Welcome back to New World Next Week. I'm James Corbett of CorbettReport.com.
And I'm James Evan Poguato of MediaMonarchy.com. What there was was an exchange of information.
We have got that story plus the last Rock Rebel, the Revenge of Morrissey. But first,
U.S. launched kamikaze drones against Iran, grabbing this first story from zero hedge
in the first 72 hours of Operation Epstein Fury.
U.S. forces conducted more than 1700 strikes across Iran on high value IRGC military assets
and leadership. Notably, U.S. Central Command indicated the operation also marked the first
combat use by the military of one-way kamikaze drones, a newly added capability.
Now this is really something, James. I'll jump now to the register, which of course
is its own drones. The Pentagon, the pentagrams I like to call it, has confirmed that the U.S.
forces struck Iranian targets using weapons that are copies of Iran's own Shahid 136
Suicide Drones. When Operation Epic Fury began on the morning of February 28th,
involved in the action was Task Force Scorpion Strike, the U.S. military's first one-way
attack drone squadron based in the Middle East. U.S. CENTCOM, part of the Department of War,
responsible for directing military operations across the Middle East and South Central Asia,
disclosed the unit's involvement in a press release. The first hours of the operation
included precise munitions launched from air, land, and sea. Additionally, CENTCOM's
Task Force Scorpion Strike, which is actually difficult to say, employed low cost
because that's the most important way to kill, one-way attack drones for the first time
in combat, it stated. Task Force Scorpion Strike TFSS was only announced in December
when it was said to have formed up with a squadron of low cost, unmanned combat
attack system, Lucas drones. These have an extensive range and are designed
to operate autonomously. They can be launched with different mechanisms to
include catapults, rocket-assisted takeoff, and mobile ground and vehicle-sense
systems, CENTCOM said at the time. According to CNN, sidebar Paramount Sinai 1
over QT-Swix for Warner. According to CNN Paramount, the Lucas drones were
developed after technicians reverse engineered a Shahid-136 drone from
Iran, which the U.S. happened to capture a few years ago. A couple of
extra related links on these. Drone strikes on Amazon data centers in the
Middle East reveal the urgent need to defend innocent life. No, AI. That's
what the article from Zero Head says. And another also completely different
story. Starmer faces dilemma after British base in Cyprus hit by drones.
Begun the drone war has, James. Unfortunately so. And I will just
throw in one other related on this that shows the calculus that is involved in
these drone strikes in these types of warfare situations. This coming from
Japan Times. Iran's missile math, $20,000 drones, take on $4 million
patriots. So yes, we've heard all of the hyperventilating about, oh my God,
the U.S. military industrial complex is running out of their expensive
Patriot interceptors and other such things because of these $20,000
drones. And of course, dot, dot, dot, what's the answer to this? Well, now the
Trump administration is asking Congress for another $50 billion to wage their
Iran war to replenish their stocks of weapons and replenish the stocks of
Raytheon and Lockheed and all the other military industrial vultures that
they are feeding, of course. So no surprise there. And if this sounds
familiar, then ding, ding, ding, you are paying attention and you always
here at first on Corbett report and or media monarchy. So I will flash
people back to December of 2024 when I was writing about this exact thing
that we are starting to see take place in every major conflict right now,
these kamikaze drone attacks. I was writing the drone wars. You are
not prepared about exactly what we are seeing playing out right now.
And here we are and it's happening and it's not, of course, just
drone technology. It's all the latest whiz bang technology that is
playing more and more of a factor in these military operations. For
example, Ice Age Farmer coming out of retirement seemingly with this post,
Iranian cyber attack insiders warn of, say it with me, cyber 9 11. Yes,
of course, people on the inside of US intelligence is warning about the
cyber 9 11 that's going to happen because of check notes. Who's the
enemy of the week? Oh, the Iranians. Yes, Chinese Russians. No,
Iranians are the ones who are going to do it. I tell you and when
and when and as your Facebook goes down and or whatever
false flag they pull, you'll know who to blame guys because you have
absolutely no way of checking. But trust me, it was the Iranians.
Or how about this one from FT, our good old friends at FT is AI
playing a role in what is going on in Iran right now. Well, I did
talk about the anthropic angle on this and their brouhaha spat with
the Department of War recently in my Iran war post podcast. But
here's a new angle on that how AI fakes are turning satellite
images into war misinformation. Talking about how people are
now spreading these photos online of, you know, this type of
satellite imagery we always see in this with the here's the area
before the bombing and here's the area after the bombing and
it turns out the area after the bombing is an AI generated
fake. It's not real and even down to the exact same vehicles in
the exact same location supposedly in this photo taken a year
apart, etc, etc. So yes, AI deep fakery, nonsense is going to
be a factor in these types of things playing out now and
now you have strikes on AI data centers is being an important
part of these types of military operations. So long story
short, I hate the fact that I can see this taking place
with such clarity and that this is the analog of the Spanish
Civil War 19 late 1930s we got the preview of World War Two,
which previewed a number of things the ideological splits
and the factions and what different fighting forces look like
but specifically military preview of World War Two, as in
the Göring's Luftwaffe and the bombing raids that were
not a factor in World War One, we're definitely going to
be a factor in World War Two. You got a little sneak preview
of them in the Spanish Civil War. If the analog is we are in
that 1936, 78 period heading into the 1939 advent of World
War Two. If we are on the cusp of World War Three, we are
getting the preview of exactly what that will look like and
how it will play out and what types of whiz bang military
technologies they're going to start unleashing on the
public. Hey, guess what guys guess what we can do.
So unfortunately we're seeing that if people want to know
more about that. Well, I wrote the drone wars back in
December 2024. So I'm calling it and I'm going to write the
AI Wars. You are not prepared in my subscriber newsletter
this weekend. Subscribe to the Corbett Report and you will
be ahead of the game as usual.
The yellow journalism angle to the Spanish American war
can't be forgotten as well. Of course, the media's
massive role in this. What is it? You supply the pictures
and I'll supply the war. I'm not mixing up my wars.
Spanish American war, Spanish Civil War different, but it is
a good reference because that is exactly, yeah, supply the
pictures, we'll supply the war. The AI deepfake pictures
in this case. So how about this one though? Anthropics
Claude app is now the number one app on the Apple store
because of the battle with Trump and the Pentagon. People
are now adopting. Don't use TikTok. Use Anthropic
because that's going to totally own those Trumpers.
This is also the same Apple app store that didn't allow
drone strike app that showed you all the times they were
killing innocent civilians. We'll put that up in the
links as well. Again, it's just changed. We've been
doing this for a long time man and just to see the same
plays being moved and no one really seeming to
stay up with it. I was rerunning my morning show from
15 years ago today and it had a lot of coverage on the
president who was launching this CIA led war in the
Middle East, complete devastation, journalist assaulted,
world cheers as the CIA plunges Libya into chaos.
The cast of characters may change, but the agenda
does not and really I'd say if alt media was as
popular as it is now we might have been able to
actually stop some of this stuff. That is how we get going
on this New World Next Week episode 621. Our second
story takes us down south to my neighbor, Mexico
forces kill El Mencho after U.S. help and then
violence hits multiple states. Mexico forces kill
El Mencho, which of course translates to the Mencho.
Mexico's security forces killed Nemesio Ruben Osuera
Cervantes, Nemesis Cervantes. The country's most
wanted drug lord following information that the U.S.
assisted on. Trump has four months pressed Mexican
officials to target drug cartels and the U.S.
offered up a reward of up to $15 million assuming
you know you call the right number when you see
Luigi sitting in the freaking McDonald's. Up to
$15 million for information leading to the arrest of
El Mencho, who led the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
I call them the new power generation cartel on my
shows. I had tipped to prints. They are a designated
terrorist organization in the U.S. Mexican president
Shinebaum urged people via post to her social
media accounts to remain calm after violence
erupted in multiple locations following the
security operation in the western state of Jalisco
that the Mexican defense ministry said killed El
Mencho and three other C.J.N.G. members. Now
I think he got shine bombed. But get this part
James, this is coming from Reuters. Romantic
Trist led to Mexican cartel leaders capture
comma death. A tip about drug lord El Mencho's
romantic liaisons led Mexican authorities to the
cartel leaders hideout in the small town of
Olisco state where he was killed. Mexican
authority said in the first account of the ambush
that spawned violence much across Mexico, which
is I really think the main way a lot of people
heard about this story because we also had
some friends and colleagues like our buddy Dan
Dix that was stuck there for a while. We
heard about the aftermath and weren't really
sure why all of this started at least that's
my own that's my own position. The U.S.
provided intelligence to help pinpoint the
exact location of the compound where Mexican
authorities found the cartel boss, but
Mexican officials underscored that they
spearheaded the operation. They just didn't
know where he was. There was no participation
in this operation of U.S. forces. What there
was was an exchange of information.
President shine bomb said Defense Minister
Ricardo Trivia said information from a
confidant of one of Oswera's romantic
partners helped officials quickly plan the
raid for the following day at the crime
bosses compound and that's all they say
about it in this giant article headlined
romantic tris led to Mexican cartel leaders
capture and death but James I guess
honeypot booty cometh before the fall.
Evidently and I hope that the friend of
this romantic partner is now safely halfway
around the world hiding out in Timbuktu
or something because I imagine they've
relieved enough information for the
cartel to go after this person if they
want but anyway that being what it is
I am certainly no expert on Mexican
drug cartels and politics and what's going
on there. So I can direct people
obviously people probably saw Dan Dix's
updates as he was trying to get out of
there. I also listened to a rare solo
podcast from Hervoy Morich of geopolitics
and Empire talking about his own personal
experience going through the drug cartel
blockades and things like that so
definitely some interesting insight there
but as far as I know this cartel
this JNSG or whatever it is is not a
singular hierarchical structure with a
singular leader and one one structure
that everyone adheres to it's more like
a group of organizations and factions
that collude as need be so they sound
anarchist. Well you know there there is
an interesting sort of structure that
forms around organizations like this
that means that you can decapitate
the head it certainly does not mean
that the entire organization is going
to fall apart and this is from the
from what I've seen on this this is a
lot of people's takes is that actually
this just causes more of the destabilization
and chaos and is not going to contribute
towards you know ending the drug cartel
but again I certainly am no expert on
any of this if people have good sources
they're on the ground in Mexico that
are covering this let me know I'd be
interested to hear about it. Leading
to more destabilization I mean that's
the that's the A number I was going to
joke so I go are we talking about Mexico
are you talking about Iran again
destabilization is what it is all
about and James I really think well
this is also the speculation about
Kashpat tells he way out kicked his
coverage on a hot girlfriend everybody's
like she's an Israeli spy but I think
these drone stories I think a lot of
this man all kind of sinks as well
with the story from the El Paso
airport recently in the Cuban boat
shooting thing US military used lasers
to take down border drone protection
drone US military used a laser to shoot
down a seemingly threatening drone flying
near the US Mexico border it turned out
to belong to customs and border
protections that's nice when the trash
takes itself out American citizen
among those killed in Cuba boat
shooting so James we had the recent
state of the Union address here in
the States it was quite the show
and as much as secretary of state
Marco Rubio has on his plate man you
know he he getting at Cuba would be
would be a big get for Marco Rubio
there are a lot of moves being made
on the bland chessboard but I want to
talk about Morrissey pretty fantastic
article from the spectator James I
believe you said it sounds like I
could have written it myself Morrissey
is the last rock rebel two big
events in the world of pop culture
took place last Saturday in Manchester
there were the big the Brit Awards
basically their Grammy Awards one by
one the bourgeois brats who swell the
ranks of popular culture blood like
babies over the rise of the political
group reform I'm genuinely terrified
said someone called self-esteem because
these kids are not all right man
Britain is becoming a fascist state
wailed something called see Matt the
rise of reform is a really bad thing
says the guy who plays base for
Wolf Alice and then there was the
Morrissey show at the O2 in London
as those sons and daughters of privilege
opined the rise of populism while
picking up their golden gongs in
Manchester Manchester's most sullen
son was enthralling a crowd of
20,000 down south doesn't quite
play to shows that big here anymore
in the States he defended the
waving of the British flag he had a
pop at cancel culture he derided
the jealous bitches of the
cultural elite who lust after the
scalp of any mortal who dares
disagree with them what an extraordinary
spectacle the fresh-faced popped kids
of the new millennium dutifully spouting
every establishment talking point
while some 66 year old bruiser from the
80s sounded a stirring note of descent
please make the note how this echoes
everything I've complained about in
the COVID punk era of the last
now six years Morrissey really
is the last rock rebel being at
the brits must have felt like being
whacked over the head with a rolled up
copy of a guardian being at the O2
felt electrifying we knew we were in
the presence of a man frowned upon
by the self-righteous Morrissey's
crime was to deviate from the watery
left slop that passes for progressive
thought these days he expressed
support for four Britain he had a
little button on his jacket wants to
a minor hard right party
he lamented Britain's broken borders
a view now widely shared by armies
armies of angry voters and again
that's in his songs from 1992
he celebrated Brexit
so of course Maz was
mocked on the Simpsons
Disney garbage
zombie Simpsons which accounts for
nothing the world's oldest record
store in Cardiff Wales banned his albums
you can still get Bill Cosby
and Gary Glitter and Puff Dittler
there too though Saturday
felt like the revenge of Morrissey
it was one in the eye for cancel culture
the unpersoned is stirring back
to glorious life long live Maz
the man who knows the nation
far better than his supreme persecutors
oh and by the way
he does have a brand new album coming out
this Friday James did you see me
jump on stage and hug Morrissey
flouting
regulations in the coof era
I brought the gift of that moment lives on
doesn't it it does
she just thinks to media monarchy member
girder for gifting my moment of jumping on stage
Brock please put it on screen again
whew holy moly
there is a lot going on
and that was New World next week episode
621 James
any Morrissey thoughts
yes actually I do have some thoughts
because it strikes me that this is
of course the inevitable
end stage of exactly what
you've been documenting here on New World next week for years now
the complete death
and disintegration of the idea of the rock rebel
and yeah that seems like
there's one maybe two or three left but
basically none and maybe
that accounts for the fact that there are no rock stars
anymore as has been noted
many times when it was the last who
was the last rock star because in the 21st
century someone who started in the
2000s who is a rock star a genuine
certified worldwide famous rock star
no not really it's now pop
stars right and it is interesting
to me that every every decade
every generation is given their cultural
programming by the cultural programmers
and in the 60s and 70s of course
yeah it was all about protest and folk songs
and coming together anti-war and marching
out on the streets because that was the programming
that was being given to that generation
at that time by the 90s
you started to have the change over I just saw
a ridiculous clickbait video
about that took a section
of a Billy Corgan podcast where he was
talking about being there at MTV
in the late 90s as this the
flip the switch was flipped
and they went from promoting rock and
that that idea to
gangsta rap and suddenly you can wave guns
in videos and all these things that you weren't allowed to do
before and there was that cultural change
that took place as a result of that
then you move into the zero zero you got the
T-Pain and others who are bringing
the transhumanist hey now you want to sound
like a robot because that's what's
what's going to sell records these days
right and that's the cool thing right kids
I'm one of you fellow younglings
that is again
just a reflection every decade
they they pull out the new
programming that they want for this generation
to grow up with and we have reached
the end of that road and hey
it's amazing there are people like
Morrissey still around who are actually
still able to give an actual middle
finger to the establishment
how few and far between is that
these days at least of course as we've
talked about many times in the mainstream
the big labels and all of that but
who cares about them the real
the real music the real rock spirit lives
on independence
people who are not signed to the major labels
we all know that in this community by now
but anyway yeah
honestly it is amazing
to watch the complete disintegration
of the idea of the rock rebel
as a as a figure in pop
culture and I
sure haven't heard anything from
the bad religion guys about their
great great buddy Noam Chomsky
and all his connections to worldwide
rape trafficking and Epstein
because that's all Trump is
of course they only see conspiracies against
their other sort of political
coke and Pepsi enemy
changing it really I mean it's hit me a lot
in the last few decades
how much of what the 90s
were about suicidal
babies and thugs and I
find myself wanting to listen to poison
way more than I ever
want to listen to any of that crap
a bunch of the kids who are also
yelling and crying at the Brit Awards
recently through a fit and again
rightfully so when they found out
Casey Wasserman the guy
who ran their talent agency
he's all up in the Epstein files
so they all staged a big stink
and all kinds of people quit and now dude
has to sell his agency
because no one wants to work for him his name is
mud anymore wait till
they find out who owns all the labels
that they signed to James
good grief
we run newworldnextweek.com
and that's a way to support media
monarchy and corporate report action
you got our gear you got our media
you know DVDs like 9-11 war games
and I get the
exclusive audio of these new world next
week episodes before they are published I play
the audio on my monarchy
radio stream and James here in about
an hour and 10 minutes you
are going to join us in the members only
media monarchy community and we are
going to watch the lone gunman
pilot episode the spin
off from the X files that 25
years ago today nearly
pretty much to the hour aired the
pilot episode it's that crazy
one you may have heard about where remote
controls are used to hijack commercial
jets to crash them into the world trade center
to start war for civilization and
something I was going to say earlier James
it's all about the war profiteering
whether it's Destro
to Rhett Butler man it is about
selling weapons to both sides
I don't care about sides
I they care about that the big big money
caring about sides
is for the dinguses and dum-dums
watching Johnny TV
James I'm excited you're going to join us
for the lone gunman I've never actually watched
the entire episode
I know all the links from
20 years ago in the
heady days of 9-11 truth man
yeah yeah I haven't watched it since
I did 9-11 war games so it will be good
to refresh my memory on that but
we should let people know an hour and 10 minutes
from now as we're recording this but by the time
you've seen it that's already well in the past so you
missed it and that is because
you're a dingus and dum-dum who is
not in the media monarchy community don't
be a dingus or a dum-dum sign up
for media monarchy and you can
be part of this discord community you can join
in these things as they are happening
and support real
actual alternative independent media by
real actual independent human
beings so put your money where your
mouth is become a media monarchy member and
hey maybe become a corporate report member while
you're at it last year I did
a special exclusive offer of giving the
assigned hardcover or selling signed
hardcover copies of my book
only to corporate report members and
I have another exclusive offer coming up
soon only for corporate report members so
become a corporate report member and you can find out about that
before it happens hopefully
but I think we'll leave it there for this week James
always a pleasure getting these stories
from you and always a bit worrying
when we take a week off because that's generally where
major wars start so we have
continued that long trend
with our week off last week let's
not let's not take a week off for a little while
okay okay all right
and all the world will be okay
thanks everybody take care man
all right take care buddy
