And she said, yes, he does, too.
Bridget said, I pronounce you 99 to life.
Son, she's no lady.
She's your wife.
And I can't remember how I met her.
Seemed like she's always just been hanging here all night.
And I can't remember how I ever
All that I just couldn't love without a woman's charm.
And even though she loves the smell of French perfume.
And even though she walks around and had me shoot.
All I know is I'm the one who pays her price.
Man, she's no lady.
She's my wife.
She's always just been hanging here all night.
And I can't remember how I ever
All that I just couldn't love without a woman's charm.
Yes, she hates my mama.
She hates my daddy, too.
She loves to tell me how much she hates the things I do.
She loves to lie beside me almost every night.
She's no lady.
She's my wife.
She's no lady.
She's my wife.
Car walked around and I looked wrong COVID.
Maybe things will get a little better in the morning.
Maybe things will get a little better.
A clothes need washing and the fire won't start.
Kids all crying and you're breaking my heart.
The whole damn place is falling apart.
But maybe things will get a little better.
Maybe things will get a little better.
Work your fingers to the bone.
What do you get?
I've been broke as long as I remember.
Well, I get a little money.
I gotta run this business.
When I try to see the pretty woman come and take a seat.
Maybe things will get a little better in the morning.
Maybe things will get a little better.
Work your fingers to the bone.
What do you get?
The sun's too hot.
The whole darn world is going to pop.
The hottest world like it cuz you're all that I've got.
Maybe things will get a little better.
Work your fingers to the bone.
What do you get?
My love's broken.
Maybe things will get a little better in the morning.
Maybe things will get a little better.
Work your fingers to the bone.
What do you get?
There's a pretty flower in California, got no regrets, making him my own.
But there's some dirt down, out on the bayou, weed for my boy, weed for my boy.
So turn my phone on that set, slap that pony low, let it ride, let it ride.
Get it right like a wind, all the way to New Orleans.
Where I'm going, live boy, where I'm going, get by my baby.
You're the one thing I'm gonna miss, and when that fall grows in California,
I'm gonna feel my love mama, baby give me a kiss.
When that time I'm on that set, slap that pony low, let it ride, let it ride.
Get it right like a wind, all the way to New Orleans.
Where I'm going, live boy, where I'm going, live in the circle.
Lay it down, and do the ride, both pull off that bottom brother.
And play all night boy, play all night.
When that time I'm on that set, slap that pony low, let it ride, let it ride.
Get it right like a wind, all the way to New Orleans.
What is this garbage you're watching?
I want to watch the news.
What's happening everybody? Good morning.
Good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are, wherever you're hanging out.
J.M. Wake up.
Okay, there is no need for that name.
You bitch!
Clearly you got a second one.
That's what my family's murdered by the CIA, Steve.
Won't you vax that thing up?
Y'all talking about heat now, isn't it?
Why are you talking about eating now, isn't it?
The idea of comedy, really, is not everybody should be laughing.
It should be about 50 people laughing and 50 people horrified.
Trying to have serious conversations about a serious thing.
Y'all talking about eating the booze.
We should nip it in the booze.
Nobody can dispute the fact that we need...
Tony Fauci Gumbo's suppository.
You have direct incision.
Sometimes I retract into my shell in order to avoid some of the drama that we've seen recently.
Did you hear the question, Senator?
Running for reelection in 2026?
Spooks in Spain!
If you want to fight against a country, you need a F-15.
You need some a little more than a gun.
No, I'm not joking. Think about this.
Whatever. Taxation is still...
Oh! Goddammit, motherfucker!
I love you guys. We'll see you soon.
Good luck to us all.
But wait! There's more.
You crazy.
Can you help me with my iPad?
Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry.
Did you ask your daughter?
She told me to ask you. You are an knowledgeable servant.
Come over here. Let me see you try it. I'm going to see you try it. Come here.
What's the problem?
I'm going to start how I always start.
Okay.
It's all over it. Were you raised in a bar?
I started out this morning.
I wasn't going to...
I need to see you try.
I think something's different because, you know, the new year.
What?
The bolt. The air plate.
The bolt. The lightning bolt.
Are you serious?
The lightning bolt.
Figure it out.
I'm not asking you. I'm telling you.
Fine. I'll do it.
Like I do everything.
All right. What's your Apple ID password?
The one I used to get into the library.
The library?
It's got little signs.
Smiling monkey.
They need some consequences.
Dad, maybe no more pickleball.
Something that will not help me get to my e-books.
You're not going to figure it out, okay? I wasn't born yesterday.
Yeah, I know I was there.
Watch it, young old man.
You know what? That's it.
No other choice. I've taken the C-pad.
Don't do that.
Yeah.
It looks like...
Choke into death.
And the dog will be barkin' and your mom will be barkin'.
I don't know what else to do.
That's why I have indigestion now.
At least I own my house.
All the powers to govern themselves,
but none of the powers to threaten us.
And what that means is that in the tiny area
between the Jordan River.
Check it out, guys.
So this is called the Silly Gun.
This is a patented device that is so much smaller
of a caulk gun than your traditional system like this.
And I just want to show you light for light.
So with a full tube of caulking,
you're looking at 25 inches here from end to end.
And if you're trying to caulk around a toilet,
it makes it nearly impossible.
And a lot of times we end up with half of a used caulk bottle
like this one.
So I'm going to demonstrate to you how easy this is to load
and what the huge advantage is to this system.
So first of all, it has the tool right here
that you can just pop out.
So you pull it to the side.
You can pierce the caulk bottle.
And then you simply pop it back into its place like that.
And next what you're going to do is just pull on this tab
right here.
And it's actually going to slip these little grooves
right here inside of the tube of caulking.
You can see it slips in.
And now once we're in, we're simply going to go like this
and it's going to start feeding that caulk out.
And at the same time, it's cutting the tube of caulking,
which is amazing.
So once we get to the point that we're starting to feed out,
you'll notice too that it has an anti to where it
continues running out.
It doesn't do that.
It just stops and nothing continues to come out of here.
If anything, it's really, really, really slow.
And I haven't had to do anything like pull a separate trigger
to get that to happen.
Now whereas with this one, if I'm caulking something
and I just stop, you can see how much more is coming out
right now.
I'm not even doing anything and more is coming out.
And that's what this thing is for.
In order to get it to stop, you have to press this button.
With the silly gun, it takes all of the brain power out.
That's as much as has come out and we didn't have
to press any special buttons.
So check this out.
Still a full length tube of caulk at 11 inches.
But look how much shorter and you're still able to use this.
Now it gets even better.
So now what we can do if we need additional space,
you can take and just cut this excess off just like that.
And now we have the same exact caulk gun in a 9 inch platform.
Easily run around toilets and things of that nature.
You can also hook this easily with the hook that's on the back.
And it also has a strap here on the bottom so you can hang it
like this.
And just overall an awesome tool.
These are 30% off currently.
They're 28 bucks for one of these.
And you can replace any of the Chinti caulk guns that you
have or the more expensive ones.
I probably spent $30 on this one and it's really bulky.
And I much rather would have just got the silly gun
and this thing works awesome.
If you want us to DM you a link for this product,
just comment the word silly SILI in the comment section
and we'll DM you a link.
Happy DIYing guys.
I don't know what you heard about me
but a bitch can get
in the creek today.
I'm showing off the brand new emotion.
It runs off the same batteries as the drill and the impact.
So if you've already got those, you're set.
Red motor on top, transparent tube and that red auger inside
does all the heavy lifting.
Nugs baby.
Grab yours from Home Depot today and hit your local creek.
It'll pay itself off in no time.
It's only $1,500 with no battery or charger included.
YouTubers are doing more to prevent development
in the state of Florida than the bureaucrats are.
Danny Duncan bought 95 acres in Inglewood
to keep it from being developed
and now he's having a problem getting green belt
on his property because the tax collector is being,
what, difficult?
Very difficult.
His tax bill is high, right?
So it was $47,000 and they raised it to $57,000.
This year alone it went from $57,000 to $97,000
which I heard there's a 10% rule
which seems to be a little over that.
So you tried to save the land from development
and you ended up getting punished for it financially?
Yeah, I think if you're a developer you get rewarded.
If you're a saving land you get punished.
It's interesting.
Have you thought about changing your name to Pat Neal?
No, not yet.
I hear Pat Neal.
That's what Pat Neal wants.
Yeah, Pat Neal can do it every once in a while.
It's not a land developer
and you're not going to build on this property.
You just want to keep it.
I don't think people knew you had horses
and emus and donkeys and chickens.
Yeah, and this is my, like you said,
this is the hobby stuff.
We did do everything correctly.
You actually want to get into agriculture
but they're keeping you from getting into agriculture.
Whether you do it legitimately or not
it doesn't count in their eyes.
And you actually do have animals too
and they look like they wouldn't bite an honest man.
She bites.
I actually got her for free because she bites.
I'm running for ag commissioner in 2026.
We're going to be fixing our broken green belt walls.
Visit treadback.com to see how you can help us
save Florida.
I'm at the wilder.
He's Danny Duncan and we really miss undeveloped Florida.
All right, chief, you listen up.
The internet says you're not allowed to kill coyotes anymore.
Okay.
Sorry, bud.
You got to let those calves get born
and have coyotes run up and eat
their faces off as they're coming out
and your favorite barn cat.
Let her get gobbled right up too.
I'll take you downtown.
I'll show you in my person where you can go shopping.
How does that sound cheapy?
Yeah.
No more coyotes for you, big guy.
Talks about a data center here in Mason County
have been ongoing since last spring.
This is the home of Ida Huddleston.
She has been offered 60,000 an acre
for her land to make way for this project.
Her home sits on 71 acres.
And what they proposed and carried on with us
is not a business deal.
It's a mind harassment.
Offered millions on multiple occasions.
This is Ida's message.
I said, I don't want your money.
I don't need your money.
But I do feel sorry for everybody around us
that they're going to be affected by it.
Same goes for Ida's daughter, Delcia Bear,
who turned down a 48,000 an acre offer
for her 463 acre property.
Particularly frustrating for Bear
is the fact that the Fortune 100 company
behind the project has not been revealed.
And so when they will not reveal who they are,
that's a major player in what you're going to do
with the rest of your life if you're stuck here
or even if you're leaving here.
Don't start smoking cannabis
or you'll become one of those people.
Like me, you'll become a fiend
forever chasing the next high,
turning everything into an apparatus
to consume the devil's lettuce.
Every tool in your belt
becoming a utensil of your own destruction.
Your friends will stop asking how are you
and start asking, what is that?
As you proudly unveil your latest portable solution
made from a hammer or a luffa
and always pure self-delusion,
it's a gateway into the nether regions of your soul.
No matter how much you use, it's never enough.
Like a dog chases its tail
except the tail is made of smoke
and keeps vanishing into your lungs.
One hit, no.
You'll need two to balance the vibe
and three to unlock the flavor notes.
Then before you know it,
you're puffing out of an apple
like you're back in the sixth grade
because you just can't stop.
Your lighter will live in your hand
like a sixth finger.
A coffee mug?
That's a pipe.
Cutting board?
Luxury rig.
You'll look at a traffic cone
and think with a little duct tape.
Maybe you'll swear you're just chilling
but you're actually an addict
and tie-dye hunting the next cloud
like it's the meeting of life.
One day you'll blink
and realize your chill has a schedule,
a budget and a secret stash
hidden in a hollowed-out copy
of Lord of the Rings.
So yeah, don't start.
Unless of course you're into that kind
of creative, deeply committed,
slightly unhinged lifestyle.
Then by all means, pass the paintbrush.
I think all of that is a very good signal
that there is beginning to be a better understanding
both by the president and the people around him
as well as by the leaders of our European allies
that there can be a common ground amongst us.
And the kind of dismissiveness
that we saw in the first Trump administration
has been replaced by a much more obvious
working relationship to the good
of European security, transatlantic security
and hopefully Ukrainian security.
So I'm actually encouraged.
I'm gonna spin on him with that warly kick.
You know, the cyclone thing, the,
what do you call it?
Help me out, pal.
Tatsumaki Senpugyaku.
Yeah, that's it.
Potato salmon Senpugyama.
Close enough.
I'm gonna kick him like,
what's that?
The spinning foot helped me here.
Hyaku Retsukiaku.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm gonna do the hyaku, the hyaku, what you call,
I'm hitting with the hyaku Retsukiaku.
Catch up.
Close enough.
I'm gonna hit him with the spiral thing.
Boom.
You know, the sonic bloom.
Yeah.
That's it.
I'm gonna give him a sonic bloom.
Close enough.
I'm gonna burn him.
I'm gonna use my yoga,
what's the flame thing?
Help me out, man.
Yoga flame.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm gonna yuggy flame him.
Close enough.
Tucker is smart.
He knows exactly what he's doing.
But like so many in the commentary business,
the Klicks and the giggles
have contributed to a terminal case of brain rot.
True actual undeniable brain rot.
Wilfred, everything okay?
Oh yeah.
Just had to let it out.
It's just out of it like a battle cry.
Sometimes the word needs a little thunder behind it.
Keeps people awake.
All right.
Especially about their blood sugar.
All right.
I just wanted to be sure you weren't about...
Here's a fun fact.
Back in the 1950s,
the CIA genetically engineered
and created the tomato hormone.
The goal was to invade people's home gardens,
decimate their tomatoes,
and prevent people from growing food
on their own property.
I don't think so.
People.
Come on, Tina.
Get in here.
And since it's built like a mattress
in the shape of a chair,
and you can get two people in there,
well, Netflix and chill
just got upgraded in the living room.
Also, if you want to remember a push-up,
this is a great exercise right here.
So you can help yourself again.
This is just built like a mattress.
Let's...
This is the end.
Ship my pants.
Right here.
Ship my pants.
You're kidding.
You can ship your pants.
Right here.
You hear that?
I can ship my pants for free.
Wow.
I just may ship my pants.
Yeah.
Ship your pants.
Billy, you can ship your pants, too.
I can't wait to ship my pants, Dad.
I just ship my pants,
and it's very convenient.
Very convenient.
I just ship my drawers.
I just ship my nightie.
I just ship my pants.
If you can't find what you're looking for in store,

Hi.
And how are you?
I'm good.
And how are you?
Some weather we're having.
Still gay?
Yeah, it is.
Welcome to the United States of Israel,
where we sell our bodies to make a good living.
The public education system is cooked.
College degrees cost a lifetime of debt,
and even if you have one,
you'll still struggle to find work.
The blue collar route?
Well, not much better.
Meanwhile, Israel has free healthcare for all.
They're paid a government allowance per child.
Degrees are 10 times cheaper to attain,
and so much more.
Wow.
How did they become so progressive?
What we pay for, of course.
Yep, 300 billion US tax dollars
given directly to genocidal Zionists.
In fact, the only thing our politicians
can agree on both sides of the aisle
is to bend over and spread them
for Prime Minister Daddy Netanyahu.
Y'all know the price for high treason?
These APAC-funded shomos gotta go.
Ew, he's anti-Semitic.
Don't start.
We're not talking Jewish heritage.
We're talking psychopathic war criminals.
Ew, he's talking politics.
Put me on mute, then.
Keep your head down.
Eat your goyim's slop.
You're genetically modified, fast food
that's chemically castrating you.
Oh, good job not complaining.
Here's three Schmeckles for you.
Don't say anything about Gaza.
It's funny, I spend a lifetime with depression.
I get on TRT.
It's going like that.
Look at the studies.
Our hormones are being tampered with.
This GMO food, the medicine, the SSRIs,
it's poisoning us.
Why?
Well, because the nation of depressed
and downtrodden people poses no threat.
We'll brawl over for our masters.
Oh, I upset you.
I'm so sorry.
Here's the door.
You've already been told about strangers
dressing up in uniforms,
but there are other traps you need to know about.
Hi, I'm just playing with my daughter's video game.
The battery seems to be dead.
I have some in my car.
Why don't you come over and help me put them in?
In the summer of 2009,
the federal government launched Cash for Clunkers.
Turn in your old car,
get up to $4,500 toward a new fuel-efficient one,
help the environment,
boost the economy.
Everyone wins.
Real mechanics knew better.
What Cash for Clunkers actually did
was execute a calculated,
government-mandated destruction
of the most reliable analog vehicles ever built in America.
Nearly 700,000 running cars and trucks
were deliberately killed,
not parted out,
not donated,
destroyed on purpose,
by law,
before they were crushed.
And the used car market that working Americans
had depended on for generations
was never the same again.
This is the forensic audit of how they did it,
what they killed,
what replaced it,
and what you need to know
before the next phase of this trap
locks into place in 2026.
Number one,
the liquid-glass execution.
To qualify for the rebate,
dealerships were legally required
to destroy the engine of every trade-in
before it left the lot.
They could not resell it.
They could not part it out.
They had to kill it.
The method was sodium-silicate solution,
liquid-glass.
Mechanics drained the engine oil
from each qualifying vehicle
and replaced it with sodium-silicate.
Then they started the engine and let it run.
The sodium-silicate
heated and crystallized inside the block.
Metal surfaces that were
supposed to glide began grinding.
Within minutes, the pistons seized.
The crankshaft stopped.
The engine welded itself
into a useless mass of metal
that would never turn again.
Footage from dealerships that summer
shows mechanics standing over hoods,
watching engines smoke
and knock and die.
Some of them looked like they were attending a funeral.
In a sense, they were.
Number two,
eradicating the forever engines.
The trade-ins that rolled into dealerships
that summer were not junk.
They included some of the most indestructible
engines American manufacturing ever produced.
The Jeep 4.0-liter inline six-cylinder,
a cast-iron block with a simple design,
engineered so far beyond its tolerances
that Cherokee owners routinely drove
past 300,000 miles and kept going.
Parts were everywhere.
A teenager with basic mechanical knowledge
could rebuild one on a weekend.
The GM3800V6
installed in Buick's and Pontiac's
through the 1990s and into the 2000s.
Consumer reports called it
one of the most reliable engines ever produced.
Owners talked about these engines
the way old ranchers talked about
a good working horse.
They just did not quit.
Both of them shared one thing
the auto industry in 2009
desperately needed to eliminate.
They were repairable by ordinary people.
No proprietary software.
No dealer visit required.
Parts at any auto parts store.
You cannot sell a working-class family
a new $40,000 SUV on a seven-year loan
if their 1998 Jeep Cherokee refuses to die.
The forever engines had to go,
so they went.
Number three, the computer on wheels trap.
Once the analog cars were crushed,
the replacement vehicles waiting
at those same dealerships were built
on a completely different philosophy.
Starting around 2010,
the industry began replacing mechanical controls
with software interfaces.
The tactile knobs and dials
that let you adjust your climate control
and radio without looking away from the road
began disappearing.
In their place came touchscreen displays
running proprietary software.
A 2002 Silverado
with a broken blower motor
is a $30 part and an afternoon.
A 2019 Ram 1500
with a failed UConnect screen
is a dealer visit,
a proprietary replacement unit,
a software flash.
Tell me a sound that's better than this.
Cocaine has a...
He's got a baggie! It's an eight-ball!
He's got an eight-ball!
Hey, Cocaine, go suck a classic!
Cocaine is fired up better!
Cokes are to the get-some-hell!
Cocaine...
Now, son, what you millennials
and Gen Zers don't seem to understand
is that if you just ate food at home,
you wouldn't be in debt.
It's not rocket science.
No, Dave, you don't understand.
I'm already working 60 hours a week
just to put food on the table for my family.
Well, there you go.
There's 168 hours in a week, Buttercup.
Sounds like you have a little bit of time left over.
Sure, whatever.
But my point is, Dave, that boomers like yourself
don't understand that groceries are getting more expensive,
not to mention healthcare and childcare.
Listen here, buddy, groceries have never been expensive.
All right? All you guys do is complain.
Oh, Dave, my grocery bill.
Oh, Dave, my medical bills, my childcare bills.
I remember when the only bills we used to talk about
were Clinton and Murray.
All right, you're a lazy pal.
It's just that simple because if you have a job
and you work hard, just like I did in 1978,
you're going to be just fine.
Believe it or not, Dave, I'm already working hard
for my family and we're still struggling.
Do you have any actual advice?
I do. I do. Here's my actual advice.
Buddy, pull yourself up by your bootstraps
and make sure you've got $1,000 in your savings account.
Holy balls, Dave.
If our family had an extra $1,000 lying around,
we wouldn't be struggling to...
Goodness gracious. Talk about a guy
that's just disconnected from reality.
Are you kidding me?
Buddy needs to quit drinking his Starbucks
and getting his avocado toast.
Otherwise, he's going to be in some real trouble.
Unbelievable.
Wait.
So you're telling me in the future
people just stare at a little box all day
inside and outside?
And in the future, you don't even own the music.
You just pay every month to borrow it?
Like, if you stop paying, the music just disappears?
Wait, so before people eat,
they take a picture of the food
and show strangers?
And the strangers like and comment on it?
So in the future, everyone has their own phone
and they use it to type messages instead of call?
And if someone calls you without typing it first,
it's considered rude?
So you're telling me in the future
people just post their diary for everyone to see?
Some people get paid for it.
For their diary?
And in the future, a little box just tells you
where to go, turn by turn,
and people still get lost?
If you want food from a restaurant,
you just tap the box and a stranger brings it to your door
and you pay extra for that?
And then you rate the stranger?
Our moms always say don't talk to strangers.
But in the future, everyone just talks to strangers
all day on the little box and shows them their house.
And their kids?
So in the future, nobody ever just sits with the quiet?
Like ever?
That sounds really exhausting.
In the future?
Everyone's connected to everything
and people are still lonely?
Okay, but do we at least still stay outside
until the street lights come on?
I'm not right, I'm not left, I'm not Republican,
I'm not Democrat, I'm not Libertarian.
I'm a human fucking being
and I want what's best for the other human beings.
And I want some common sense.
And I want to be left alone and I want to pay low taxes.
And I want to be able to build and prosper.
And I want all the things that were promised to me
in the constitution of this country.
And until we all stop identifying
with left or right or Republican or Democrat
or gay, straight or black or white, all the shit,
until we figure that out,
we're going to continue to be abused
by all these people that have power.
Cheers.
Oh, fear of the Lord!
That's classic!
Right around when you go down,
when you go down to heaven.
I've got the house with my tiger hoppin'
that would blow, I got places.

Get off my nerves.
Let's jump right into this first clip
from Dave DeCamp of antiwarnews.com.
Hey, this is Dave DeCamp from antiwar.com
and welcome to antiwar news.
It's about 9.30 on Wednesday night
here in the beautiful state of Virginia
where it was about 87 degrees today,
so pretty hot.
But anyway, we have a lot of stuff to get through,
as always, and I know I keep saying it,
but just can't believe that we're actually
living through this war, that they actually did it.
And the first story at the top of antiwar.com today
is something we already know, but more evidence.
Pentagon probe finds the U.S. is responsible
for bombing Iran elementary school.
So the U.S. is responsible for bombing
an elementary school in Minab, southern Iran
during the opening hours of the U.S.-Israeli war
against Iran on February 28th,
a strike that massacred 175 people.
The vast majority being young school girls
and school boys, and this is according
to a preliminary U.S. military investigation.
People briefed on the investigation told
the New York Times that it appeared that U.S.
Central Command had created target coordinates
for the strike using outdated information
from the Defense Intelligence Agency.
And you see this picture here.
This is the overhead shot of the graves being dug
for all these children who were massacred.
And I think in the years ahead,
this is going to be a defining picture of this war.
So the school building was previously part
of a nearby Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base,
but was separated and turned into a school sometime
between 2013 and 2016,
meaning that the U.S. military may have used information
that was over a decade old.
The U.S. military has been using artificial intelligence
to help with targeting.
But according to this report and this investigation,
it appeared that the strike on the school
was the result of a human error.
The Times said that it reviewed satellite imagery
showing that watchtowers that once stood
near the building had been removed.
Three public entrances were opened to the school.
Ground was cleared.
Play areas, including a sports field, were painted
on asphalt and walls were painted blue and pink.
So essentially it looked like a school from overhead.
And Middle East Eye reported that the school
was hit by two separate strikes.
And so a double tap type attack here.
And that essentially what happened was the school was bombed
and then the teachers got most of the kids together
or all of the kids together and brought them
to a prayer hall in the school.
And then another missile struck and killed just about
all of the survivors of the initial strike.
So they were all huddled together when this happened.
So anyway, this is what an Iranian red crescent
medic told Middle East Eye, quote,
when the first bomb hit the school,
one of the teachers in the principal moved a group
of students to the prayer hall to protect them.
The principal called the parents and told them
to come and pick up their children.
But the second bomb hit that area as well.
And only a small number of those who had taken
shelter survived end quote.
So the parents were on their way to go pick up
their kids when the second missile struck.
I mean, these are horrors that are hard to even fathom.
And I can't think of any one single massacre
that was this bad, you know,
committed by the U.S. military in this, you know,
in recent decades.
So far there's been no confirmation or acknowledgement
from U.S. officials that the school was struck twice,
but there's been other reports from people on the ground
that said, yes, you know, it was bombed once
and then bombed again.
And it's been clear since the day of
or the day after the bombing that this was
most likely a U.S. military strike.
And then there was footage that came out of a Tomahawk missile
hitting the IRGC base nearby,
showing that Tomahawk missiles were used in the attack.
There was debris of a Tomahawk missile found at the scene.
Yet President Trump is trying to claim, you know,
just a couple of days ago that it was Iran somehow.
He even said, I think I mentioned this,
but that Iran has Tomahawk missiles,
which is completely nonsensical.
And then he was asked on Wednesday
about the New York Times report,
and he said he didn't know, he claimed he didn't know.
He was asked, are you going to take responsibility
for this as the commander in chief?
And he said, oh, I don't know about that.
Basically, I haven't heard that.
And Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of War,
who, by the way, would not back up Trump's claim
that this was, that Iran bombed the school.
You know, whenever he's asked about it,
he says, oh, we're investigating.
He can't even say, like, what a tragedy.
How horrible that this is, and we're going to look into it.
No, he can't even say that.
But what does he say?
What is he constantly saying in these press briefings
that he's doing?
That they're not using stupid rules of engagement.
It's not a politically correct war
that they're operating and hitting Iran without mercy.
And the result here is a massacre of little school kids.
And I mean, there must be consequences for this.
Somebody, like, obviously, you know,
we know there's not going to be any kind of real justice for this.
But I mean, are they even going to do something symbolically?
I wouldn't put it past this administration
to just do nothing about this.
Not even apologize.
So the next one here, Iranian drone attack was worse
than the U.S. military revealed.
So more covering up from the Pentagon,
from Hegseth's Pentagon.
So CBS News reported on Wednesday
that an Iranian drone attack that hit a makeshift
U.S. military operations center at a port in Kuwait on March 1
and killed at least six U.S. troops
was much worse than the Pentagon had revealed.
Sources told CBS that dozens of U.S. service members
suffered injuries, including brain trauma,
shrapnel wounds, burns,
and at least one soldier made it an amputation.
As of Tuesday night, more than 30 U.S. troops
are still hospitalized from the attack,
including 12 at Walter Reed Medical Center
in the suburbs of D.C.
and about 25 at a medical center in Germany.
The Pentagon has not disclosed all the injuries
and they only admitted that at least 140 U.S. soldiers
have been injured after that Reuters report.
They have not been coming out with this information.
They want to hide it.
They don't want the public to freak out too much
about this large number of American casualties.
And so far, they've confirmed the death of eight U.S. soldiers
including seven who they say were killed by Iranian attacks
and one who they say died of an unspecified medical emergency
in Kuwait.
All right, so the next one here, the Department of War
is using Palantir AI to pick targets in Iran.
So this one's from Kyle Anzalon from the Libertarian Institute.
So the Pentagon is using an artificial intelligence system
developed by Palantir to select targets in Iran.
Some members of Congress are considering legislation
to place restrictions and safeguards
on the Department of War's use of AI.
Two congressional sources speaking with NBC News
confirmed the use of this Palantir targeting.
And Representative Sarah Jacobs said,
quote, AI tools are not 100% reliable.
They can fail in subtle ways
and yet operators continue to over-trust them.
We have a responsibility to enforce strict guardrails
on the military's use of AI
and guarantee a human is in the loop
in every decision to use lethal force
because the cost of getting it wrong
could be devastating for civilians
and the service members carrying out these missions and quote.
And of course, this is one thing about Israel's AI system.
According to those reports from 972 magazine,
it had a pretty significant error rate.
I mean, even though they're using their AI system
to intentionally target lower level Hamas guys
when they were home with their families.
And but even on top of that,
there was errors in cases of killing people
and massacring whole families of people
who didn't have ties to Hamas.
So in the U.S. is using these same types
of targeting tools in Iran.
All right, so the next one here,
I just posted the Al Jazeera Live updates
on the Iran war just because so much is happening here
and it's hard for us to keep track of all of it.
So, you know, I mean, it's just such a mess.
Rockets, drones, missiles just flying across the region.
The first update that they have here is that Saudi Arabia
intercepts a drone heading toward an oil field.
Another tanker was hit near Iraq
and a video shows a tanker on fire.
Let's see, drone sparks minor fire
at Dubai residential building.
Extremely heavy airstrikes are hitting Beirut's
southern suburbs.
Let's see, one killed in an attack on oil tankers
at Iraqi port.
Iraq says Iranian boats are behind the attack
on oil tankers, four killed as Israel attacks
continue in southern Lebanon.
So the region is just on fire
and it's just out of control.
The next one here, Iran is exporting more oil
than before the war.
So Iran has been exporting more oil
through the Strait of Hormuz over the past week
than it was before the US and Israel launched the war
against the Islamic Republic on February 28th.
The Wall Street Journal has reported.
The report cited data from Kepler,
which is a tanker tracking firm
which found that since February 28th,
seven tankers have been loaded off the coast of Iran
and at least two have already left the Persian Gulf.
Kepler's data shows that over the past six days,
tankers have been loaded
an average of 2.1 million barrels of Iranian oil per day
higher than the 2 million barrels a day
that Iran exported in February.
So as a result of Iran now
basically taking control of the Strait of Hormuz,
they're able to actually export more oil.
And the report comes as Trump has been issuing
all these threats about the Strait of Hormuz
and the IRGC is maintaining that it is closed
and the only ships that can go through
are ships that have permission.
You could see this fire here.
This was a Thai, a ship from Thailand
that was hit earlier in the day in the Strait of Hormuz.
The crew was evacuated from the ship.
They abandoned ship.
And so Iran very much has control of what's going in and out of here
and they're saying Chinese and Russian ships can go through.
China is the main buyer of Iranian oil
and so these two ships that went through the Strait of Hormuz
I believe they are heading toward China
but it really goes to show here
the US is not able to kind of reassert control
over this area, not reassert
or try to take control over this area.
Trump suggested a few days ago
that the US Navy could escort tankers
but there's reporting from Reuters that the US
has informed the shipping industry
that actually no, we can't at this time.
And I believe that's because
if a US Navy ship is going to go through the Strait of Hormuz
that's right there, right on the Iranian coast
they don't need any kind of advanced long range missiles
they can use their shorter range missiles
and rockets and drones to try to hit
a US Navy ship that goes through there.
And of course US Navy ships, especially destroyers
have very advanced air defense systems
but I'm sure they could be overwhelmed
if enough was launched at them.
So the next one here, the US and Middle East allies
fire 1,000 Patriot PAC-3 interceptors.
So the US and its Middle East allies
have already fired more than 1,000 PAC-3 interceptors
using the US made Patriot air defense system
since the US and Israel launched the war with Iran
on February 28th according to a report from Bloomberg.
So Lockheed Martin currently produces PAC-3 interceptors
at a rate of about 600 per year.
So that means that the US and its allies
have already fired nearly two years worth of production.
And Lockheed has said that it will work to produce
2,000 of these interceptors per year
but it's gonna take years to reach that production level.
And these interceptors cost between
three and four million dollars a piece.
So that means that just the cost of these interceptors
could be as high as four billion
potentially likely even higher than that at this point.
And we've also seen that the US is using
a bunch of the THAAD missiles
and they're bringing stuff in from Asia, from South Korea.
So there have been some real issues
when it comes to the stockpiles of the advanced interceptors
and things like that.
Next, we look at this clip from Whitney Webb and Richard Grove.
Today's special guest is the creator of many,
many empowering and insightful articles
published at UnlimitedHangout.com
including the January 23rd, 2020 article on DARPA
that I found so prescient back then.
More recently, she's world renowned for her epic
two volume series, One Nation Under Black Male
which is becoming more transparent to the world every day.
Her latest article is First Friends,
How Italy's Donald Trump Introduced Naomi Campbell
to Jeffrey Epstein.
I'm very pleased and excited to welcome back
to Grand Theft World Podcast, Whitney Webb.
Whitney, how you doing?
Hey, I'm doing great. Thanks for having me.
I'm very happy to be back.
Yeah, thanks for making time in your schedule.
I have had to watch you with Sabi Sabs recently
to get a taste of what's going on out there.
She's, you know, she's very savvy, that's Sabi.
All right, so my first question for you,
it's not going to be a curveball.
It's more of a softball, okay?
When I teach people marketing and entrepreneurism,
I'm just curious, when did you decide
to hire Ian Carroll as your director of marketing?
Yeah, okay, so I don't even know what to say to that.
Okay, so I didn't hire Ian at all,
and I haven't really had any contact with him ever,
but I do appreciate that he has enjoyed my book thoroughly,
but I do not agree with some of the conclusions
he's had from it.
So I would say, for example,
that I would disagree with the conclusion
that my book says only Epstein was Mossad.
So I argue in the book that Epstein
was Israeli military intelligence,
which is an important distinction
because Israel can come out and say,
we deny 100% that Epstein was Mossad,
but if you, you need to get the right agency
because then it's not as easy for them, right?
You know, I just, you have to anticipate smears
and attacks like that
when you're dealing with this kind of information.
But beyond that, I also argue
for a U.S. intelligence tie,
which, you know, saying Epstein was Mossad
kind of glosses over that.
But more importantly, I would argue
that either of those things,
is the fact that my book really argues,
and this is why Volume 1 even exists,
that what we're dealing with here
is not really even state agencies.
It's the power structure above them.
It's a transnational oligarchy
that represents the union between the people
that created the intelligence agencies,
mostly bankers, right, and Wall Street lawyers,
with organized crime
and how that continues to manifest
and inform the oligarchy of today
and our reality and our power structures.
And so ultimately, the book is very anti-duopoly.
I go after both parties,
and, you know, unfortunately,
my feeling is that Ian promoted my work,
which, you know, obviously it's nice
when people promote your work,
but I kind of felt like he was sheepherding people
in a way towards Trump,
which I don't think my book really supports,
considering that it talks a lot about Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn.
And, you know, there's plenty in the book
that isn't favorable for Trump,
and I learned, of course, after the book was published,
some more stuff about Trump that I helped to put
in an upcoming second edition of One Nation Under Blackmail,
like that he became the controlling shareholder
of Resorts International,
which is formerly Mary Carter Paint Company,
you know, very notorious mob-length CIA-linked company.
And that's the same year he took over
or he bought Adnan Khashoggi's yacht,
which I know in the book had been used
for blackmail purposes by Khashoggi,
who, of course, in that time also had ties to Epstein,
that Roy Cohn, Trump's mentor,
basically ran, you know, not ran,
but was intimately involved with, you know,
sexual blackmail activities at the Plaza Hotel,
which after Cohn dies, Trump also buys,
and there's allegations of similar-ish things,
though slightly different,
happening at the Plaza Hotel in that period.
And, of course, you know,
Trump is hanging out, as noted in the book,
on Robert Maxwell's yacht in the late 1980s or so,
around a host of other figures who were controversial.
I liked Senator John Tower,
who was an accomplice to Robert Maxwell
and the Promise Software scandal.
Steve Ross, who created what is now, I guess,
Time Warner, out of an organized crime-linked, you know,
front company that was operating some sort of garage,
I believe, that he took over.
And I forget who else is in the picture.
Oh, Mike Wallace, Chris Wallace's father,
the well-known journalist of that era,
you know, all in the same picture.
And, of course, a few years after that,
Trump is bailed out by the Ross Child Banking Interest.
You know, Wilbur Ross was assisting that.
And, you know, Robert Maxwell's own entry into the U.S.,
New York City in particular,
was prompted by his affiliation with the Ross Child Bank
that was opened in the 1980s on Wall Street
that was aiming to do mergers and acquisitions.
And they picked three people.
I forget the third guy, but he was a friend of Maxwell's.
But the two other guys were Jimmy Goldsmith,
a famous corporate raider of the era
and who's related to the Ross Childs.
And then Robert Maxwell, and, of course, Maxwell.
And Goldsmith, as I know it in the book,
have, you know, we're in the same social circles
going back to this entity called the Claremant Club,
which was linked to British intelligence and organized crime
and also sex blackmail activities
and included some of these figures that are not,
I don't think Maxwell's portrayed in it,
but I know Goldsmith and some of these other people
like Tiny Rowland are in Adam Curtis' books,
are a documentary series, The Mayfair Set,
which is recommended viewing
if you'd like to know that these people are, rather,
worthy of scrutiny.
And it's worth pointing out, too, that, you know,
involving Epstein overlap.
The earliest interaction with Epstein in this network
I could find, and as I know in the book, too,
was in the early 1970s
where Epstein was inexplicably appearing
at Jimmy Goldsmith's mansion
when he wasn't even hired by the Dalton School yet.
He was still a college dropout.
Was that before or after your first volume documents
that he met with the Queen of England?
No, it wasn't the Queen of England.
He got involved with the royal violinist, Jacqueline de Pré,
and allegedly had connections with the royal family through her,
but we don't know which members necessarily.
But he somehow got very close
and allegedly accompanied her on piano for performances.
That's alleged.
Well, he has an interesting music.
But you're part about Jimmy Goldsmith.
That's also Adam Curtis' documentary.
It might also be the Mayfair set
where they talk about him pretty prolifically.
So if anyone's not aware of those characters,
they are quintessential
because Epstein did not act alone in any of this stuff.
Yeah, but this is after his trip to England
when he was a college dropout
backpacking through Europe
and somehow ends up musically accompanying
some very well-connected musician
who de Pré, by the way, ended up marrying some Israeli,
I forget, but he was friends.
He was an Israeli, I think, musician.
Might have been a dancer.
I can't remember because it's been a few years.
But that's apparently how Itzhak Perlman,
the famous musician,
got connected with Epstein, was through that relationship.
And then Epstein, when he had his cabin
at the Interlochen camp,
was basically, supposedly had built that cabin
for Itzhak Perlman's use.
And now Itzhak Perlman's son is like running a major,
he's like a top executive at a major crypto exchange.
I think it's Binance.
And was previously at Jim and I
and is doing, you know, strange,
not strange things, but working for companies
that I think are rather suspect personally.
Fun stuff.
All right, so I got a good memory.
Let's go from the top.
The Ian Carroll piece,
I'm sure Carol Quigley wouldn't agree with everything
I say about his book, right?
So I was just joking that he was your marketing director.
It's just that he got out there
and got in front of so many people.
And Epstein became the topic.
And then he's using your book as reference.
And I was like, did he even read the book?
When did he read the book?
Where'd he come from?
And he's an interesting character.
So would you be up here like meeting him
or talking with him
or doing an interview with him in the future?
Or, you know, either way he asked you,
you ask him, find out.
I mean, I don't know.
I'd have to think about it.
I mean, I have a really big interview,
a backlog.
That is true.
Yeah, it's true.
I've been kind of out of the spotlight for a while.
I mean, I appreciate that he promoted it.
And I don't want to cast shade on anybody.
Yeah, you got mentioned in Joe Rogan.
Right?
Yeah.
Your name was said on the show.
I just, you know,
I really hope what people take away from my work
is pointing out that it's a transnational oligarchy
at the end of the day.
It's, you know, who do the state actors really work for?
You know, at the end of the day,
like if Epstein was Israeli affiliated,
what does that mean?
Who's controlling the state of Israel?
Well, and your point was
who's controlling the United States?
Amin, which is military intelligence
is the directorate for Israel,
for military intelligence.
So Ari Ben-Manash and some other people,
look, I have Epstein under that.
I don't have Munder Mossad.
So I think I would concur with you on that
because I've never seen, like,
he could be an asset adjacently.
But like, that's a big setup.
That house, that Wexner,
like I think Wexner was a front also.
And that's why he passes it over.
He's like, dude, I'm retiring.
I'm going to sit back and be off the hook.
You're on the hook now.
And then, you know,
likely Epstein got his,
like, I think he blackmailed Donald Barr to get his start,
got a position at the Dalton School,
Barr leaves.
He goes and finds Ace Greenberg's kid,
finds some stuff about that guy.
All of a sudden, he's a guy on the Bear Stearns
board of directors.
He's like untouchable.
So like...
Well, it's hard to know.
Maybe it increased.
It's hard to know why and how it happened.
But definitely it's not a normal trajectory.
I think it's also possible too that Epstein was known
to have been really talented in math and also music,
why he was a teen in high school,
or that's how he got a full scholarship to attend
the interlock in school when he was a teenager,
for example.
And it's very possible.
So Donald Barr was also running in New York
at the time that Epstein was in high school,
one of these talented teen programs where they kind of
identify people who are talented
and sort of pluck them out of high school
and put them in, you know,
special programs or whatever.
And in other parts of the world,
like Israel, for example,
they have the Taupeot program where they pick kids
out of high school that are talented in math and science
to put them on a fast track to high up positions
and unit 8200 and things like that.
So, you know, it's very possible
that something like that happened there,
considering that Donald Barr historically had ties
to intelligence through his service in the OSS.
And at the time he hired Epstein at the Dalton School,
his son, William Barr, who we can talk about again later
for obvious reasons,
was working for the CIA and was involved then
in stonewalling the church committee of Congress
about, you know, the information they were looking for
from the CIA.
He was part of that effort to prevent the release
of more information than absolutely necessary
from the CIA to Congress, right?
So, there's possible that there was something else there
and that he was helped along that way
and through connections.
You know, Ace Greenberg, it was a kind of, you know,
shady guy in some ways and of themselves.
A lot of these figures that I talk about in the book
connected to Epstein, for example,
are part of secret societies like Ben Eye Breath,
which is basically the Jewish equivalent of Freemasonry.
So, do they have, you know, these little clubs
and their, you know, back room handshakes
and I'm gonna hire you for this and that, you know,
I mean, that kind of stuff is known to have happened
in U.S. history on more than one occasion, right?
So, it's possible that Epstein's rise was related
to that because also Greenberg,
after Epstein was at Bear Stearns,
kind of took him under his wing
and helped him climb up through the bank very quickly
and, you know, he left in 1980,
but before then he was advising the most elite clients
of Bear Stearns on tax evasion type stuff
and the reason he was let go is allegedly
because he was being questioned
as part of this SEC investigation
into insider trading involving the Bromfman family.
So, if Epstein were to have,
the SEC was tipped off that Epstein knew something about it.
Bromfman very well could have been a client
of Bear Stearns at that time.
But what's interesting too is that
the legal counsel for Bear Stearns
right around the time all of this was happening
was actually Bill Casey, who just, like,
a month or two later becomes CIA director for Reagan.
So...
Didn't he die in a canoe accident?
No, that was William Colby.
Colby. I always get to make sure.
No, Bill Casey died, I forget of what,
but it was after...
right after or while the Iran-Contra hearings were going on.
Fascinating.
Now, when you were talking about OSS creating companies,
OSS and CIA also created AIG,
which is a different Greenberg.
That's Hank Greenberg. No relation to Ace Greenberg
is so far as I can tell,
but that's also all Anglo-American
and Israeli establishment as well.
Yeah, and Hank Greenberg is a longtime top funder
of the CFR, right?
And Epstein was also a major funder for a time of the CFR,
and even after he was arrested in 1708,
they continued to take his money
for a few years after that.
And, you know, as Hillary Clinton herself said,
the CFR is the mothership, right?
Glad they have an outlet now in D.C.
so they don't have to go to New York
to get their marching orders, I think,
was arrested that close.
All right, so Epstein-Bronfman.
Bronfman is Yiddish for liquor man.
Bronfman threw out your book
because it's a gangster cartel type thing.
It's international and, you know,
it's like a corporate front for the Jewish mafia traditionally,
because your book, Volume 1 starts in like 1942
with Operation Underworld,
and this was going on prior to that
because of prohibition and Canadian smuggling into America.
Can you go into the history of Bronfman and Epstein?
Why would they be connected?
Yeah, so, you know, my thesis about Epstein in general
is that he was working obviously most overtly
for Leslie Wexner, but Leslie Wexner himself
is a meshed with this group
that becomes rather tight-knit later
of, you know, oligarchs, really, these billionaires
that all happen to have organized crime connections
and are very interested in ethno philanthropy, I guess.
Are you speaking of the mega group?
Yeah, sure. Yeah, which Bronfman cof-
well, Charles Bronfman, not Edgar Bronfman,
but they obviously work closely together
since their brothers co-founded that with Leslie Wexner in 1991,
but it wasn't reported on until the Wall Street Journal covered it,
I think in 1998 or 1997 or something.
So it was before Robert Maxwell's death,
but his code name was mega,
and then he dies in between those two points
that you just talked about, doesn't he?
Falls off his boat?
He dies in 1991, but I'm not sure
because we don't know the month the mega group was created,
but it was created sometime in 1991,
so it's hard to know the exact overlap.
But there was a spy scandal in D.C.
and the code name, it was a wiretap or something,
I believe, of the Israeli embassy,
and they were talking about getting information
from someone whose code name was mega,
and so they were trying to look for a mole in the government,
and they didn't find one,
and then their source, I think it was the Washington Post
or some mainstream media outlet that was reporting on it,
and the Israeli, they interviewed to explain away.
The scandal was Rafi Aitin,
who had actually been Robert Maxwell's handler,
and also Jonathan Pollard's handler for Israeli intelligence,
but he was running a now defunct Israeli intelligence agency
called Likim that was mainly focused on science
and technology espionage,
and I forget exactly when it was shut down,
but basically he was the one kind of trying to explain it away,
and it's very interesting you would roll out
such a controversial figure to be the person to explain it away,
and I think if you look at Rafi Aitin's career
of espionage against the United States alone,
you can't really take his claims at face value at all.
So the possibility,
and I think it was first raised by Israel Shamir
writing for executive intelligence review in like 2002
that the mega group and mega were linked somehow,
and positing that mega was a co-word for these billionaires,
which is possible considering that they have these links
to organized crime that specifically this syndicate
that teamed up with US intelligence
and how a lot of them have bankrolled prominent politicians.
So as an example,
the Crown family were members of the mega group
with Wexner and the Bromfmans,
and the Crowns are also linked to organized crime,
but they're out of Chicago,
and they built up, for example,
it is now General Dynamics, the military contractor,
but also along with Wexner banking interests,
created the modern-day J.P. Morgan
and put Jamie Diamond in charge of it.
Of course, J.P. Morgan later gets involved
in facilitating Epstein banking criminality,
but the Crowns were also one of the forces
that led to Barack Obama's early political career.
It's fascinating the origins of that man's career.
Well, he got called treasonous this week.
That's new for him.
Well, I think that's only really coming out
to distract from how they're not releasing the Epstein files.
Oh, you noticed that, too?
Oh, yes. I did.
And how now Galene Maxwell,
who doesn't want to die like her father,
or like Epstein,
or like Jean-Luc Brunel as being a question by the DOJ
and may testify and say certain things.
But just the Pam Bondi,
who allegedly has like a consulting relationship
with Susie Wiles and Susie Wiles
allegedly had some sort of like running Netanyahu's campaign.
I mean, these are things I heard from Tim Dillon.
So I can't take them seriously because he's a comedian.
So I don't know about any of that.
But this is a comedy show sometimes, too.
Well, I'm not familiar with those allegations necessarily,
but I think if you're Galene Maxwell
and a lot of people around you have been killed off
and you're in prison,
I mean, I think she'll do anything to negotiate her release
or a reduced sentence and say anything to further that
and also not die.
So we'll see what she says.
But if I have to pick anything that I think she may say,
if it's not something made up, which is possible,
but if she tells the truth about something,
she'll just be asked ad nauseam about the Clintons
and Bill Gates and people like that,
but not about anything that could be damaging
for the modern day Republican Party, right?
And as my work tries to make very clear,
the rot is definitely 100% bipartisan.
But the big giveaway here, because I saw a headline
about how Hillary and Bill Clinton are going to be subpoena
about the relationship with Galene Maxwell now
as they're trying to distract away about how they're not
going to release the files,
which obviously have something bad for both parties
in them, otherwise we would probably have them.
But the big giveaway here about that,
if the Clintons are subpoenaed and forced to testify
or whatever, or if Galene has asked about them,
is that Republicans are not going to touch
one very important aspect of the Epstein-Clinton
relationship with a 10-foot pole,
and that is Jeffrey Epstein's 17 visits
to the Clinton White House between 1993 and 1995.
They will not touch that.
And there is a reason why mainstream media has worked
so hard to have all the scandalous coverage of Epstein
and Clinton be after Clinton left office.
No focus on before when he was in office.
And the same is true also, I've argued in the past
about Bill Gates because they won't talk about
his relationship with Epstein until he was no longer
involved as chairman of Microsoft.
So they want the pressure off of Microsoft.
They want the pressure off of what was Epstein doing
at the Clinton White House because it's really,
I would argue ultimately boils down to what I see
as sort of the second coming of Iran-Contra
in the mid-90s, same network,
involved with this very crazy effort
that's remembered as China Gate today,
but it really has a lot to do with
U.S. and Israeli intelligence,
who of course were the bedfellows of Iran-Contra,
and some of the connections they made
to major Chinese weapons dealers
and organized crime-like figures in Macau,
and weird things there that involved
a lot of military technology transfer
from the U.S. to China.
Israel very involved in this,
and it was even the CIA acknowledged that
in the early 90s, but nothing was done
to really stop anything.
And they don't really want to talk about that at all.
Even though it involves China, it involves Clinton.
You think it would be the perfect story for Trump,
but nope, they won't touch it.
And I write a lot about it very extensively
in my book, China Gate, if you'd like more detail
on why that would be so bad for both parties.
Next is this clip from the Indie News Network.
I'm just curious to hear what people are thinking out there.
If you want to hear this,
let me read this article about what's going on at Zoro Ranch.
And it was written about two weeks ago by DeSent and Bloom.
I'll show you it here.
I showed it during last week's show
when I read the other story about Great St. James.
And it just got so late
because we were reading the article,
we read the article from the U.S. citizen
that gave his account of what had happened
from the time that he was taken into custody
until he was released,
that we didn't get to this.
But I'll go through this,
because again, I think that there is quite a bit
that people may have missed.
I also haven't gone through all of it,
so I'd like to see it for myself.
But DeSent starts by saying,
New Mexico wants answers about Zoro Ranch,
but here's what they'll find.
She went through the flight logs,
phone records, victim journals
which expose how Epstein built
a human trafficking operation
on 10,000 acres of New Mexico desert.
So she starts by telling this story.
She's great at painting visuals like this.
The year is 1993.
Jeffrey Epstein writes a check for $12.5 million
and Bruce King, former governor of New Mexico,
hands over the keys to Zoro Ranch.
What changed hands isn't just real estate,
but 10,000 acres.
That is 15 square miles of isolation
along with six underground floors.
It's located 30 miles from Santa Fe,
50 miles from Los Alamos National Laboratory
and 20 miles from the Santa Fe Institute
and yet much further than that
from anyone paying attention.
Epstein launched his human trafficking operation here,
sustaining it through connections
with powerful figures.
And yet, the FBI has never conducted
a formal investigation of this place.
Not even when they were given a tip
about buried bodies on the property.
In fact, the federal government
actively prevented the state of New Mexico
from investigating, claiming it could jeopardize
an ongoing federal investigation
and compromise potential charges.
Yes, that's former attorney general Bill Barr.
Could it be because Bill Barr,
the head of the DOJ at the time,
was implicated in the files
as being a witness to the abuse?
Maybe.
This wouldn't be the first time that someone
in high places protected Epstein,
lest we forget that Alex Acosta
is the reason that Epstein was able
to get away with this for so long.
Acosta was the prosecutor responsible
for a 2008 deal
that let Epstein avoid a potential life
sentence in exchange for a short
stent in a county jail.
That same Alex Acosta,
who later became the labor secretary
during the administration of Trump
in the first time,
told officials during his transition interviews
for the Trump admin
that he point blank told them
to leave the Epstein stuff alone
because, quote, he belonged to intelligence,
both national and foreign,
and was, quote, above his pay grade.
As of today,
six years and six months
and 11 days have passed since Jeffrey Epstein died
and it was only
after the latest Epstein file surfaced
this year did pressure
build enough for the New Mexico Attorney General's Office
to act again.
In that time
this ranch has changed hands
now owned by the family of
Maga Republican Don Huffins
who was running for Congress.
His team construction,
his team says construction
of a Christian retreat
has begun bringing
excavation, demolition,
and the destruction
of whatever was left behind.
And yes, this is more significant
than some people may realize.
The ranch was the epicenter of Epstein's operations.
Far more than people realize.
Little Saint James was the headline
but this was the foundation.
The island became the thing people argue over.
The ranch, where the architecture of it all took shape
stayed in the shadows for the most part
until now.
For good reason.
He spent the last few weeks investigating
every available source she could find.
Flight logs, the Epstein files,
court records, and victims testimony
and this is what she was able to put together.
Here's the significance of Zoro Ranch.
On the map, Zoro Ranch
was not in the middle of nowhere.
It was in the middle of a very specific
somewhere.
Santa Fe's political class.
Los Alamos' National Security
and Nuclear Weapon Network
and the Santa Fe Institute's
world of complex systems research
that treats networks,
evolution, and information
as things that you can model and manipulate.
The Santa Fe Institute is a scientific
think tank built by scientists
from Los Alamos,
the lab that created the atomic bomb.
In 1984,
George Cowan, a Nobel Prize
winner, Murray Gelman
founded it
as a boundary-breaking research center.
By the early 1990s,
Jeffrey Epstein had donated
at least $275,000
after Ghislaine Maxwell introduced him
to Gelman,
a connection that ran through
her father's foundation
that already funded
a $300,000
professorship there.
That's weird.
Epstein placed his ranch
just 23 miles from the institute
and 50 miles from Los Alamos,
a location he later admitted
was intentional.
Gelman even personally
thanked Epstein
for financial support in his 1994
book, The Quark and the Jaguar.
Here's Zorro Ranch
down at the bottom of the map.
Here's the Santa Fe Institute.
There in this blue dot over here
is the Los Alamos
lab and National Security
Science Center.
Close enough
to brush shoulders with those
he wanted to influence
and far enough to operate
without any other witnesses.
But there's a reason
beyond proximity to power
that kept Epstein interested
in the sciences,
and that's exactly what his plan
was for the ranch.
And again, Whitney Webb documented
a lot of this stuff years ago as well.
This is not like
the first time this has ever been
uncovered, but look, they said this
researching this stuff because she's
just learning about all this stuff for the first time.
So it's new to her.
The flight logs and call records
for New Mexico make clear
that human trafficking was taking
place there.
People were flown into the remote
ranch and didn't always leave
on the same plane.
Names like Nadia and labels
such as Female One
appear on arrival records,
but the Handler's records
show they departed without them.
That kind of
separation is consistent
with how trafficking operations move people.
Research
shows that traffickers isolate victims
by moving them to new
locations where they're alone
and dependent on the trafficker
a form of psychological manipulation
and a control tactic
that matches the pattern
of people being dropped off at the
isolated ranch.
During the busiest years, as passengers
were repeatedly listed
as Female One or Male One
with no real names attached.
That's a little weird.
The anonymity was built into the official logs.
And I guess they were able to do that
because they were taking private planes
because they had the Lolita Express.
The compound itself
was built for control.
Between 94 and 1999,
Epstein transformed
the property into a
33,339
square foot
Acienda style mansion
with its own
4,400 foot private
airstrip, a hangar,
a helipad, surveillance cameras
at every gate
and hidden cameras installed
in Kleenex boxes purchased
from a spy shop. And again, she's got
the receipts to link to this
from The Independent.
Beneath the main residence
that a confirmed underground floor
of roughly 8,000 square feet
containing
massage rooms, jacuzzi rooms
and mechanical rooms
that house the surveillance network's servers
and recording equipment
all underground.
Think about the kind of money it took to build
a compound like this.
Justice Department
e-mails from 2017
reference image files
suggesting up to 6 underground levels
accessed by a sub-seller
elevator.
A reverse osmosis
water system
permitted to discharge
over 10,000 gallons
per day
service the compound. What did they need to produce
10,000 gallons of water a day
for?
This is infrastructure that researches
of question whether the service
buildings alone could justify.
This wasn't a home, it was
an operation.
Victim accounts
match the flight data.
Annie Farmer was flown
to the ranch at 16 in 1996
and later said that she was
sexually abused there.
Virginia Jufre
formally reports
she's now deceased
formally reports on two
recorded flight logs leaving Santa Fe
with known Epstein associates
aligning with her testimony
regarding the ranch.
There's a couple of pictures of her
at the ranch.
From the Epstein files.
The trafficking at Zorro ranch
was not the end goal
but instead it was the mechanism.
The end goal was something Epstein
talked about openly.
The scientists at dinner parties
at conferences he hosted
he wanted to use the ranch
as a human breeding
facility.
Quote girls journals
recovered in the files describe
Guillain Maxwell who appeared
on 37% of all flights
to New Mexico
taking their babies.
It includes photos of
sonograms and heartbreaking
pleas to keep their babies.
One girl
describes being repeatedly impregnated
by Epstein starting
at age 16
with babies taken away shortly
after birth.
He calls herself a quote-unquote
human incubator.
He talks about how
Guillain Maxwell was present during
at least one birth and would
tell her to close her eyes
so she wouldn't even see the baby.
She documents
at least one miscarriage caused by
pregnancies too close together
multiple live births
where babies were immediately
taken and severe
psychological trauma and
disassociation.
She wrote it in the only way
she could in her journals
in code
with magazine clips.
She is gone and she won't be coming
back with an ultrasound photo.
There's her clipping
out a poem
from
January 2863
called Child that says
my heart belonged to her.
Think about
what it means to be 14 years old.
You're in eighth or ninth grade.
You still have a curfew.
You might have just started wearing
makeup.
Your biggest worry should be a math test
for whether someone likes you back.
You are in every meaningful
sense still a child.
One navigating the bewildering early
stages of figuring out who you even
are.
Now imagine a man with a private
jet tells you or tells
someone in your life that he wants
to help with your education.
That he's a philanthropist
and he has connections.
Maybe your family doesn't have much
money. Maybe you've
been told that this is a once in a
lifetime opportunity.
You're flown to a remote ranch
in New Mexico that's thousands of
acres of desert 30 miles
from the nearest town.
There's a private airstrip.
Surveillance cameras
everywhere. The only way
in or out is through a gate
controlled by red staff.
There's no one to call. There's nowhere to
go.
The girls who survived this
carry it in their bodies
and their minds for the rest of their lives.
The testimony
that they've given in courtrooms on the
record and some even under
their own names is among the bravest
speech any human
being can offer.
They walked into systems
that had failed them at every turn
and then said this happened
to me anyway.
Here's more of these magazine
clippings posted from the files.
He wanted
young girls,
a teen, blonde beauty.
He wanted her childhood
back.
So here's
her analysis of how Zoral Ranch
worked as a trafficking hub.
At the top
were Epstein and Maxwell.
Maxwell again appeared on 37%
of all flights to New Mexico
and it was present on nearly every
trip through 2001.
Beneath her was
Emmy Taylor,
a British actress who has sued
victims listed as
Ghislaine's assistant
who flew to the ranch 33 times.
Again, that 33 number
sometimes even without Maxwell.
When Maxwell
stepped back after 2001
Sarah Kellan
moved into her role without any
break in operations handling
scheduling and logistics
for the next several years.
On the ground
a woman named Sabrina Zasco
coordinated arrivals.
Her subpoenaed phone
records show call activity rising
every time a flight was inbound
moving between Albuquerque
and Santa Fe in a steady
repeated pattern.
Ranch manager Bryce Gordon
and his wife ran the property
day to day. In 2013
Bryce was coordinating appointments
directly with Epstein.
In February 2007
the FBI interviewed
Bryce Gordon and his wife.
They told agents that Epstein
typically spent several weeks there
in summer with his assistant,
bodyguard, personal trainer
and sometimes his masseuses
who were flown in
via the private airstrip.
Then someone called the staff
and told them they were no longer allowed to speak
with the FBI. The interview
was immediately terminated.
The flight logs show how it worked.
Over 10 years
105 documented
flights moved people in
and out of New Mexico
in what investigators call passenger
laddering, meaning
the people who flew in were often not
the same people who flew out.
The flights followed
a tight repetitive triangle.
Teterboro, New Jersey
Van Nuys, California
and Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Teterboro sits just outside New York City
close enough for a quiet
drive into Manhattan
yet far enough removed from the
bustle of major commercial airports
to avoid unwanted attention.
Next we take a look at this clip
with Ryan Christian and Charlie Robinson.
Welcome to another episode of
what the hell is happening.
Always a great time to talk about
what the hell is going on with all the chaos in the world today.
Oh, you know what, I actually
forgot we have our new intro.
I wanted to play this clip right out of the gate
since this is something interestingly with what we start.
We ended up last time
saying that we could start
saying something very interesting
that I'm sure many of you are already thinking about
since Charlie's done a couple interviews in the fact,
but here's how we ended last
when was this?
End of January, right?
Here's the end of the interview.
Good to see you, Ryan.
I'll check in.
I'll have plenty to report back after
Mexico, I'm sure.
We're at events like last time,
weather events or whatever else.
I hope you stay safe out there.
Well, they always like to throw
a little curve bar away,
but we're resourceful. We always find a way to figure it out.
It is pretty crazy, right? Charlie, how are you?
Well, in this case, to be fair,
this wasn't necessarily
directed at the people of Anarcapulco.
It was happening elsewhere and it happened a couple
days after the event. Actually, it happened
on the Sunday
following the event ending on Friday.
I say event ending.
There were events going on Saturday and Sunday
at the convention center as well,
but it was dollar vigilante related.
I had a fantastic week
leading up to that and I got in
and out without any sort of problems.
I left on the Saturday before
just because I was scheduled to
and everything kicked off the day after,
but in terms of
the pyrotechnics
that happened,
it was funny because
we had some of the greatest investigative
journalists around in the area.
So as soon as it kicked off on
Sunday morning, Patrick
Kenningson from 21st Century Wires
there, Josh Sigurdsen from World Alternative
Media lives there. He just came
out of his house and it was going on.
Dan Dix from Press for Truth, they were down there,
so they just grabbed their gear and went out in
different directions and
filmed what was happening and what was
happening was actually
a bit of
a show.
Really, ultimately, that's what it was.
Now, scary and I'm not trying
to be dismissive of anybody who was
caught in that,
but what didn't happen
was them
pulling people off the bus, lining them up
and shooting them all. That didn't happen.
And what didn't happen were cab drivers
getting dragged out and shot.
What did happen was
the cabs were lit on fire,
the buses were pulled over, the people were
taken off, put up outside
and then the bus were lit on fire. The
OXO convenience stores, the equivalent
of a 7-Eleven in Mexico,
they were lit on fire, but all
three of those components have relationships
with the cartel.
They operate as buses and
taxis and convenience stores
at the behest of, or with
the express written
approval of the cartels and major league baseball.
They're allowed to operate.
And if the cartels decide
that they have
it's time to do a little show of force,
then maybe your convenience stores
and your cabs and your buses get burned down.
But that's the cost of doing business.
But what didn't happen was
they didn't destroy the tourism industry
by going into the
hotels and taking people out in the lobbies
and doing all the things that they
could have done. So in some respects
it was a bit of
terrorism theater
which is good. I'm glad
as opposed to it being the real thing.
But when it's happening
you don't know how long it's going to go
and the rumors were they're going to the hotels.
They're going to start doing that.
So it was an interesting time
to be paying attention
to that sort of street theater.
I wasn't there. I'm glad I wasn't there.
Not that I want to be there for it.
But I knew it
two dozen people who were still there
having to deal with that sort of
situation and the chaos
that comes with it. So I guess it's a reminder
to everybody, you know, everything's
normal until it's not.
And when the normality
ends and you are thrust
in the chaos, you have to become an expert
on your situation immediately.
And that is tough to do, especially if you're
in a foreign land. But I think it was
probably ultimately
maybe a good thing
for anybody who
sort of experienced that.
It's a dress rehearsal for what
can happen when the lights go off
or the power goes off
or chaos sparks because it doesn't
take too long for people
to go from normal to looting
if they think that they're going
to be out of food in a couple of days.
They'll make some decisions that they wouldn't normally do.
So it's just another reminder
about how fragile things can be
and how normal
is always kind of in air quotes
and that that is subject to change
pretty much in a moment's notice.
And, you know, those out there that would be driven
to loot, first of all,
you know, people in positions like that,
if desperate, anybody, I think, could get to that position
but it shows you an early position like that
or the time, you know, that's somebody
who wasn't prepared. That's a lesson
for this, right? Like, you wouldn't need to be rushing out to loot
for things you might need if, not because
of what's coming tomorrow, what they said might happen
just because you're always prepared. Because you have
water and resources and things you have, you know,
like the important thing to think about. But when you say about theater,
to what end
and how do you read this whole thing?
So, like, in your mind, what actually went down
and comparing to both the
mainstream alternative
and mainstream coverage of what they claimed
happened, you know, what's your insight
on that and how you see it going down
and if it was theater, you know, to what end
by whom, you know, how do you see that?
So if you're the cartel
and your guy gets
whacked, you have to retaliate.
Mm-hmm.
But you have to be careful on how that retaliation
is framed. Because
if you, there's ways
in which you can let the world know that you're angry
and that you're not going to stand for this,
which is, I think, what they did.
And then there's other ways
in which you can burn your bridge
after you've crossed it and
and take the, you know,
and really sort of fight, if the
cartels wanted to fight with the Mexican government
and make things untenable
for the government, they would destroy the tourism
industry. And they could have done that that day.
That would have been, there's six and a half million people
that come through just Puerto Vallarta every year.
So even if it was just limited
to Puerto Vallarta, which it was, and it was happening elsewhere,
but that would be enough
to throw in, you know, just an economic
catastrophe. So we've got that
going on. And so when I say
theater, I mean, if the cartel doesn't
respond, that's a
sign of weakness on their part, right?
So they do have to respond in a way
that the cartel recognizes violence,
fires, explosions, and by the
to be fair, the cars
exploding, they're exploding because their
tires are blowing out, right? It's not like they were rigged
with C4 and they were, you know,
they were lit on fire. They were made to
to catch on fire, but they weren't
rigged with like detonators and
you know, things like that.
The point being that they're doing this to demonstrate a response
but knowing that they don't want to do it to where it will cause
some kind of larger spin out by sort of just like, you know,
pushing back slightly.
So do you think that that is
so you see it as genuinely
that the shine and bomb, you know,
the president of Mexico took this action
unilaterally because of whatever reasoning
was and the cartel just responded. You don't
see any influence.
I don't know if it was unilateral.
I don't know if they're like, how do you see this
playing in the larger sphere because a lot of
the conversation and this is not for those
that are new to this conversation, this is not some kind of
let's just find a way to tie in
the elements, you know, like Israel, the United States.
There's a wildly clear documented track record
of the U.S. and Israel
training cartel members, as I know you were
going back to, I mean, even before, but, you know,
the most notorious in regard to
it's
slipping my mind all of a sudden, they made
Netflix documentaries about them.
The cartel, the
No, no.
God, it's so crazy to me.
The most famous, the Netflix
did a whole thing about him. It doesn't matter.
I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about.
One of the most famous, I said a Loa Cartel, I believe,
and the one, and what's his name?
Not the one that was before that, but anyway.
I
swear it's so crazy that somebody in the chat will
probably say it. My point is that there's
documented, you know,
reports or interviews
or, you know, where they're training them.
I mean, even Israeli media caught, reported on
Israel getting caught doing that. And so the
conversation becomes, is this
about some kind of a different
like right now, I think a lot of people are
beginning to recognize that there's a different way
the world actually works. That's a global
thing, right? And that's to this local point
about whether or not there's involvement with the cartels
like the DEA getting caught in
2025, literally helping them
launder their money about
whether this was something that was
shine and bomb, like maybe stopping that.
And this was a response to try to push back on
some kind of effecting. And this isn't even
unique to you as an Israel, but like a global
network of control. Do you see anything
that goes that direction or how else do you see
that? That's kind of what I was getting at.
Yeah, my mind immediately
went to Eric Holder and Fast and the Furious.
Pablo Escobar, thank you.
I can't believe I didn't remember his name.
Yeah, so
so immediately I started
thinking of Fast and the Furious, right?
So running guns into Mexico.
So again, it's like, oh, the
cartels are setting off these bombs or
committing violence. It's like, yeah, with the weapons
that we send them. Okay?
And then I started to think, well, also Israel
is sending weapons as well and they're doing training.
So what is that?
What's that?
So what it isn't
I think what it isn't
is it isn't the government
versus the cartel? I don't think it's that.
Right. That's the
government. I think the government in the
cartel have a mutually
parasitic relationship, right? They need
each other. Or maybe the government doesn't need
the cartel, but the cartel is there
and they have to deal with it.
And so
I don't see them
as
maybe, well, maybe they are sworn enemies
but I don't see that as preventing them
from working with each other when they need to.
So I'm always a bit suspicious
about this. I have
maybe you can help me walk
work this out
because we've got
Claudia Scheinbaum,
president of Mexico, Jewish,
yet
her policies seem to be very supportive
of Palestinians, which has
thrown me for a loop. I don't know
what to make of that.
The point about whether it's, you know, it's not
just being Jewish is not
necessarily the tie. It's the Zionist element
of the Jewish or Christian side of it.
So I think that that's, you know,
but I, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.
We should go into it. Go ahead.
My assumption is she wouldn't be
she wouldn't be the president of Mexico
if she was just Jewish. She'd have to be
Jewish and Zionist to me. I don't know. Maybe
I'm wrong, but to me,
it's an important factor to get into
because I do think that that's whether
Jewish or Zionist independently
or just Jewish or just that there's
there's there's her elements of manipulation
from the outside. I think that does matter.
Like that's the people out there that want
to argue that the Zionist
discussion or Israel is devoid
of a Jewish element are lying as well.
Right. So I think it's always important to highlight
that, but please continue your point.
Yeah. So I'm
I wondered about this
since it didn't break off into
a continued
escalation of violence
that it felt kind of like pro-wrestling
and
look, you can get hurt for real
when you're fake wrestling. So
it's not to be it's not
it's not that all of this is fake.
No, it's it's real, but it's controlled
controlled aggression. It's controlled bombs.
You know, it's we're going to
and we see this a lot in war too. Like, oh, they
launched a drone strike against
Iran and Iran has to retaliate. They have
to retaliate, but maybe they retaliate by
saying we're going to send a missile tomorrow
at two o'clock p.m. and hit this
place right here. Make sure everybody's now.
Don't you agree that's what happened last time? Like I feel like there
was inscribed reports that that's ultimately what
happened, but Israel just took advantage of it
after the agreed kind of back and forth.
That's what a surprise.
What a surprise.
So, so yeah, I am
always looking
for whatever is under the surface, right?
The obvious
is the cartels versus the government.
But we know that there's
more than that. So I guess
I'm wondering
I guess I'm
wondering how this plays into
Israel's
pretty. I don't know if they've come out and publicly stated
this, but for those of us who have been
paying attention, there has
been a pivot to South America
by the Israelis.
We're starting to hear about Patagonia
and obviously with Argentina
and Malay and
Venezuela gets
Maduro removed and then they normalize
relationships
with Israel immediately
and starts selling their oil to Israel immediately
and so you say, okay, so Israel is definitely
looking like
Operation Condor 2.
I don't know. They've got their
eyes set on South America
and I would say Central America as well.
So is this just the beginning
of
sort of the
hax Judaica in
the Western Hemisphere?
Well, I think that's exactly what I think we have
to always remember is it's not one or the other.
I mean, we can, I think we should
and have in the past discussed
which one might be more guiding the other between
the U.S. and Israel. That's an important conversation
because who's to say, I think I have my opinion
but I think both of these agendas are
the same today, right? So it's clear
that the U.S. has had this Monroe doctrine
sort of our hemisphere perspective for a really long time
and clearly that's kind of ebbed and flowed.
I mean, I think it's never really stopped but the narratives
have changed. Today, it's just gone, hey,
it's just, it's crazy how on the
I think it's, I think what Israel's driving
through this administration is to make all
of this happen. I think Netanyahu
personally feels that his window is
closing on when he can effectively make all this happen.
And so Iran's, his wet dream of Iran
is literally taking place and I think
his calculus is, well, we have to
bring Lebanon immediately involved
because otherwise we might get this but then Lebanon
will still be there. And I think Netanyahu feels that
he might be losing power soon and that's what
Israel's saying. And so I think all of this
is sort of mashing this into one large
agenda. I think it has to do with the AI direction,
the control grid, rare earth
minerals, Venezuela, Lithium,
you know, Golden Oil as well. I think that's what
this is. And so I think you're right though, but I
think the Israel sort of focusing might just
be that all of this is their common
agenda at this point. Next, we take a look
at this clip with Rachel Blevins and Robert
Ingladesh.
Point me.
Thanks for having me.
It's great to have you back on the show.
Now I want to get your take on the latest here
is I know that the U.S. and Israel
have launched a full scale war
on Iran and in less than
one week the timeline has gone from
four days to four
weeks to now 100
days with reports that the Pentagon
is desperately scrambling to gather
everything from military
intelligence officers to
air defense interceptors.
Are you surprised that the U.S.
embarked on this attack on Iran
when the warnings were all
around that if they did this,
it was going to lead to a prolonged war
and that's exactly what we're seeing.
Well, I can't say that I'm surprised
that they launched the war.
However, what I am surprised at
is how poorly they're doing
to be honest with you.
All of the military analysts
experts that I was speaking to
prior to the war being launched
were essentially all telling me
the same thing that during
the first week or some would say
three to four days
the Americans and the Israelis
were going to have the upper hand
and that the Iranians would be
on the back foot.
It would be difficult for them to fire off
significant bursts of ballistic missiles
in response
and it was going to be bad news
for Iran.
It was anticipated that Iran
would lose its navy.
It was anticipated that all
of its aircraft were going to be
destroyed or at least
they were going to be rendered
non-existent
to their navy and their air force.
Also,
it was
recorded
that
they were going to lose
and everyone thought this was just
a given fact that they were going to lose
their air defense systems.
The Iranians still have their air defense
systems intact
to a certain extent. We don't know
how badly they've been damaged
but we know they're still shooting out of the sky
Israeli and American
drones every single day.
Their air force are still in the skies.
Not only is the
Iranian air force still
in existence, the Iranian air force
in the first few days of the war
actually carried
out airstrikes on US
military facilities and these
are old,
old fighter jets.
The mere fact that they
even had
the courage
to use those jets
to carry out those missions
in of itself is shocking.
And then
within basically
around two hours
of the initial strikes coming in
the Iranians had already
started firing burst of ballistic missiles
at Tel Aviv
at all of the US military bases in the
Persian Gulf at Iraq
later at Jordan
and
they were hitting their targets, many of them.
And then now of course
the Iranians had to
use smaller
waves of missiles. They have to be
careful so that they
don't make it very obvious where they're
launching from and they don't get taken out
and of course it's inevitable that they will
get taken out to some extent
but at the same time
it's been
it's left me
speechless how the Iranians
have taken the initiative
how strong the Iranians
have been. I was prepared that
for the first week the Iranians were going to be on the back
but that is not what we've seen
we've seen that the Iranians
are pounding the opposition
they're sending their suicide
drones into sensitive military
facilities
they're killing US soldiers
they're evidently killing Israeli soldiers
Hezbollah
in Lebanon
something that actually I've been writing about for many months
and some people
jumped on my case and said that
Hezbollah is no longer in existence
and it was weak
and I was arguing the case that
the weapons were still coming through
the Syrian border and that Hezbollah
was not defeated
in any way
but Hezbollah has now entered the conflict
and Hezbollah is firing
hundreds upon hundreds of rockets
and missiles countless drones
into Israeli military
sites
and along the Lebanese border
it is engaging the Israeli military
with ambushes
and anti-tank guided munitions
destroying Israeli tanks
armoured personnel carriers
and troop gatherings
this has been just chaos
for the Israelis and the Americans
shockingly so
and the reason why
this war was not launched before
by any other presidency
any other administration
was because this is the worst case scenario
for them
and it's not looking good
it's not looking good at all
Oh absolutely when you've got reports about
the US having to possibly move
its bad systems from
South Korea to the Middle East
it just serves as a reminder
that the US empire can only do so much
and I know exactly like you were saying
when it comes to Iran
a lot of people will be quick to say
oh Iran is a paper tiger
they warn and they don't really follow through on it
but they actually have followed through
on their warnings with every retaliation
it has increased
every single time
and this time they didn't wait
they didn't wait around for days or weeks
it was within hours
within about 30 minutes I believe
that they started their retaliation
they did exactly what they said they would do
targeting not only Israel
but also
over a dozen US military bases
and sites in the region
which is what they warned
and I did think it was notable because I know there's some people out there
that will say oh well
they aren't hitting this target or that target
but it's like they are wearing down
US and its vassal states
and their air defenses
and they have a finite supply of interceptors
also at the same time
their capabilities are hitting everything from
Washington's $1 billion radar system
and its air base and Qatar
to multiple THAAD systems
of which the US only
has 11 in the world
so how do you view
Iran's strategy here
to not just target Israel
but to really hit this wide
range of targets and show what they are capable of
across the region
well I believe that the Americans
fell into a number of traps
and they did the worst possible thing
that they could have done in the opening round of strikes
the number one
and perhaps the most important
point to take away here
is that they killed Ayatollah Khamenei
he was in his house
he didn't leave
he was in a very obvious
publicly non-space
and they killed him there
and you have to ask yourself the question
and obviously the US military
for the political leadership that ordered it
didn't ask themselves
this key question
why was he still there in such an obvious place
because he had evidently
accepted at 86 years
of age that
he was okay to doubt
that that strike could come at any moment
but he knew
that his nation was prepared for it
and so when that strike came down
that opened Pandora's box
not just
because of the fact that
Iran was going to respond in a way
that it has
but because the entire region
was going to explode
and that this would trigger a whole
series of
events throughout the region
which has spanned from an uprising in Bahrain
to the Iraqi
groups
within the Hashdashabi
and the Awliya Adam
which is another resistance group
which more recently
I suppose started
advertising itself
since I think 2020
officially
Hezbollah, Ansarullah
Yemen and beyond
all of them have become engaged
in this conflict
and also here's another thing
and this is not to do with the military side
only
killing Khamenei
and opening this war
in the minds of many
perhaps in the Iranian
leadership
could have been
the beginning
of a sort of rebirth
of the Islamic Republic of Iran
what I mean by that is
in its 47 years of existence
there's been a number of
different key events
which have been transformative
and have
essentially ensured the survival
of the project
in the country
one of them was the
8 year war
between Iraq and Iran
and the United States pushed
Saddam Hussein to engage
in that war of aggression against Iran
using chemical weapons
and of course killing civilians
and you know
anywhere between
500,000 to over
a million some people say Iranians
were killed in this war
a lot of people died fighting
but that war
ended up being the glue
that kept the Islamic Republic
so strong
you know this is what happens in war
like in western countries
we have the Second World War
which is used as sort of this
I don't know
background story as to why we're so great
and you know why
our system is so wonderful
because we do not see
these and you know World War II
and the events that happen
for Iran
the Iran-Iraq war was one of those moments
I believe that
what has happened is with the death of Khamenei
and the way that the Iranians
dealt with this was very intelligent
they didn't announce it for a day
they retaliated first
demonstrated to their population
that they can deal with this situation
that they can take on the world's number one
military superpower
without Khamenei
and then
after that now they have this massive war
which is exposed
to their own population
why for all these years
their slogan has been
death to America, death to Israel
develop our ballistic missile systems
develop our drones
ensure that we're supporting our allies
in the region why that
is true
why they need to support that
in order to stay sovereign
and to protect themselves
because the United States, the other big thing
that they did which was a major mistake
was they bombed
a girl school
in Iran killing at least
165
little girls
and according to
Middle East Eye
their sources say anyway
the reports on the ground indicated
it was a double tap strike
that they struck the school twice
so
what they did there with the massacre
of those school girls demonstrated
to the Iranian nation
why their policies
have been the way they have been
so this can almost be a moment
for Iran that
sort of reinforces the ideas
and the
principles of the
Islamic revolution
and now they've taken away the
one man
who had issued a fatwa
a religious ruling
against developing a nuclear
weapon
so this is the worst case scenario
for the Americans and the Israelis
again
the Iranian air defenses are still there
they still have naval assets
they still have an air force
their military is extremely
powerful
their allies are overperforming
especially Hezbollah
from what everybody expected them to do
in Lebanon as Hezbollah have
outperformed the expectations
and now
the one man that was in the way
of Iran
getting a nuclear weapon
has been
ruthlessly murdered
by the Americans who are claiming
that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon
and then they're wanting to strike
again
and then
the
religious council
a meeting of the religious council
to elect the next leader
and of course the Iranian side said
that the Americans
ended up striking an empty building
but that is nonetheless a message
and so
at this point Iran is dictating
what's happening here
I mean look the American
military
of course is extremely
powerful we can't undermine that
I don't think
we should underestimate the power
of the US military
but when you see Pete Hexap up there
at the podium
talking about all the wonderful achievements
that the US has scored here
this is Cope
this is pure Cope
it's weak
Cope in the same way
as when the United Arab Emirates
puts an official
in military
fatigues and gets them to come on
television and point with a stick
and a graph of
all the missiles
that they've shot down which are more missiles
than were even fired at the country
ridiculous things
it's all at this
point Cope from the Israeli
and the American side and that's why as well
partially the Israelis
are blocking their own citizens
from filming the damage
in Tel Aviv
in occupied Al-Quds
in the north of the country
all over
where these missiles are actually impacting
the Israelis, the Israeli media
will report a serious security incident
in the Hebrew media
when that report comes through
I mean soldiers have been killed
and injured in action
and they'll report time and time again
throughout the day that Hezbollah
along the northern border
that there's been a
serious security incident
and then we just hear nothing about all of the casualties
you know two tanks were just destroyed
completely destroyed but apparently
the crews there's no news
on the crews
there's no
injuries or there's no deaths
or if there are injuries there are moderates or light
despite the fact that
an entire tank was destroyed
I don't know how that works
but there's an enormous amount
of censorship going on
and that's because
quite frankly they're losing
Next we take a look at this clip from Cognitive Dissidents
with her Voya Morick, Monica Perez
and Parallel Mike
Hello everybody, welcome to
the latest episode of Cognitive Dissidents
I am Parallel Mike
of Parallel Systems
This is Monica Perez of the Monica Perez Show
I know Khurvawayer from Geopaldics
and Empire
Well it's great to see you both
it's been two weeks and
the world is now at war
apparently so I think we've got a lot to speak
about on the Iran subject
I thought maybe we could start
her Voya with some of your videos
because I know you've usually got something to
kick us off so I'll hand it over
to you and then we can start
commenting on some of these narratives
because there's lots of them relating to this one topic
Are you mean on the Iran stuff?
Yeah
Yeah, okay
let me just get this
Because the other thing
this would have been the biggest news
was what happened in Mexico
in her Voya's backyard
less than two weeks ago
and sadly worse
has happened since then
but we do have to get to that Mexico conversation
Yeah just on the Iran stuff
I don't have any
some of the stuff that I have here
is I found interesting Lockheed Martin
you know war is a racket
Lockheed Martin
says we've agreed to quadruple
munitions production
and it's like boy bullets
and bombs are
the big money
but some of the other important stuff here
what was it? Hegseth
so I haven't found the actual source
but this is a clip where Hegseth is actually
appearing to say
he threatens the entire Iranian population
the only ones that need to be worried right now
are Iranians that think they're going to live
the only ones that think they're going to live
like what is that
and Palavi
I call him the Imperial Marionette
the Shah's son
this is Ajax 2.0
he's
he has accepted
his role as Iran's
transitional leader
here's the acute up the clip
the Iranian people have called on me
to read the transition
have they really? Wow
after the regime is gone
I have accepted that responsibility
part of their great mandate
to me is to return our nation
and our foreign relations
to normalcy
I will do exactly that
my commitment
is to ensure the transition
is orderly
so we get the idea
blah blah blah there and then
this clip I just got this morning
which is pretty wild at least they're being honest
the oil right? This is a long term
gain because what we want to do
is get such massive oil reserves
in Iran out of the hands of terrorists
and so
what we're going to experience here in the short term
is a highly outweighed
of the long term benefit because
ultimately we're not going to have to
worry about these issues in the Strait of Hormuz
because we're going to get
all of the oil out of the hands of terrorists
that's pretty wild
and I think that that's it for now
and there are a few other
talking points but I'm just going to add
we've been talking about this for months haven't we
maybe even a year on cognitive dissonance
and it's finally happening
and for my biggest takeaway
is I think
it's a number of issues of course it's oil
of course you know it's regime change
but it's to bring in technocracy
right to like
we've seen in Venezuela and Gaza
and Ukraine
we're upgrading the analog systems of Windows XP
to Windows 12 now
soon we're going to have Windows 12
and even Council on Formulations
put out an article one of our listeners sent it to me
saying that
we need to bring in Iranian
technocrats
for this new
Iranian government and then once that
happens you're going to have the Middle Eastern
Technite
so and I'll just add one more thing
I had two of my past podcast guests
message me three
but some of the things they said
one of them says we're watching the unfolding
of the Middle Eastern Technite before our eyes
another said
that he's learned a lot
from me that
he used to think there was more
genuine conflict
between the nations but now he's
come around to seeing that
most of these
these actors are sort of
on the same page when it comes to globalism
and one more
past podcast guest said that
it feels like February 2020
right with COVID
right before the tomato hit the
fan and I think he's on point
this is like March 2026
and I think this is the sequel
to COVID which is going to be used
to take away our
liberties
and implement the digitalization
agenda so
yeah
there's loads that we can speak about
the thing you just said that I think
is really interesting because
we've got all the kind of same
ingredients that we had going into
2020 we've got a financial crisis
there's lots of issues behind the
scenes which we'll discuss but private credit
is the one that most people are pointing
to we've got a stock market
bubble
but the interesting part about
the oil shock that I was thinking
is that if they
have oil
spike over $100 a barrel
firstly they can blame the global recession
or depression on that they'll say it was the oil shock
it was the Iranians and then the other thing
is we're going to have a situation
where we might have energy lockdowns
because nobody's going to be able to go anywhere
if there's no inventory at the fuel pumps
if planes are grounded which has already
started to happen and people can't
fly and then they say oh we're going to
have to ration energy which actually
happened in the 1970's
so they've already done all of this
and then all of a sudden you've got a situation
that's quite similar to COVID where nobody's
able to do much and
the other thing I would say to that is if we
have an event that's let's say a cyber
attack and they blame that on Iran
and there's a banking crisis
well now you've got everybody demanding
some kind of response
and that would be technocracy
I mean the tether and the stable coins
all of that's still to come but if we do
have a crisis that affects
the liquidity of the everyday
man and woman then yeah
COVID bailouts and steamy checks
and debt grace repayments
and all of that stuff so
yeah I think it's the same that's what
I was saying in my show just last night
I think it's going to be COVID Mk2
it's going to have a lot of the same features
and we're just waiting for
kind of like a I know we've got the one
out of it but there's going to be an event at some point
I think I get the feeling there's going to be
a big event that kind of brings it all together
and gets the everyday man and
woman on board because right now most people
don't care about this Iranian war
they don't want to go to war they've got no interest
in it and the only people
that really are on board with it would be
the christian evangelicals who think it's
end times and we can maybe
talk about that too but Monica
I'll hand it over to you. You have got a few things
there both from
reacting to what her boy is saying
and what you're saying Mike
the AI bubble
which I mean I think we've also
talked about this kind of front ran
when people were still nobody even said
the words AI bubble we're like wait a second
this looks like a bubble
if you look back at the dot com bubble
that was bursting and then you got 9-11
so you could have that
I agree that the
I feel like the cyber lockdown
is the 2.0
kind of you know like COVID
had the actual physical lockdown
the
the reason I think that is
I couldn't
buy something on Amazon
and I was like well whatever it's just my
wifi or whatever and then a friend of mine is like
why is Amazon not working
and the news was that
they had servers hit in the Middle East
which should not really affect us I don't think
and I'm thinking
well they're setting us up
for a cyber attack
and thinking about how you
would live without that that's a little bit
in contrast with the
the lockdown stuff where they were trying
to get you online
so I don't know what that back
and forth is but I do think a cyber attack
is likely and I also think a
real false flag is what it would take
to get even the MAGA crowd
who's kind of a doesn't know
what to do with this
war president when they didn't
really think they were voting for that although
they should have known because we told them
but they could have a false flag
and I'm sure they're going to
but they could do something more serious
like we've seen
you know just because the assassination attempt
in
Pennsylvania that we all
bonded on as being fake
just because an attempt is
an inside job doesn't mean
nobody dies so I worry
a little bit about Trump because I think
they just gave him his marching orders I can tell you
why I think that but they just gave him his marching orders
they didn't have to tell him what they really knew
about the risks of retaliation
how long the war would be that just his was not
to wonder why his is just to do
or die and maybe do and die
and just to add to that
we're seeing again
the signals being put out there
and I think
for us that have real good discernment
we're able to form these patterns
and accurately predict
extrapolate predict the future
and again one of my guests said
messaging me
and I think he's on point
what we saw in Mexico
which I did a podcast on
it was Operation Gladio
a Mexican division
and that I think is the shape
of things to come it's almost like they were
what happened in Guadalajara here
burning 300 cars
and you know they didn't really target civilians
but it was almost like
that was
what we may see in the US
and it's wild to see Alex Jones
like again I keep an eye on him
and his the other day his newsletter
and it's like so mainstream
media he's got some pretty lady with big boobs
in the studio with him and he's like
I predicted the Iranian sleeper cells
you know so the sleeper cells
are going to be activated in the US
and it's like guys really
come on that's
false flag and so the guy who
you know made his mark
on being the anti-false
flag guy is now
literally the tip of the spear
as he used to say
bleeding the false flag
operation so they've seated that narrative
of Iranian sleeper cells
and as you say Monica I would not be
surprised if we begin to see
these Iranian sleeper cell
false flag operations across
the United States. Next we have this clip
from New World Next Week
with James Corbett and James Evan Palado.
Welcome back to New World Next Week
I'm James Corbett of CorbettReport.com
and I'm James Evan Palado
of MediaMonarchy.com. Surely part of the
pleasure is that sense of connection
with the content creator.
We have got that fascinating story
plus Fukushima and COVID
anniversaries but first
nation's worldwide move to conserve
fuel as straight of Hormuz closure
threatens global economy.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shabez Sharif
announced on 9 March
sweeping austerity measures to curb
domestic fuel consumption
after oil prices briefly reached
120 bucks a barrel due to the
disruptions caused by the US
real war on Iran. The entire region
is currently in a state of war
keeping this reality in mind the
government took difficult decisions
for the country's economy Sharif said in his address
he said oil prices already above
100 a barrel and could rise further
forcing Islamabad to conserve
reserves and take quick measures
to reduce the need for fuel consumption
across the country. Measures in
the public sector include a
four-day work week for government
employees and rotating
work from home arrangements for
half of the public staff. The measures
also involve two weeks of school closures
online classes for higher education
cuts to official fuel use
salary reductions for ministers
and lawmakers and restrictions on foreign travel
and in-person government meetings this sounds
really familiar.
Pakistani authorities said the plan
was meant to utilize the available
reserves of oil in a judicious
manner. Workers in Pakistan
who depend on driving for their livelihoods
report that rising petrol prices
are eroding incomes and driving
up the costs of everyday goods
elsewhere in Asia. Bangladesh
imposed daily fuel sale
limits after what Reuters described as
panic buying and stockpiling
with state-run Bangladesh Petroleum
Corporation saying the curbs were meant to
restrain excessive demand, calm
the public and keep nationwide
stocks stable. Other Asian
states activated contingency plans rather
than immediate rationing including fuel
price caps, efforts to stabilize
petrol prices, shifts in crude purchases
away from golf routes
and reliance on reserves or alternative
supply arrangements.
Asia is the epicenter of the
war-induced energy shock since
it relies on the Persian Gulf for over
80% of its oil. Unlike
the U.S. which is a net
exporter, Asia faces a
literal energy panic and I did
have to look that up James. America
exports most of its oil. The United
States is a net exporter of petroleum
products meaning it exports more refined
oil than it imports. In
2023 the U.S. exported
about 10.15 million
barrels per day of petroleum
including gas, diesel, jet fuel
making it the world's largest exporter
of refined petroleum products while
the U.S. is also the largest producer
of crude oil 12.1
million barrels a day. It
exports a significant portion of its crude
particularly light sweet crude from
Shalefields of course in Texas, North
Dakota and New Mexico
which feels like it should be a lot
richer with all that oil that we
provide. It's odd how New
Hexaco is still very very poor.
Is this the chart
pressuring Trump toward an Iran
off-ramp? That's the question Zero Hedge
asked because it did go pretty quickly to him saying
of course we're not at war. Don't
forget that like Mike Johnson said we're
not at war. This is not a war.
Also Trump suddenly wants to end it
really quickly. Iran vows
to block oil shipments until U.S.
real attacks end and war with
Iran becomes the world's latest economic
hazard. Trump insists the conflict will be
brief but world leaders are prepping
for severe economic blowback.
James.
Yes James there is a lot
of moving parts on the table. There are
a lot of moving parts on the table right now.
So I'm sure people can appreciate all
of the latest breaking news that
is happening as we're recording this. Dozens
of oil tankers divert to Red Sea as
Saudis reroute crude flows
from Hormuz choke point.
We have the IEA the International
Energy Agency to release a record
400 million barrels of oil
from its stockpiles.
We have the IRGC the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps striking
vessels who are attempting to cross
the Strait of Hormuz including
a Thai flagged dry bulk vessel
a Japan flagged container ship and a
Marshall Islands flagged bulk carrier
all hit by unidentified
projectiles as they were
attempting to well not heed
the warnings not to enter the Strait
and then we also of course
have this land mine
Bruha
that's taking place right now apparently
Iran maybe was trying to
put mines in the Strait maybe
and Trump threatens consequences never
seen before if Iran mines
the Strait of Hormuz which wasn't
that old internet mean
consequences like never before
anyway I something like that anyway
so a lot of breaking news but
I guess Brock please put
the temporal disclaimer the new world next week temporal
disclaimer on screen
whatever happens in the 24 hours
between the time we're recording this and the time
that you actually see this we don't know about
so we can't give you the latest up to the second
breaking news but I can attest to that
Asian panic right now because
of course in Japan we're starting
to begin to feel the
beginning of this gas gas prices
already rising and of course it was
a top story on the news
last night what how high will they go
essentially and
of course I've I've read about
Thailand and Malaysia and Pakistan
and other places taking emergency measures
and cutting office hours and all sorts
of things to try to conserve oil
at this point and we'll see
what eventuates from here and I realize
look I am fully
fully cognizant that oh my god
won't someone think of the price of gas is not
necessarily the most important moral calculation
we could be making as you know
bombs are dropping on schools
full of schoolgirls and that sort of thing
but it is the one
that might that might impact
those people who are still
cheering this on yeah yeah we got to get
those damn terrorists and bring freedom to the Middle
East or something that when has that
ever gone wrong
but at the very least once it
starts affecting people in the pocketbook
it will start getting people to rethink
their blind support for the
US real war that's going
on right now for absolutely no reason
whatsoever and
as you say you could be there even
in the heart of oil country
in New Mexico but it's not like
it's not like you're reaping any of the benefits
and I bet you gas prices are starting
to creep up there as well it's funny how
this knocks on and goes around
so excuse
me I'm so excited I'm choking
on my own spit so there
are many things to say about this war
and what's taking place right now
I would just say
that the 2d summary
of what's going on the
these nation states against nation states
perhaps the best one
I saw I saw a twitter
post that was embedded in some article I was reading
it took the US
20 years to replace the taliban
with the taliban but only
9 days to replace common a with common a
yay
so that's progress isn't it
so that's a funny way of putting what
essentially what is taking place on the 2d geopolitical
just board but as we all know
it's a 3d chess board and there are people
puppeteering both sides of this and we should
not forget that Iran was complicit
in the covid scandemic nonsense
like every other nation on the globe
and they played at their part
in all of this phony
nonsense of the axis of resistance
against NATO
it is a stage play
and we should be careful not to
invest our identities in any of these fake teams
James I saw a really interesting compare
and contrast of two different
New York times headlines
where the first one says
Iran claims a missile
hit one of their schools and kids
or whatever and then the next article
is strike
in Israel kills from Iranian
missile is like everything
Israel says is taking it face value
anything Iran says is like ah these
liars made a claim that we're all
blowing up schools and killing little kids
so again fantastic job
from the liars in the
press and James it's
I mean it's the same thing in West Virginia
out of state exploiters
using the states
resources to
dig all that coal
pump all that oil and it goes of course
to out of state
the insurance companies embargo
thing is kind of huge on this
as well James I got a few people send
me the article and in some ways it does
go over again my economic head
what role did marine insurers
play in halting
Hormuz traffic traffic through the
straight of Hormuz declined by 80%
within 24 hours of strikes being launched
on Iran as ship owners and charters
weighed whether to proceed
with voyages the insurance companies
are saying we ain't insured
that because we'd have to pay out
they don't get where they are paying out
a bunch of payments defects
James your coffin I'm banging into my
microphone this past week I guess
is I guess this is what passes for
a slow news week we're actually
able to take a moment and kind of
assess what has been going on at a
pretty pretty quick rate
pretty fascinating story
for our second story UK
society of authors launched
logo to identify
books written by humans not
AI the society
of authors has launched a scheme
to help identify works written by
humans in a market increasingly flooded
by AI generated books
the scheme is the first of its kind
launched by a UK trade association
and allows authors to register their
books and download a human
authored logo to display
on their back cover no way
anybody will steal that logo and put
it on their AI slop
the SOA said the absence of any
government measure please government
save us to compel tech companies
to label AI generated output
meant readers were struggling to
distinguish between books written by
a human and machine generated
works based on AI models trained on
copy written works without permission
or payments it mirrors a similar
scheme launched by the authors guild in the
US at the beginning of 2025
Mary Beard the
classicist that is
brit speak for ancient literature
expert one of several high profile
authors who have backed the scheme and plan
to register their works on the human authored
website it's only going to be human
authored books on my desert island she
said Mallory blackman
children's author said the scheme seeks
to highlight the imagination commitment
craft and care taken to produce stories
and books which can be enjoyed by everyone
any creative
endeavor requires time effort
a willingness to learn from mistakes
and a determination to persevere
lifelong essential skills which
cannot be learned and honed by allowing
AI to do all of our creative thinking
and production for us surely
part of the pleasure of reading
listening to songs watching films and dramas
looking at an artwork and in fact
sharing any creative endeavor is
that sense of connection with the content
creator that feeling that they are speaking
to you on some deep emotional level
that is entirely absent when
the work has been produced by a
James the smartest pithiest thing I could
think of this is basically the non
GMO project for books
yes and I share your skepticism
on this yeah as if they won't just
you know slap this on their
AI slop and you know call it a date
I mean I don't know how you enforce this
or what kind of standards there are how
they check maybe I'll find out because
maybe I should get reportage listed as
a human authored book because
it was no AI used in the creation
of that book so let's see
what yeah maybe I'll do that and make a little video
about it like what is the process and how does it work
but yeah you
know again what is the standard
who is creating the standard what does it mean
like oh what what if somebody does
AI research I asked rock and it told
me this and then I wrote a story about it like
I don't know again where do you draw the lines with this
but having said that I'm not
against the idea I think it's a good idea
to at least be able to identify human
created content over AI
generated slop and
my concern of it once you
drill into this article and
the associated articles that they're linking to
about this subject you'll find a lot of the authors
are protesting because
intellectual property and they're
concerned oh you know AI is fed
and trained on our copyrighted
material and thus it's taking
our work and stealing it well as people
know I'm not a big fan of the concept of
intellectual property itself so my
inclination against
the AI generated work is not so much on
that regard it is more to do
with the what I
think is one of the greater fears of all
of this is not that AI is going to
you know kill us or replace
us or something like that it's good that
we are going to essentially become
like the AI because we will
give over our thinking and our creative
processes to it and yeah I really
don't know what the point of consuming an AI
generated novel would be what
is the point of that even just theoretically
conceptually even if it tickles
your funny bone or it
you know makes you interested or whatever it is
it still
just doesn't seem real and seems pointless and
it was just something that was generated from
a machine I don't know personally
I'm against that and thus
I'm going to find out what's involved
with this label and whether or not someone like myself
can get it slapped on my work
it's really fascinating
and again as we've talked
about for decades
it's the idea
that's the powerful thing it's
not Airbnb or
it's the idea that hey
you're a free human being and you can
share your car out to somebody or rent
out a room in your place or
say that your books are written by
humans James
mean it's a little bit like the AI
pop songs I like
knowing what I'm in
for and I know that it's an outlet
that says we do comedic
satirical AI songs
it's when it's the tricks when people have
tried to pass off things I believe you and I
talk maybe off-mic about that new
country song that was breaking up the charts
that was that was all completely AI
doing it surreptitiously
again as I talked about on
New World next year 2026
I think it's some of those channels like
almost vinyl that are very open
and very sort of
open about what they do
I guess I don't have the misgivings about that
that I would in other areas
whether that's GMO foods
or AI media I suppose
and it is
641 PM March 11th
2026 as I talk to you right now
six years ago today
on March 11th 2020
the World Health Organization declared
a global pandemic
and two days later on Friday the 13th
orange man dutifully bent the knee
and instituted all the mandates
and lockdowns elusive
COVID justice after six years
where are the prosecutions
a year and change into the
golden age at deep
and thus far unquench thirst
for justice among a huge portion
of the massive MAGA base
notwithstanding the administration
has prosecuted
precise zero
COVID criminals what's more
the Department of Justice of course with Pam
Bondi Beach isn't promising
to prosecute Americans for hate
speech or rolling out new schemes to cover up
all their involvement in Epstein hasn't
scrounged up any time to bother investigating
any of them no prosecutions
no investigations no press releases
nothing but radio
silence the guy running
HHS RFK junior
wrote a big beautiful book
elaborately detailing the rampant criminality
of Fauci and many more of his co-conspirators
and yet crickets
nothing criminal conspiracy
which these people provably
engaged in typically has a five
year statute of limitations now this is interesting
the key provision though
is that the clock on the five year statute
of limitations window for criminal conspiracy
only commences once the conspiracy
has concluded
as the conspiracy the shot
mandates the forced masking the business
closures continued deep
into 2023 and arguably beyond
we are still well within the five year
window for conspiracy prosecution
a short but wildly incomplete list
Anthony Fauci, Peter Daschek
Deborah Birx, Peter Morin
Francis Collins, Rachel Walensky
and I forgot about Mandy Cohen
Walensky's replacement
shown on camera gleefully explaining
how she arbitrarily enforced
COVID lockdowns on the public with no scientific
basis none of these people
for the record benefited from the
flurry of pardons issued by
whoever Biden was in the auto
pen on his way out the door
of course with the exception of Anthony Fauci
and if Fauci's
pardon indeed if it was signed
by an auto pen as it probably was
also highly suspect
other anniversaries
on this date James as Fukushima
memories fade Japan
embraces nuclear powered
future and to I suppose
come full circle like the snake
eating its tail on this new world next week
Vietnam urges people to work from home
to save fuel as
a reand war disrupts supplies
this is all right there
yeah it is all right there
and yes on the COVID note yeah
I mean I want to
say no surprise that of course
no prosecutions have happened
but remember remember guys
Trump is coming back in and Bobby's
there and Mahas in the ascendant the
prosecutions are about to start no
no they are not there is no justice
there is only just us
has been observed
and on the Fukushima note just to
put the capper or is it the shoes on
the robber us snake episode
yeah it has been a remarkable
thing to watch I remember 15 years
ago when obviously the events of
Fukushima ignited a
huge anti nuclear movement here
and people were out literally out on the streets
protesting I covered some of that
and what
has resulted well now 15 years later
it's like no we we definitely need
energy and we're importing too much of it
start throwing the new plants back on
and that is exactly what's happening
so it's been a remarkable thing to
witness and we'll
see where it goes from here and hard
to believe that was 15 years ago but here we are
here we are
and 311 is no shortage of other
interesting giant anniversaries
that the
Madrid bombings and others
the only people
James the only people we've seen prosecuted
because of covid
were the people busted scamming
the scam money that they were
out to everybody you hear these little
little regional conspiracies someone
miss spent all the covid money they got
which again it's a scam so everything
downhill from it was a scam as well
let's not forget the other people prosecuted
of course those handful of heroes
we heard about giving out saline
shots instead of
the deadly MAGAJABS
we run new world next
week dot com for
monarchy gear for Corbett gear for
DVDs James
I've been watching a lot of
world war documentaries and so even what
you say there about Japan
to look now in 2026 is like
holy moly it's
as sad as it is to say
world war history is
kind of the
history of the world or at least for the last
100 maybe 200 or so years
really fascinating things may
you live in interesting times they
threatened us with and I also
get the exclusive audio of these
new world next week episodes I play them on
my monarchy radio before they are published
anywhere and you can access that
at media monarchy dot com slash
listen James that is new world next week episode

he said his Friday
employee at the
big frog shop there
called in on him
so he was having to like
run his kids to school
and the race over to the shop

where did that go
but anyway
let's run some funny shit
um
and I may just
keep this short
we might go
for an extended
hike this morning
and that sounds like fun
where did you go
hmm oh well
um
start maybe
over here
I know this will
I know this will help some of you
I know it will
yes sir what's happening right now
here we go
unmuted there we go
hey how's it going man
crazy day
a little bit a little bit it's all good
what's new it happens
it happens
just on the drone watch
dude
I don't know man
I am less
afraid of
Iranian
ships
than I am
my own government
or the state
of Israel
I'm looking for the old Wiley Coyote
missile where they just ride on it
right
like Sharpie
right acme
it says acme in Farsi
yeah
I learned
this week
that
Johnny Carson's last
TV appearance ever
was on the David Letterman show
yeah
reading off the
top 10
and nobody saw it coming
well right up to that point it was so easy
I could host it
alright tonight's top 10 list from the home office
in Sioux City, Iowa
oh this is not the list
Johnny can I have the top 10 list
oh wow he put Johnny at his desk
dang
Dave sits in the guest seat
alright
oh heck yeah
look at that 90s TV audience
oh that's great
that was beautiful
you got to love the
sweater vest around the waist
oh god dude the White House Twitter account
is
fucking
the worst thing I've ever seen
yeah
every time
they outdo themselves
this is how they're partying at Mar-a-Lago
this is what I'm thinking yeah
looks like a nightmare
oh this is the villages
that's right
yeah
this room's full of men
of paws
up here
there's lots of CPAP
machines
oh that's good
oh lord
wow
in the cartoon where they got to see the lucky Larry
it's probably been news for a while
I just came across it with the LA building
that's hilarious
yeah
there's lots of people that are like hey
if you work at the US bank building
maybe
quit
maybe just quit
that's the one that got blown up in
Independence Day
yeah
a check on top
and like
yeah
it used to be a different bank building
it's like a big cigar shaped
cylinder building
and it's the US bank building now
and lucky Larry Silverstein
maybe we will get the Independence Day
they'll mix Project Bluebeam
with the Iranians teamed up with some
aliens
cause we pissed them off
right
yeah
but somehow we'll be able to retaliate
on boots on the ground to win
so I remember
being
being told in the 90s
that like
celebrities got
paid huge money
to go over to Japan
and do commercials
and
that nobody from the US
knew it
they could go over there and they could do cigarette commercials
and get paid a bunch of money
and they couldn't
do cigarette commercials on TV anymore
and stuff like that
so this is a little collection
of
Japanese commercials
from the 90s
oh this is great
so
you're twins
no
weird shablets
oh this isn't the collection god damn it
now they just go to
Dubai to get money
oh yeah well not anymore
no that's true I take that
a little bit harder
yeah that's true
gotta be dodgy
because I've seen several with like
uh
Artie Arnold Schwarzenegger
oh nice
let's see
hi
how does this one just
Jesus come on
I hate it when it's actual commentary
over the fucking
oh yeah we don't need the
NAR
DH1 crap
NAR
oh man I do have a
sound drop of teal
uh
calling Chuck the double N
oh that's great
I'm glad you clipped that
Indy took care of that
oh that's good
sometimes I
yeah nice
yeah
she got like
right maybe not at that point
yeah maybe not true
it was a wild bag
it was
poor Brittany
run
a foul of the law again
yeah jeez
yeah
let's see
oh this is Sammy Davis
oh yeah
whoa we're the
having a sound
that's just Sammy in his kitchen
Samui here
hot noodle
art noodle
right
okay where you going
there you go
yeah
oh MJ
yeah
for Sony
oh wow
yeah
oh that's great
it's a Sony
yeah
it's a Sony
um that's great
that's great
oh that's so good
right
yes
Sammy the Satanist
Selling Spirits
down by the seashore
in Japan so pretty much
everywhere you are is down by the seashore
kind of hard to not be
yeah
you know
I
am a fan
of Mike Lindell
and his pillows
um
but it seems like they crack the code
with uh with this one
oh boy
I saw this going in a whole other direction
it got close
it didn't
go in a JD Vance direction
that would have been the whole couch
that's how his arms are
shaped on the couch
easy
but yes it definitely would have been the whole couch
Elon's got a lot of those
right
this is accurate
yep
accurate
very accurate spot on
right
I could find it
but uh yeah I saw something too
where the first time
and how long like Honda actually lost money
this year so
I was like hey there's a
pretty clear sign of people saying
economy isn't crap
right
not good at Honda's losing money
no
I
I don't know
JD named this pillow Erica
there's like a
new Skywalker princess
Leia thing going on there
a little bit
yeah
anything
now alright here we go
um oh fuck
you thing
why did you do the opposite
of what I wanted you to do
that's not
friendly
here we go
General Muhammad
have arrived in Los Angeles
and oh yes
these say shit
oh man
I think our North Korean allies
have already attacked
forget bombs we need
to drop some aid
you know what guys
I don't even feel good about this anymore
like let's just
like
why kick people while they're down
you know what I'm saying
oh that's great
I fucking love it
oh that's good
so true
um oh that's good
yeah I'm not sure
why the Vatican's biggest telescope
is named Lucifer
but
uh that is
weird and I know that like the Vatican
has one of the oldest observatories
in the world
that's weird and why do they have a telescope
like
uh yeah kind of
weird right
yeah let's name it Lucifer
they're trying to
they're trying to map the firmament
duh
do you think
um let's see
shout out to this dude
I uh
I wish I could do this
with one color at once
let alone
two colors at once
oh
oh what
you're right
show off
damn that's impressive
yeah
had you ever seen a cocking gun like that
in the intro before
I thought that was crazy
I will absolutely
I will absolutely take
at least one of those
you can't tell you how many of those I broke
on job sites over the year
every fucking time
it's for Dave
what the fuck
fucking black screen
put a fucking dog in there
right
that's just unnecessary tiddy
me at that point
yeah
yeah that's a success of
Dave's like would
all of it just all of it
would
oh that's good shit
let's see
if anyone who is currently
watching the show right now
is a real estate agent
I don't know
oh great
I can help you do that I'm a realtor
oh cool what is it that you do
I contact the sellers realtor
and then they contact the seller
and then the seller tells the realtor what they want to do
and then I tell you oh yeah
I could probably just go do that
technically but
you wouldn't have the power to negotiate
what negotiating are you doing because I literally give you a number and then that's all I can tell you
I can get you something
for free oh that's exciting let's do that
well not in this case but
oh yeah okay well I think I'll just talk to the seller
whoa whoa whoa
no no no you need a realtor
like legally
no but I have
an expertise oh okay
what do you advise
well um
I think you I think you should go buy a house
from that guy
wait wait wait
there's another bid
what yep there's another bid
you have to come up higher how do you know that
realtors talk to other realtors
but this has been on the market for a month
with nothing and then all of a sudden there's a bid right when I want to bid
that's a great point
that's real estate for you it's the market
is you know and
and it's you're gonna have to bid higher
but I already told you how much money I can spend
yeah well then the other bidder is gonna get it
who is the other bidder I can't say
what did they bid I can't say are they even a real person
I can't say
okay what if they bid lower then I would just be bidding higher
for no reason okay
counter argument it'd be safer
if you bid more
now
can I ask you a question shoot
how do you get paid on commission for the price of the house
so if I bid more you get more
correlation not causation
sounds like causation to me
did you want the house or not because it's gonna go quick
shoot okay yes yes
bid more great it's yours
just like that yes
so I wanted I had the highest bid sure
yeah and I'll take my check for $50,000
please that's what you get paid
for four minutes of work
this is a scam I got
scammed oh no don't worry you don't pay me
the seller does so he got scammed
oh definitely
is that why you will have Range Rollers
I gotta get my real estate license
mm-hmm
highly highly accurate
oh yeah especially nowadays with all the
apps you can look at any fucking house
you want right
yeah before they used to be able to hide their listings
you know they're like only we have the listings
mm-hmm
and now it's like yeah what the fuck do you do
that is uh
right shockingly accurate
that is one of the the instances
where I don't mind the robots
taking the jobs
mm-hmm yeah don't have to pay
fucking 15% commission
yeah
to have somebody get in the way
of you buying a house
mm-hmm yeah
mm-hmm
well it is Friday the 13th
so
happy Friday the 13th everybody
oh that's great
have a happy Friday the 13th everyone
heck yeah
and a happy birthday to my kid
oh right on happy birthday
the shittiest age possible
20 years old
yes
mm-hmm
that's a terrible age
yeah you're not a teenager
but you can't
but you're not officially an adult
yeah yeah
that was not fun
right
everything after 21 sucks anyway
seems like
28 maybe
yeah that's true
I don't know man I'm still having fun
I'm having a good time
I always feel younger than what I
look in the mirror I'm good
right I feel young
mm-hmm
tell my kids tell me how old I am
right
oh yeah this is kind of not
not on what we're talking about but
on one of those clips earlier
in the intro with
the data centers trying to offer
money it made me think
just how cheap those assholes are too
because I mean still a lot of money for
60 grand an acre
but over here this was
I mean
15 20 years ago at least
where we used to live out in the country
my folks just on the other side
the road was the urban growth boundary
so all these developers are trying to buy
everyone's farms
and they were offering 500,000
an acre half an acre
per half acre
and I was like
so these data centers have probably
quadrupled the money those
real estate bros do
they're going cheap
assholes
small ball
yeah
I have no memory
of this show ever existing
uh
but if anybody does
