippie revolution
That sort of was gonna inevitably lead to just whatever it is that we're experiencing now
Because you know growing up you see all the stories about the 60s and the civil rights movement
You think like man, what a glorious thing. What a great thing to have been a part of because it wasn't wrong, right
the Vietnam War was horrible and they were expecting young
American men to go sacrificed their lives by the thousands.
It was totally unnecessary, totally unwarranted.
It was the right thing to oppose that, but that's what really started, I think, the fracture sort of led to where we are now.
I thought that was an interesting symbol, and I kept thinking about that while I was watching the documentary because you lived through this transition from the hopefulness of You know, smoking a joint and laying in a field of flowers to, like, heroin and crack and just the downfall of the civilization that we're seeing now.
So, I don't know. That kept popping into my mind as I was watching the documentary.
jonathan shaw
That's a huge... I mean, the documentary is inspired, you know, loosely by my book.
And my books are big, thick, you know, books that go into many areas that they couldn't possibly, you know, approach with an hour-and-a-half movie.
Right. But in those books, you know, I sort of delve into that, like the whole idea that, you know, the 60s counterculture thing.
You know, of course, you know, the nefarious powers, you know, occult powers were all into that because this posed a threat to so many special interests.
You know, the fact that people were like, yeah, peace and love.
Let's, you know, let's not have war.
Let's love each other.
Let's, you know, do all this stuff.
Of course, that whole mentality that seemed to be pervasive in people's innocent sort of perceptions back then, of course that would inspire a lot of opposition from the powers that shouldn't be.
And, of course, there were a lot of...
A lot of efforts to squash that.
This is the anti-Vietnam War movement, which was huge in this country.
I personally believe, and I wrote this in the book, that Manson, even before I'd read this book that confirmed everything I suspected, You know, because I'd crossed paths with Manson.
I was a teenager, and, you know, I was on the scene in Hollywood, and Manson was around, and, you know, I visited the Spawn Ranch, you know, with all these, you know...
harrison smith
And at the time, you just seemed like sort of a quirky kind of flower child guy.
jonathan shaw
Yeah, it was cool, yeah, you know, we didn't know, you know.
harrison smith
Lurking under the surface, yeah.
jonathan shaw
Well, nobody knew, you know, but later when I wrote these books, I was like, you know, it seems like the whole Manson thing was almost like a psyop Later on, I found out, indeed, he was, you know, he'd been subject to MKUltra experiments and stuff.
But, you know, I just knew instinctively when I started looking into this, you know, in retrospect, that, of course, you know, this is like, what's the best way to discredit, like, a popular movement of, you know, of kids, you know, college kids and high school kids and just, you know, youth
movement saying no to war.
Well, you know, we'll just present all these peace and love hippies as a bunch of, you
know, bloodthirsty, psychopathic, stone cold killers.
And then Manson was created, you know, and and.
I just knew that, but I didn't have all the facts and research and background to say, oh yeah, I can prove that.
But then this guy, meanwhile, this researcher went and spent like 30 years of his life just going way down the rabbit hole, and he came up with all these facts and figures, and sure enough, The whole thing was manipulated from the very beginning.
The whole thing was, you know, of course, because, I mean, you've got to be able to just, you know, this is, you know, these are the oldest tricks that just go back centuries.
And, you know, this is what we're seeing today.
And, you know, we wonder, well, how is it that whole...
You know, swaths of humanity who are, you know, seemingly intelligent, well-educated people with some level of discernment.
How are they suddenly, you know, just following along in this, you know, just like lemmings off the cliff?
How does that happen?
Well, you know, you can almost see how it happens.
You know, by the grace of God, somehow I was spared You know, that thing, but I think that's only through, you know, just happy circumstances, you know, having grown up in a world that I could never trust anything I saw or smelled or tasted or felt or heard, you know, everything was suspect.
Right. You know, and thank God for that, because today, you know, it's good to have that BS detector.
harrison smith
Yeah, absolutely. It's more necessary now than ever.
I think it's getting harder for them, but you mentioned it earlier, that's cult programming, and maybe that's what we're doing here, just trying to deprogram some of the people that have fallen into this.
Is it possible? For my own sanity, I have to hope that it is.
Otherwise, I'm wasting my time up here, right?
jonathan shaw
Maybe not. Maybe not.
Maybe, you know, because maybe what you're doing is just letting the people who are already awake or hungry for awakeness know that they're not alone.
harrison smith
Right. The people that are going through the motions of the cult going, I'm not sure I totally believe this fully.
jonathan shaw
The ones that are on the fence, you know, it's like, you know, here's a little boost.
harrison smith
Yeah. Yeah, a little window into the real world you can peek through and see if it's something you might enjoy.
But I talk about it all the time that it's very simple, human psychology, whether you're talking about just On a one-to-one basis, an abusive relationship, or a small group, a small cult, like Manson only had, you know, 12 followers or something, right? He didn't have that many followers.
But it's the same psychological buttons that are pressed, and you can even scale it up to entire civilizations.
It's all just very basic human psychology that's taken advantage of.
In fact, I have a clip.
We don't have to go to it here. But, you know, it's this guy talking about what was happening during COVID, and he was saying, well, Look, we were all scared.
We were all... But that's all it takes, right?
You invoke the fear.
You instill the fear in people.
You override their thinking faculties.
And now you can take advantage of it.
jonathan shaw
Problem, reaction, solution.
One, two, three, yeah. It's so...
Yeah, it's an old playbook.
It's an old playbook.
And, you know, how do people not see it?
You know, because, I mean, I know some pretty, intelligent, amazing artists and people, you know, of high stature who are, you know, like pretty, you know, like people I've always looked up to and admired.
And then, you know, once these subjects come up...
They will literally say, I will hear talking points from the mainstream media coming out of their mouth as if they had just come up with this idea and this was their opinion.
Like they're possessed or something, yeah. Like they're possessed.
It's literally like, I'm like, well, where do you get that information?
And it's already obvious that, you know, if it's not directly from the TV and they're like, no, I don't watch TV. Well, but you're talking to people who do.
Right. Or you're talking to people who are talking to people who are talking because it's almost like a cancer and it spreads and it infects.
harrison smith
It's a signal they're all getting from something.
jonathan shaw
It's a signal. It's a weird cult kind of, you know, programming that, you know, I see it as a spell.
I mean, I see it from a spiritual perspective, you know, people under a spell, you're under a spell, man.
You know, you can shake them, you can slap them, you can throw cold water on them.
People don't like to be, you know, people are fast asleep.
You know, and you try to wake them up, they're going to come out swinging, man.
You know, I'm up sleeping. Leave me alone.
harrison smith
Right. They have to actually want to know the truth.
It's impossible to try to convince people of something that they firmly decided that they don't even care whether they're right or not.
All right. We'll be back on the other side. Final segment with Jonathan Shaw.
Don't go anywhere, folks. All right, folks.
Welcome back. Final segment of The War Room.
I'm here with Jonathan Shaw in studio.
Just had one of the most fascinating lives of all time, and again, I don't even have time to explain how fascinating the whole documentary is that shows your life, but obviously can only barely touch on things that your books go into very extreme detail on.
Scab Vendor is the name of the book and the movie.
What's behind the title, Scab Vendor?
jonathan shaw
Well, you know, it's kind of, you know, scab vendor is kind of what the...
I don't know if I came up with that or it was something some old scab vendor said a long time ago to me because I came up from like the old school in tattooing.
So I learned from like first generation American tattoo artists, like legendary guys.
You know, now it's like a whole sort of, you know, woo-woo thing, you know.
But back in the day when I came into tattooing, you know, we were schooled by like old...
harrison smith
It was like sailors and bikers.
jonathan shaw
Yeah, it was a, you know, it was a two-fisted...
World back then, you know, and so the guys, you know, the scab vendor comes from that.
It's like, you know, because when you do a tattoo on somebody, you know, it scabs over if you take care of it or whatever, and, you know, and then you get a scab.
So I just thought scab vendor is just kind of a dark sort of pejorative way, you know, tongue-in-cheek, of course, you know, of saying a tattoo artist, scab vendor, you know, it's kind of like, I'm dismissive, but...
But, so that's where that came from.
And then the book, you know, I started writing these books about 20 years ago and it took a long time to write them because I was digging, digging, digging into things that I'd always feared to even venture into, you know, the dark history of my family and just the world and my life, you know, in the middle of all this crazy confluence of circumstances that I was born into.
Yeah, I was given a life that's pretty weird and unusual.
So I wrote these books, and then through that divine intervention, confluence of Strange circumstances.
There was approached by some filmmakers in South America.
They wanted to make a movie. I was like, yeah, sure, whatever.
Let's do it. I say yes to pretty much everything until it proves not to be wise to continue that path.
So I try to say yes to stuff.
And that happened, you know, and now there's a movie.
The movie's not out yet.
It's making the rounds of film festivals all over the world.
And they supposedly are going to distribute this movie to some platform, Netflix or Amazon or whatever, sometime in the spring next year.
Until then, you know, there's the books.
harrison smith
And you get the books at Amazon.com, Scab Vendor, Confessions of a Tattoo Artist.
jonathan shaw
Or you can get them from me.
harrison smith
Signed copies. There you go.
jonathan shaw
I'm on Instagram. Jonathan Shaw works.
You know, plug for, you know, if you want to buy a signed copy of my book.
harrison smith
Yeah, of course. Jonathan Shaw works.
That's the Instagram? That's me.
There you go. There's a quote at the beginning of the documentary where a guy says he was world famous before anybody knew his name, which is kind of a nice position to be in because you're in the celebrity culture, but you don't have the spotlight on you directly.
But anytime I have anybody in studio or anybody that I interview about Hollywood or just celebrity culture, they always sort of quietly say, you know, everybody in Hollywood actually loves Alex Jones.
They can't say anything. Nobody can say anything.
But, you know, we think of Hollywood as this totally woke, communist, like, you know, horrible system.
But is it true a lot of the celebrities really just quietly understand what's going on, but just they can't risk their careers to speak out?
jonathan shaw
I think so. I mean, I can't say with any real authority when we're the other, but I mean, I certainly get that vibe.
And then there's other people that I know who are maybe not celebrities, but are, you know, just...
You know, the meat and potatoes behind Hollywood.
I mean, almost all those people are very...
And it's not just in Hollywood.
It's all over the world. I mean, it's like everywhere I go, you know, I talk to cab drivers.
You know, I'm a tattoo guy, you know, so I tattoo a lot of blue-collar types and just rig it down.
Down home people all over wherever I go.
I travel constantly and I go from shop to shop all over the country and I'm tattooing people.
And it's like universal.
Almost everybody in that world, which is the world we live in, is just the guy who's, you know, cooking your fried eggs in the morning or whatever, you know, the guy that's working on your car.
All these guys, tattoo artists, you know, almost universally anybody I come in contact with It's the people that I meet that are the most educated, the most esteemed, the most seemingly admirable people that haven't got a clue.
And then it's like your regular people You know, just in the mainstream of the world, everybody knows.
Everybody's just like, what are you freaking kidding?
You know, this is like clown world, man.
You know, people get it.
And, you know, Hollywood's no different.
It's an industry like any other industry.
You know, and there's...
You know, hordes of people, you know, propping this whole, you know, shaky edifice up and keeping, you know, the wheels, you know, and the gears turning, you know, and everybody knows what's up, man.
You know, the truth, you know, it's like people instinctively know what's up in this world.
People are not stupid as, you know, the whole dumbing down effort to make people stupid by infusing stupidity into the music, the arts, the cinema, the everything.
Even the literature. It's just stupid, stupid, stupid awards for the stupidest stupidness.
People are just like, give me a friggin' break.
People are not dumb.
That's why I don't believe in talking down to people through whatever art medium that you're involved with or whatever.
I think you approach people at their highest common denominator, not their lowest.
I believe in You know, the nobility of human beings, you know, the human spirit.
At the same time, I see the spell being cast very effectively on, you know, large segments of the population.
So I'm sort of like, what is going on?
Yeah. How weird is all this?
harrison smith
Yeah, so how do we...
Turn that into victory.
Because I totally agree with you that, like, it's amazing the number of people who just walk up into the street and go, wait, what do you think about what's going on in Ukraine?
And they'll just be like, ah, that's probably about sex trafficking or something.
You're like, whoa, okay, yeah.
Whoa, you get it. More than I expected you to.
So it's like, it does seem like the majority of people now understand that...
What they're seeing on TV is all a game and we're being played against each other.
So how do we take that knowledge and how do we take the people that are awakening to a greater degree every day and how do we use that to free ourselves from this paradigm they've set up of stupidity upon stupidity?
jonathan shaw
Yeah, that's the eternal question.
harrison smith
If you can answer that question, I mean, we'll be done here.
jonathan shaw
I don't think I could. You know, that's the eternal question mark.
That's the eternal question mark.
And I just think it's like...
You know, working on oneself, because, you know, I see it from the perspective as a recovered alcoholic, as a recovering drug addict.
I see it from that perspective.
Like, I had to, you know, eat SHIT and die a thousand deaths before I was willing to humble myself To powers greater than myself and be willing to, you know, to ask for help and ask for information and ask, you know, the Creator to, you know, have mercy on me so that I could grow and learn and awaken.
But that, you know, so I mean, I think Nietzsche said a long time ago, you know, it's like only through great pain and suffering has the human being ever really evolved an inch.
In our trudge through, you know, this material, you know, hell pit of existence, you know?
So, it's a hopeful cynicism that I have.
It's an optimistic cynicism.
I really believe that people are...
We're capable and are waking up in droves, but that awakening is expedited by the degree of pain and suffering that people are willing to, you know, not let go of their old ideas.
You know, it's like, you know, I think it's like, let go or be dragged.
One way or the other, we're all going to waken up, whether we like it or not, whether we want to or not, because it's going to happen.
It's going to happen when the bombs are falling on our heads, when people are suffering and going, oh God, please have mercy on us horrible sinners.
We have brought this...
This horrible fate upon ourselves through our own egotism, through our own stubbornness and rebellious nature.
It's the Christ consciousness that I believe is trying to get in.
People are not willing to open the door that's being knocked on.
Sooner or later, there's going to come a great wind and just blow the whole thing to hell and high water.
And it's unfortunate.
But that seems to be, through my own experience, I would have never been willing to...
You know, waking up to any truths if I hadn't been just bludgeoned into submission.
And I think if you extrapolate that to the, you know, to the whole of humanity, when it comes to all these questions that we talk about, that we know about, we see happening, you know, in our world, I think it's just you extrapolate that to the point where it just becomes like a common theme.
And you see that people will awaken, you know, contingent on their, you know, on their...
Ability to let go of pain and suffering.
harrison smith
Yeah. No, I get exactly what you're saying.
And the more we awaken, the more they push.
And it's a feedback loop. Thank you so much, Jonathan Shaw.
alex jones
Now about to talk about something really historic and very, very exciting.
There's a lot of angles to this in the limited time we have.
But America has been a special place because we aspired to liberty and freedom when nobody else was aspiring to it.
We weren't perfect. We were far from it.
But it was a place where experiments were allowed and where people could really try to prove themselves, not because of what family they came from or because they were from royalty, but a meritocracy based on what they could produce, what they could do.
There were two things that really fueled and funded the colonies and the launch of America in 1776.
And both of them are interesting.
Both of them have dark histories.
But both of them are something that you can't enjoy responsibly.
That's, of course, tobacco and the Virginia colony.
unidentified
And that's, of course, whiskey.
alex jones
And Sam Adams with Whiskey and Beer was one of the main boosters and funders, in fact probably the biggest funder, of George Washington and our troops.
So it was Whiskey and Beer.
Not wine. The liberals love to drink.
I'm not against wine. It's just a fact that literally fuel the start of our country along with this tobacco.
And I enjoy both, but I've really gotten good over the years at being responsible.
Sometimes I might go four months.
That's the longest I've gone the last few years with no tobacco or no alcohol.
But when I'm with friends, when I'm with family, when I'm with patriots, I enjoy both of them and they go together like a horse and carriage.
Show. Two years ago, I got approached by great patriots from some of my connections who are major craft whiskey producers in Kentucky.
So they brought me dozens of these amazing whiskeys that they had developed and also procured.
And out of all of them, I like this Kentucky straight bourbon.
Again, I'm no whiskey connoisseur.
I just know what tastes good, what I like, what It feels good, which doesn't give you that big hangover after.
I liked out of dozens, over a dozen I tried, this whiskey.
Now, the bad news is they only had so many barrels of it, and so it's a limited supply.
There's 10,000 bottles of this as of the time I'm cutting this.
And it is amazing.
And it's been ready for a year because of leftists trying to block it being in stores and behind-the-scenes harassment and debanking and stuff of this major whiskey company.
This has been in the warehouse for a year.
So it wasn't just aged for the years.
It was in the barrels. It's been aged by their censorship and went from amazing to incredible.
So it's a very special bottle, too.
That's why we have all these government documents here in front of me right here.
Because if you aim a blacklight at ConspiracyBourbon, ConspiracyBourbon.com is the only place to get it.
It's got all of these hidden messages on it, on the front and on the back.
So like I said, this is really, really special.
Limited run, only place to get it.
We have the Conspiracy Imperatives, ten of them, kind of the Ten Commandments.
There's only 10,000 bottles of this at conspiracybourbon.com.
Destroy the Tyrants. It just goes on and on.
This is very, very special.
I would imagine that most people that get this are never going to open it.
Gut level, I think this is going to be a major collector's item.
We could have sold it for $200 in the market.
It's 60-something bucks instead, and it's a fundraiser for the operation.
We're really, really, really, really proud of it.
So while you're hanging out with your friends, your family, your co-workers, you name it, It's really important to remember what Americana is all about, and if you are somebody that likes a fine whiskey, well, this is it, and it funds the InfoWars.
A true 360 win.
For myself, the entire InfoWars crew, here's to you, and here's to America.
This isn't some Dylan Mulvaney, Anheuser-Busch, transgenderism, you know, creepazoid targeting our children.
This is high-quality American Kentucky This drink of conspiracy is for you.
One place to get it, conspiracybourbon.com.
