Hot like gouch and I'm chained to the couch and my brain spits bad ideas that I would mouth like a thousand words
Circuits burst, crowd screaming here comes the hearse and I'm jumping now out of my chest as the crowd begins to scream
Wine always wed into the bar rooms to drink away the dreams and I can hear it
Years worth of traffic outside on that dirty street
I can see the lights turned from red to black to blue to brown to green
I've been staring for so long, eyes begin to bleed
Yes, I've been staring for so long, eyes begin to bleed
When I was young, one told me I left my rights at the door and as I grow older this comes tomorrow and more
Now I'm just staring at that open door
I should be screaming but I ain't got no tears no more
Ain't got no tears, ain't got no tears no more
Yes, I lost a few things dear to me
Arms, legs, bodies so well to speak
Sliding fast towards that ocean floor beneath
I'm trying to knock the drag done though by the waves in the weeds
Rain on the roof, click together so soon like a tailor made soup
Pull aim, click bang, saw and shoot
The rain and the wind they lick my skin till it's freezing smooth and they
Heel over years of a thousand bloody wounds, oh yes they
Heel over years of a thousand bloody wounds
When I was young, one told me I left my rights at the door and as I grow older this comes tomorrow and more
Now I'm just staring at that open door
I should be screaming but I ain't got no tears no more
Ain't got no tears, ain't got no tears no more
Wow, we got another one over there
Let's do high on the mountain and then I'd like to do you one that we have on our new CD, okay?
It's down below, they were green just as far as I could see
And for you and the day that used to be
How's the man dog when blown free?
Thinking about the day that used to be
How's the man dog standing all alone
Wondering where the use of my life has come
If you ever think of me
Or if time has brought it out your memory
As I listened to the breeze which sped it into the trees
Oh, it cherries what you meant to me that used to be
How's the man dog standing all alone
Wondering where the use of my life has come
For the days that used to be
How's the man dog standing all alone
Wondering where the use of my life has come
Well back in 1953 we were riding high on victory
But the Cold War was getting colder all the time
There's many ways to fight a war
But it gets dirty more and more
The powers of fear are thinking outside the line
So the boys down at the CIA were getting curious one day
Thinking of ways to get a leg up on the Reds
Through manipulation and experimentation
They thought they could save the nation
By taking citizens and messing with their heads
So they rounded up some volunteers
But the volunteers had no idea
They were about to be turned into laboratory rats
They were unwitting participants
In the government experiments
And they wouldn't be the same after that
They got those MK Ultra Blues
Those MK Ultra Blues
I don't know what happens
I guess we'll see when we give these soldiers LSD
And lock them in a room for a spell
Maybe they'll tell no lies
Maybe they'll be hypnotized
Maybe they'll just think that they're in hell
The thing about mind control
Eventually it takes its toll
Can often have the opposite effect
People don't like to be misled
Especially if it's by the feds
It's a type of thing that can make you lose respect
Well sometimes subjects came real easy
In the door come old Ken Keese
Ready to see some universal truth
He was flying over the cuckoo's nest
Taking the Kool-Aid acid test
I believe he was successful in his pursuit
I don't want those MK Ultra Blues
Those MK Ultra Blues
Some people's minds were blown
And other people's minds were shown
There's more to this here life than meets the eye
A peek behind the cosmic veil
Visions from beyond the pale
A doorway to a different kind of life
So the drug they couldn't weaponize
Was a failure in some people's eyes
But was decidedly successful for some
What the CIA could not predict
Is people trying to get their kicks
Taking LSD just for fun
It's a lesson to the powers that be
Don't be messing with people's reality
Making us forget who we are
Psychological manipulation is hard on a population
And people can only be pushed so far
I don't want those MK Ultra Blues
Those MK Ultra Blues
I want to watch the news
Are you making headway?
Walker, thank you very much
What's happening everybody? Good morning
Good afternoon
Good evening, wherever you are
Wherever you're hanging out
Jay, wake up
Okay, there is no need for that name
You bitch!
You got a second one
That's what my family's murdered by the CIA, Steve
Won't you fax that thing up?
Y'all talking about eating house in here
Why are you talking about eating house in here?
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 serious things
Y'all talking about eating the booze
Why should nip it in the bud?
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 to sum a little more than a gun
No, I'm not joking
Think about this
Taxation is felt
Oh, god damn it, motherfucker
I love you guys, we'll see you soon
Good luck to us all
But wait, there's more
July 13th
Here it is
2026
What's happening, y'all?
Welcome to Monday
Golly, there's a lot to talk about
And when there's a lot to talk about
You bring along a guy who talks a lot
So Keith McHenry will be joining us
Before too long
If not around the second hour
A little bit earlier
We'll find out
Looking forward to that a lot
Keith has a new book out
It's called Soup Street
And it's his memoir that he started
Writing 25 years ago
That he just got around to publishing
So I'm looking forward to it
And I hope you guys
Go and support Keith
Grab that
Share it with friends
And leave it in random public places
Along with other key literature
The Flot cameras are taking a pounding
Speaking of taking a pounding
Lindsey Graham passed away
There's a lot to talk about today
There really is
Before we get into any of that
It is Monday
We usually like to start off
A little bit of jokes
So also
Good morning to everybody listening
To us over at groundzeroplus.com
Try to be more mindful
Of the fact that you guys are
Audio-only audience
Still gonna fuck up, by the way
Still gonna fuck up
But try to be more mindful
We'll get there
Anyway, here's Tim Dillon
When they chant death to the United States
Again with the chanting
They have no compunction about using these weapons
Right, alright
That's what they're gonna do when they chant
They're gonna chant the chemical weapons
Into the country, by the way
With the chanting
This is the craziest thing I've ever heard
He's like, you hear what they chant
By the way, you know what they chant
Like soccer games?
They chant all kinds of...
Is this the standard of proof now?
Is that the line that can't be crossed
Is chanting death to America?
What do you mean we can't handle
Death to America?
We can't handle people chanting
Death to America?
I take more shit on that in comments
Like, this is crazy
And so does anyone who's on the internet
This is what we're doing
They're chanting death to America
I mean
Imagine your kid dies in Iran
And you're telling someone
Yeah, it was a tough loss
But they were chanting
Death to America
We had to show them
You can't do that
So I know my kid's dead
But you know
No more chanting
What do you think they're gonna chant now?
By the way
If you wanted to eliminate their chanting
If that was the goal
What do you think killing their spiritual leader did?
You think they'd chant it after that?
I don't know
What would be a good place to chant?
I don't know
A large state funeral
Of a spiritual leader that we whack
They wanted a war
I bet there's some chants getting going
It's almost like you want the chants
You do
The chanting
Is part of the whole
Bloodlust death cult ritual thing
You can't really be in a death cult
Without a lot of chanting
So when people go
USA
Just blindly
While a politician is foaming at the mouth
About which country we're gonna bomb next
Or who needs to be overthrown
Or why Pete Hegseth is a totally sober
Competent secretary of war
They're trying to get you to participate
In the ritual
And a lot of people do
It's one of
One of America's favorite pastimes
One of them
Another is watching footage
Of people shoot guns
Now for the audio only audience
I will provide a breakdown
Of what's happening after the clip
And for everyone else
Well, if you haven't already seen this
I'll just roll it no context
And then we'll get to it
Now, a couple of things
A couple of things
This is a video
Of the Russian military
Who floor-mounted a helicopter machine gun
Looks to be a very decent caliber
And what happens when you do that
And look, I don't know
I thought the Russians were
Pretty competent engineers
But the problem with that
Is that when you try to floor-mount
A helicopter gun
This is what
Yak B-12
12.7 helicopter gun
What happens when you do that
Is
It's a whole lot of force
That's pushing a dude
In a particular direction
It's not supposed to be floor-mounted
It's not
It's supposed to kind of be
Dangling a little bit
Off the helicopter
It's a bad idea
You should not do that
Do not recommend
Zero out of ten
The soldier that was standing next to him
Again, for the audio only audience
What had happened was
Yuri or whatever the poor Shmuck's name
In the Russian army there
That was behind the machine gun
Whatever his name was
Lex, we'll call him
He didn't know that you're not supposed to floor-mount that
So he's on it like he would be a regular
Floor-to-vehicle-mounted
Even boat-mounted machine gun
Where you know how much play you're going to get roughly
And he wasn't expecting like
700 plus pounds of force
To go swing him in a particular direction
So for a few brief moments there
He was, look
Remember when you were a kid
And there was a little merry-go-round
It was made out of metal
And it was 195 degrees
When the sun hit it
And so you didn't really want to sit on it
Because you were going to burn the crap
Out of the bottom of your legs
Back of your legs there
And the only thing you could really do
Was you and a few friends
Grabbed a hold of one of the side-arms
Ran around as fast as you could
To see if you could throw somebody
And sometimes you would jump on
But the only thing that would really be touching
The merry-go-round would be your feet
And you just kind of lean back into it
Trying to watch one of your buddies
Go fly about 15 feet
That's exactly what happened
To the Russian army porshmuk
Behind the turret
He merry-go-rounded did did
Until the inevitable thing happened
Where you merry-go-flying
And that's what he did
It only took a moment
But boy
Was it close because for
A handful of ticks
Not even a full second or two
He had his finger on the trigger
Fully automatic
Large caliber machine gun
Meant to be shot from a helicopter
And so the instructor
Or a superior officer
Or buddy
Don't know
That was standing next to him
Very close to being eliminated there
Hopefully he was smart
And he rolled towards the machine gun
And the base of it
Because the likelihood of it doing that
Was pretty slim
Goodness
That'll
Keep you up at night for a little bit
Let's see
All right, you guys know that
Or way perhaps I'll do
Perhaps I'll do something a little bit different first
Since we are going to be
Spending a bit of time
On the
Stepping on a rainbow
Of a good old-fashioned war criminal
Let's go ahead and
Check in with
Donald Trump's two-day war
That totally obliterated everything
That was left of Iran's military
After already having obliterated
Iran's nuclear program
In July of last year
And because the Trump administration
Successfully
Yo, annihilated
Iran's entire nuclear program
We went to war with them almost a year later
Because they were posing
The world's greatest nuclear threat
Now I know that may seem
Like it doesn't make sense
But that's because it was an extortion operation
And also
Part of a death cult ritual
On paper
You can't just come out and say that
Even though they kind of do every now and then
Especially with all of the market manipulation
That Donald Trump does at an insane pace
Week after week after week
Even CNN has a compilation
Of him manipulating the market
Like 39 times and that's
Almost a month old now
Um
Ugh, good lord
Anyway, let's check in
With the Strait of Hormuz
And also
Antiwar.com
How we looking? How we looking?
Oh, the Iranian authority says
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed
As the U.S. continues strikes
Well that's
That's the opposite of
We
Delta the, what?
The Muslim devils
That's what Kushner
And everyone in the Trump administration
Down the Laura, crazy Larry Loomer
Anyway
Iran has reaffirmed that
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed
All traffic despite U.S. claims to the contrary
And U.S. airstrikes against the country
Which continued on Sunday
Due to recent unlawful movements
By United States military forces
In the region
Transit through the Strait of Hormuz
Is currently not possible
As soon as stability and calmer restored
All requests will be reviewed
According to scheduling and the necessary
Permits will be issued
Look, if you'd just stop blowing us up
We could get back to good old fashioned
Bureaucracy and who doesn't love that?
Who's not a huge fan
Making sure the necessary
Permits will be issued
Also on Sunday U.S. Sencom
Insisted that the Strait of Hormuz was open
Said that U.S. forces are positioned
To prepare to ensure the freedom of navigation
Remains available despite unwarranted
Rating aggression, harassment, threats
And arbitrary declarations
Iran does not control the Strait
Quick thought, maybe we should go over
To the Strait of Hormuz monitor
Dot com real quick, oh, closed
Closed
Golly
They are letting 21 ships
Transit over the last 24 hours
Which is about a third
Little bit over of what a normal day's
Traffic would be 285
Vessels
Waiting
34 ships, apparently now
Over the last 24 hours
War risk insurance down
From last week
Where it was 53.3 times
Over the normal rate
Now a mere 23.3 times
Over the normal rate
Of Hormuz Strait insurance
Transiting
The memorandum of understanding
By the way, said to expire
On what, that would be
Well, July 18th
So right as the World Cup final
Is being played
War officially back on
Man, I bet they're glad they locked in
Those jacked up, priced, inflated
Plane tickets back when they did
Because I can't imagine what it would cost
To just
Try to book a flight to Europe right now
That's got to be crazy
So, oh, let's, we should go back to
Back to the anti-war dot com
Particle, bring this back up
Iranian media posted
That Ron Kashem Island was
Targeted with up to 11 enemy projectiles
And the U.S. official told Axios
Reporter Barak Ravid, who has
Consistently lied throughout
This entire situation
Barak Ravid has been caught
Making up quotes
Printing all kinds of crazy shit
And they just let him because
He's Axios' mouthpiece
For the Trump administration
But yeah, U.S. had conducted a few strikes
On missile and air defense system
As well as IRGC small boats
A couple of locations around
The Strait of Hormuz
So, yeah, sure, the memorandum
Of understanding says don't shoot
Stuff at them, but we only
Shot a little bit of stuff at them
It's just some stuff
Some stuff
Is not, you know, violation
Of the MOU because it's really not war
It's just, ah, we're slap-fighting
And not the Dana White cop
It's just, you know, there's a little tickle fight
A little tickle fight, couple of missiles
Later on Sunday, CENTCOM announced
It was launching yet another round
Of strikes against Ron
And a U.S. official told
The New York Times that it would be
A bigger round of attacks
Than those conducted earlier in the day
Which, you know, okay, that goes from
A tickle fight to maybe like a little
Slappy-slappy
Strikes came after Iranian forces
Launched retaliatory strikes
Targeting U.S. bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain
And Oman following U.S. bombings
That hit Iran on Saturday
Warned last week that it would close
The strait to all traffic
If the U.S. continued bombing the country
U.S. framed its airstrikes
As a response to drone attacks on the commercial ships
Attempting to cross the strait without coordinating
With Ron
The Iranian officials have maintained
That the U.S. Iran memorandum of understanding
Established that Tehran is solely
Responsible for traffic
With the express written consent
Of major league baseball
Through the waterway that any other
Arrangements violate the agreement
Now, the MOU and the ceasefire
Between the U.S. and Iran have collapsed
The U.S. goal appears to be
To force Iran to open the strait by bombing
The country, which totally
Worked last time, so
That's why it's still open
On Friday, U.S. officials told
The Associated Press that the U.S.
Was demanding Iran publicly
Declare the strait was open
Mount Tehran has clearly rejected
U.S. officials are trying to portray
The attacks on ship and stance
On the strait as the work of rogue
Factions within the Iranian government
You guys, you bombed
The funeral
Well, not the literal funeral, but you bombed
During the funeral
Of the Khomeini
Right after you said
You weren't gonna do it
Right?
You've said over and over
That Iran has no government
It's in shambles, so what rogue
Factions
Are you talking to?
But an Iranian
Official speaking to
Pierre Omidyar's
Protégé and
Purveyor of classic
Honeypot journalism schemes
Jeremy Scahill said
The narrative was a disinformation campaign
This wasn't random
It was a very deliberate and coordinated
Media campaign designed to pressure us
Into changing our decision
We had already told the Qatari's
And Omani's about our firm
A final decision Iran will not allow
Anyone to disrupt our security
And oversight management of the Strait of Hormuz
The United States
Like
Has lost this thing
On every conceivable level
By every metric
Especially
If we go by
What the Trump administration
Has said was happening
And what the goals were
It's supposed to come in threes
Blue G
It's supposed to come in threes
And
I'm sure we'll get into this a little bit too
As of now
No confirmation
Of Mitch McConnell's death
They did put out this picture
Of him in the Bob Evans
Waitress
Shirt
And blue jeans
In a hospital bed
Because that's
What you do in a hospital bed
And his wife was there
The lovely Ms. Elaine Chao
One of the largest drug trafficking
Mafia families in China
They put this out
Turns out they put out the exact same picture
In 2023
And they just changed
Some of the background details
They put
A fake headline
On the newspaper
That he had good stuff
Good stuff
But
No official confirmation
The speculation around that
Of course being
If they announced that Mitch McConnell
Is dead before
August 3rd
Then Thomas Massey
Could run for the open
Senate seat and they don't want that
They don't want that
They would rather weekend at Bernie's
Senate majority leader
Good times
But back to
The U.S. losing this thing with Ron
Is the
If you've been here for any length of time
You guys know that the point isn't to win
The point is to launder a bunch of money
And kill off some people
And
Strong arm your way
Into some resource
Acquisition
Via
Extortion and or bombs
On that front
Every objective has been met
But
The war itself
Deeply unpopular
Even
Amongst giant swas of
The quote-unquote Republican party
Or the quote-unquote
Republican base
Whatever that looks like
Whatever it does
Definitely not going great
As far as the
Rhetoric goes
Before I really get into
Lindsay Graham's passing
We talk a lot about
You know not being
Huge fans of the coming
AI apocalypse
We talk about how
Uninspired
Unimagined
A lot of the creations are
Or just how it's
A vessel for
You know
Boomer
Fantasy
Ripped Donald Trump
Flying in on an eagle
Two freaking
ARs in his hand
While
Freebird or Rocky like a hurricane
Or something like that is blasting
In the background
There's also the
Why everybody hates this
Side of AI
And 404 media
Shout out to those guys
They do great work
They've been having fun with
Just how godawful
AI flyers are
So
People around have
Submitted some
Good Lord
Once you notice a chat GPT flyer
You'll see them everywhere
If you keep your eyes open
Yeah, these are
Just
Just terrible
These are also
Very very very prolific
Yeah
Terrible
Viral snacks
Exotic snacks
With just random mannequin
With booty shorts in it
Sure
I do have to admit
That the
AI flyers
Are absolutely
Godawful
And you should mock them
Whenever you see them
You should and you should shame
The people for
Making such
Hackey
Hackey flyers
Good Lord
The
Skunthorpe
Are right
Fantastic
Now it's the
The death of creativity
It's the death of
Yeah
All
Personal cognitive
Ownership
You're outsourcing
Absolutely everything
It's ridiculous
And there's people that
There's people that suggest
It'll make smart people smarter
And dumb people dumber
And I do see some of the logic to that
But
It'll make smart people more
Devious
Maybe the better way to put that
Ah
Let's see where did that go
There it is
But I mean you gotta
You gotta take
Add to that
That as people's
Critical thinking is being outsourced
That as
All
Creative
Or intellectual
Origin points
In humanity
Get
Dumped into this vast
AI mixer
Of
Differing
Concepts
And churns out
Just the worst garbage
As that happens
The way that people
Seek attention
The way that people are
Going to try
To make any kind of
Living online
The quality of that
The more you rely on these tools
And the more that these tools are presented as
You know
Something everyone needs
It
The
The gnarlier it's gonna get
Let's go back to Tim Dillon for a moment
He had this to say
About
The future of online
Influencers
And what growing up in that culture
From
Zero to now has done to people
Most children in our country
Right now are sociopaths
Truly
Most of them are full on
Sociopaths
They're nihilists
They were raised on the internet
They're digitally native
They've been exposed to extreme violence
And porn
And also extremely violent porn
They are unfeeling
Uncaring
Just
Merchants of death
And I don't mean to upset people
Who love their children out there
Because I know there's a lot of people out there that go
But not
Tommy
Yes, Tom
They are unfeeling
They are blankslates
They are
Incredibly dangerous
And
They need to be dealt with
And we need to realize the problem
We need to understand
That we've created
And I say this not to be dramatic
Your children
We've created an army
Of robotic
Cloud chasing
Killing machines
That are using every opportunity
And every tool at their disposal
To inflict pain on each other
And society
For clicks
That's what we've got
Let's not sugarcoat it
We don't have a bunch of young, hopeful people out there
They're going to turn things around
We got a bunch of demonic
Monstrous
Black-eyed
Nihilistic
Vampires
Cloud chasing
Running around
And we need to figure out something for them to do
And I'm not for the draft
And I'm not for just
But
We need jobs for these
Fuckers to do
We've demonized
In this country
Child labor
And it was the biggest
Mistake that we ever
Made
We demonized children working
What a fucking mistake
Oh, that's funny
I mean, but, you know, kinda
Kinda, I
I will say this, dude
My now
20-year-old had his first paycheck job
When he was
15
And
Been working
Ever since
And
Doesn't run around
Doing a bunch of dumb shit
What Tim was talking about
In that context
Were the teen
Takeovers
Where hundreds of kids just show up
To a spot and terrorize it
And
There were a couple of lady cops
That got jumped
And got the crap kicked out of them
There were
Other officers
That got injured
And
I even have an additional
Tim Dilling clip about it
Maybe we can bring that up
As
You guys may
Have
Heard
Uh
Senator Lindsey Graham
Uh
Passed away
Over the weekend
Uh
At his
DC residents
Perhaps his South Carolina residents
Uh
Perhaps obliterated in a Russian
Missile strike
On a Ukrainian drone facility
Because he was
Dumb enough to
Post a picture from it
Immediately giving away
His location
After being warned
That his presence at that particular facility
Might prompt
Uh in fact
Missile strikes
Um that could have
Also happened
Uh I'm sure we'll get into it
I'm sure we will
Um but
Um let's see
Uh I do have
I think a preliminary
Preliminary cause
Of death
Revealed and look dude
This is you know straight news not
I'm not doing a bit
Um this is from ABC
Let's take a listen here real quick
A preliminary report from the medical
Examiner in DC says that
Long time South Carolina Senator
Lindsey Graham likely died of aortic
Dissection. Graham had
Just returned to Washington from a trip
Over to Ukraine. Flags at the
White House and Capitol were lowered to half
Staff in honor of the senator. Graham
Was first elected to the U.S. Senate in
2002. He was known as a foreign
Policy hawk and was a leading voice
For the unwavering U.S.
Support for Israel and Ukraine
He even ran for president in 2016
A race for the Republican nomination
Eventually won by Donald Trump
Junior U.S. Senator Tim Scott
From South Carolina, paid tribute to
His late colleague on CBS's
Face the Nation earlier today
Yeah, okay
Uh don't care about you Tim Scott
Okay, Lindsey Graham
Uh tragic
Tragic
Um
Let's
Let's run down some
Highlights
Uh of
Exactly
Who and what
Lindsey Graham was
Um
You know aside from the obvious
Yeah, let's let's
Let's run
Through some of Lindsey Graham's
Greatest hits
Fact let's go back to
When he was just a
A young
Impressionable
Happy-go-lucky
Uh Navy man
Recently
Elected
To the Senate
They're in
Lovely beautiful South Carolina
Uh
It possesses and produces
Chemical and biological weapons
It is seeking nuclear weapons
I believe that Saddam Hussein
Is beginning giving aid and comfort
Training and assistance to Al-Qaeda
Murderers that he has weapons
Of mass destruction he is lying
When he says he doesn't and he will never
Voluntarily disarm
500 inspectors 5,000
Inspectors not going to make him disarm
He is a danger to our country and the world
He has killed his own people and you're
Not going to disarm him but
Diplomacy is going to take force
Now if you'll excuse me I have
To go get back in audition for American
Idol
He really
Does look like he's about ready to break out
Into a show tune here this is
Lindsey Graham from 2003
23 years
He would have been
54 in that picture
Uh
His makeup artist
Working
Over time
That's crazy
Uh
Let's see
Now let's jump forward
Immediately
Because when somebody
Passes away
The media of course goes into
Uh
Like a uh
Well really a foot race
To see who can
Lionize whatever
War criminal
Uh
Sex past
Pedophile
Um
Ladybug collector
That they can and in this case
You know you especially
If you're
A well known public figure
You want to go for
The big guys
When you're going to try to memorialize
You know one of the longest
Serving douche bags
In the entire federal government
Like Lindsey Graham
So who do you go to other than
The president of the united states
Benjamin Milikowski
This is something it's hard to believe
You know but we were we were receiving
American support military aid
And you know we we've done this through
Successive presidents we did it with
The first one was with
Clinton and then it was
With Obama and then with
Trump sort of a 10 year MOU
Memorandum of understanding where
America gives Israel much
Valued support
That's a memorandum of understanding
The united states doesn't seem to have a problem
With sticking to giving Israel
Tons of aid and support
Weapons money and stuff like
That they can
Honor that memorandum of
Understanding but when it comes to the one with
Iran they're like now we're just going to
Shoot you and Israel is going
To take more territory
In southern Lebanon because
This is broadly speaking
More
About the greater
Israel project than it is
Anything that we ever said that
Had to do with Iran let's
Let's you know let that
Go to the wayside for a moment
We're mourning a
Great statesman here
Now I
When I did this when I negotiated
This I said okay
This is what we need we don't need anymore
You said yes you do I said
Lindsay we don't need
Anymore and he would
Tell me no I'm going to go
Over your head to the senate
Because I think you need more on
Missile defense or whatever okay
And I think once or twice he got his way
But let me tell you
The last conversation I had with
Them I said Lindsay
We've come of age we have
A robust economy
We can take care of
Our own financing
Our own weapons for the defense
Of Israel
Thanks for
The
400 billion
And fighting our wars
For the last
50 years
And for
Allowing us to
Turn your country into
Our military
With
With what is that
The particular
Addition to the NDAA
Thanks for that
We no longer need you
That's a good friend
That's what good friends do
I've taken
Everything that I possibly can
From you your country is in
Absolute shambles
Working abouts
Will lose this fucking number
That's what good friends do
Alright baby
Any other words of
I guess support
And so our common interest with America
So I'm going to phase out
The support
The military support for Israel
Because you've joined
The militaries
See that's
The scam
Hey look we don't have to send
All these weapons
And all of this money to
Israel anymore because they've
Already become part of the
Budget
And Pete Hegseth
And the small government
Conservatives in Washington
Have raised the military budget
To one and a half trillion
Dollars
For this coming
What do you think the military budget is going to look like
When it's our military
Funding Israel's military
More directly
Than we have been
What an absolute
Disingenuous
Murder goblin
Over
A period of years and bring it down to zero
We can do it
And he went ballistic
He said no way
You can't do that because he was so
Concerned
With our security which he believed
Was your security that he actually
Fought the prime minister of Israel
On keeping America's aid
Or actually increasing it
And that tells you what kind of a person
This extraordinary
Extraordinary friend was
Wow so
Not only did
Lindsey Graham
Love Israel so much
That he
He was willing to
Stand up to
Nay fight
The prime minister of Israel
Benjamin Milikowski
Over
His ability
Lindsey Graham's ability to hand
Taxpayer money directly to
Benjamin Netanyahu
Normally
How that would play out is that
Lindsey would get dressed in one of those
Furry dog outfits
And then he would just kind of hide
Stacks of cash in the costume
And then
He would
You know
I guess
Cantor
Into
Bibi Milikowski's office
And
He would let Bibi go find the money
No longer able to do that
But here on the show
And able to discuss this
With us back
For
I don't know how many times Keith has been on
He's been on the show a lot. We love him
The co-founder
Of Food Not Bombs
The
Legendary
Keith McHenry. What's happening man? How's it going?
It's really interesting. I was just listening to
Thanks Corbett's interview
Of Larry Sanger about
The corruption
Of Wikipedia
Which is currently being used against me again
So it's like pretty interesting
I'm being counseled that looks like
From what
Was like a really huge event
At the University of Victoria
But I'm getting the impression
That they're smearing me
For being like
I can't go there and talk about
The history of Food Not Bombs
Or fact I've been an anarchist
Since
Over 50 years
And I have some information
Because I wrote a letter
Made a flyer in Santa Cruz
Denouncing
Authoritarian attacks against people
For not complying with the government
Orders
To be vaccinated
So all it was
Traditionally in the past anarchists
Were opposed to government orders
And apparently now
The amount of infiltration
In the anarchist community is
Resulting in that you have to obey
I think they say
It's because we need to care
For the disadvantaged
Which was the psych ops
And it's really a shame because
You know
One after another anarchists
You're not allowed to go to anarchist book fairs
Anymore unless you're masked
At least they got rid of the
That you had to prove vaccination
Like they used to
And the only anarchist
Location here in my town
Santa Cruz
They really frown
On you if you show up
At the really, really free market
Without a mask
They'll give you shit about it
Which is an unfortunate thing
Because we used to be questioning authority
And that was actually the image
On my flyer
The other amazing thing is that flyer
Was just handed out in Santa Cruz
It didn't go anywhere but now it's a part
Of the controversy
Of Wikipedia
And even the Wikipedia entry itself
You know
Talks about me being
You know that the flyer
Is a
You know the comment on authoritarianism
Which used to be
At the core of the anarchist
World, you know
And pretty amazing
And you're considering also
Up until March of 2020
We are
Very much organizing against
Things like Big Pharma
Monsanto was very involved
With the co-author of
The truth about
You know
COVID-19 on the millions against
Monsanto marches and stuff for years and years
You know we were
That kind of thing, it's pretty amazing
That the anarchist community has been
So damaged
By infiltration
And that it's basically
You know
Counseling people and it's really sad
Because I was very excited about this event
And I've been working on it for several years
And
I have no idea if I'm going to
I'm getting the suggestion that I'm not
Welcome
At the opening of my archives
So that is pretty amazing
I hope I'm wrong but
There's a lot of suggestions
That that is the case
And it's the same thing they did
To smear me so that I would not
You know I bought a plane ticket to go to
Boston to talk about the history
Of food not bombs at one of their
Anniversary celebrations and
Somebody came to one of their meetings
No one said who this person was
Or whether they were regular or something
I said oh we saw on Wikipedia
That you published an article
That essentially admitted that
I was not vaccinated right
That's I think from their point of view
What was horrible
Where as the point was
That I was banned from all kinds of
Events and I was physically
Assaulted and thrown on the ground
By Democratic socialists
Of America when I went to
An event where they did
Not advertise you had to prove vaccination
Or wear a mask and I
Thought I was there I went there to support a friend
Of mine but I got assaulted instead
And now we see like
You know I was just funny I was thinking about
This
Hang on how many DSA
Freakin
You know warriors did it take
To throw one Keith McHenry to the ground
Three and if I was going to say
If you don't say eight then you got to go
But we'll say you said eight
Yeah well you know I said
When you tell the story later make sure
It's eight because those guys are weak
They are weak it was really insane
And then a best friend of mine
Was also thrown to the ground
Before I even got there and I had no idea
And sadly Gail
Just passed away
But she was eighty
Eighty three and
Misdiagnosed you know the doctors were
Cool they never told her she had cancer
And then one day they go oh wow your cancer
Is a lot worse today
You know worse than when you never
Mentioned anything the last like
Twenty visits I had with you
You know you might have told me
Like three years ago or whatever
You know this medical
Probably intentional
Misdiagnosis to
You know kill off older Americans
Is really sad
But that's what happened there
And yeah they threw her on the ground
And at the time
She must have been about
I think she was like seventy
Eight or something like that
You know and yeah just
And she would wear a mask because
She was wearing a mask because of
Not for COVID but because
You know she didn't want to get
I don't even know why
She just did for a while
You know and definitely she never
Got injected and laid this through
On the ground
Right I do know a couple
Of people that kind of treated the mask
Like camouflage especially when
They went into Santa Cruz
Yeah just like
Well I mean I could
Technically just pull a balaclava
Over my face and that'd be fine too
Nobody'd care right now as long as
My freaking mouth was covered
Yeah the whole thing is
It's really a tragic and I think
That there are some
People that you know they
Try to say and I have this one
Really dear friend and he
And I are organizing a
Well he came up to me in a
Restaurant or in a
At Abbott Square so you
Will know where that is
And
And this person comes up
With a blue medical mask on
And he must have understood
That I did no idea who this
Person was and he was you know
Coming to me like a friend would
But I couldn't identify who he was
So he pulled the mask off and so I
Could say oh yeah and this has
Happened several times with this
Young man who was a really cool
Person and then the thing that he
Was coming to tell me because
We have this uber fascist
Running for mayor of
Santa Cruz named Ryan
Coonerty and
And I know
So he's been a mayor in the
Past back before it was called
Where the city council
Appoints you as a mayor as
Opposed to be an election and then
He was a county
Supervisor and
Went before he stopped being
A county supervisor
Where he decided not to run
For reelection or whatever happened
He had proposed
With Donna Myers who was
The you know appointed
Mayor of Santa Cruz at the time
That they take the homeless and put
Them on buses and move them to
Camp Roberts out in San Miguel
In a big you know the California
National Guard facility
And then
COVID interrupted that
Apparently and so what they
Then came up with was called
Trios cages and
So what they did is they put these
Cages chain link fences all
Around downtown Santa Cruz
And parking lots and we're
Tempting to force groups
Of about 12 into each trios
Center they got 12 into
The first one but
Then you know we arrived
On the ride with coffee and food
And so on and there was no food
Or water or anything they just had a
Portable toilet in the corner and
Each of these trios things and
And then the other thing that
Was happening right before they
Opened as they were building the
Trios centers the mayor at that
Time Justin Cummings
Who is now on the board of
Supervisors he came to me
Great video at I don't know if
I could find it over again but
Where he's trying to get me to lure
The homeless into these
You know trios cages
And he's saying you know the
Homeless trust you the homeless
Trust you if you lead them into the
Trios cages you know they'll
They'll go there and I'm like
I'm not going to do that but you do
Have this huge building across
The street from me that's empty
That was just constructed
Maybe you could
Put everybody in there how
That's how they got toilets and
Water and everything it's so cool
I remember Justin Cummings
He was the dude with
The barbershop dreadlocks
Who a black guy
Took a knee with the cops
During the whole George Floyd thing
Yeah that was an amazing
Scam to we had
Yeah
No I met him once man he
Came across as one of
The more disingenuous
People that I met in Santa Cruz
California which is
Saying a whole lot
Exactly I remember
He was supposed to be in the
The
Progressive majority right
And when he was running
And the idea was he was going to
Block these high rise
Luxury condos from coming in
So there was going to be the four
Of them and then the very first
Vote for him
Of consequence was to
Vote to not evict
This homeless camp where we were
Working with the fire chief
To make this very safe camp
Called
Ross camp
And
Was featured actually in the major
Media because
Robert jumped the fence one
Time and saved the guys life
In a multi-car crash
And by cutting the seatbelts
Loose before his car
Burst into flames and he was able
You know he was called the homeless hero
You know in ABC news and all that stuff
But anyway so that
There was supposed to be
They were going to evict it and if we had
Four votes
Of which
He would have been the fourth one
To stop the eviction
So that there could be like a sensible
Way of first
The camp being maintained
Which was started to defend
Women who had been
Getting sexually assaulted and raked
Living outside you know this is why
Robert and the others had
Had kind of set this up
And
But not he and we
Had a meeting with them at
Don Lane's
Saturn Cafe
He came like two hours
Three hours later than what we had
Agreed to and we tried to
Convince him that he needed to really vote
This way or people would be harmed
Well he voted against us
They were you know
They
You know then a now city
Counselor lied on the stand
In federal court and attempted to get
Injunction against this saying that
Everybody would get a place to stay
You know but they weren't just
Evicting everybody into the streets
Of course I think
Twenty people got two nights at
Motel Santa Cruz everybody else
Was evicted into the streets and
In fact Desi one of the
Officers of the Santa Cruz
Union of the homeless
Ended up dying as a direct result
When a tree fell on her and
So you know
That was my introduction to the
To just how corrupt
He is and
He's definitely a climber I think
He's going to try to take John
Lear's place and state senate
Or something and you know he just
All about like screw everybody
I'm for myself
And you know that's where
That's where we are and it's kind of
It's really you know a shame
But he did the other thing is
You know when you talk about the knee
He and the chief of police
And the local media
Arranged to
They organized a
George Floyd march
The day before the George
Floyd march that the actual
Community was organizing so that
That they got the photo of the
Chief Mills kneeling
Next to the mayor
You know and
You know and you have the sentinel
Reporter who probably died
Of a turbo cancer from the
Injections unfortunately a very young
Woman who died not long after
Covid and
And so they
They staged this
Thing so then when the rally
Itself happened by real people
Oh and they got this other there's
Another black patsy
You know what you might you know
That does whatever
The you know the ruling class
Needs if they need to have
A person who's black
Represent the entire black
Community of which 90%
Of the entire black community can be found
Have food not bombs in our town
Unfortunately you know they're not
Treated you know there's
You know that
They're definitely neglected and then
But they make a big deal about the
Some stupid kids like
You know
Ruin the black lives matter
Mural and the front of city hall
And that became a giant
I mean look there were
Black people in Santa Cruz county
Period when they put the
Freaked black lives matter mural up
I saw I saw
We went for slow
Newsday and documented
The Santa Cruz black lives
Matter protest there were three
Black people at it
It was
Whatever but it was
Freaking hysterical
There was like
No pepper in the salt pile
All right like it was
It looked like you were
It looked like
Trust fund hippies
Took over
Martha's vineyard
Before the weekend
And the only black people
That were there were the obamas
That's what it looked like
It's just tragic because
The economic situation
Is so
Disturbing for
The black community here
It's really tragic
And what few people
They do prop up a few people
To be the image
Of the black community
And they're very nice people
I mean
That was another thing that happened
In that exact period of time
Was that the
Number of my allies at the
Resource Center for nonviolence
Which was for decades
I mean
Myself and then particularly
My girlfriend Kathleen who was
A staff person
At the San Jose peace and justice center
Back in the 80s
She did a lot of coordination
With the Resource Center for nonviolence
And I remember being in Boston
And going wow we should have something like that
Over here and then unfortunately
Several of the board of directors
Passed away from old age and so on
And now it essentially
Is
I mean thank goodness they still
Allow
Events against the
You know
In support of Palestine because that's been
A mainstay of theirs
From the beginning
And they used to take tours to the west bank
And so on so thank goodness
They do that but any anti-war
Events
Are banned you know
And particularly
You know every time we've had
Tried to even
After the coup
And
In Ukraine
We've had speakers come
From the Donbass who are reporters
And
You know the community would
Book an event to hear this reporter
About the Donbass and the night
It was just like 12
Hours before the event they'd
Counsel it finding out that she
Was not in support of the coup
And then we've had
That a number of times where
Where you're going to have an event
That
Is different than supporting the coup
And you know if you have
If your position is that it was an
Unprovoked invasion by Russia
Then you
Can't speak there so there's no nuance
This is another crazy thing
That freaks me out about the anarchist
Community I have so many
At the time of the shortly after
The coup on May 3rd of
2024
2014 I happened to be seen
Like this
Livestream or like this
Video I don't know if it was exactly
Livestream but shortly after it was
Livestream
The soccer match in Odessa
And half of the stadium
Which turns out to be the Kiev fans
Were going Z Kyle
Z Kyle with you know 20,000
People doing that and then
They marked the video
Follows them marching out into the streets
And they marched down to
This
You know put this
Protest that's happening
You know look like the protests
That at Columbia University you know
Against the house you know
The genocide you know like
A bunch of people in little tents
Hanging out in front of a trade
Union hall well that
Becomes a really intense
Attack and in the
End 50 people at least are killed
And in fact in the foreground
Of much of the video is this
Person I forget his name but now
He's an MP in Ukraine
And he's often seen with Pelosi
Like this was you know
She would promote him all the time
And he gave bullets you know
A bullet bracelet to Pelosi
And so on that guy's in the front
You know leading this thing on
And I see all these red and black flags
And I'm like so I
Email my anarchist friends in
Ukraine and said what's going on
That the anarchists are attacking
This trade union hall and killing people
Is that like a kind of an anarchist type
Of thing and they go no
No that's Azov Nazis
They're attacking us in Kiev
We can't even feed people now
Because they you know
We feed people of color
We feed people that are gay
And lesbian and so on and so on
Yeah that's the bandera flag
The red and black is the yeah
Yeah the Azov bandera flag
And now you get you know
I see like these
The things online
Anarchists killed fighting
Next to Azov
In the front lines of Ukraine
You know let's mourn this anarchist
That was dumb enough to join Nazis
To do that you know and it's like
So and then I got like
Completely harassed by people in
Bulgaria food not bombs
Who were you know
They were
Claiming
They were claiming
That the
You know that we tried to have
We had a worldwide zoom meeting
And we wanted to denounce the
You know NATO
And we were willing to denounce you know
Russia we can't
I thought we would come to consensus on that
It's not you know we're not like
Oh we love Putin or something like that
You know but you don't have to
Love Putin and also be
Against a war that could lead
To a nuclear conflict or
Not according to most independent media
Yeah
Exactly it was crazy
And so that's you know just like
Because I have this flyer that
You know inadvertently
Admits I refuse this
You know the follow government orders
There's an assumption right away
Well then you're a trooper
Right automatically
Even though obviously
I'm not and also my
Decision was
On that was in part
In large part as a result
Of one of my closest friends who's an
Anarchist who my best
Friend was her partner before
He passed away who was
An amazing Anarchist in fact
The Anarchist in Victoria
Need to you know
Thank him because he invented
The how to do secure
On-line payments
To support an Anarchist project
In Vancouver
Back you know
In decades ago
But anyway she
In 1995
Me and Carl
Shannon and Carl and I and others
We had been organizing against
Fort Detrick and gain a function
And he was a
Professor at John Hopkins University
And she decided that she
Would get a degree in
Virology and become a Virologist
So one of her you know
Things that she did was four and a half years
Working on the Moderna vaccine
And
Under Fauci
And she came to me
Before the vaccine was released
And said look at you know
I worked on it for all those years
And I was losing about
80% of the lab animals
No matter what I did
And so I suggest you know
Don't take these vaccines until
They can figure out how to make it
Safe because currently
They are not yet
It wasn't like oh they'll never be safe
It's a possibility they'll never be safe
But maybe they'll figure out the technology
And it will be safe at some point
So I go okay well thank you man
I was definitely you know
I've known you since you were
You know an undergraduate
University of Maryland
Baltimore so and then we've been
Hanging out together for all these years
And I've followed her whole
History of getting
Her phd and virology and
All those things so I trusted
Her opinion and
Francis Boyle was part of our little community
He was recently
Died before a
Yeah a court case in Europe
Mysteriously and
And where he was going to testify
That it was probably gain a function
And then the intelligence community said
Oh yeah it was gain a function
By a weapon you know you were right all along
And not
They need to trust the intelligence community
But it is a little weird that they would
Admit to that and then
So anyway it was
Totally logical that that could have been
You know that the virus was
A you know
Biological weapon I'm not
Exactly I mean I've got friends that say oh there's
No such thing as a virus maybe there is no
Such thing but anyway
The you know automatically
You know you're in one camp or another
Everything's going to be
You know you can't have any nuance
At all about anything
And you know
You can't even have conversations
About things I can't even have a conversation
About why
I you know
I didn't get the vaccine
Because I'm far left with
Anti-Trump
You know
And I'm
You know it's incredible
But you know just to get to counsel
Even though I you know I have
You know I just came out
The deal was I was supposed to go to
Speak at my archives
I hope this all happens and I hope
They hear that watch this podcast
And they go oh we have really screwed up
But
Anyway I said
You know the first time I was going to do it
And COVID stopped me and then
I came up with a you know
I wrote a
My memoir and said hey when my memoir
Is
Finished let's do it again
And so he was all excited about it
And we all the food and bomb chapters
And British Columbia are all going to come
And meet and then the last two
Correspondents with him
He's like say oh you got to be
Careful about you know
When you want to book your literature table
At the end of his book fair be careful
Not to say anything about COVID
Because they're starting to talk
About
Something
About you and
COVID
And I'm sure he had no idea exactly
What that meant. I'm going to have to
Sensor you at the anarchist book fair
Exactly
You need to watch what you say
Yeah and the thing that's
Interesting is some unknown people
In Boston
Were able to kill that lecture
Because of the same
Flyer which and then the other
Interesting thing which shows
That the you know that I'm under
A lot of surveillance and in the kind
Of way this whole thing is a you know
I'm proud of the fact that they're
Doing all this to counsel me
And make sure I don't go anywhere
Speak to anarchist but the other
Man you know kind of at this
Point I'm kind of like a fanaticist
Or this like gullible you know
Why bother really
I mean I'm going to stay an anarchist
I'm going to stick by my anarchist
Principles I'm going to just not change
But I'm also going to be honest
And I'm going to talk about things
And even if you don't like it
You go talk about what you want to
Talk about you know it's incredible
And as you know it's just
Sad because it would have been great
I mean maybe it will be great
Maybe this will all blow over
Maybe the people realize
It's a big intelligence scam
But I'm getting the impression
That that's not the case
And you know it's
It's really really tragic
But there's millions and millions
Of people that
Haven't fallen for that
And you know I'm sure
It's funny too because originally
I was blocked from these things
By David Hurowitz and
Where he had this whole
Like Republican youth
Movement across America
And they put out like these
They had a website
A web page about me and how
And it was funny because I
I ended up you know clicking on
The email link at the bottom
And I wrote them a letter going thank you
This is the best bio I've ever seen
And then I began to say that
America is the most genocidal country
In the world
And I thought man no one ever publishes that
That's so cool
So it turned out
With David Hurowitz and it was a website
To alert Republican youth
To make sure I didn't get
Speaking engagements or
The only comparable thing
To that really
Like writing them back to me
Like thank you for the amazing bio
That was wonderful, I appreciate you guys
The LeBron James
Sent
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The famous soccer player
LeBron James sends him a jersey
And you know expecting
Zlatan to send a jersey
I'm sure back to LeBron
And Zlatan took the jersey
Signed it
And then sent it back
That's great
That's exactly what you did
Keith I know
That we're here to talk about the book
But before we do that
We've got to talk
About the recent passing
Of
Lindsey Graham
What a sad thing
I know there's like
I guess there's a big problem
At the
With sex workers
Now in
The DC area and maybe
In South Carolina so they
Hopefully people will hire
Hire them and keep them
Employed. I don't know how much money
I mean I think it's amazing
We have to feel so much sorrow
For him and remember he only had
Like nearly two million dollars in assets
When he passed
That's what we're told
Yeah he had no children to pass it on to
And
You know
I guess stroking that
Drone was a little too
Exciting
And he took them out
Oh my goodness what a crazy thing
And then all the
You've probably seen
Like the newscasters in the wrong
Going what this is great
I have to read it again
I did I saw that
It's so funny
Oh my god it's so interesting
How quickly the fact that
Millions of people who were supposed to
Rise up against the
Kamini
Came to a funeral instead
And
I'd rather stay home and get bombed
Yeah right
The whole thing is crazy man
It's such interesting that that revealed
A 30 year lie
I mean I have friends
That left Iran when
Kamini became the
Islamic State because they were
They just spent a bunch of time being tortured
By the Shah's people
And now they were starting
To be tortured by
The new regime
Because
There was a threat that
They just wanted to make sure that anybody to the left
Got suppressed at the beginning
And
Sadly having been
The target of intelligence operations for
50 years I could see the paranoia
And that you
You know
You can't mess around if you want to stay in power
No matter how horrible that is
And you know
So I have friends that were tortured by both sides
And live over here
But I was
You know and then I have a really good friend
Terry Taylor that was in the embassy
During the
Takeover
And I was one of the people that were to receive
The you know they would take this
Shredded
CIA documents that they got out of the
Safe and then they
Piece it together and then I would get a copy
Every once in a while
Knowing you know Terry knew that
If she came to the US with all this
It would all be confiscated
I gave it to this reporter Bill
Worth
A
African American reporter
Who put together some stuff
But it basically got silenced
Needless to say
I remember my friend
Frankel Flitto and my stuff
Were bluing posters all around
Boston and the back bay
Announcing a protest against George Bush
You know
George H. Bush when he was vice president
He was going to speak at MIT
And we were organizing the protest against that
And then the news came
From the about the
The hostage release
And there was like these fancy
Fancy like Jaguars and
BMWs and stuff all in the back bay
With giant yellow
You know ribbons on them and stuff
And we you know
We did you know before going out
To do wheat pasting
And we would you know take
Acid because it helped you keep going
All night long and then
And so we were tripping our brains
Out and then we see these things and we had
Always spray paint and so we're
Because we knew that it was
The 52
Hossages
Were CIA
We were like writing
50
You know
52 spies kill CIA
On every luxury vehicle
With a ribbon
And it must have been amazing
For like the you know
All these people come out of these big parties
You know from the
You know the
All these fancy buildings and then see
That on their car it was pretty funny
But anyway
That happens and
Yeah
It's amazing so yeah now we have
Like all these decades
I guess the US you know
Of course the US
Backed and funded
A eight year war
Against Iran
And so and then the US
Started bombing the crap out of Iran
You know in their
Global plan to
Take over China
Someday or some nonsense
That they believe to maintain
Dollar supremacy and all that
And
You know now we're in this like turmoil
And it's kind of amazing they can
Keep the
Economy slightly limping along
At least for you know percentage of
The community because
Many people you know
This could get to be really dire
And Lindsey Graham
Was the cheerleader of all this
And he won't get to use his millions
Of dollars to gloat
At all the starving masses
In South Carolina
Right and I don't
Believe for a moment
That he only had
A million and a half dollars
I'm sure that there's
Offshore accounts
I'm sure that you know
He was
Doing fine they had to
Keep him in mint julips and
Rent boys at all times
So it's not like he was
Broke although I will say this
That if it's true
Then there's
A couple of different possibilities
And one is
That he just really did
All that warmongering for the
Love of the game
It is upon
The other is he was
So compromised
That
Stepping out of line even
To wet your own beak along
With all of your fellow congress
Critters
Was going to be something that
Would trigger a blackmail
Protocol
Yeah, there would have been
One of these prostitutes
Instead of just coming out
And saying he had sex with
Them
It would have been front page story
How that would have changed
It would be all over
We thought Lindsey Graham
Was not gay
And then
It's also amazing
That
You know
He could have run
If he was in a democratic state
He could have run as gay
And got more votes
The whole thing is just insane
I suspect the people of South Carolina
Actually wouldn't have cared
If he was officially gay
But how does he even get into
Office and stay in office all this time
When he was complete moron
It's incredible
Somebody was behind the whole operation
Probably
Zionist money
Obviously
And defense contractor money
That's a big thing in South Carolina
All the military
So that's what
Basically the military just ran him
As a
Some kind of psychops
And let him fly
And of course
I think a number of people have pointed out
It doesn't make any difference
If he's dead
Let's put another psycho Zionist in there
And also I love how
There's all the democrats
They're like oh well we were my friend
And they described some BS story
About having done something
Al Franken talked about how wonderful
He was and they traveled to
Afghanistan together
Like you want to brag about Afghanistan
You know look we replaced
The Taliban with the Taliban
And we're going to replace
The Strait of Hormuz being
Opened
With the Strait of Hormuz being opened
You know it's a parallel thing
Let's do a war
Or let's have like kill a million people
In Iraq
And then have
The people that we're trying to overthrow
Come to power again
But it's all about making money
And making
Military contractors
A ton of money
And about
All that they don't care about anybody's lives
Or you know they didn't bring democracy
To Iraq you know they were
You know it's the same
I mean what's amazing is they haven't even had a
False flag for the Iran war
Which has been approved to be more
Disaster for the United States
Than even the Iraq war or the Afghan war
I mean I think
They've tried to cook up a couple of things
That didn't necessarily go over the way they wanted to
Keith you're not going to believe this
And you guys
At home
Probably not going to believe this but we have
On the line
Against all odds
Senator Lindsey Graham
Oh thank goodness
Senator Graham
We
We heard you
Tragically passed away
Of heart failure
These rumors
But what's happening
Y'all
I am in
The best resort
I have ever seen
In my entire life
Last thing I remember
Was I was in Ukraine
At a drone factory
And all of a sudden
They just started playing
Really loud bass music
And there were
Disco sirens
Going off and
I must have just blacked out
From all that Ukrainian liquor
Because I woke up in paradise
Y'all wouldn't believe this
I'm at this
Resort right now
And all my friends
Are here
It's amazing
Every 15 minutes
A muscular fella in a red
Leather suit comes in
And shoves a pineapple in my
Ass
It is the most delightful place
That I have ever been
And y'all
Y'all
You know who's here with me, don't you
That's right
John McCain
This is the most wonderful
Day of my life
Y'all I gotta go
We're doing cocktails
And pickleball by the lake
Of fire at three
Y'all have a fantastic day
Past that save act
Lindsey out
That's great
That was amazing
I'm glad he showed up
Because we were worried he wouldn't make it
Up here
Apparently just starting the August recess
A little bit early
Apparently that's all it is
We should have known the media was lying
It is what they do
I do have a question for you
And I have a clip I want to play
From Larry Johnson
Who's trying to work out
The actual timeline
For
Whether or not Lindsey Graham
Died
On United States soil
Of heart failure
Or vades
I mean for all we know
He got all of his jabs and boosters
I don't think any of them did personally
But
It is a possibility
Or maybe whether or not
He was taken out militarily
Of which of course there are all multiple options
Israel
Did just
Tell Donald Trump
That they have credible evidence
That the Iranians
Are plotting to take him out
Yet again
And this could be
Hey look we got your
Freakin' tank shadow
We took him out
You could be next
It could be that
But I want your thoughts on this Keith
After we roll the clip
Get through on the timeline
If everything's normal
He arrives normally
In Keith
Because
That's how they do it
In fact the United States
Pre-coordinates with Russia
So they don't attack the trains
Russia in the past does not attack those trains
So he arrives in Keith
He meets with Zelensky
At some point there's video footage
Of him going through this
Drone factory and he's holding up one of the drones
Smiling
Because it's shaped like a dildo
So that he may have had some
Other thoughts going through his mind
With respect to the drone
But let's say for whatever reason
It was urgent Keith
So that he had to get back
Unless you're being medically evacuated
You're not going to bring in a military aircraft
To haul you out of there
On a normal visit
And so he
So he was either
He went the normal route
On the train
Back to Poland
Which is at least
10 hour ride
Maybe a little longer
Then you catch a plane
And the plane coming back to the United States
Is at least 10 hours
Bigger headwinds could make it 11
So that's the normal route
And I'm saying if he just did
A normal on this
Quick in and out
He still got home after the time
That he supposedly died at home
So it's
It's sort of tough to die at home
When you're not at home
So
We're not sure what happened
All I can tell you is the story
That's been put out by the US government
Is a lie
That much we know
Yeah it's like
Why is there this obvious
Why I'm not
Clear what the purpose of it
Is
Well a couple of things
The US
Knows they're not going
To win a kinetic war against Russia
Or they would have
Allowed Ukraine into NATO
It triggered article 5
Years ago
We're for almost 4 and a half years
Into the Russia Ukraine thing
Zelensky
Is still running around
Begging for
Hookers and blow
And a membership to NATO
Yeah
I'm not so clear why
His being dying there
Would be a huge embarrassment
To that project
Because here's
What happened
You know
Or one of the things
That possibly could have happened
And we do have photo evidence of this
This is the drone that Larry
Johnson was describing
Is coming from the Rabbi
Smully's daughter's collection
And this was
Supposed to be a quote unquote
Secret drone manufacturing
Facility in Kiev
So
Without warning
Six missiles struck two manufacturing
Facilities in the Kiev
Region, the Russian Ministry
Of Defense confirmed strikes
On the drone sites
Which started a huge fire
This again
That Lindsey Graham
At the secret drone facility
Where
These pictures got
Posted in real time
Of him going y'all
I made a secret drone facility
It's the greatest
And it is
Not improbable
To see that
Where if his phone connection wasn't
The most secure
They could have the immediate
Coordinates of that facility
Yeah
And any other one he went to afterwards
So if it's
A Russian missile strike
That took him out and the US won't admit it
It's because they know they're
Going to lose in a kinetic war
Which again it's not necessarily
The point to win or lose
But to prolong it
But it doesn't look good
For you guys and your propaganda
When you get your asses kicked
In Afghanistan like Keith was saying
And turn the takeout, you know
Force out the Taliban to turn over the government
To the Taliban
Doesn't look good when you got your ass kicked in Iran
Doesn't look good when you got your ass kicked in Iraq
Doesn't look good when you're getting your asses kicked
Everywhere you go except for the mysterious
Kidnapping of Maduro
And the takeover of
Venezuela there
But Russia and Ukraine
Is not a winnable war
In the eyes of anyone
Or they would have engaged in it already
Or the Mossad took him out
As a warning to Trump
To never steer the course
Away from total annihilation
Of Iran
And the US government
Can't come out and admit that
Another interesting aspect of this
Because it could well be that he got hit
And other people that are
Pretty high ranking in Ukraine
Died in that missile strike
At the same time
So that could have happened
Also concealing that
So that other bozos
From the US
Would continue to go there
As part of the propaganda thing
And not fear being killed
By going there
Obviously it would not work
In the US
Knowing that they can't possibly
That anything they would do
Would ultimately be in a nuclear conflict
They're going to attempt to really
Take out
The Kremlin or something like that
And they realize
They would get taken out
So it could be that it was concealed completely
I have seen a bunch of reports
That it might be
That Mossad took him out
As a message to Trump
You're going to do what
Because Trump is
All worried he's going to be killed by
Iran
But see, I think that's a funny false flag
Too, because imagine
If Iran
So to speak did kill
Trump
Huge percentage of the United States
Would be cheering it, it wouldn't be the best false flag
But then the other interesting thing
That then points to this being
Some kind of other nefarious situation
Is that
20 FBI agents immediately showed up
At his place
In DC
And you don't get
And there's a lot of questions
Who was there when he
Died and called 9-1-1
And is the 9-1-1 call real
Remember, 9-1-1
Has
Israel
Controlled a lot of 9-1-1
In the US
Behind a lot of the software that's being used
I think the
Unit 8200 got the contract
To run
9-1-1 in the US
Which is certainly a frightening thing
Considering that they also did the pager attack
In Lebanon
And one of the technicians
That involved in that was that guy
That got caught trying to have sex
With young girls in Las Vegas
And got escorted out of the country
To get an award for his
Work on the pager attack
So yeah, there's a lot of
All kinds of possibilities
There's a very
You know
Of why the strategy
Because also if you wanted to go to war
With Russia in a bigger way
You could say, oh, look at
They killed our senator, we have to go to war
They made sure that didn't happen
If that was in fact even really what
Happened, so it is
It's a lot of questions to
You know
And did he just like die
You know, in Ukraine
From a heart attack
He was so excited about his missiles
Or
You know, obviously there's a great place
To find hookers
Hookers have been coming out of Ukraine
Since the end of the Soviet Union
I mean, that's what you could
I remember in Gary Boulevard in San Francisco
You could go to this
I posted posters all over the city
For living in the 80s and 90s
And there was this place you could walk
Into on Gary Boulevard and have photos
Of Ukrainian girls you could hire
You could have flown over
For you to marry
And that was back, like I said
In 90, you know, 89
90 and so on
So that's always been a
You know, the CIA has ever since
The fall of the Soviet Union has been
And probably even before that
Has been doing a lot of nefarious things
And using it, you know, it's a perfect kind of thing
Any kind of outlawed country like that
Is great for, you know, covert
Activities
Can wander money, look how much money
Has been wandered through there
That's another interesting thing, Steve
There's these fake CIA
These stories of people faking themselves
As being CIA and going for years
As pretend CIA agents
Breaking in millions and millions of dollars
Like, that's incredible
I mean, I wish I thought of that
Like 30 years ago, I mean
That's a great idea
There was recently a guy
That they busted in Virginia
Who apparently was a CIA
Agent, officer
And
Had set up like
Had set up a security
Payment scam
To where he had a couple of million
In cash and like 40 million
In gold just hanging out at his house
Yeah, well that one
They're kind of saying maybe
Wasn't a CIA agent, he was just
Pretending to be a CIA agent
See, that's really interesting
So were all these CIA
Agents pretending to be CIA
Agents and they aren't really
Or something, yeah
That was the first of these stories
That surfaced in and another one
Recently happened, that's pretty incredible
But that makes sense
You know, if you're
You know
If you're running stuff off the books
Out of public eye
Almost anything can happen, right
And so you could be
A fake, you know
CIA agent
And then there's like this
Story recently surfacing about
You know, Epstein
Having, you know, they point out he has a lot of police
Uniforms in his closet, right
And what did he
Kill people as a police officer
You know
And I have to say that the illusion
Is so simple
I don't have it in soup stock
I mean in a soup street
But I will be in the next book
Which I think is going to be called Always Free
And
The
You know, I worked for the National Park Service
And used to give lectures
At Fanny Hall about the history
Of famous lectures at Fanny Hall
And after
Work one day, my co-worker and I
We went to, you know, smoke pot
And drink a beer on the harbor
And we see all these
People in evening gowns
And
You know, tuxedos going into
The Boston Aquarium
And it's the 4th of July
1976, right
So we
You know, we're in uniform
So we know we can do whatever we want
So we walk into the
You know, we just say hi
To the people taking tickets
And walk by and we're in there
And then all of a sudden I guess the fireworks start happening
While we're inside the aquarium
And it's of course, needless to say
People walk out, oh wow, can you see them from the roof?
I go, and we didn't want to blow our cover
And we're pretty stoned already
So we're like, oh yeah, yeah
Just go up those stairs there
The walkway here
And then, so all these people
Go up this like
Walkway that goes around
This giant tank of sea water
With sharks in it and stuff like that
And then it starts to back up
The crowd is now almost down
To where we are on the first floor
And because it turns out there was no way
To see the fireworks up at the top
And then we decide
Well, you know, this has been a lot of fun
We better get out of this area in case somebody
Finds out that, you know
Because they'll know that we're the ones
That sent them awry
And basically we're just trying to cover our
Ass that we didn't blow our cover
So we go to get some drinks
And
You know, because you're dressed in a uniform
We just go behind the bar
And pour ourselves our own drinks
But then we start getting rushed
By the people
And so we're like
Starting to make drinks for everybody
And I have no idea how to make a drink
Beer was my
The most extreme thing I ever drank
And
And I haven't done that
In 30 years
And then anyway
And just because I have a bad liver
I don't like to be nauseous
And then, so anyway
I
No shade on people that like beer
And then anyway, so I
We start mixing
Pouring drinks, so we would take the
Plastic cup that they had there
And we would fill it with half mixer
Half alcohol
And then people would go, that's a lot of Tom Collins
And they'd go, yeah it is
Get out of there
It was so much fun
Where it's wind and fire played there
But so the thing is that you can easily
People would just assume
If you ever need to do something interesting
Like when we were
Squatting buildings
In
1992
In Homestot Jails
All you had to do was wear a vest
And people just assumed
And show up at 9 o'clock in the morning
No one sees there's a building
And it swaps at 9 in the morning
With a vest, you know
So, you know, that kind of
Illusion is
Most people just would never pay
Attention, they would never
We found that people living around
The abandoned buildings that we opened
Were very grateful
That the landlord had
Finally rented the property next to them
And that there was some nice families
Moving in and so on
That's how we got
You know, got
100 houses occupied
At any given time
And we had keys to 400 of them
And that was generally a protest
Against the savings and loan scandal
Which unbeknownst to us
Should have been
Also coordinated
As a protest against us
The savings and loan scandal
Was a way of laundering money
From Iran Contra and other covert operations
And that's how Phoenix
It became Phoenix that it is today
Because
You know, they
Needed to launder money so they built
This huge, huge grid of streets
With fire hydrants and light poles
And it clear cut all this
300-year-old
Swarovs to launder their money
And Lloyd Benson
I think he was the Democrat of that scheme
And then, of course, John McCain
Who is popular today because
Of Graham's death
You know, where that was their scam
That they ran
That's pretty interesting
Oh, don't forget Neil Bush, though
Yeah, Neil Bush with Silverado
You had all that, you know
And
This stuff tells into the story
Of the prairie land
There's a really great video
By the prairie land defense people
So prairie land was
A bunch of young anarchists
Who did a noise protest on the 4th of July
12 months ago
Outside the prairie land detention center
Outside of Fort Worth, Texas
And then launched fireworks
And did a little bit of graffiti
On a couple of cars
And
This most recent video
Is hardcore
It uses body cam photos
From the cops and stuff
And it shows that
The people were just walking
After the cops came
They were just walking away
And the other security guards
Were just walking away too
They're not like in hot pursuit
Of the people there
And then
This other guy rushes up
In a security guard
Drumps up in a car
Jumps out and starts shooting
At the prairie land
Noise protesters
And so Singh did bring a gun
And he shot one shot
Apparently according to
Port documents and so on
That direction
Now they claim that his gun
His bullet ricocheted
And hit the
Officer that was shooting
At him
There is also early on in the case
There was
An early complaint
Where there's an unintentified
Shooter in the woods near
Where the
Noise
Protests was happening
Also fired
I believe that that might be the bullet
That hit the neck of the security guard
And that person
Never has been identified
And has been erased from the whole story
But it's a frame
Up
Complete frame up of
Innocent people
Maybe they could have gotten charged
With misdemeanor, noise violations
Or something like that
But they
Singh got 100 years
Others that
And in that
I'm reminded of it
Because there's one of the
Online you can look at all
The zines that were
Moved from
From one house to another
That the federal government
Claimed was concealing evidence
And
The person that moved the files
Got 30 years
And the wife of the person who moved
The files got 70 years
20 years tacked on because the files
The fan zines were moved
From one house to another
And my suspicion is
I haven't talked to any of the defendants
Because they're in prison
The
That I know
If I had a bunch of zines
And I knew the FBI was going to raid
I would move them somewhere else
So I didn't lose all my zines
Because it cost a lot of money to us
Low income people
And that was probably what was happening
Not some other nefarious thing
But to get 30 years for that
And one of the zines
Was about
Homes not jails
How to squat
And it had an image on the cover of it
That was used by
Steinberg on the cover of his
Novel about
Homes not jails
So there was a lot of
Cross pollination there
And apparently early on
A friend of the prairie land
Defendants
Had contacted the local NPR station
Probably naively
It turned out not to be a big problem
And said that they were
All nonviolent
And she can't imagine
That anything was going
She was friends with them
And that they basically met at
Funa bombs
And that she was a good friend with
Singh and totally innocent
And now on seeing this video
It's completely obvious
The entire feds
Planted a gunman in the woods
That this was supposed to send
The message about anti-fa
That we're supposed to be scared
I'm supposed to be scared
I'm supposed to stop doing what I'm doing
Because I don't want to be caught up in there
What is that national
Presidential directive
7
Declaring anarchists
Terrorists
And already I was
Declared of terrorists as was
Funa bombs in the August of 88
We're not
Not like a new threat
Right
So it's
Maybe more stuff will happen
It's really crazy
I remember Jesse Waters had that fake
Anti-fa guy
And the whole thing was about
You're in Funa bombs
And then
You end up getting into anti-fa
And then they make it selling anti-fa
Some seriously violent thing
It's incredible
And also
I find it so interesting
That anti-fa
The pronunciation of anti-fa
Changed around COVID
And if you watch Amy Goodman
Like an old
Clips of her talking about anti-fa
She pronounces it anti-fa
And then
She changes to antifa
And I think there's got to be some logic
Behind why you
Changed the pronunciation of anti-fa
To antifa
And that always makes me like shudder
Every time I hear somebody
pronouncing antifa
It separates the actual
Intended meaning
From the name
Because if it's anti-fa
You've got to finish it with
Ashes
And then people would think about
That if it's antifa
Then it sounds like
A kid's toy or something like that
Yeah, maybe a disease or something
I know, it's incredible
And how it just
Flips so easily
It just shows how the intelligence community
Has immense
Power
I came across a movie, do I still have it
On here
I don't know, let me see
I forgot the name
This one
Drugs as weapons against us
The CIA war on musicians and activists
I don't know if you've seen that
It's a two hour movie
I started watching it a couple of weeks ago
I haven't been able to get back to it
But yeah, it's interesting
And what got my attention
Was of course the
Well made the course to the viewers
It's not a course, but I was
You know, my grandfather
Was stationed in Burma during World War II
And one of his jobs
That he shared with me
Was how he
Exported heroin out of Burma
To the black community
Because there was a lot of concern
That the GI bill
That get the GI bill passed
They need to get the Dixie Crats
You know
There had to be a two tiered
GI bill
One for whites, one for blacks
And so they
Had to flood the black community with heroin
To make sure they wouldn't
Revolt
Or it would minimize the possibility
Of them revolting
About an unequal
GI bill
And so the movie does start
Out with
About how the British government
Used opium
And now we have Singapore
And Hong Kong and all that
And how then it gets
That people in power
Are used heroin
Or opium and drugs
For
You know, for
Centuries to control
And undermine and to manipulate
The black male people
And it's a really interesting movie
And it also integrates
MK Alter
Which into the
Using the LSD and a lot of
You know
Our rock heroes
Are
Being manipulated
Or were outright
C.I.A. assets
And
You know, things like
Ken Keezy and the married
Printers and how those connections
Were being manipulated by
Intelligence communities
And then Tupac
I had a lot of connections through this
I knew some of these people
And my attorney
When I was
You know, I was
Facing life in prison
He was also the attorney
For Tupac's
Family after he was killed
And he was also the attorney
For Fred Hampton's family
After he was murdered
So I had a lot of discussions over the years
About how, you know, intelligence
Operations have led to the death
Of these different people
And then to see it like outlined
In more detail in this film
Was quite impressive
And also the use of the
Music to manipulate the
Community to go
Along with, you know
Programs that they might not otherwise
Go along with
And you know
One of my best friends
Is in prison and he
His mother was Cameron
Cameron was the head of the
MK Alter in
Canada
And then she was his secretary
And then she met
Her husband, my friend's father
Was the assistant
To Cameron
And so he's
I've been sending him the latest news
About MK Alter
To him because he
You know, when he was 18
He jumped ship from that family
Like, whoa, what the heck is going on
With these people
And, you know, and then
Spent the rest of his life doing other things
But because he was my right-hand person
He ended up in prison
But anyway, so that's
You know, this is
This is how the society works
I think it's a great movie
There's probably like, you know
Things that are like
Where it could be all fleshed out
More all through the whole thing
Even with two hours
It's a cursory overlay of what's happening
But it just
Shows you how
Hardcore the
Intelligence community is that
Maintaining power, as my grandfather said
For the
A ruling elite
And then
You know, he used to talk
He was involved in, you know, people
Have watched other interviews of mine
He did directed
Operation Meeting House, Fire Bombing
In Tokyo
And he argued with
McNamara and LeMay during the Vietnam War
I watched him argue over the phone
To drop the atomic bomb on Hanoi
To send another message to the
Communists
And the whole, you know
It became kind of a slight problem
For the U.S.
Where you don't have communism
The dualism of
Democracy
Communism, you know that
So now they've had to come up with new
Techniques to divide the
Population. Another one that's really
He explained was elections are always
Determined by the intelligence community
That
And that's one of the reasons they don't want like
Green Party or some other party becoming prominent
Because they want people equally divided
Between Democrats and Republicans
Even though obviously
When you watch all these like
Praise of, you know
Of Lindsey Graham by, you know
Every Democrat coming out of the woodwork
That there's no difference between, you know
They share exactly the same policies
If they were serious like
For instance about codifying Roe v. Wade
Obama could have done it in a flash
The second he was
Became president but they need that
To be, so at least they have
Some difference between the Republicans
And the same with Second Amendment
You know, they're, even though in reality
They're, so it's
This is where
You know, it's such
An amazing scam that people
Fall for it, it's sort of
I've just gotten, you know
A whole life used to the fact that
Most people are clueless
That the house society works
But certainly they're, they know
You know, you can't argue with them
They know
And there seems to be
A decent amount of evidence
That the people who are
You know
Being the election rigging
And the spying and all
They know who knows
On, you know
This end of it too
You know, this is what
We were talking about this on the phone
Yesterday, but I mean, that's where
The surveillance centers
And all of that come in
Real quick, I have to play this
Because it's just ironically
So funny
This is a reporter
Catching Lindsey Graham a couple of
Weeks ago
And asking him
About the whereabouts
Of Mitch McConnell
How is he doing? Have you heard anything?
I'm going to go check right now with my office
And open a prayer and he's doing well
But I'm, yeah, he's going to go check
In on Mitch McConnell
He's doing
Now, ironically
That did happen
And shout out to
Gen X girl for posting this
Because we do have eyes on Mitch
He's doing great
He's going to stay alive
At least
What, talk is third or something?
Yeah
Yeah, that's the magic
Sell-by date for the
Open
Senate seat
Oh my god, I mean
It's
It's insane man
It's so insane what's going on
Well
In that picture that they put out
Where he's there in the Bob Evans outfit
Yeah, with his little newspaper
That shows the
Sports page
The original photo is from
2023
I'm not surprised because how did his wife
Get all the way from China to there
In one day
And all this stuff
It's pretty interesting
And then also
Yeah, why
Yeah, there's so many
Levels of scams
And
Deep fakes eventually
We'll see him giving a speech
About the
Lindsey Graham Save America
Thing, you know
And he'll be on the floor
And we'll like, oh yeah, that's him
He's perked right up
The last few days
You know, the thing is
I just was reading a post
Where somebody was like
We all know that all this corruption
Of massive amount of corruption
And brutality
And wars going on
But there's no actual
You know, like plan
By anybody to
You know, confront this
You know, like there's no van
You know, they didn't say this
But there's no vanguard movement
Where we can get behind Baba Vakian
And overthrow the government
And have the utopian Revolutionary
Communist Party rulers
Or, you know, something like that
I remember, you know
In the 70s
In the 80s people are all excited
About, you know, an armed
Revolution or whatever
You know, like people
And I read a lot of those books
Like the Manifesto Rotario Underground
I thought it was really out a lot of
Good information in it
You know, but now it's like
You know
And this surveillance thing that's happening
With, you know, first people
Are like really focused on flock
And so they're getting flock banned
You know, like in Santa Cruz
But now I've noticed that they have that
Signal is all over Santa Cruz
That records everything
That you're doing as you're driving around town
And nobody organized
An attempt to ban that
And they're still like flock cameras
At every entrance to Santa Cruz
But they're controlled by the jurisdictions
Around them
And then it turns out it wasn't license plate reader
They were also facial recognition
And then there's
Other levels of surveillance cameras
That mimic flock
That do even more
Aggregious things, you know
So it's like
And then people are like
I find this interesting
People are very upset
You know, I watched a really good
Documentary about people in Tucson
Because I lived in Tucson
And I was fascinated by that
Protesting, I think that was
An Amazon blew something
Or rather
AI data center
And Tucson's already
Barely has water
And they were going to
Basically take what water was left
And use it for this data center
And they pushed back on it
I thought really, yeah, in the desert
Calling it
And so that was good
But the focus for
The last 12 months
Has been stopping data centers
Because they're either too noisy
Or they're
Using too much water
Or the price of electricity is going up
But
No one is talking about them being
Surveillance centers
And now that's starting to
You couldn't do having
100,000 or more flock cameras
Sending
Thousands and thousands of law
Enforcement agencies, all the details
Of everybody wandering around every city
If you did not have
AI
Of course AI is just nuts
Because
How many times
I was talking to this guy the other day
Who came up to me
Saying, oh, wow, you know
Would
AI be useful for food and not
Bombs? And I'm like, oh, no, no
We have nothing to do with AI
I'm not going to use any AI
And I had called
AAA
To have a homeless person's vehicle
Removed before it got towed
So they wouldn't lose their place to live
And
I called
Seven hours later AAA did show
But every 15 to 20 minutes
AI told me
That it was about to show
So I spent seven hours in a
Chevron parking lot
Waiting for
A tow truck because AI told me
That it was about to arrive
Now the last time AI only
Held me up for three hours
Whereas before
AI you could get a tow truck
In Santa Cruz in about 30 minutes
I mean
That's just one example
AI is also
Blocking me from
Being able to get paid
Subscribers on my substack
I haven't opened up the
Email this morning to see what
They're saying but they keep saying
That my substack
URL is trying to
You know
It's a financial institution
And therefore I'm violating
Stripes policies
Of
Not you know they keep saying
What's your business
And I have to write
My business is writing essays on substack
My only URL I want to use
For
Is a
Substack
I've even
Asked substack if there's
Any other vendor
For getting paid subscribers
And it's not like I need paid
Subscribers what I need is to not have
All these people contact me
Saying wow I tried to be a paid
Subscriber and it won't let me be
A paid subscriber
So you know and that first came up
On James Corrett's
Solutions watch where I
Did a program there about
My book and about substack
And James emails me
Like a few minutes after the show
Saying people are complaining they can't
Become paid subscribers and that
I would have never known if it wasn't for
That until I start getting
And it might have been that show
That I could get it right
Because I had paid subscribers right
Before that program and then I never
Had another one after and
So it's really
Pretty interesting that and the
Thing was about that
James's podcast
Drew a lot of
Interest in my memoirs
Soup Street and that was
Really fantastic and
I think people will be surprised
You know what everybody
Every single person that has
Read it so far their first
Complaint is I couldn't put it
Down I ended up
Being late to work or I
Couldn't get anything done and
I just or I stayed up till
About three in the morning because
I just couldn't put it down
Pretty good endorsement for
The actual my writing ability
In that particular book which
I did spend a long time right
I mean I was still I was
Writing it when you and I were
Meeting a lot 47 during covid
You know I was I was
Writing it before that you know
In fact the last writing
Workshop that I did before
Finishing that book and
It's a reflected in the last
Two chapters
Is I was on a
Writing workshop with
Andy from
The opening he's like an amazing
Writing professor teacher
Basically it's an informal
Thing that he does by zoom
Now because of he moved
To the middle of nowhere but
Which is a good idea for a
Lot of people I think and anyway so
He
Yeah
You know we had a workshop down
In Guatemala and that was really
Inspiring it was like I was
Down there a month I think his
Workshop attention really was
Only three months he's got
Another one coming up and then
I go to get from Guatemala
City to the not to
San Jose you go through Panama
And
I get off the plane in Panama
And there's these guys all these
Soldiers with these little white
Things
Pointing that every single person
That walks out and I'm like
I'm not standing in line for that
So I went around the whole line just
Went in the terminal I had no idea
What was going on and then
And then I
Get back to the United States
And
I think it's four days later
There's a lockdown
And
You know
You know the covid
Lockdown started on the
14th of
March 2020
So I'd only been in the United States
Four days before there was a lockdown
And
That's when we started feeding people
Every single day
To dump bombs and Santa Cruz because
The soup kitchens were locked also closed
As a result and
No one would have ever gotten any food
And that was an amazing experience
When we were out there for three years
Every day we were the only food
For homeless people only water
We had the only hand washing station
For homeless people
We were attacked by the government
Repeatedly that's when we tried to
Negotiate with
You know
Justin Cummings
To make sure people didn't go
Into covid
Triage
You know cages and so on
It was a
Quite the thing so I do have
That in my book
Towards the end
You know I grew up in
National Park so I have stories
About that
I have a story about
You know I got cholera
Waiting across the Rio Grande River
When I was in the third grade to play basketball
With my friends and
Buy fireworks and stuff
And
So I've got a story about that
And
You know a story
Another one that I think
People might really be interested in
I have
A lunch crime
Chapter where everybody
And lock up at 850 Bryant
Is there because
Either they tried shoplifting lunch
Or two of them were there for dining and dashing
And I was there for serving lunch
Another one
Where I'm working with this mobster
On a travel brochure
And Michael DeCoccas who's a governor
Of Massachusetts at the time
Stops in twice during 30 days
The chat with the head of the mob
He was running for president of the United States
At the time so suddenly
A lot of great surveillance stories
I've got one where
My home phone becomes a pay phone
A phone I've had for 10 years
Suddenly becomes a pay phone
They insist I have to put coins in it
To call out
A lot of fun stuff
In an Interpol
A whole chapter on
Interpol
Many other
Surveillance stories
Wiretap stories
And
Then family stories
Like my brother being homeless
And how he got off the streets
And
Things like that
So I hope people check it out
Soup Street
A memoir by Food Not Bombs
Co-founder Keith McHenry
That's the first of my memoirs
The audience is asking
The audience is asking if
If any of your honeypot stories
Appear in Soup Street
That's interesting
No, not in this one
For the second volume
I'm in the other one
I kind of do have a honey
I don't talk about it as a
Honey trap
Maybe I kind of
Do infer that pretty strongly
I have
The Fibromyalgia
Of Tucson
Is a chapter
So the honey trap
That I married
So I think you kind of get
The impression that
It might not be overtly clear
That this person is a honey trap
In the way I wrote the chapter
But anyway, we buy a house together
In Tucson
And then 9-11
Happens
And she's fearful that
The house will be taken because
I'm on a terrorist watch list
Already, I've been that way
Since even before we met
And
Then I get fired
From the United Way of Tucson
In southern Arizona
When I went to HR
And said I know
Founa bombs is going to feed a
Protests outside of Raytheon
And I know that would make you guys uncomfortable
So I'm just warning you in advance
Well, that warning was enough to get me fired
And so I have
Stuff like that
In that one thing
And I get fibromyalgia
And then she wants the
Which she may have given to me
Because oddly enough
The symptoms arise
Right when
She and I move in together
In Kansas City, Missouri
And buy a condo there together
And then
So it's a possibility there's a way
They can do something to you
To give you fibromyalgia
And so when
I got valley fever
Right
Before 9-11
Or right after 9-11
And it triggered
A very bad reaction with my fibromyalgia
Which
And then she just
With this fear
Of
The claim that the government would
Seize our house, we kept pestering
We got a temporary divorce
I talked to different lawyer
Friends and they all said there's no way
In Arizona law
The one thing that will never happen
Is your house being taken because of your political
Point of view
But anyway, I was so sick
I was living in the
Back porch because I was screaming
All the time from pain
And she then
So then I got the temporary divorce
And almost immediately
She threatened to
Have me arrested by the Sheriff Department
If I didn't leave right then and there
So that story's in there
But I do think
A classic one I should use
Is
The Belgian honey trap because that was
So
Like
It was way too
That was telegraphed way too much
And I can't believe I fell for it
Was it a Flemish
Concert or is this the
Oh another
Well first I'm going to tell you a honey trap
That didn't catch me
So I was
I had a friend
Who was friends
With this cab driver
In San Francisco
I'm still friends with her and she said
Oh you should hang out with this guy Gabriel
He ran a pirate radio station
In Prague during the Velvet Revolution
And you've got a pirate radio station
In San Francisco Liberation Radio
You probably have a lot in common
So he moved back
To Prague
And I hooked up with him in Prague
And I go
I spent like a week or so
At his apartment
And there's this really attractive
Woman there that has another
Room
Sharing the apartment with him
And she's a big flirt
And you know
And she's
I'm going to go to Bosnia
To take photos of the war
And you should come with me
Because
You know you could say
Feed the children you know
So it's amazing what you're doing and everything
And you know
And then I go well I can't really do that
I've got a lecture in Bologna
And I don't want to stand them up
So thanks for the invitation
We never really got it on
But boy
She was pretty
And so then
Years later
I see this woman on TV
And her name is
Samantha Powers
And then I realize
Aha
Obviously Gabriel
Was an asset of the CIA
Because he was running a pirate radio station
In a communist country
In an attempt to overthrow that government
And of course
He's friends with Samantha Powers
And you read her work and stuff
Of course you know
She writes about how
And does interviews about how she went to Bosnia
To take pictures and so on
And she's like the humanitarian
You know
Person in the U.S. State Department
That
Is always the first one before
Victoria Newen arrives
To set things up like so for a classic
Most recent one
Before Biden left office
Was she showed up in Sudan
And then
Victoria Newen shows up about
A month and a half later
And then
The
U.S. CIA backed
Armed forces rise up
And there's been a bloodbath
Ever since, right?
So that was one of the more interesting
Attempts at being honey trapped
And that was
Not long after my divorce
From my
Wife Andrea who is featured
Throughout the book
I mean we had a lot of exciting things
That she and I did together
Like run for the mafia
And then
So then
But the other one was
I was over in Europe
And this is also like
When you have a long view of the world
Because you have lived a long time
Maybe you've been a lot of places
You know I've been attending these
Anti-EU protests
And then
And things like that
And I was at this thing called
The People's Global Agenda
In Geneva
And a really cool squat
That I was hanging out there
And there's another
So there is a connection to this story
In my book because I have
A chapter on the
Unfree Trade Tour
But anyway so I go back
To
Belgium
To Brussels
And there's
Another connection in the book
Which is I
Had done
I was at the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee
The day the FBI was trying to shut it down
And I ended up saving
The Defense Committee
So I have a chapter on that
So I was connected to the Peltier Defense Committee
And I've been visiting them in Geneva
At the same time I was
I started a relationship
A friendship with
People like
The person from India
That was a physicist and I was based out of name
There's a photo of me and her
That pinned on my
X account
And anyway
So
I can't believe I've read
But anyway since then we've
Done a lot of
You know been in a lot
Of movements together you know
And so
The
Anyway so
I'm in Brussels and I spend like
30 days with
A woman that runs the European
Branch of the Leonard Peltier
Defense Committee and this very attractive
Woman comes every night after work
She's a nurse and a looven
And we
You know it's
It rained every day for 30 days
That's pretty standard
Thing in Brussels and
And so
I didn't really go out much I just hung out
With the
The Defense Committee person and so on
And this woman came after work
So right before I'm going back to the United States
She gives me an envelope
And had soaked in perfume
And said don't open it until you're on the plane
I open it to her in a bathing suit
Because I hadn't really seen her
She was always wearing really heavy
Sweaters and stuff
She's really cute
And then she starts calling me all the time
And then she wants to visit me in the United States
So I agreed to visit her
And then we have this wild fling
Which then turns into a nightmare
And
Waste a huge amount of my time
Which is very typical of these things
And
And so
Then
And you just go
You know
That's obvious that that was
I should have seen that a mile away
When I opened the envelope
This is a scan
So
That can happen
And there can be more subtle ways
Of it happening as well
How they get involved in your life
And
This is super common
It's unfortunate
And you think you're dealing with a really honest person
And then you share a lot with them
And
You know
The
Girlfriend right before
The woman I married
Who
We bought a house together
In Tucson
She was a really wonderful person
But you could, there was red flags there too
That would have been obvious to anyone
But I was like real busy
Being with the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee
And making sure that
Talking to Leonard every day
And all that and then we get together in the weekends
And but in the end
It was like then one day just you're done man
Because
And at the exact time
The Peltier Defense Committee
Is closed on the same exact day
And then I'm in and so
Instead of me
Getting to crash at her place
Since I lost my housing
Oddly enough
She breaks up with me that day too
Over the fact that
I might think that the U.S.
Had something to do with the
Palestinian
Conflict
I thought well yeah obviously
And never considered her last name
Was
The last name of somebody that might be
A Zionist you know
And she lived in Kansas City
For her entire life
And had no friends
Interesting thing
Never met anybody that she knew
The whole time you know
I hung out with her for three years
Very fascinating
So you know they just
Wiggle into your life through some kind of
Oh we're going to take pictures of something
With you and blah blah blah
And aren't you great and da da da da da
So this kind of thing can happen
Luckily that will never happen to me again
But um
But that's uh you know
Those are some honey trap stories
Which I touch on
But yeah I should do one that's just out and out
About a honey trap in the
In my next memoir
Right now I'm working on a story
On that one on
Commander X
And my
And my relationship with Chris
And
His
Um you know
Cyber campaign to free me
From jail in Orlando
Then I've got another one
That I'm working on about my relationship
With Van Jones
Which I think people will find very funny
And uh
So I've got a few different chapters
Like that
So uh
But don't wait for that book
Right? No
We're really bad promoters
Where can they go to pick up soup street
Right now? I did see where somebody
Said they wanted to order it today
So what you do to order it
I don't know why I'm not hearing you very well
Steve but uh
The um you get it
Go to foodnotbombs.net
And on the uh as you scroll past
The uh the
You know the widget for
Sign up for emails
There'll be the on the left side
There's going to be a link
To
The book
Yeah so there you go
And then
You'll see a copy of the book
And there it is
So just click on that
And it'll take you to where to order it
And if you don't have the resources
I say roughly uh
Basically $25 and plus
Postage
But the uh you can see below
Click here to review a pdf
Online
Now for free
So you could potentially read the entire book
Without giving me any money
Which is fine you know I mean it's great
If you bought the book
I think that's you know then you can share the book
And you know and read it on the subway
Or whatever
But um I always
With uh hungry for peace
I have a pdf for the entire book
Uh the anacas cook book
I have a pdf for the entire book
And then I have the pdf
For um soup street
And the reason that I do that
Is not to discourage sales
I actually found that it encourages sales
Oddly enough
Because the pain they ask to read a book
Uh as a pdf and to a certain extent
But I have a lot
Of
Potential audience
Who I can't mail a book to
They do not have
You know like trying to mail books
To places in Africa
Or into the Philippines
It's not always easy
So um I want people to read
My books so I provide
A pdf for the entire book
And people like would go oh that's so stupid
You're giving away your book for free
No one will buy your book
But the reality is it has
It actually
Works the opposite way
And then I love
You know I go to another part
Of the world and somebody's read
The pdf of the book
Or oddly enough sometimes I'll go to
You know I'll go to
Like I mean this
I was in Tel Aviv with Thunapoms
In 2003
And um
I'm staying with Thunapoms kids
And they have this big big room
And there was a long bookshelf
And uh I go oh that
Book looks really interesting no trespassing
So I slide it out
And the very first chapter
Is a really wonderful
Chapter about
The founding of homes not
Jails and uh
You know then years later I find
Out that I'm friends with
His mom but she had a different
Name than Andrew Carr
And I didn't know that until about
Two years ago that her son
Was the author it's kind of funny
But then another similar thing
I'm in southern
Philippines and
I pull out
A book from there
Info shop and it's a book about
Taos written by Mabel
Lujan Dodge called
Winter in Taos
Which is a really amazing book
It's one paragraph long 300 page
Book which is completely
Representative of a winter
In Taos
A long long boring
Winter you know
So but you know it was
And the funny thing was it had the
Bookmark in there from the local
Bookstore in Taos and it's in the
Philippines in a
Info shop you know so you have
These interesting random
Things so you know I did mail
The info shop in Manila
A copy and
You know and
So that does happen but
People can that's a long
Introduction to how you could
Actually buy the book so
Yeah
I did want to
Highlight some good news because
And you'd mentioned the products
The you know things that are
Competing with and being installed
Alongside the flock cameras
Like the signal trace from Leonardo
And
Axon is introducing something called
Like lamp post and
It's it's all
Of that shit but
There there have been
Some wins and I
Think we we need to
Explain
To like anybody and everybody that
We're not just me and you Keith but
Anyone who's listening need to
Explain to people when we're
Talking about the flock products
Aren't unique there are
Multiple different companies that
Make not just license plate
Readers but all other kinds
Of software and we're basically
Playing whack-a-mole with
The surveillance state
Having said that
Good news out of
Los Angeles right now
The LAPD is pulling the plug on some
High-tech surveillance cameras located
Throughout the city flock safety
Operates the surveillance cameras
And its contract with the city ends
Tomorrow eyewitness news reporter tim
Pulliam live for us and to look
Alike with the reason why the LAPD
Is ending this surveillance program
Tim
Mark LAPD uses
Cameras like this one here in Toluca
Lake all over the city but that will
End soon due to privacy concerns
You may not realize it but
This device mounted on a pole
Is capturing your movements
Especially when you're behind the
Wheel the company flock safety
Install the cameras that takes
Images of the make model and color
Of vehicles along with their license
Plates and stores the data so
Law enforcement can track down suspects
In a crime but starting Saturday
LAPD says its ending the department's
Three-year relationship with the
Security firm at least for now
This contract is not being renewed because
Of serious concerns around
Civil liberty and civil rights issues
Particularly around privacy
And the data that's being collected
From these cameras. Some people in the
Community want the surveillance devices
Expanded to more areas but others
Don't. I get it for crime
In everything but it is a little
Uncomfortable.
Here's an interesting tie-in
So you know the
Santa Cruz has a
I'm working on a
Another essay on a subset
Called Bloody Santa Cruz
And
That's because
Ryan Coonerty who's running
For mayor
He
Started a company
Years ago
That was
In part financed
By his
Brother-in-law
Michelle Prody who at the time
Was vice president of Yahoo
According to Ryan's sister
Casey
Her husband is the most
Powerful person at META
Above Mark Zuckerberg
Which potentially could be true
Really. Mark Zuckerberg could be
Just the face.
And so
What his
Predictive policing
Software kept migrating and
Migrating
And one of the earliest uses of
That was publicly announced
Was surveillance
In LA. But we also
Had it here in Santa Cruz
And then that Justin Cummings
There was like a local police
Department went with vice
News around Santa Cruz
To promote the
Predictive policing
And they're driving down Bay
Street and
This black person is walking on
Bay Street. And the black person
Is one of the four or
Five black people in Santa Cruz
And he's a good friend of mine
And so he was walking down the
Street. And so the deputy chief
Of police goes yeah see how
Well our predictive policing is
Working. See this guy is in the
Wrong part of town
Therefore we know he's likely to be
Doing a crime and so
Our predictive policing is working
Really well. And he was just
Walking to London Nelson
You know to go to his
Dance class. But
Anyway so
And so
Because it was a
Black person walking on one
Street you know the
Justin Cummings having seen that
He was able to get predictive
Policing stopped
In Santa Cruz. But then
They had you know then they brought in
Flock and now they brought in all these
Other things. And so it would not
Be surprised that part of this
AI software used by Flock
In LA
Was actually integrated with the
Software that Ryan
Was behind and we know
That Ryan software ultimately
Ended up being
Migrated into
Palantir and is
Being used for targeting
What most likely
Used to target
The elementary
School in Iran
On the first day that
Were Tomahawk missile killed 168
School girls
So it's very very likely that
But when I follow
The paper trail you can see that it
Keeps moving and moving and a
Software keeps being resold
But also here in Santa Cruz
You know we're supposed to be
I think we somebody just
Posted that they took down the
Nuclear free zone signs that
Were you know put up
In the in the 80s
And even though
Lockheed Martin has a
Missile division
In Santa Cruz
And then you have
So if you take
And then you have Google is all
Over Santa Cruz you have Looker
Which is a Google company which
Provides software for identifying
People
And is a
You know is another AI generated
Program out of Santa Cruz yet
The head
Attorney for Google as a mansion
On west cliff
As I keep
Then you have also then you have
Joby
Joby's headquarters Joby
Aviation is headquartered in Santa
Cruz now they make it out like it's
All just about a little flying
autonomous flying taxis
You know that's a post to start
You can apparently for
You know $15 an hour you
Can grab one of these with your
App and fly around and go to
Wherever and an interesting
Thing I've been working towards
This essay
Was so the the founder
Of Joby is
Worth like
Nearly two million two
Billion dollars and
And yet the city of
Santa Cruz gave him
A half million dollars
Interest free
And to make sure Joby
You know was able to employ
People in Santa Cruz
So they do have two thousand employees
Not necessarily all in Santa Cruz
But they're integrated so that
Joby building was a building
That was used by
This by
Companies that were associated
With Ryan Coonerty
So it's like this incestuous
Thing where and then to be you know
Even though it seems like it's a flying taxi
Thing Joby and people
Here hail Joby is a great
Thing the reality is it's
Most of its money comes
From defense contractors and that's
Why this young man has nearly
Two billion dollars
In assets or
He's worth two billion dollars whatever
That means and so
The entire
It's all integrated
All the high rise buildings because
You know they were able to
Get rid of city council
Using out of state money
So they could build a smart 15
Minutes smart city that's what all
The high rises are about
They took bond money
That was supposed to go to renovate
The libraries which
It did do a good job of some of
The smaller libraries
Really beautiful without money
But the bulk of it was end up being
Used for this giant parking
Garage that does have
Like what they're calling low
Income housing which means that
If you only make ninety
Three thousand dollars a year you can
Get in instead of paying the
Four thousand a month
Rent for the studio apartment
Will be like cheaper than that
And you know so that it's
We're like that and they don't
Of all if you go to all the
You go to smart city website
We're not on it yet we're obviously
A smart city I mean that's what
You know you have
You know the
Water is controlled
That way the electricity
Is controlled that way
We have the
You know surveillance is
Controlled that way even before
Flock
They were trying to get rid of free
Speech on Pacific Avenue and
They had had this fight
For even in the
80s and it just kept going
To try to get rid of street
Performers on the main street of
Santa Cruz and so they
Ended up agreeing to
Put
These blue boxes
Which really were like a little
Brackets blue brackets and
Spray paint for
I think they had 60 locations
Originally that was
Agreed upon and then
One night they took half of
Away so I
Decided I would my friend
After food not bombs which
Typically what we did was we handed
Out the leftover food to the street
Performers along Pacific Avenue
With a little wagon and we were
Doing that and I decided I would
I traced the little
Bracket and I decided to
Make return 30
I turned out I overdid I did
33 new
Free speech sites and
I put them often in much better
Locations than the city had had
Them and then the next
You know then the next
Day I see
One of the women that
Ultimately got rid of the city
You know two of the city counselors
Through lying about sexual
Harassment who were opposed
To the
You know skyscrapers being built
In Santa Cruz
The
She's out there with officer
Bush and they're like looking to
Have a clipboard they're trying to
Determine which of the blue boxes
Were the real ones in which we're not
So they come to they go
And spray paint like a
Orange dot on each of the
Bad ones so that public works
That night could erase them
So I got orange spray paint
And I got
On all
63 of them
And the next morning they were all gone
Now they have
To use a brass thing
To
Delineate where your box is
And it does seem like basically
They've now given up and they ignore
Even that
But they did make some kind of
Scheme where if you're selling pottery
Or jewelry you had to pay like a
Licensing fee and all this stuff like
That but otherwise you could just
I just set up wherever I want now
No one's ever even talked to me about it
But so
How they can convicted me
Was that there was
Video cameras all up and down
I ended up getting charged
With felony vandalism
And then my
Then girlfriend was also charged
Even though she had nothing to do with it
But she was in the
Surveillance photos
Behind me
And she had
The backup stencils and the wagon
Of bagels and so they
Pinned it on her
And me
And we ended up being in
Glam magazine for best mug shots
Ever
So anyway the
You know they so they already
They have all these videos of
Photos of me walking down
Pacific Ave with a stencil
And which I knew they were doing
But I was like fuck those people
I don't care where's it going to happen
As you can get arrested and charged with a felony
So which was what
Happened then it was funny
There's a YouTube video
I think it's on Santa Cruz Food Not Bombs
YouTube channel
Where somebody
Covertly
Audio taped the
My final statements
And the final statements of the DA
And it was so much fun
You know I had
In exchange for them
Dropping the charges of my
So-called co-conspirator
Who was losing the plot
Over this thing
The you know
I
I guess I got like
30 days in house detention
Or something like that
Which ended up being a really funny experience too
Because I had an ankle bracelet
And the person that signed me up
For it was
Taking over
From the normal guy
So I provided a list
Of all the places I would go during my job
My job being food not bombs
And giving lectures
So you know I had a lecture
In Sacramento
So essentially I was never at home
I was just doing all kinds of stuff
But legitimately that was what
You know my job
So to speak if you had a job
And when they
Accidentally they arrested me
At the start of a memorial
For a homeless person
Seeing that I weren't for my rest
And so they took me down to jail
And they cut off the
You know the
Tracker
The ankle bracelet
And the guy cutting it off is like
Looking at the paperwork
And they go what
They let you do all these things
Why you have the ankle bracelet
He was like really
But then that ends the ankle bracelet
Thing right whatever
And then I spent the night
In jail and then I get out in the
Sheriff's department and end up meeting
With me and apologizing because
There was no warrant for my rest
And there was their fault and blah blah blah
But I did do the memorial service
In the sub block that I was in
And everybody in there had known Mickey
So it was kind of cool I did one
Memorial service inside while my friends
Were doing it outside for Mickey
But it just showed that
Video surrounds back then
Where there wasn't flock
And there wasn't any of those things
Was already in the
You know a violation of our rights
You know right then
So you know can imagine
What would go on now
And people think you know
You hear the you watch these videos
And people will go well
People say if you don't have anything
You're not doing a crime you know
You don't need to worry about it
But you're out of here they can piece together
Whatever they want and make it look like you were a crime
You know we see that in other
Like when they frame the
You know the
RNC-8
The freedom of arms kids in Minneapolis
You know they used
Oh he went they went to Home Depot
And they bought a white bucket
And then they go well that's the white bucket
They put the over here and did this
You know so you know
We've got a receipt a photo of them
Going into the Home Depot and now
We made up an entire story showing
That they were terrorists because they
Went to Home Depot you know
That they
No matter who you know
Particularly if you have anything
To say
You know you might like say these people
That were against flock in their town
Because the noise was so loud
Now they're
What are they like anti-technology
Violent extremist right
So you might have thought
That it was normal to go to
A city council to denounce
The
Insulation of
AI surveillance
Data center
And end up being like
Targeted as a terrorist
And you had no idea that you would be targeted
I mean so it could be very widespread
And I think
I was talking to my friend that does my
FOIAs Freedom of Information Act
Request Ryan Shapiro
Property of the people he's like
According to the FBI
They complained that he knew more about FOIAs
Than
Even they did
And he teaches these classes
I started hanging out with them
At animal rights conferences and stuff
And he would give a class on
For instance when you do a Freedom of Information Act
Request
They never find
Anything on you
And that's because
They
Have an unsearchable
Database
Can't be searched
And that's only for the purpose
Of sending you a letter
Saying they couldn't find anything
And I wondered why that was the case
Because I worked for the National Park Service
In
1976
In 1977
And you fill out these forms
That say FBI on the top
Right
And then
We did a FOIA back then
And oddly enough one of my friends did get
Files back
But I got nothing
Even though I
Should have at least gotten the
Two forms I filled out back
And
And it was really interesting
She was at a meeting
We were trying to shut down
See if we could go to the power station
And
She has this meeting
At her house
And three other people
Like suggest that they rob the
Armory and take all the guns
And bring them to the protest and hand them out
And then we were the overthrow of the
You know
That was the logic of stopping
The nuclear power station
Well everybody at that meeting
The other three people were
FBI And she was the only one
At the meeting that was not
And we kept thinking wow it's weird
Who thought of robbing a
Because we would hear the rumor
That somebody was going to rob an Armory
And hand out guns and thought
That's really suicidal
But anyway that's what happened
So it turns out that
I'm hanging out with Ryan
A while ago and he's like
Yeah super dangerous for people
Like us
You know right now
Because they're definitely
Targeting anarchists like crazy
But he did have an interesting
Point with all these decades
Of reading FBI
And CIA memos
That the current government
Is insane
And so
Basically what would happen
Is they get a
You end up somehow on their radar
And then they just go after you
And screw with you but it's not
Based on some kind of mass logic
Of collecting all this data
It's just because they're idiots
And for some reason
You seem like a good target
That helps them on whatever their agenda is
Rather than it be
The frame ups that we've
Experienced before which were
You know he thinks that
Yeah it's an interesting point
You know it's a possibility that
They're so disorganized and so chaotic
That unless it's got good TV
You know stuff
That would go with it
So that's what happened with the
Infiltrators in the
Prairland community
Protests
They realize
That this would be really good to
Highlight their campaign against
Anarchists and Antifa
And so we'll
Plant like somebody to shoot
At the cop and everything and it'll all work out
But it doesn't mean that every single
Activist thing that you're doing
Is necessarily going to be
Even with infiltrators
Which every
There's really actually sadly no way to get around that
Is going to necessarily
Lead to you getting
Convicted
And falsely charged and all that
It's just a
Kind of a disorganized
Array but you could be
Out of their total insanity
You might be the one
You know so you just don't know
But I don't think that's wise to be
All paranoid and
Think that you're going to
Go down at the beginning of this whole
Thing I was a bit concerned and I went
To Mexico for
About 45 days
When the sheriff was started
Parking outside my house
Right after Jesse
Waters did that thing about antifa
And then they just did all this
Oh they had the thing where
You know
Housing matters and Santa Cruz
Well basically this is what they're implying
Is that the homeless shelters
Were paying antifa
To stop homeless sweeps
Which I thought was really funny
Since our shelter
Housing matters
Is actually coordinating
With the police to do the sweeps
And we're protesting housing matters
You know it's funny
But at the big antifa round table
At the White House you know
Somebody from turning point USA
Supposedly a journalist was like
You know and it was on Fox TV for a while
So I actually laid out my book
While I was on tour in
Mexico in the beginning of the year
And
You know
I had random extra time
And I had done
An interview with John Carriacou
While I was in
Agua Caliente
And then I thought one day
Oh I should look at the comments on the YouTube
And people were very nice
And kind about
The interview and me
I thought well maybe people would buy a book
You know about
My memoir
So I'll lay it out because I've been
Kind of putting that off as quite a task
And I had it all laid out by the time
I got back to the United States
So pretty psyched by that
And I think the layout came really good
You know
I can't
I definitely want to get
A copy
We'll have to meet up
I was thinking maybe
This year because we've been doing
A meet up
Every November 30th
For Henry Kissinger's
Death Day
Yeah
And so I was thinking maybe we could
Go to Santa Cruz this time around
And hang out with
Foundering, hang out with you
If not we'll get together at some point
But yeah
I definitely want to
Want a copy of that book
And I want to mention
When you're writing about Commander X
By the way
Definitely
But yeah let's
Because I gotta start to
To wind down here in the next 10
Minutes or so
So
Remind people
Once again how to best
Keep up with you
How to get the book and
Yeah other than that man
You guys you know support
There's probably a food not bombs
Chapter where you live
Yeah in fact in my writing class
With Andy the other day he was
You know said
So weird I was in Guatemala
And somebody's telling me about
How they feed the homeless and back
Where they are and they go oh is
That food not bombs and they're like oh yeah
And then he was all excited oh I
Keith is in my class you know
So they are they're everywhere
They're absolutely
I think there's like 1500 chapters
Basically I keep you know like
In the Boston area some
People came to soup stock
Or 46th anniversary
And they are from Boston
And they were naming off all
The little towns around Boston
And neighborhoods in Boston
That all have food not bombs
So there is one near you probably
And if you don't have one go to foodnotbombs.net
And then contact me
And I'll send you information
On how to start one
And I do sometimes like right now
After this I have to communicate
With somebody about how to connect
With London England food not bombs
You know so sometimes I update
The map you know
Six or seven times in a day
When I was in Mexico
I was doing that
Sometimes three or four times an hour
Because that's when food stamps
Got cut off and
So
Then so
You can reach me at you know
The emails on foodnotbombs.net
Menu at foodnotbombs.net
Comes to me
Also I have a sub stack
And I hope someday
You know not that I'm trying to
Get rich
But I could always use a little money
I'm hoping that
Stripe eventually gives up
And lets me get paid subscribers
But that's a anarchist cook
So I have anarchistcook.blog
Which is my WordPress
Which is a mirror image
So basically when I write an essay
I do my WordPress
Anarchistcook.blog
And then I
Transform it over
To my sub stack
And it's keithmakenry.subtac.com
Or something like that
And that's what it looks like
My last one was
As you can see about
I tell this story of
The first McHenry
Coming to
The Americas
And lead into
A whole thing about
You know how
We're now in a fascist state
And I'm at the end of the 250 years
You know it was my fourth of July
250 years sub stack basically
The one before that as you could see
With the backpack
Of the children
That's called
You've been banned for life
And that's a pretty good outline
Of the surveillance state in Santa Cruz
And I have a lot of entries
On the prayer land case
As it was evolving in much of my
Substax
I've got one on Smart City of Santa Cruz
Called
Town clock center of control
And also the first one that's up there
Is
How did I know
Which details
Outlines the surveillance information
I learned from my grandfather
Before he passed when I was 14
And it also then goes through
The rest of my life of surveillance
And that's how I know
Basically
And then
Those are the ways to connect with me
Foodnotbombs.net
And the most important thing is to volunteer
With the Foodnotbombs from my perspective
Is to volunteer with the Foodnotbombs
Or start a Foodnotbombs because
You know when I was back talking
A little bit about vanguard movement
To overflow the government and blah blah blah
You know that's a nice romantic
Dream of the 60s and 70s
But the reality is
We're in such a situation that it might be
The revolution is really
More about stepping aside
A bit and doing mutual aid
And caring for each other
And coming up with
Systems of survival
You know
In this kind of environment
It's not about like challenging the government
Although it would be great to have like
General strikes and things like that
But there is no way to really have
Like some kind of so far anyway
A cohesive answer
To all of this where
You know like in the old days
You'd have Marxist, Leninist and whatever it is
That would
You know you'd have this
To have a revolution and then you'd set up
Like some kind of a
Hierarchical system to rule
And
Which has been a pretty big failure
Essentially worldwide
You know and
And so
Maybe it's a matter of just like
What's happening with people cutting down
Float cameras and things like that
And it's all decentralized
And then you know and then there's a bunch
Of decentralized actions against
AI surveillance
Data centers and non-cooperation
With these things as much as possible
Where you don't really use their
You know things that are
That are
You know trying to control us
You know that might be what the revolution
Is at this point
And definitely
In that
Substack
You know revolution of
Compassion
What I find is most Americans
Are compassionate
Even though it went from social media
And the TV and everything you think
That we all hate each other
And the Trumpers are like
You know come out and kill everybody
There's definitely weird Trumpers
That are racist
Crazy people right
It's not
I also have people that voted
Friends that voted for Trump
Who are some of the most wonderful people in the world
But I'm not going to support any of Trump's positions
I'm not going to
I don't have nothing to do with Trump
But just to be smeared because
You have a friend who was actually
A very nice smart compassionate person
Who for whatever
Misguided reason thought that
Q and on was a real
Or whatever
I'm not going to hate that person
Unless they are in this case
In every case actually none of the people
I know that
Thought Trump might be a hope
Were racist at all
I mean
They just thought that
What was going on was horrible
And they were like grasping for
Some savior
Which is a horrible
Aspect of the surveillance culture that we have
And so
That's
I find that
Basically
People are really kind
They see
There are a lot of jerks
But they might be liberal democrats
You know
It doesn't just mean
That the Trumps in fact
I have to say
The only people I've been a beaten
Assaulted by in the last
20 years
Were members of the
Democratic Socialists of America
Who are the ones that threw me on the ground
When I couldn't prove
I was vaccinated
All 8 of them
All 8 of them Keith
All 8 of them
Or they just pushed
The biggest one into you
That's also plausible
One of the main
Well the woman that first attacked me
Was like about 250 pounds
And the second guy was like
Almost 7 feet and definitely
250 pounds
The other one was
A very small person
But yeah 3 people attacking
And I have a bad back
So I was like completely worried
That I would need another
Back surgery after that
That's crazy
It's crazy well Keith
It's always a delight to talk to you my friend
It is
Thanks for having me
About at the end of the time
We got to hang out soon
And yeah I know I say that
Every time and it's only like an hour and a half way
But it's a really long hour and a half
That could be a pain in the ass
It's $10.50
To cross that bridge
That's crazy
When I first moved here I was homeless
And lived at the
Samuel P. Taylor State Park
I think it is and
It was like $2
To go across the bridge so it wasn't so bad
Being homeless and living in a state park
Yeah
I think when I moved here
It was
Maybe it had just gone to $5
Or something like that
And
Or moved here and really started paying attention
And driving around and shit like that
I think it was cheaper in the 90s
But early 2000s
It was $5
And to go from that
To $10.50 without doing anything
You're really
Other than squeezing people
And it's $10.50 every bridge
Yeah
Every time we go to my girl sister's house
It's
Freakin'
Just slap that on to the super cheap gas
We have in California
Oh yeah
The houseboats are all still here
And stuff like that
Or at least the ones in Marin
Where Marin City is
They're all still there
Well thanks to the viewer
Who just bought a copy
Of
Soup Street from
Somewhere in Texas
So it's really cool
No we love that, we do
And then yeah
Rest of you guys
T-Lab Tuesday
Tomorrow
And Uncle Ted Talks
And then
Yeah
Speeding on through the week
As they all seem to just sort of
Roll over
Into the same
One long
Uh
I don't know
Cavalcade of goofiness
Yeah
It's insane, yeah
It seems like the psychops are
Wilder than ever
So it's gonna be a lot of fun
Right?
I did think it was hilarious
That they tried to do 4th of July fireworks
At the Golden Gate Bridge
Like there wasn't gonna be fog in July
I know
When I first moved here in 87
I went to see the fireworks
And I'm like going through the woods
On the Presidio to get a good view
And I finally get to the edge
You know maybe above Baker Beach
Or something
Yeah and all it was is like glow
Randomly
And I'm not too sure there's ever been a successful fireworks
In San Francisco
Where you could actually see
Really hard to pull off
I think there was a
Like one outside lands a few years back
It might even been 10 years back
Where it was kind of clear
And there was a hardly strictly
Bluegrass Festival
Where it was super clear
And I think it was either
Fleet Week
Or the Giants were
In the World Series or something like that
And from
The Polo Fields
We could see fireworks
Yeah but that's like it
We're lucky because we're right at
Fireworks Central down here
And all the illegal fireworks
Are fantastic you know you just go out to the
Coast and it wasn't foggy
At all down here
And you got to watch all the
DIY fireworks
Display pretty cool
I guess they banned fireworks
In LA
So every single neighborhood was setting them off
Yeah that's the thing here
We're not supposed to do any fireworks here either
But boy it was a good show
Right
I don't know how to do rules as they say
Right
Alright you guys
Thanks again Keith
Thanks you guys for watching
Thanks to
Lou G
For some value for value
And then something
A little bit just came
In from somebody
Cody
Thank you Cody

Hangout smear merchants
Yeah
