57 Anton Chaitkin: WHO WE ARE, America's Fight for Universal Progress

Anton Chaitkin is a historian and investigative journalist whose new book is Volume II of WHO WE ARE: America's Fight for Universal Progress, from Franklin to Kennedy. Volume II covers the 1830s to the 1890s, celebrating the people and policies that took us from no manufacturing and no transportation into being the most prosperous and advanced nation on earth.

We defied the rules of empire, which are the same rules imposed on the world today by the European Union, NATO, by the Anglo-American elite.

The world envisioned by our Founders, and by Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy, was one of sovereign nations filled with people exercising their God-given right to improve their conditions, to raise their standard of living, and who wanted the same for all people in every nation.

Which was the opposite of the empire, which seeks to dominate or exploit other nations.

The people ruling our country since the murder of John F. Kennedy have deindustrialized our country. They deindustrialized much of Western Europe. They stripped Germany, turning the people, the ruling strata, into fools, to take down their own industry. We went to China to get cheap labor and closed down our own industry. We are induced to be fools by the imperial clique called globalists.

We can and must learn who we were so we can be that again, a people dedicated to our own progress and wellbeing and to the progress and wellbeing of every nation on earth.

Anton also writes at AntonChaitkin.Substack.com about the fight between the pro-humans and the empire.

We recorded this on Saturday, April 19, 2025, the 250th anniversary of the battles at Lexington and Concord, the start of the American Revolution.

Our fight for self-government inspired the world; the idea that we had the right to sovereignty and to progress, to improve our condition, to raise our standard of living.

These ideas especially two monarchical empires, France and Spain, who helped us in our struggle against Britain. Russia under Empress Catherine the Great also helped us by creating the League of Armed Neutrality in 1780, to continue trade with us in the face of British menace.

Anton describes the battle between the patriots and the Tories during our Revolution. The Tories were loyal to the British Empire; they were Anglo-Saxon white people who didn’t want any colored people anywhere to get the idea that they had rights given to them by God. (Southern aristocrats, wealthy by way of slavery, epitomized the empire’s economics and predations. -Bruce)

Families in New England and Virginia became wealthy by trading in slaves, then, with the British, in the opium trade to China. These Tories became the “Establishment” in New England, and in New York they became Wall Street. They became the aggressive slave-owners who tried to break up the country in the Civil War.

From our founding to the end of the 19th Century, we developed a powerful scientific, agricultural, and technologically advanced industry. We became the world leader in the progress of our living standards and in our mastery of technology.

How did we do that? With a system of protectionism with high tariffs to protect and foster the growth of our new industries.

55 Martin Sieff: Trillion-Dollar Military Budget Dooms the Trump Presidency

Martin Sieff is a senior fellow at the American University in Moscow; former Adjunct Professor of Transnational Threats at Bay Atlantic University; Chief Foreign Correspondent for The Washington Times; Managing Editor, International Affairs, for United Press International, and UPI's chief news analyst for 10 years.

He has written many books, including CYCLES OF CHANGE, a political history of the United States from Thomas Jefferson to Barack Obama. His seminars on American and World History can be found on YouTube, on the channel: Rising Tide Foundation.

Martin has received three Pulitzer Prize nominations for International Reporting. His most recent writings/articles can be found on a site based in Italy called Pluralia.com/en.

We discussed:

Trump’s new trillion-dollar military budget. “It is infantile. It is childish. It is a catastrophe. It dooms the Trump presidency.”

Much of Trump’s chaos is in good causes. The federal government does need to be enormously pruned. But he’s not doing it. Because the biggest budget item is the defense budget. It’s really the Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman budget for weapons system we will not have for another 20 to 30 years, and even then, they will be delayed for another 20 years, and even then, they will cost 100 times the trillion dollars a year that will go into them now, and even then, they will not work. That is the track record of American weapons systems over the last 30 or 40 years.

Trump and Musk swore they would swing the axe. These are lies. Simple lies.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is essential. It has been hideously understaffed for the last 25 years since the ghastly George W. Bush cut it to the bone and castrated it in 2001. And then his repulsive senior officials who destroyed the SEC got even more fat-cat money which none of them deserved by writing articles for Forbes Magazine and The Wall Street Journal, saying that the SEC could not do its job and had to be cut even further, when they had destroyed it and gutted it in the first place.

Now the same thing is happening to the Food and Drug Administration. All the essential agencies, hundreds of thousands of employees, are being gutted. Millions of families are being impoverished, because Elon Musk loves standing in front of an audience of yahoos waving a chainsaw.

Musk is a smart engineer, but he didn’t foresee that Trump’s tariff maneuvers would hurt Tesla’s stock. He has lost $800 billion dollars in the last four months. Not real money. Stock market money.

With Trump declaring that the military budget will be one trillion dollars, Martin foresees total economic collapse, because Trump is ignoring Wall Street, which ties in with how tariffs were brought in.

Martin is generally a tariffs man, making the case for tariffs very strongly over the last 20 years. The best use of them is to protect American industry from unfair competition, which has destroyed American industry for the past 50 years. Our enemies haven’t done this (Russia, China, etc.). It’s our allies who have done this.

We have allowed unlimited imports from Japan, Korea, China, and the West European nations, including Britain. They all have high tariff barriers to protect their manufactured goods from our exports.

54 Alanna Hartzok: Land Value Taxation and the Prosperity It Causes

Alanna Hartzok discusses land value taxation, the prosperity it causes, and Henry George, its great 19th Century American exponent. (See The Henry George School of Social Science, hgsss.org.)

Alanna is the Administrative Director and a United Nations NGO Representative for the International Union for Land Value Taxation (theiu.org), where she helps administer land value tax implementation projects on five continents.

At theiu.org (and YouTube) is her video, CLASS AND RACE VIEWED THROUGH A LAND LENS, “a sweeping overview of centuries of the land problem from England to the United States, its impact on class and race, and how this is relevant to wealth inequality and other social problems today.”

This free course, LAND RIGHTS AND LAND VALUE CAPTURE, is also at theiu.org. (Click Resources, then Course.)

Alanna is the author of THE EARTH BELONGS TO EVERYONE, which received the Radical Middle Book Award.

Alanna initiated tax reform legislation that passed with a nearly unanimous vote, enabling the nearly 1,000 towns of Pennsylvania to shift their tax base off of buildings and onto land value. 

She posts at AlannaHartzok.Substack.com. And she and I participate in TrineDay Publishing’s Valediction Roundtables, which explore JFK’s vision of peace and Henry George’s economics.

Topics discussed:

Land value taxation, which Alanna discovered after being concerned with big questions, such as what’s the cause of poverty? What’s the cause of war, homelessness, and other social problems?

She learned the “original” economics, economic justice, economics made simple, clear, and actionable, at the Henry George School of Social Science, hgsss.org.

Henry George was a 19th Century American who wrote PROGRESS AND POVERTY: An inquiry into the cause of industrial depressions and of increase of want with increase of wealth …the Remedy. He spelled out how wealth inequality grows in societies, like ours, which are based on private profiteering in land.

He went back through centuries. He saw a perennial wisdom teaching that understood that you cannot treat land like a market commodity and have a fair society. He predicted that if we did not address “the land problem,” the United States would become grossly unequal in terms of its wealth and power (our condition today) and democracy would breakdown, because democratic institutions must be founded on the democratic human right to our planet’s land and natural resources as a birthright. (Hence the title of Alanna’s book, THE EARTH BELONGS TO EVERYONE.)

His book, PROGRESS AND POVERTY, sold like wildfire. Only the Bible was sold better. It launched a very important movement quickly. He became famous as a speaker, as well known as Mark Twain, sought not only in the United States but in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland.

53. Guy Crittenden: What We Face and What We Can Do

Guy Crittenden is a Canadian journalist and author who enjoyed a long career as the editor for two business magazines he co-founded. After a life-changing trip to Peru in 2013 he wrote a book called THE YEAR OF DRINKING MAGIC: Twelve Ceremonies with the Vine of Souls. He also wrote the introduction to Bruce’s book, GOD, SCHOOL, 9/11 AND JFK: The Lies That Are Killing Us and The Truth That Sets Us Free.

We discussed:

Problems and solutions, including conscious dances and sound and energy and frequency healing experiences that Guy and his wife provide for their clients.

The equipment Dr. Royal R. Rife used to cure cancer and other ailments. See HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT FOR CANCER AND OTHER VIRUS, BACTERIA AND FUNGI, December 1, 1953 at rife.de/files/history_rife_cancer_treatment.pdf, history_rife_cancer_treatment.pdf.

A spiritual imagination leads people to a deeper understanding of reality. Recommended is Terrence McKenna’s THE ARCHAIC REVIVAL: Speculations on Psychedelic Mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual Reality, UFOs, Evolution, Shamanism, the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History.

The new JFK files are already interesting. The CIA had a five-year file on Oswald, James Jesus Angleton did, head of counterintelligence, by the day Kennedy was shot. Why didn’t they tell the truth about that?

Many deep-state deceptions. The Zapruder film was doctored to support the lone gunman conclusion. Guy: “NASA is a film production company primarily.” Bruce would bet we didn’t go to the moon after watching Bart Sibrel’s A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE MOON, reading his book, MOON MAN: The True Story of a Filmmaker on the CIA Hit List, and interviewing him a number of times.

Guy: “The level of mind control we’re under is just breathtaking.” NASA claims they lost and destroyed the plans and the technology for moon missions. “I’ve drawn the conclusion that every politician you can name, every highly placed person, they are actors. And what we’re watching is a grand production. It’s all a vast mind control and programming operation.”

They want to install a technocracy. A scientific dictatorship. Musk’s companies check every box for the tools of the tyrannical technocracy that many are warning about. See Patrick M. Woods’ books. For instance, TECHNOCRACY RISING: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation.

The psy-op of 2020 (Covid). The injection program. Hundreds of millions are waking up. But the truth and freedom movement has been co-opted to a significant extent. “We’re dealing with a very deep level of deception.” Guy highly recommends THE INVISIBLE RAINBOW: A History of Electricity and Life by Arthur Firstenberg. “Until cities were electrified, there was no such thing as the seasonal flu. … There’s literally a frequency [to treat] every illness or malady that you can think of.”

“We need to create a new society; bring people together and engage in community-building exercises and create massive awareness of these approaches to health and wellbeing, which is where it all has to start.”

Guy is developing a website called wakeupinaday .com. It’s not close to ready. But it’s meant to help people have an awakening, a realization, a liberation. A program to help people create a special day with some readings and videos and meditation so they can understand what “enlightenment” is and what it’s not.

This is a dream that is dreaming itself. A game of pure consciousness. There’s just one eternal love that intentionally forgets itself to be individuals who have the journey of rediscovering itself. “This is a gymnasium for the soul.” Evil people play their part and torment us, forcing us to wake up and love each other and create paradise on earth.

Greg Maybury: Australia, America, and The Globalists’ Agenda

Greg Maybury is a freelance writer and broadcaster based in Perth, Australia. His main areas of interest are history and politics in general. He mainly posts on GregMaybury.Substack.com and X and occasionally on Facebook. For several years he contributed to such diverse news and opinion sites as Consortium News, Dandelion Salad, The Greanville Post, and Off Guardian. He also hosted his own radio show on the former TNT Radio.

Topics discussed:

What Israel is doing to the Palestinians. What happened during the Covid era. What is the “new world order,” the globalists’ design for global dominion.

Since 2020 Greg has focused more on Australian issues and has discovered that those issues are much the same in Canada, Britain, Europe, America, and New Zealand.

Covid inspired many people to question things they had never questioned before. Many in his local community have felt a sense of disempowerment, with the Covid mandates and everything like that, and many are starting to see that what’s taking place in their neighborhoods are manifestations of the globalist agenda.

An overview of that agenda is Greg’s series on Substack, MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR PATHOCRACY. “We need more people to know the truth about the big issues.” Namely, the horrendous, technocratic, digital enslavement infiltrating and surrounding our lives.

“We have a duty to our kids and grandkids, and to the human race, to awaken people to what’s coming.”

Pathocracy is basically rule by insane people. The work of Andrew M. Lobaczewski is discussed. His books include POLITICAL PONEROLOGY: The Science of Evil, Psychopathy, and the Origins of Totalitarianism.

RWB 51. Larry Schnapf
The JFK Files and the Need to Know the Truth about the Assassination

Larry Schnapf, an environmental attorney based in New York City, is a collaborator at JFKFacts.Substack.com and co-host of their podcast. He has been interested in the JFK Assassination since it happened when he was in the 5th grade.

In college he did an independent study project about the assassination. He has written articles on the Warren Commission investigation. He is a long-time member of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, a former board member of Citizens Against Political Assassinations, was chair of the CAPA legal committee, and he has lectured on various legal and evidentiary issues concerning the assassination.

In this episode, Larry walks us through the major investigations and the records that became available, starting with the Warren Commission in 1964, then the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970s, followed by Oliver Stone’s movie JFK, which ignited the public outcry for full disclosure that caused Congress to pass the JFK Records Act of 1992.

The Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) was created to facilitate the release of those records, and millions were made public by 1998 when the ARRB went out of existence.

Larry then recounts how the Trump and Biden administrations blew past deadlines for the release of many remaining documents and how the FBI recently announced the discovery of 2,400 previously unknown JFK records. And he describes own legal efforts to force compliance with the legally mandated disclosure.

We recorded this show on Monday, March 17, 2025. Earlier in the day, President Trump announced that “all” the withheld records, some 80,000, would be released on Tuesday, March 18.

Larry and I agreed that the government must acknowledge the truth about the JFK assassination. I here add that we the people should give the government no peace until it does. A train of horrors, wrapped in stories that have unraveled as lies, has been inflicted on us and the world by the United States government, following the pattern set by the murder of John F. Kennedy. Without “the disinfectant” of sunlight and transparency, evil deeds will continue to be hatched in the dark, where money and power meet.

Douglas Horne: The Smoking Gun JFK Documents

Douglas Horne discusses some of the most important “smoking gun” documents found by the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), the enforcement arm of the 1992 JFK Records Act, which mandated the release of assassination-related material, Congress’s response to public outrage created by Oliver Stone’s 1991 movie, JFK, which depicted FBI, CIA and military involvement in the assassination and said that many files were locked away until the year 2029.

Doug served on the ARRB as Chief Analyst for Military Records. His books are INSIDE THE ASSASSINATION RECORDS REVIEW BOARD: The U.S. Government’s Final Attempt to Reconcile the Conflicting Medical Evidence in the Assassination of JFK, a five-volume work, and JFK’S WAR WITH THE NATIONAL SECURITY ESTABLISHMENT: Why Kennedy was Assassinated. His YouTube channel is Douglas Horne with More on The JFK Assassination.

From the documents:

JFK’s firm intent to withdraw from Vietnam was in the works in May 1963. He would not have created the Vietnam War, which killed millions of Vietnamese and destroyed America psychologically and socially.

The Pentagon proposed, in 1962, Operation Northwoods, whereby the U.S. would stage false-flag attacks, possibly kill or wound innocent people, blame Cuba, invade, overthrow Fidel Castro, and risk nuclear war with the Soviet Union, who might assist or avenge Cuba, its ally. Kennedy rejected the plan and later removed Lyman Lemnitzer as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The Secret Service’s Inspector General in a “SEVEN DAYS IN MAY memo” implied his belief that Kennedy’s assassination was a coup d’etat by elements of the American government.

The 1966 FBI report on their bugs in the KGB’s NYC office shows that the Soviet Union was shocked and displeased by JFK’s assassination; they initially assumed a right-wing plot; they set out to find the truth; and, after an investigation, they concluded that Lyndon Johnson was to blame for the assassination.

The Zapruder film chain of custody investigation indicates a Sunday, November 24, 1963, alteration of the film that removed the limousine stop and modified the wounds to Kennedy’s head, likely to obscure the number and/or direction of the bullets that hit him, to hide the existence of multiple shooters, and to support the official story, the idea that one man, Lee Harvey Oswald, alone killed Kennedy.

Are We All Contaminated? A New Paradigm

This is an important conversation. I encourage everyone to confirm its contents and spread the word. Only we can save ourselves.

David Meiswinkle is a New Jersey criminal defense attorney, Army veteran, retired police officer, and founder and president of the National American Renaissance Movement, a non-profit that works to resist attempts at world control. NationalARM.org provides comprehensive information about the dangers facing us, and tools to help us re-create America. David is also past President and Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry.

Summary and paraphrase:

Scientist Clifford Carnicom and the National American Renaissance Movement have signed an Intellectual Property Agreement “to help preserve, protect and develop the scientific work of scientist Clifford Carnicom for the good of humanity.” nationalarm.org/carnicom-institute-national-arm-intellectual-property-agreement.

From carnicominstitute.org: “The Agreement [involves] the intensive study of an air borne filament which has been corroborated to be the same filament found in strange biosynthetic, plastic/rubbery blood clots attributed to the Covid-19 vaccination found by embalmers.” Clifford's work can be found at carnicominstitute.org and library.carnicominstitute.org.

Horrifying filaments are raining down on us from chemtrails, and they’re in the Covid vaccines and in the blood not only of the vaccinated but also the unvaccinated. They seem to be nanotechnology, cause Morgellons disease, and create the long, white, rubbery “clots” found in the veins of the dead. “Morgellons disease causes black, white, red, or blue fibers to appear under the skin or protrude from it. People may also feel like something is crawling under their skin.” medicalnewstoday.com/articles/morgellons-disease.

Dr. Ana Mihalcea, Board member of NationalARM.org, has done work with Clifford Carnicom (shown in her book, TRANSHUMAN: The Real COVID-19 Agenda, Volume 1: Darkfield Live Blood Microscopy Exposes Self-Assembling Nanotechnology and the Global Technocratic Plan). Dr. Mihalcea has found these filaments in different animals and meat, like deer and squirrels, and in insulin, certain anesthesia, and in other medicines. Dr. Mihalcea can be followed at anamihalceamdphd.substack.com.

David said, “Because of the contents in the platform of these self-assembling hydrogels – they have this high metal content which is like an antenna – they believe that it could be, and hopefully not, a kind of electronic circuitry being built in people, [and could be used as] a kill switch.” When they pass low voltage through vaccinated blood, the filaments go wild. It grotesquely activates the filaments. It makes them more lively and makes them grow quickly.

So, they’re thinking that you could direct voltage to an individual, a city, a country, to the world. We all have cellphones. We all have computers. There are 5G towers all over. Satellites above us. We can be affected healthwise. What about mind control or being wiped out?

Mr. Carnicom has been studying the filaments from chemtrails for 25 years. There are filaments within filaments within filaments. It’s a very sophisticated weapon, not an act of God or an act of nature. Where’s it’s going, we can only imagine.

The October Surprise/Treason of Reagan’s 1980 Campaign

James DiEugenio is the editor and publisher of KennedysandKing.com, where you will incredible history about the assassinations of JFK, Malcom X, Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy, and much that has happened since, up to and including what’s happening today.

Jim has written or co-edited many books on those assassinations, including JFK REVISITED, the companion piece to Oliver Stone’s two recent documentaries, for which Jim wrote the screenplays, JFK REVISITED: Through the Looking Glass and JFK: Destiny Betrayed.

His latest book, with four co-authors, is THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHOKEHOLDS That Inescapably Prove There was a Conspiracy.

His article series, Biden and Trump vs Iran: Den of Spies, which can be found at jamesanthonydieugenio.substack.com, was inspired by the book, DEN OF SPIES: Reagan, Carter, and the Secret History of the Treason That Stole the White House by Craig Unger, and by the dangerous tit-for-tat air battle between Iran and Israel, which has also included Hezbollah and now has culminated with the overthrow of Assad in Syria. The past events of which Jim writes have a strong influence on what’s happening in the region today, Jim believes.

For instance, one reason Iran has a formidable military force is because the Shah of Iran, at the pinnacle of the 1960s and ‘70s, was buying over $9 billion dollars a year of American arms. All those presidents, except Kennedy, had no problem selling them to him. Nixon. Ford. Carter. Those weapons had to be re-stocked. That was the reason for the October Surprise, where Reagan’s campaign team in 1980 made a deal with Iran to delay the release of the American hostages until after the November election, so their release would not help President Carter in the election.

Iran was buying all kinds of jet fighters. Fighter bombers. Missiles. Tanks. William Casey, Reagan’s campaign manager, made a deal with the Iranians in Madrid and Paris to sell them the spare parts that they needed for this weaponry. To understand this and how Iranian-American relations have gotten so bad, you have to go back to Mohammad Mosaddegh, the popular prime minister that the CIA ousted in a coup in 1953.

Jim recounts how Mosaddegh worked for Iran’s interests, and how America overthrew him to join England in controlling and profiting from the sale of Iran’s oil. (The English fleet patrolled the seas and protected the British Empire, which at one time ruled 25% of the globe.)

The CIA paid Iranian students and clerics to protest Mosaddegh in manufactured demonstrations and bribed or killed generals to get the military to go along with regime change. CIA director Allen Dulles told everyone in Washington that Mosaddegh was in league with the communists and was going to side with the Soviet Union in the Cold War.

Jim believes that the overthrow of Mosaddegh and the return of the Shah was a mistake by the British, the U.S., the CIA, Allen Dulles, and Richard Nixon (vice president at the time) that cannot be overestimated. Dulles knew that the only way the Shah could stay in power was through an incredible amount of terror and suppression.

The CIA deployed a tremendous bribery budget and supervised the police force. They supervised the military. They created and supervised a secret organization called SAVAK, an intelligence agency like the CIA. The mullah class in Iran was also bribed, because the CIA knew that the clerics did not want the Shah.

All dissident press, all dissident speakers, were tracked down by SAVAK, not just in Iran but also abroad. They detained and imprisoned everybody opposed to the Shah being returned to Iran. A lot of them were tortured. Some of them were killed.
