IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A GIANT PSYOP

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. I will be talking about recent events in the history of America from assassinations to simple murders and how we never seem to get the complete and truthful picture of what happened.

If we go back in history only so far as World War ll we find that psychological warfare was an important weapon for all combatants. It was important but also primitive compared to the worldwide grip it holds on us today. Sometimes it was millions of leaflets dropped from airplanes across Europe and sometimes it was Tokyo Rose broadcasting from Japan to American sailors opposing the Japanese navy. There were no video cameras, no satellites, no social media, and no internet whereby everyone was monitored and ordinary people could become celebrities overnight.

Sinister forces became the status quo and opposing the status quo became very dangerous. President Eisenhower saw these forces coming to power in the world and he warned President Kennedy about them. President Kennedy, a genuine war hero, and a man of courage and determination took those warnings to heart and tried to oppose the forces that were fast becoming the status quo. He died for his efforts and even though it’s been 62 years future leaders have all understood that you oppose the status quo at your own risk.

JFK’s brother Robert, who was most likely our next president, opposed those same forces and was determined to punish those who murdered his brother. The same year gave us Martin Luther King who also opposed the status quo and a man who argued for peace abroad and racial reckoning at home. Those three men met the same fate at the hands of a lone nut or so we are told. Hardly anyone today believes the demonstrably stupid explanations of their murders but at the time we still had some tiny amount of faith that our leaders might tell the truth occasionally but today, of course, we know better.

Recently, in one of his Liberty Reports, Ron Paul, age 90 gave a pretty good explanation as he addressed the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

“The turbulent 1960’s saw several killings of major US figures, including JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King, who were challenging the status quo and pushing for a shift away from the Cold War confrontationist mentality. The real assassins of these peace leaders from last century were Nihilists who did not believe in truth. They only believed in power—the power that comes from the barrel of a gun. Rather than compete in the marketplace of ideas they preferred to snuff out any challenges and therefore decapitate any possibility that our country could take a different course.”

There were many other assassinations, of course, during that same time period. Those of us who lived through it wondered what had become of us but then as usual it got worse. A couple of others worth mentioning were John Lennon, influential man obviously who talked often about peace and voiced opposition to America’s wars. He was killed outside his Manhattan apartment by Mark David Chapman. John Hinckley, connected distantly to the Bush family, tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan who was in the process of peace with our worst enemy, the Soviet Union. I forgot to mention Richard Nixon who was ending the Vietnam War and who opened trade with China. The nation had just experienced several high-profile political murders so killing him might have aroused even the insouciant Americans’ ire. Nixon didn’t have to be assassinated because we had people who could false flag him and politically assassinate him.

I mention all this history of death and destruction to present recent history as a massive psychological warfare experiment on the American people. I didn’t even mention 9/11 and the J-6 scandal but they are part of the same experiment. We are always given completely ridiculous explanations that make no sense at all and the people who voice skepticism are lumped into a CIA invented phrase called conspiracy theorists. Yes, the CIA invented that word to cover people who questioned the status quo that they were imposing on us to explain JFK’s murder. Since then, the truth or at least the pursuit of it is referred to very negatively by those who conspire.

There are interesting things about most of the high-profile murders and things the lone nuts seem to have in common. I have always suspected that they might all share the same MK Ultra history but I don’t know that and anyone who might knows to keep his mouth shut. Many of the assassins seem to have been reading or have in their close possession the same books. The most famous of these was J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in The Rye.” I read that book in school as many did and I always scratched my head and wondered what message he was trying to convey.

Mark David Chapman reportedly opened the book and read it after he shot John Lennon. John Hinckley had the book with him when he shot Ronald Reagan and supposedly even Lee Harvey Oswold had the book in his apartment. I don’t know about the old hillbilly James Earl Ray but I suspect he didn’t read much. I do wonder though if Tyler Robinson was reading that book but I suppose we will never know. We will never know the truth about anything the government does because it has been and still is conducting a psyop on behalf of others. Who or what are the others, well, if we knew that it might be possible to change course but somehow anyone who tries to find out has a way of ending up dead.

What does Charlie Kirk have to do with any of this or where does he fit in this picture. Charlie was apparently evolving toward the same break with the status quo as those who learned the hard way that it would not just be accepted by the status quo. He is dead now and can’t speak for himself but we have testimony from some of his close friends including Tucker Carlson who appeared as a speaker at one of Charlie’s conventions. Tucker, as you probably know, is very skeptical about the relationship between the US and Israel.

He said in a video speech after Charlie’s death that he considered it humiliating that the US has become so ensnared by this ally that it is nothing more than the military arm of its foreign policy. How did that happen and can we ever escape he wonders and he said that Charlie expressed the same doubt to him. Charlie was apparently changing away from simply signing off on whatever President Trump wanted for US foreign policy. Supposedly he personally went to the White House to urge Trump to resist the pressure to attack Iran but he was rebuffed.

The apparent assassin, Tyler Robinson, said in many texts to his trans lover, and to others that Charlie was full of hate. I wonder if he ever stopped to ponder the irony of hating someone because of his supposed hate. In any event Charlie was apparently evolving toward changing his views about foreign policy as well as other ways and that simply can’t be allowed if you have influence and a national audience. Charlie was, arguably, the most influential voice among college and high school students in the nation so his words were a matter of grave concern to the status quo. He was starting to speak nationally about the troubles of the generation he represented.

He addressed income disparity, but more importantly the reality that these young people face. They are massively in debt not just for student loans though they have those too but just in credit card debt which everyone needs now in order to live. Hardly anyone can live without relying on credit for essentials. Essentials such as gas, food, etc. have to be charged so that fixed costs such as rent and utilities can be funded by one’s job. The result of all this is that many if not most of that generation will not be able to afford a simple little house to raise their family in. They probably don’t even have families though because who can afford to get married and have children.

Many prominent people who were close friends of Charlie reported that he was changing. Ron Paul can testify that the youth of this country are inspired by the ideas of liberty, peace, and prosperity. We went through about 20 years when Dr. Paul was out there expressing those ideas in his pursuit of the presidency. He didn’t win though and so he is still alive. Tucker told of Charlie’s visit to the White House and his expression of doubt about Israel’s war in Gaza and what it is doing to so many. Charlie was under intense pressure to cancel Tucker from speaking at his programs and Tucker offered to decline but Charlie said no because the issue was too important.

The friends of Israel were the ones pressuring Charlie and he lost a great deal of the funding of his non-profit because of his inviting Tucker to speak. Well known conservative podcaster, Candace Owens, a close friend of Charlie’s, stated on one of her programs that Charlie was undergoing a spiritual crises and was turning away from his past embrace of militarism and in favor of America-first non-interventionism, particular regarding current problems in the Middle East.

In conclusion folks, was Charlie murdered directly through a lone nut or indirectly through clever use of the lone nut by powerful forces who could not tolerate such a shift in the views of such an influential leader. We don’t know and we will probably never know because the forces of darkness are allied against our knowing.

 The explanation for the murders of JFK, RFK, and MLK makes no sense and in fact it’s impossible for them to have happened as we have been told. The explanation for 9/11 is even more impossible but we are supposed and expected to believe them. We are considered to be very strange and weird if we don’t believe them....

LIFE AND DEATH IN CHARLOTTE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 12th day of September in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the brutal and horrifying video taped murder of a young woman named Iryna Zarutska who escaped from the national graveyard that is Ukraine only to be murdered in the urban graveyard that is today’s American cities. We have no shortage of murder to talk about today but Charlie Kirk’s assassination happened too late for this Report and anyway everything has been said but in light of the subject of today the milk of human kindness is running a little low right now.

Yes, Iryna finished her shift at the pizzeria in Charlotte where she worked. Still in her work uniform with her hair up under the company’s ball cap she boarded the light rail train for the ride home and immediately started concentrating on her phone just like every other person her age would do.

She was just doing what any person navigating America’s inner-city jungle would do and that is just sit down, mind your own business, don’t talk to anyone and don’t look anyone in the eye. You have to be very careful in today’s cities because the person nearest you could be a psychotic murderer. There was such a man in the seat behind Iryna that day. The man had 14 prior arrests and charges pending including assault, robbery, and other violent felonies and yet as is the custom of our George Soros funded District Attorneys the man roamed Charlotte freely.

The interesting thing about Iryna’s horrible murder is that it is not unusual. According to the Charlotte and Mecklenburg County Police Union her murder was just another day at the office in Charlotte. So, she escaped from war-torn Ukraine but not from the urban war against humanity that is being waged in our cities each day. The man lounged across two seats behind her as can be clearly seen on the video.

 His attack on this tiny woman was so savage as to make description difficult. I will just say that he leaned over her and stabbed her three times in her neck which produced a look of horror on her face that is hard to forget. Blood gushed from her neck and covered her seat and the floor. DeCarlos Brown jr., career criminal, said I got that white girl as he walked away with blood dripping from his knife.

Perhaps the most horrifying part of the video murder was the utter apathy and lack of empathy of the other passengers to what amounts to a public execution. One man at least tried to help her but all the others were completely unmoved by the scene. All faith in humanity, if there was any left, is now gone but worse all faith in this country’s ability to survive what has happened to it in the last 12 years or so is gone.

This is unfortunately not new. When I was in college more than 50 years ago we studied what was then called the bystander effect. Onlookers fail to intervene or even assist a young woman as she is dying on the floor of a Charlotte light rail train car. Undeterred by the horror all around them, prosecutors, funded by the George Soros Open Society Foundation, choose the righteous political narrative of their own beliefs rather than the rule of law or even the relief of human suffering.

In Charlotte, the mayor is Vi Lyles who has been in office since 2017 so she has been repeatedly reelected which should cause the voters of that city to live in shame. Thia attack, not a one off, nor an isolated incident but just life in Charlotte as it is thanks to mayor Lyles and the Charlotte City Council. This is an elected public official who has referred to the police as terrorists and has spent her time in office making life for the city’s residents unsafe and a daily struggle for survival.

The mayor is apparently so intent on being a political idealogue in the mold of the LA and Chicago murder capitals that she could not even bring herself to say Iryna’s name. Her insensitivity to this horrible murder was almost as horrifying as the indifference of those present at the scene. She was quick to urge compassion for Decarlos Brown a man who jammed a knife into the neck of an innocent woman three times and then said I got that white girl as he walked away. Well, mayor it seems that all my compassion has been expended for Iryna and I don’t have much left for Decarlos.

The mayor made no public announcement of the changes she would be making to the Charlotte transit system with additional security measures because there aren’t any. She just encouraged others not to demonize the homeless. Cases like Iryna’s are difficult for Democrat mayors because despite all efforts by them and national media to not report the story the story does get out and it reveals to the whole world what they are doing.

For example, we didn’t learn of the murder for several days after the attack because apparently the mayor worked very hard to prevent release of the tape out of “sensitivity for the victim’s family.” I suggest the real motive for secrecy was out of sensitivity for the mayor’s reelection campaign. The mayor’s primary was last Tuesday the 9th and the mayor came through in fine fashion. She prevailed easily over four other Democrat opponents and will vanquish some hapless Republican in the general election.

With all precincts reporting their results showed the mayor with 70.8% of the vote. If she prevails in the general election, normally just a formality, she would be the city’s second longest serving mayor. So, she gave a quote to the Charlotte Observer.

“I’m very, very humbled by the idea that we can continue to work together for this community and this city to be a place that people choose to live and have the opportunity to thrive.”

So, the murders will continue in Charlotte just as they do in Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Memphis, and many other Democrat run cities. The people who sit on the city councils and who occupy the mayor’s offices in these cities don’t seem to mind the carnage very much as long as it is just their black constituents killing each other. Nobody notices the hundreds of murders every year in these cities because it is the children of their voters killing each other. When some politician comes along and suggests that perhaps things could be better he is immediately called a racist. Why the people who routinely allow the release of criminals to rob, rape, and kill again and again, aren’t called racist is a mystery to me.

Sometimes district attorneys will run for office on a pledge to not prosecute criminals. I have actually seen such a campaign and I have seen it become successful. When you see one you don’t have to look very far for George Soros money because it is there. Elon Musk was right about that man because he is an enemy of humanity. The Democrat candidate tells potential voters who are almost exclusively black, that if elected he will stop prosecuting black criminals.

 The people become convinced that it will correct some of the racism they perceive to be the cause of their suffering. Once the new district attorney is elected and the old policy of putting criminals in jail so they can’t prey on innocent people has ended the people quickly learn that they are the victims of this new savior. The city is quickly overrun with criminals because of the DA’s catch and release policy. The police catch them and bring them in and the system releases them to continue criminality.

When this system happens as it has been happening in cities across the country things start to deteriorate in the city.  There is an element of fear about the city and people start to view it as dangerous. Sporting events like professional football and basketball along with college sports start to suffer in attendance. People conclude that it might be better to watch the game on TV rather than risk murder on public transportation.

There is a ripple effect outward from the city center as the criminals venture out where people live, work, and eat at restaurants. Shopping malls deteriorate and close and any new shopping has to be built far out of the city. Once there is an example of public crime in a shopping area whether street robberies or mob violence, that mall is doomed. The result of all this is public perception, whether admitted by the local newspapers or not, that the city is crime-ridden and dangerous and so as soon as anyone is able they leave and only come back to the city reluctantly for work.

In the case of Charlotte and the murder of Iryna there is a new cause for panic among Charlotte’s public officials. The murder caused some federal oversite because of the very national, very horrifying nature of it and the indifference of Charlotte’s mayor. Perhaps the case will have implications beyond Charlotte since FBI Director Kash Patel and the Secretary of Transportation are looking into it.

Secretary Duffy said, “If mayors can’t keep their trains and buses safe, they don’t deserve the taxpayers ‘money.” He went on to say that federal funding of transportation is at risk for cities that don’t work hard to curb violence on public transport.

The DOJ charged DeCarlos Brown with a federal indictment that could make him eligible for the death penalty. Pam Bondi said, “We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable act of violence—he will never again see the light of day as a free man.” Well Pam, that’s fine and I guess it’s all you can do but Iryna is still just as dead.

Perhaps Mayor Lyles, the district attorney, the city council and the judges who signed off on all 14 releases should have to respond in damages to Iryna’s family. Maybe they could leave war torn Ukraine and come to safe America.

FREE SPEECH OR INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 5th day of September in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the deterioration of freedom and the imposition of top-down control of speech and thought in the mother country that once believed in the concept of freedom.

From at least the year 1215 when the Great Charter the Magna Charta was imposed on King John by the British nobles English people have had the proud belief that they were free. King John did not resist but accepted the concept in writing that the law applies equally to all Englishmen, King and commoner alike. When the American colonies rebelled it was at least in part because they wanted the rights of ordinary Englishmen which they believed they were.

In a system that is euphemistically referred to as democracy, people are supposed to choose their own leaders so the government is the people. That is the belief that we accept as true even when we know it no longer is true if it ever was. I am talking about Great Britain right now rather than the United States because things are happening in Britain that would not be tolerated here or at least I hope it would not be.

By way of disclaimer, I haven’t been to England in many years to see firsthand for myself what is happening, but I read and follow the stories continually reported by others. Great Britain seems to be in the middle of a crises involving immigration and the rights of immigrants versus the rights of Englishmen. The English government and recently the courts have clearly taken the position that immigrant rights are preeminent and that has led to a crises that many believe is the precursor to civil war. Why would a government of the people choose to prosecute its own people for just talking about immigrants in a negative way. Unbelievable, yet we accept it as true because it is happening right now in Great Britain.

For example, consider the case of British comedian Graham Linehan. I admit that I was completely unfamiliar with the man until I, like the rest of the world, read his words and followed his story. His story is all the more disturbing because it is not at all unusual in England today. Mr. Linehan was in America doing some type of project in Arizona. When he attempted to board his flight to London he was singled out and subjected to extra screening, etc. He chalked it up to the joys of air travel today but when he arrived in London he found it was a lot more than just inconvenience.

“The moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting. Not one, not two—five. They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets. In a country where pedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet (and no, I promise you, I am not making this up).” OK, here is the tweet, or printed statement, or expressed thought, however you want to say it that got him arrested. “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.”

There were three tweets in total as the officers told him but I won’t quote the others because there is profanity in them. This case is significant and we hear of it because the victim is a prominent man who apparently has a popular presence on British television. They confiscated his belt, carry- on bag, and electronic devices and put him in a holding cell. This case is common and is happening all the time but we know of this one for the reason I stated.

Why do so many Middle Eastern and African migrants make their way, illegally to England. There is freedom in England to a far greater extent than in the places they escape from. Freedom to speak and behave as they please for them but not for Englishmen. No, if an Englishman said online what the migrants are free to say he would be thrown in prison. There seems to be a two-tiered system of freedom in Great Britain right now. One tier for migrants and one for Englishmen. The one for Englishmen requires them to be very careful what they say or put online. If they insult migrants or trans people they could be hauled into court and dealt with very harshly by an unsympathetic judge.

I’ve been receiving emails from contacts in Great Britain giving their opinion of what is happening because they know of my interest. I’m told that if I were in England the Castle Report from last week and this one would get me arrested. When speech that used to be free is unapproved or unliked by the state it could be termed as an incitement to violence. The emails that I mentioned invited me to attend a rally in London on Saturday the 13th which I believe is a week from tomorrow. The rally is being organized by concerned people both male and female and they hope to have a million participants from around the world in attendance. If I were 20 years younger I like to think I would be there but that is easy to say now since I am safe here in America.

Free speech is very important because without it people are not really free but it is not the most important thing at risk in this struggle. The real issue and one that simply cannot be lost if freedom is to continue is who is in charge of Great Britain. Is it the people through self-governance, or a group of George Soros-funded elitists who have gained power and will not surrender without a fight. More than 10,000 arrests happen every year in Great Britain for online comments, more than Russia and many other countries we usually think of as not free.

There are many in Great Britain who are starting to say that if free speech is incitement to violence according to the state then so be it and let it come. I’ve been surprised by all of this madness so far and the numb, uncaring attitude of people sometimes amazes me, but I will be beyond shocked if the British people totally surrender their freedom without a fight. That belief leads me to conclude that the British government is flirting with civil war. There might still be a little fight left in the English despite decades of education and decades of poison poured into their bodies.

I’m not the only one to see danger in the way the British government is behaving. Piers Morgan responded to the arrest of Mr. Linehan with this statement posted on X; “What’s happened today is absolutely ridiculous. Five armed cops arresting him at Heathrow for tweets mocking the scandal of biological men invading women’s spaces? When it comes to free speech, Britain’s turning into North Korea.”

The Prime Minister of Great Britain, Keir Starmer, seems to sense the danger as well and is trying to occupy both sides of the argument at the same time. He issued an order back in July that the U.K. Home Office was to assemble an “elite team of police officers” to monitor social media for “anti-migrant sentiment” in a new investigations unit to “flag early signs of potential civil unrest.” Starmer has made several statements since then apparently trying to appease those who would prefer to see England remain English.

 Statements such as if you want to live in the UK you should speak English. “I want to see every asylum hotel closed.”  He does have precedent for telling the big lie because I think it was the propaganda minister of the nation Britain defeated in a big war that was the master teacher of the big lie. I suppose the idea is that if you can convince enough people to believe you they will just chill out and accept tyranny and bondage where they once had freedom.

Mr. Starmer also criticized the police for the Linehan arrest, not because it was terribly wrong and an unlawful arrest but because it detracted the police from more important duties. What he didn’t criticize was the 10,000 times each year it happens to ordinary Englishmen who don’t happen to be famous or prominent. Mr. Linehan was released from custody on condition that he stay off X. Ok Mr. Linehan you can have the illusion of freedom as long as you stay off X. See Mr. Linehan what you did by speaking your mind publicly is now a crime in the UK, but you are prominent so if you just shut up and leave the tyranny to us we will allow you that illusion.

The police were nice to him, Mr. Linehan said and seemed to be “just doing their jobs.” Yes they were just going about the duty they were assigned and doing their jobs. I don’t know who sworn officers in the UK swear to but I doubt if their oath requires them to enforce tyranny. That’s the issue though isn’t it and always has been. Who is the police force and more importantly the military loyal to. Here is America they take an oath to the Constitution rather than to a specific person, ala Nazi Germany, or to the government. In the UK right now, I don’t know who they agree to support. British police and British military have a history of support for tyranny which to some extent provoked the American Revolution. The British navy needed sailors and their press gangs would roam the countryside kidnapping men from their homes and pressing them into service. They would stop American merchant ships on the high seas and kidnap merchant sailors.

The Americans didn’t like that and they organized resistance which resulted in 250 years of freedom and independence. We argue and test in our courts the issue of free speech but it is still pretty important here in America. I hope we never see the day when people are grabbed off the street and imprisoned for something they said. It’s hard to imagine,...

Darrell Castle talks about the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two. How have the allied leaders handled the inheritance of the victory they were given by the blood of their ancestors? Are they behaving like victors?

EIGHTY YEARS AFTER WORLD WAR TWO

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 29th day of August in the year of our Lord 2025. This is Labor Day weekend and a 3-day vacation for most of us but the day after Labor Day is an anniversary to remember. It is the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two. Where do we stand today with the inheritance that all those men gave us so many years ago. How have the allied leaders handled the victory they were given by the blood of their ancestors. I will look at some of the things that are happening in our world today to see if the allies have truly behaved like victors.

Next Tuesday, the 2nd of September is the 80th anniversary of the signing of the Japanese surrender documents ending World War ll. The surrender was signed on the deck of the battleship USS Missouri while it was sitting at anchor in Tokyo Bay. The Americans had the people you would expect in attendance such as Chester Nimitz, the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and General Douglas MacArthur Commander of the Southern Pacific Region, who accepted the surrender on behalf of the victorious allied nations.

General MacArthur was appointed Proconsul of Japan which made him the virtual ruler of that nation on behalf of the occupying American forces. General MacArthur ruled with a compassionate, but firm hand and in a few short years the nation of Japan once a radioactive, burned our wasteland was a G-20 economy. The Japanese were resistant at first but with the encouragement of their emperor they started to buy into MacArthur’s program and they rebuilt their country as a model of American capitalism.

There were many other people on board the Missouri that day including people honored because they were seriously wounded in the Pacific War but also ex-prisoners of the Japanese who survived years of harsh treatment. When I was a child one of our neighbors was boy scour leader for my scout group. He had served on the Missouri and was pretty good at crafts so he built a scale model of the ship about 3 feet long and kept it in a separate room of his house. He had tremendous pride in his service and in being present for history.

There are very few of the veterans of that war still living and soon there will be none so every chance we get to honor them should be taken. August 14th the last fighter ace of the war died at the age of 103. His name was Thomas McPherson and he was the pilot of an F6F Hellcat fighter flying off the carrier USS Essex. In case you don’t know a fighter ace is someone who shoots down five enemy planes in aerial combat. When the war was over Tom went back home to Nebraska and became a mail carrier where he spent his working life. He was a boy scout leader and worked in his church just living a quiet and peaceful life of service. Many gallant aces, many empty places as the pilots would say at dinner. There were many aces, but none still alive from WWll. We still have aces from Korea and Vietnam of course although they are going quickly as well.

So, how the world has changed in 80 years. The U.S. dropped two atomic bombs thus ending the war but today 9 nations are believed to have nuclear weapons with about 12000 warheads in existence. Sometimes when I look at it all and I see where we are today I have to wonder who won the war. There are so many places today where the world seems to have turned upside down. Old friends are now bitter enemies and vice versa. China and Russia, our friends during the war but now enemies.

Dr. Ron Paul, who just celebrated his 90th birthday a few days ago talked about America first in one of his Liberty Reports. He pointed out that the President promised us that he would put America first at home and abroad. He said he would start no new wars and he would get us out of the existing ones. That promise still has a ways to go before it can be fulfilled. The President apparently has been unable to resist the temptation to get involved in what he called Joe Biden’s war while he was campaigning.

He faced a dilemma with trusted people offering him conflicting advice. The people who need Russia to continue as our worst enemy told him we must continue to supply every weapon and every dollar requested by Ukraine to fight the Russians. The military, intelligence, security powers, that many believe make the foreign policy decisions for the U.S., wanted that view to prevail of course. The other side said you were right Mr. President, this war is easy to end or at least for us to get out of, just stop and come home.

The President’s new policy, just announced, is a compromise. The U.S. will continue to manufacture new weapons and will send $100 billion worth of them to Europe who will then pay the American defense contractors and send the Weapons on to Ukraine. Through the “compromise” the defense people are happy because they reap the profits, but the U.S. can say we are stepping out of it so this is a European war. Like the mafia used to say, it’s a good deal because everybody wins and nobody loses.

In Israel and Gaza America first seems to have faltered as well. The U.S. is committed to billions more without addressing the issue of the slaughter and starvation. The President has admitted publicly that he believes the starvation is real and is happening but no recognition through policy changes. In the meantime, Israel continues to launch airstrikes across many countries daily. Iran is bombed almost continuously as is Yemen including the presidential palace. Syria, Iraq, and of course Gaza are all under Israeli air assaults.

If I take the position that these strikes are defensive in nature and are therefore necessary, I still must ask how Israel is paying for it. Most of the countries that make up Israel’s enemies list have to make choices as Iran is painfully aware. Do you build water infrastructure or do you support proxy terrorist groups and pursue nuclear enrichment. Those are questions and decisions that must be answered and made by most but not by Israel. Why, because you and I, the American taxpayers have their back. We back stop their military which leaves their own revenue available for other things. How is any of this America first. Well, as the President said, since he invented the term he gets to decide what it means. Trump is concerned about all this because he reportedly remarked to a big donor recently that the starvation is costing him his base. Dr. Paul’s advice is still the best, “just come home.”

Alarmingly the U.S. is starting to get militarily involved in Latin and South America and has sent 4000 U.S. Marines to waters off the coast of Venezuela. In response that country is mobilizing and seeking volunteers to fight the invading Yankees. I hope the war hawks and neocons in his group of influential advisors don’t convince him that America first means a stupid, costly war in this hemisphere.

Across the Atlantic things are not going well for what used to be called Western Civilization. In Great Britain only about 39% of Londoners are British and the country seems to have surrendered to the invaders. Where is Winston Churchill when you really need him. What Nazi Germany was unable to accomplish in five years of total war, the North African and Middle Eastern invading rape gangs have accomplished while being welcomed and celebrated by the British Government. In fact, Europe is currently in crisis perhaps one of the worst and maybe the worst since the war.

Apparently powered by some type of self-loathing and fear of being called Islamophobic, Europe has opened its doors to people who apparently come to seek European welfare and European children. Here in America if literally thousands of young girls were being raped by gangs of Islamic invaders I like to think we would resist, but not in England. No, folks the mother country has surrendered and turned its children, but apparently only the working-class girls over to the rape gangs. People are literally up in arms and in the streets over this. I am appalled that it has taken so long and I ask what happened to all those men whose fathers climbed in their Spitfires and Hurricanes and went into the sky to face the invading Nazis.

I have been waiting for people to rise up and resist and maybe that has started, but resistance has a long way to go. Great Britain seems to be the worst in all of Europe to appease the invaders while punishing their own people for their resistance. For example, just a couple of days ago in Scotland, a couple of Scottish girls aged 12 and 14 decided they would not submit to rape as they were expected to. In Dundee, Scotland, the two girls were pursued by a gang of invading child rapists and it is of course all captured on video since surveillance cameras are everywhere.

When the rape gang cornered the girls, the 14-year-old drew her knife and a hatchet in an act of resistance and she drove them off. The Scottish police, of course, quickly arrested the girl and imprisoned her for resistance. The 14-year-old had a knife and a hatchet she used to defend her 12-year-old sister. She could be heard screaming don’t touch her she’s only 12.

So, in the old country whose ancestors fought Vikings, Romans, Nepoleon and finally Nazi Germany the current government of cowards and traitors has surrendered its working-class girls to the invaders. The non-working-class of course drive their little girls in armored limousines and live behind gates and guards. The police said the 14-year-old was reported with a bladed weapon so they arrested her. She will be charged accordingly.

On July 14, 1789, the French people decided not to submit anymore so they stormed the Basti

Darrell Castle talks about Israel, Bibi Netanyahu and his project for Greater Israel. What is the concept of Greater Israel and how does it relate to the Israeli destruction of Gaza? Is this retaliation, self defense or is there more to it than that?

GREATER ISRAEL AND THE PROSPECTS FOR PEACE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 22nd day of August in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about Israel, about Bibi Netanyahu and his project for a Greater Israel. Is he really working to expand Israel’s borders across the Middle East or is it simply self-defense. Is the Israeli destruction of Gaza retaliation and protection from terrorists or is there more to it than that.

There are many things I could be talking about right now such as the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska followed by Trump’s “summoning” Zelensky to Washington, followed by Giorgia Meloni’s recognition of Europe being left out of the deal. She quickly called Europe’s leaders and suggested they accompany Zelensky to Washington to plead their case before the real leader of the world. Ms. Meloni appears to be the upcoming star in Europe but instead of those subjects I turn my attention back to the Middle East, which is the center of much of the world’s trouble right now.

I will confess that I never believed the rumors of the Project for Greater Israel and thought it was just that, rumors, until now. What changed my mind well, it was just paying attention and following the actions and words of the leader of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu who has now confirmed for us and the whole of the Middle East that he is, in fact, on course for a Greater Israel.

He did an interview with an Israeli television channel about a week ago and in that interview he stated unequivocally that he was committed to the concept of a Greater Israel and that he believes that his expansionist policies and dreams are a biblical project. In other words, to paraphrase Ghostbusters, he is on a mission from God. I must say that in response to his words and actions that he views the nature of God differently from my view. He said that the project is a generational thing passed on from leader to leader but in the past leaders have missed opportunities and made mistakes which he is endeavoring to correct.

He did not state specifically what countries or territories would be included in Greater Israel, but it is clear that it goes way beyond historical Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. He has already destroyed many of the surrounding countries to the point that they hardly have governments anymore. Think of Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, and also Yemen which has a government apparently run by terrorists.

Which country is left and which country is often referred to as the head of the snake. I guess that means that from Iran spews all the venom that is financing supplying and encouraging terrorism across the region. The snake’s head must be severed from its body and he has an ongoing project to do just that. Let me get into a little of what seems to be going on in Iran right now. This week Israel continued its war against Iran by conducting airstrikes across the country. Fires burned across Tehran and around the country including a gigantic explosion and fire at an oil storage depot.

Israel then, has reduced and is in the process of destroying not just Iran’s capacity to make war, but its capacity to live and feed its people. The conditions inside Iran right now appear to be terrible and not just from Israeli attacks but because Iran is suffering from an extreme drought and water crises. There has been a decline in rainfall, granted, but also decades of mismanagement of water resources and crumbling infrastructure from war and neglect. Sometimes the priorities of our leaders are not the same as ours and the priority for the last 46 years in Iran has been the development of nuclear weapons, and the funding of terrorist proxies across the region.

If you can’t make money out of thin air as we can in America, then it is difficult to pay for everything and choices have to be made. The decision to neglect water resources is bordering on catastrophic for the Iranians. Rationing power is one thing but for a nation of 90 million with a very large capital city it really would be catastrophic to ration water. Right now, about 2000 villages receive water only by tanker and the President, not the Ayatollah but the President, is warning of an “unimaginable situation.”

The crisis is apparently at a very critical level with millions at risk. Rainfall has declined about 46% this year but you may notice that I attribute most of the empty reservoirs and crumbling water infrastructure to war and most of all neglect and mismanagement while most reports attribute it to climate change. To me that makes no sense at all because it’s as if climate change only affects one country in the region while sparing the others. No, it’s the Ayatollah, nuclear ambitions, along with Israel that is keeping the Iranians thirsty.

Mr. Netanyahu is not without sympathy for the Iranians, however because immediately after the recent attacks he went on video and sent them a message. The Israeli attacks came right after the Iranian President, a mister Masoud Pezeshkian, made his unimaginable situation statement to the nation. I will paraphrase Mr. Netanyahu’s statement as best I can because although I watched the video I do not have a transcript.

He told them that this war isn’t necessary and more importantly their water crisis isn’t necessary and could be resolved very quickly. Israel would help them and could resolve the problem as soon as the “tyrants” are out of power. So, I suppose, that means changing your government to one favorable to Israel and we will help you. So, what kind of help could Israel provide to the head of the snake if the head were severed. He told them and the whole world during his speech.

“The thirst for water in Iran is only matched by the thirst for freedom.” He compared the Iranian regime’s treatment of its citizens to his struggle against it. “Your dictators impose tyranny and poverty upon you—just as they impose war on us.” He then gave them a clear incentive to change their government by whatever means necessary. “So here is the great news. The moment your country is free, Israel’s top water experts will flood into every Iranian city bringing cutting edge technology and know-how. We will help Iran recycle water; we’ll help Iran desalinate water.” So, a policy for the Iranian people wrapped in a humanitarian package.

Time and space require me to leave Iran for the remainder of this report so I can continue to make my case for Greater Israel. There are many examples other than Israeli experts pouring into every town and village in Iran. Once again, I ask in regard to Gaza is, it self-defense and retaliation or is there more to it and once again the Israeli leadership answers the question for us. A week ago, last Thursday Israeli Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu responding to a question from the press about the destruction of Gaza said.

 “The government is racing ahead for Gaza to be wiped out. Thank God we are wiping out this evil. We are pushing this population that has been educated on “Mein Kampf.” Gaza will be cleared for Jewish settlement and Jewish towns won’t be fenced inside cantons. All Gaza will be Jewish although Arabs loyal to Israel will be tolerated. We aren’t racists. We are fighting those who fight us.” He went on to say there is no hunger in Gaza but we don’t need to worry about hunger in the strip, let the world worry about it.

Many people think that mentioning the things that Israel appears to be doing is hurting Israel and its cause against its hostile enemies but to me it is their behavior that is hurting them in the press. Support for Israel, its standing in the world, and especially for Netanyahu are plummeting across the world as more and more information comes to light. If the Israeli government is committing atrocities on a mass scale in Gaza and you love Israel you should be alarmed and concerned about Israeli policies as I am. I am afraid that if Israel doesn’t reverse course soon the world will see it as a nation of barbarians.

If that were all it would be plenty but folks, as usual it gets worse. Recently one of those famous hot mic incidents occurred or at least the audio from the statement leaked to the press. The statement came from IDF Major General Aharon Haliva, the former head of Israeli military intelligence and a man seen by the press as a centrist and critic of the current Israeli government.

“For everything that happened on October 7, for every one person on October 7, 50 Palestinians must die. It doesn’t matter now if they are children. The fact that there are already 50,000 dead in Gaza is necessary and required for future generations.”

That statement says many things combined in a few brief words. Number one, it’s an admission that there are at least 50’000 dead in Gaza and many of them are children. The death reports are apparently not fake or exaggerated. The IDF is not in Gaza just to go after Hamas and those civilians are more than collateral damage. Netanyahu lies when he denies the death count and furthermore it makes no difference if the dead are children. The man who speaks for the IDF and the Israeli government wants blood and children and women or men are simply irrelevant. The intentional killing of innocents is not a crime or even a tragedy to him it is necessary and it must happen.

If the killing of 1200 civilians was an act of terrorism and it was, then what is the killing of 50,000. One must ask who is the greater terrorist. It might be possible to save Israel’s reputation who knows for sure, but to do so Israel must change course and right away. The United States, it seems to me has a moral obligation in this struggle as well....

THE PEACE PRESIDENT RETURNS—MAYBE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 15th day of August in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the face-to-face meeting being conducted today between President Trump and Russian Premier Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. Which player has the most at risk and the most to lose from this meeting. We don’t know the results of the meeting yet but its promise is something to discuss.

Why have this meeting in Alaska and not in some European Capitol. Who knows for sure but a reasonable guess would be that Putin is under sanctions that make it very difficult for him to travel in Europe and after all, Russia and Alaska go way back. I won’t go back any further than the 1860’s when both nations were involved in very disastrous wars with very different results. The U.S. Civil War resulted in a Union victory but cost many lives and split the country for over 100 years.

Russia was involved in a war in Crimea against England and France which it lost and which also had catastrophic loss of life and completely depleted the Russian treasury. Czar Alexander ll was desperate for cash and in 1867 he negotiated a deal with the U.S. to sell the Americans Alaska for $7.1 million. That seems like a bargain for the U.S. and it was but remember that was about 165 years ago when $7.1 million was real money. This week, in contrast, the U.S. passed $37 trillion in debt and is now dangerously close to $1 trillion per year in interest payments.

What about today, why Alaska. For one thing Anchorage lies 4,350 miles from Moscow and 3,400 miles from Washington so it is a comparable trip for both. It was hastily arranged and we are told that the meeting last week between Mr. Putin and Trump’s negotiator, Steve Witkoff, brought a request from Mr. Putin for a face-to-face with President Trump which was quickly agreed to. Vice President Vance told us that Mr. Zelensky will not be in attendance because his presence would not be productive.

I don’t blame the U.S. side for that and I would not have invited him either. This is a war between the U.S. and Russia and everybody seems to know that except Mr. Zelensky. His country has provided the bodies for the proxy grist mill but it is a U.S. war. My hope and my prayer are that Trump will continue his quest for the Noble Peace Prize but in regard to Mr. Zelensky, after 45 years as a lawyer and after countless mediations I have learned that more is usually accomplished if the two competing sides are kept separate with the impartial mediator going back and forth.

Ukraine and Gaza are two blights on Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize resume at this point but this is a chance to resolve one of them, and it is right in his hands today. The Europeans have basically already rejected the deal even though they don’t know what it is yet. If he makes a deal with Putin and the Europeans reject it if I were him I would just say O.K. since you prefer war to peace you pay for it because there will be no more American weapons and no more American money poured down this rat hole. Polls show that 70% of Ukrainians want to end the war right now. Zelensky may want to fight to the last Ukrainian and last U.S. dollar but his people don’t.

 Let’s take a quick look at Trump’s peace resume thus far. I argue that in many ways he is the most anti-war President in recent history. In his first term he brokered the Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and four Arab nations, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. The agreement ended hostility that had existed since Israel’s founding in 1948. This was the first real peace deal since President Carter’s deal between Egypt and Israel. Full relations with those four countries brought much prosperity with trade deals, embassies, air service, etc.

He met with the Little Rocket Man on his home soil of Korea, Kim-Jong-Un, and thereby lowered tensions on the Korean Peninsula and sent a message that diplomacy was at least possible if people could talk.  Just this week Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a formal peace agreement at the White House ending a bloody war that had cost thousands of lives. Trump brought the two Presidents together and brokered a deal thought to be impossible because the conflict had lasted decades.

A catastrophic war between Pakistan and India was well underway with both sides suffering casualties when Trump intervened with diplomacy. The agreement called for the end of military hostilities, communication channels reopened to coordinate security for both sides. Since both countries are nuclear armed the potential for disaster was obvious. Last month Cambodia and Thailand reached a Trump negotiated ceasefire in their cross-border war that killed many and left hundreds of thousands without shelter.

In June of this year Rwanda, where the genocide that cost perhaps a million lives occurred and the Democratic Republic of the Congo were engaged in a war that had gone hot and warm but never cold for decades. Trump negotiated a deal wherein both sides agreed to respect borders, end aggression against the other and perform joint security coordination. Those things that I have mentioned make up a pretty good resume for peace. Unfortunately, under most presidents, the CIA wants the wars hotter to feed the always hungry appetites of the defense contractors, but apparently not so much now.

Gaza is a problem and that’s for sure, but Israel is the one that has to be dealt with in solving that problem and dealing with Netanyahu is not so simple. Whatever hold he has over American leadership seems rather shameful to me and if I were an American leader and I didn’t carry any dirt I think I would be embarrassed at having to cow tow to our ally in such a fashion, but how can we know for sure. Israel is a problem but not the problem for today. Right now, Russia and Ukraine are before us to be considered. So, Mr. Putin, we are told, requested this face-to-face so he could let Trump know what his concerns are and thereby just maybe those concerns would be addressed.

If we think of this meeting as a poker game with Trump, Putin, and Zelensky as the players which player has the most at risk and which has the most skin in the game. I think Putin has the most at risk and the most to lose because even though Russia seems to be gaining momentum in the war Putin’s goals have not been met. Like the U.S. in Vietnam, even though your army is not defeated on the battlefield, by not winning you lose. Putin’s people are getting restless and wondering if any of the sacrifice is worth it if victory is not possible. In addition, the Russian economy is suffering under U.S. sanctions so a successful meeting is vital to Russia.

Mr. Zelensky also has a lot at risk but not as much as Putin. Ukraine has no pretensions about being a great country and its losses have been horrible. Zelensky may run around Europe begging for money but the truth is his army is almost out of manpower. Old men and boys now man the ranks and his lines are crumbling before the Russian attacks. Zelensky wants a simple ceasefire especially aerial ceasefire to stop the Russian drone attacks. Russia has been attacking Kiev with drones but in response to the Ukrainian attack against the Russian nuclear bomber bases.

Trump has only his own reputation as a peacemaker along with U.S. prestige at risk along with a few hundred billion of debt of course. Therefore, my conclusion is that this meeting is more important to Putin than anyone else. He can keep fighting and maybe eventually prevail but at what cost. Does he want Russia out of the sanctions and into the normal family of nations. Time will tell if Trump has those chips on the table.

Russia has apparently signaled the U.S. that it would like to end the war if it could keep Crimea and the eastern provinces that it currently occupies. Mr. Putin is at least willing and able to talk to President Trump, something he was unable to accomplish with President Biden or Victoria Nuland, Biden’s coup instigator.

The President’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt; “The president is agreeing to this meeting, at the request of President Putin, and the goal of this meeting is to walk away with a better understanding of how we can end this war…sitting face-to-face rather than speaking over the telephone will give this president the best indication of how to end this war and where this is headed.”

Meanwhile, Zelensky has a different view.

“Any decisions made against us; any decisions made without Ukraine—they are simultaneously decisions against peace. These are dead decisions; they will never work. And what we all need is a real, living peace, one that people will respect.”

 To me that would be a very insulting and infuriating statement and as President of the United States I would not put up with it but we will see how Mr. Trump views it. The Europeans seem to have Ukraine’s back on the issue and their statement is that any peace has to include Ukraine. The Europeans, however, are irrelevant and don’t even have a seat at this table.

Well, then what would the best way out of this debacle look like. From my limited perspective Trump would say to them, this is the deal, there is no other deal. If you don’t accept this deal and live with it then you are on your own so goodbye and good luck. 

The deal that I have agreed to with Mr. Putin is that Crimea remains Russian where it has belonged for hundreds of years. Russia keeps the Russian speaking Eastern provinces that it occupies as a buffer against Ukra

Darrell Castle recounts the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, around the 80th anniversary of the events and where it leaves us in the world today.

COLONEL PAUL TIBBETS AND THE ATOMIC AGE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 8th day of August in the year of our Lord 2025. Two days ago, on August 6th we remembered the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. Tomorrow the 9th of August is the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan. I will talk about those events and about where they leave us in the world today.

During World War ll the United States was in a technological race with Germany to develop a war winning atomic weapon. The U.S. had some of the smartest people on earth working on the weapon which came to be called “The Manhattan Project.” Einstein gave his theoretical advice and Oppenheimer ran the effort to build a potentially world destroying weapon. No one knew for sure what this weapon would do when it was unleashed. The only thing certain was that its explosive power would be like nothing seen before on earth.

I am certainly no scientist and I am not scientifically educated but as I understand it the microscopic particle that makes up matter, called the atom contains enormous energy and if it could be split that energy would be unleashed by way of explosive power. Some scientists were afraid that the explosion would not be able to be contained and would continue until it destroyed the entire universe but they went ahead with it despite the unknown.

The allies throughout the war fought a clandestine effort to prevent German scientists from finishing their work first. Many people gave their lives in that effort but eventually German industry was destroyed and only Japan was left. The decision to use the weapon against Japan was President Truman’s alone. I understand from much reading on the subject that he was in Europe to conclude the German surrender when he received word that the weapon known as “Little Boy” was ready. His response was “use it.”

Winston Churchill once famously said, “I think history will be kind to me because I intend to write it.” The point is that history is written by the winners not the losers. I have read many histories of the end of the war and the decision to use the bomb and my conclusion is that the historical perspective depends on your world view today. I read something this week which asserted that Japan was begging to surrender but Truman wanted to use the bomb so he ignored them. The supposed reason was to send a message to the Soviet Union that the same thing could happen to them.

The Soviet angle as a secondary reason makes sense but I see no evidence of Japan begging to surrender. In fact, after the surrender when MacArthur was proconsul in Japan surviving Japanese troops tried to lead a rebellion against the surrender. The real question for debate is, was the dropping of the atomic bomb justified or was it the most heinous crime against humanity in history. Everyone has his opinion, but from the perspective of the Marines and soldiers on the beaches and in the jungles of Asia I doubt that they wanted to invade the Japanese home islands. Perhaps if some of those who condemn the decision had been at Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima, or Okinawa they would see it differently.

In any event on August 6th, 1945, a B-29 Super fortress flown by Colonel Paul W. Tibbets Jr and with a crew of 12 more men lifted off the runway on the island of Tinian and headed for Japan and a mission that would forever alter our world. I saw an interview with Colonel Tibbets just before he died and the interviewer gave him a chance to express his sorrow at what he did but he said no I have no regrets. “I viewed my mission as one to save lives. I didn’t bomb Pearl Harbor. I didn’t start the war. But I was going to finish it.”

Colonel Tibbets continued to maintain the same message discipline until the end. He retired form the U.S. Air Force as a brigadier general in 1966 never once expressing any remorse. He anticipated protests after his death in 2007 so he requested that no headstone be placed over his grave. Instead of a burial with highest honor in Arlington, his ashes were scattered over the English Channel by his French born widow, Andrea.

Most of the crew of the Enola Gay, the B-29 named after colonel Tibbets’ mother kept a low profile for the rest of their lives. The bombardier who released the bomb, Major Thomas Ferebee, who had seen much aerial combat throughout the war said like Colonel Tibbets, that he thought the bombing saved more lives than it took. The Navigator who guided the bomber to its release point, Captain Theodore Van Kirk, in a final interview in 2005 said, “War is war. And in war, you do what you have to do to win. It was a different time and a different place.” Captain Van Kirk died in 2014, the last surviving member of the crew.

One man, co-pilot Captain Robert Lewis, had a different perspective on the event. In his logbook written during the return flight to Tinian he wrote, “My God, what have we done.” Captain Lewis had problems with the event but some of his crew disputed the theories about his logbook and they reported that he expressed no such regrets. He expressed his emotional struggles in much writing throughout his life until he died in 1983. The photographs of the blast which became world-famous were taken by tail gunner Sergeant Bob Caron who was the only crewmember to see the blast. He lived a quiet and peaceful life after the war, and eventually wrote his memoirs called, “Fire of a Thousand Suns.”

I could go on and give you the reactions and personal stories of every man on that crew but time and space restrain me. The men all maintained personal pride and professionalism for their military duty, and they did not glorify the destruction itself. The men, as life went on for them, watched as the world was forever changed by what they did. Their single bombing mission became the centerpiece of global geopolitics and in many ways it still is. I will argue that even when it isn’t the centerpiece today, it should be.

To give credence to the Japan will not surrender theory, the Japanese leadership had been repeatedly warned that a new terrible weapon would be unleashed on them if they did not surrender but they refused. When Hiroshima was gone from the earth requests for surrender were again made and again they refused. August 9th, 1945, brought another B-29 on another mission this time headed for the city of Nagasaki and carrying a bomb known as “Fat Man.” After that attack about a week went by when the Japanese general staff were in constant discussion but on August 15th the emperor announced to his military leaders and to the nation via radio message that he had agreed to the allied terms of surrender.

That message brought much weeping from the Japanese people because surrender was not a concept they understood. The thing that made island combat so difficult against the Japanese was their determination to fight to the last man. Often in an island battle 10’s of thousands would die and only a tiny handful would ultimately surrender. The potential loss of life in an invasion of the home islands was therefore obvious. The surrender papers were finally signed on the deck of the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. The war was over, but I suppose I should reserve that story for another anniversary on another day.

Where does the atomic age find us today 80 years later. If the theory about President Truman using the bomb to send a message to the Soviet Union is true it obviously didn’t work because it took the Soviets only about 3 years to develop their own weapon. So far. Fat Man was the last atomic bomb used in anger against an enemy but the danger, the horrible possibilities are always there. During the Korean War, General MacArthur wanted President Truman to authorize atomic weapons when China entered the war on behalf of Norh Korea but cooler heads prevailed.

In 1962 U.S. intelligence discovered that Russia had placed and was continuing to place offensive nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from U.S. soil. Perhaps you are old enough as I am to have lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, but it was a time of great danger and fear here in America. When I delivered my newspapers each day I could see the blankets hung over windows to prevent injuries from flying glass. People expected a nuclear attack to come at any moment but once again cooler heads prevailed. President Kennedy agreed to remove some missiles from Turkey at least those Khruschev could see from his summer villa on the Black Sea. Premier Khruschev agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba and the world was spared a nuclear holocaust.

Would that happen today or asked differently, do both sides still have cooler heads which hopefully would prevail. I’m not certain of the answer because the rhetoric coming from discussions or non-discussion with Russia are very disturbing. Disarmament treaties have been abandoned and Russia is surrounded by nuclear weapons. My fear is that at some point sooner rather than later, Putin will say no more. In response to a Russian warning Trump publicly ordered two nuclear attack submarines “to the appropriate places.” Something that would never have happened during the dark days of the cold war.

I could go on all day with a discussion about the coming catastrophic war but in the interest of brevity I will say that when events move inevitably forward day by day so that a nuclear armed nation feeling that its back is to the wall, makes a final decision that leads to catastrophe, then it’s too late. Cooler heads must prevail before that happens, but where are they today. President Trump has had some spectacular success with trade negotiations lately,...

Darrell Castle talks about Gaza and what is going on in that narrow strip of land in which so many have died and are dying. Who or what is responsible for all that death and destruction?

CAN STARVATION BE FAKED

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 1st day of August in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about Gaza and what is going on in that narrow strip of land in which so many have died and are dying. Who or what is responsible for all that death and destruction. Is it really happening, is it faked, just propaganda. This Report is the result of my search for evidence that may reveal the truth.

The President of the United States said recently that he did not agree with Bibi Netanyahu who stated that there is no starvation in Gaza. He said that everybody needs to step up including the Israelis to make sure food gets to the area. “We can save a lot of people, I mean some of those kids. That’s real starvation; I see it and you can’t fake that. So, we are going to get even more involved.” What exactly that statement means is unclear but the President seems to be shifting his views or perhaps he is evolving as more comes to light.

The President then, has accepted as fact that children are starving in Gaza so who is responsible and what can be done about it. The Israeli population does not deny it nor do they regard it as a curse according to recent polls. Most Israeli citizens believe that the Israeli actions in Gaza are in response to the attacks of October 7, 2023, in which some 1200 Israeli civilians were killed and some 250 hostages were taken and about 50 of which are still unaccounted for.

A letter recently went out from over 1000 Rabbis in which they abhorred the violence committed by Hamas but they seemed to admit that the Israeli response to paraphrase the letter, is well, overkill. “The killing of huge numbers of Palestinians in Gaza, including those seeking food has been widely reported across respectable media and cannot reasonably be denied. The severe limitation placed on humanitarian relief in Gaza, and the policy of withholding of food, water, and medical supplies from a needy civilian population contradict essential values of Judaism as we understand it.”

I interpret that letter as an admission by the Rabbis that the things mentioned are happening. Not everyone agrees though, and as I said Mr. Netanyahu denies that any starvation is happening. The President has seen the videos of starving children and has undoubtedly been briefed by his various intelligence agencies and has become convinced that it is happening. The picture, now viral or iconic around the world, of the woman holding her baby with a diaper made from a plastic bag she found is the convincing one.

It has not convinced everyone though because that picture has been analyzed by many and found lacking. Some see adults in the background and say they seem healthy and well fed. The Israelis say the baby is not starving but has some sort of genetic disorder so the picture is staged for sympathy. I’ve looked at that picture many times and I don’t know about the genetic disorder, perhaps that is so, but that baby is starving to death. Whatever other conditions he has does not change the fact that the baby is starving.

The Rabbis’ letter seems to admit that these conditions are being intentionally caused by the Israeli government and its supporters. Death and destruction are the inevitable consequences of war as we are well aware, but this seems to have reached an unusual level of inhumanity. Once again, we are told nothing is happening here folks, you are not seeing this. Bombing, strafing and shelling are the definition of war but how about the intentional starvation of mass numbers of people.

 To defeat Hamas is it necessary to destroy an entire people group. To do that people have to come to grips with the word genocide. That word is thrown around rather casually today, but I think most Jewish people understand it. They might remember it from stories of their ancestors as the Holocaust.

The holocaust lives in their collective memories but they don’t seem to equate what is being done to these Palestinians with what was done to their people 80 to 90 years ago. What Hitler and his Nazi Party did to Jews and many other groups was accepted by the German people at the time but today anyone who condones such things is looked at as pure evil. The Germans did conduct mass starvation in order to eliminate people groups from certain lands they wanted for German settlers. Slavs, Eastern European Jews, along with other indigenous people were systematically starved and the survivors were shipped out so Germans could have their land.

Does that sound familiar because it is exactly what Israel is accused of today. In order to allow one’s mind to accept such cruelty the people being eliminated must be reduced to inhuman status, subhuman as Hitler called them, or for the Palestinians, human vermin. How can any person who professes to know God make such judgments, I cannot understand, but their hearts must be made of stone. The Old Testament passages of the bible are sometimes used to justify it. I’m no theologian, as I keep saying, but I just don’t get it.

I read many American commentators daily who take the position that these things first of all are exaggerated and second they are caused by Hamas to bring international condemnation down on Israel. Commentators are people with a national audience who make millions by commenting on the news as I am doing right now for free. Some people take vast leaps to favor Israel and always give the Israeli leadership the benefit of the doubt while others are the opposite blaming them for literally everything.

Listen to Chris Hedges of the Hedges Report, “Israelis have blinded themselves morally and intellectually. They view genocide through the lens of a bankrupt media and political class that tells them what they want to hear and shows them what they want to see. They believe that the extermination of a people, including children condemned as human contaminants, makes the world, especially their world, a happier and safer place…. They are the heirs of Pol Pot, the killers that carried out the genocides in East Timor, Rwanda, and Bosnia and, yes, the Nazis. Israel, like all genocidal states—no population since World War ll has been dispossessed and starved with such speed and ruthlessness—has a final solution that would have earned the stamp of approval from Adolph Eichmann.”

I know that truth is very important and in this digital age it is a rare and precious commodity. Lying is a tactic used when the truth does not support your cause.  Is the Israeli government responsible for the famine in Gaza or is Hamas responsible for the famine in Gaza. I admit that it is really hard to get a firm grasp on the truth because the urge is to see events for what your world view wants them to be.

Is your world view that Israelis and by extension all Jews worldwide are monsters who are systematically starving to death 2.1 million people so they can have their little pile of rubble. Does your world view allow you to explain away as self defense among many explanations whatever action the Israeli government takes. It is very difficult to know the truth for certain about anything. That is why a jury is required to find a criminally accused defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Is there reasonable doubt in this case where Israel is accused of perhaps the most horrible crime that one could imagine.

The accusations against Israel are causing persecution and attacks against Jews around the world even here in the United States. Pro-Palestinian people read stories of what is always described as genocide and take revenge on Jews here in America who obviously had nothing to do with it. Those attacks fuel even more hatred by supporters of Israel which then fuels more Pro-Palestinian hatred. That is the never-ending cycle of war and it is why wars have been raging in that part of the world for thousands of years. Hatred is passed on from generation to generation and all efforts to resolve the conflict just seem to make it worse.

What does all this have to do with the United States. Why couldn’t the U.S. just wash its collective hands ala Pontious Pilate and walk away. The U.S.  could not walk away from this struggle with clean hands no matter how many times it washed them. There are things that could be done to help and the U.S. has always been good at helping. Right now, it is busy helping its special ally conduct its foreign policy. I said it’s virtually impossible to be sure of any facts about Gaza but here is a fact that is incontrovertible.

Israeli foreign policy is American foreign policy since the U.S. is always there to conduct policy by force for Israel. This could not happen without American assistance and American support. Israel conducts its attacks in Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran with the full support of the American taxpayers. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, an organization I often rely on for who is funding what says that the United States supplies 69% of Israel’s weapons and virtually all the fighter jets Israel uses to conduct its attacks. Germany supplies 30% and I trust you can see the irony in that.

In conclusion, folks, I was ready to admit that I could not form an opinion that did not have doubts in it and then I saw Tucker Carlson’s interview of Tony Aguilar. That man can be trusted and believed so listen to a little of his story. He went to West Point and retired after 25 years as a combat infantry officer. He was trained in special forces and deployed 12 times to war zones and literally spent years

Darrell Castle talks about what the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, called a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people.

THE VERY DEFINITION OF A COUP

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 25th day of July in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about what the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, called a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people.

 Before I begin I want to take a moment and recognize that this month is the 15th anniversary of the Castle Report. Yes, folks I have been doing this for 15 years. It was conceived in a hotel in the state of Idaho back in 2010 after a discussion with some friends in the Constitution Party about how we needed people to speak on the issues. I said I will do it but only if no one tries to control what I say or what I talk about and to this point no one has. I will admit that sometimes I wonder if anyone cares about the issues enough to control what I say.

Yes, Tulsi made some explosive accusations and she has released the documents to prove them. I’m starting to think that perhaps it was not a good idea for Hillary Clinton to refer to Tulsi as a Russian agent during the 2016 primary campaign. Perhaps it was not even a good idea to have her placed on the terrorist watch list so she would be unnecessarily searched in every airport she traveled through. Maybe you should not have had Tulsi followed by dog teams and maybe you should not have taken her electronic gadgets including her U.S. Army issued laptop and phone as she traveled through airports.

Yes, what goes around comes around and now the way Tulsi has been treated by Democrats, especially since she used to be one, is and has been shameful but am I saying she released the documents for revenge. No, I’m not saying that because the documents speak for themselves and Tulsi has demonstrated the honor expected of a 20-year army officer to this point. Revenge can be sweet though, and as they say it is a dish best served cold.

How explosive are Tulsi’s allegations let’s take a look. By the way I assume that everyone is aware of what I’m talking about in regard to the completely false Russia gate accusations against Trump so my intent is to look at the possible ramifications. The word treason is often used because it is a capital offense with no statute of limitations and so the charges can be brought no matter how long ago the alleged offense occurred. Think about it like this folks; the senior official in charge of all American Intelligence operations is now stating unequivocally that former President Obama and the subordinates of his team intentionally sabotaged the peaceful transfer of power in 2016.

 She tells us, in effect, that they violated their oaths, betrayed their sworn duty to the American people, and attempted a coup against the legitimate government of the United States. In other words, they set out to weaken and then overthrow the government of the United States. They did all this, allegedly, not on behalf of some foreign power, but on behalf of their own power. They had power and they wanted to keep it because I suppose they had the power addiction really bad and they just couldn’t be bothered about the rules of the game. So, do those charges constitute treason. The United States Constitution Article 3 Section 3 defines treason.

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.”

So, again do the allegations constitute treason. I suppose one could try to allege that the acts constituted war against the United States, but it seems to me that the document, the Constitution, the rule of law, means that the war must be conducted on behalf of a foreign power. Not treason then, at least in my view, so what crimes did these people commit, allegedly. I won’t try to list all the possibilities but the DOJ lawyers could look at each one and fit that into the crimes listed in the U.S. Code.

We are very fortunate to have an apparently honest and obviously courageous woman like Tulsi Gabbard sorting through this mess. The powers that be, the deep state, and all those power seekers in the Democrat Party must be terrified and determined to get some scandal on Tulsi to remove her as a threat. General Michael Flynn, who was Trump’s National Security Advisor in the first Trump Administration until he was driven from office by the crimes of the people accused by the documents Tulsi has released put it like this: “This is why Gabbard was attacked so relentlessly over the past few weeks and months. They knew if there were anyone with guts to investigate the attempted coup, it would be her.”

It appears to me that the evidence released by Tulsi is overwhelming so the question is always what if anything will be done with it. Will any of the accused, if they are found guilty, be sentenced. Time will tell but the words so often used in the lawfare waged against Trump come to mind, no one is above the law. Is that phrase, no one is above the law, really true. Well, it’s supposed to be true going all the way back to the Magna Charta in 1215 the king was from then on to be subject to the law as was every Englishman. I suspect, however, that it is no longer true. I believe that is because Washington is so irredeemably corrupt that they always find a way with the help of their friends in the media to worm through the cracks in perception.

Quote from Tulsi, “The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic. It’s worse than politicization of intelligence. These were manufactured intelligence documents that sought to achieve President Obama and his team’s objective, which was to undermine President Trump’s presidency and subvert the will of the American people.” Did the media assist in the criminal acts of the accused and if so how. Quote from Paul Craig Roberts about the media efforts against Trump.

“Gabbard said that Americans working in the intelligence agencies who were disgusted by Obama’s attempted frame up of Trump—an act of treason which carries the death penalty—are now coming forward as whistle blowers. Will America’s First Black President be the first president to be convicted of a capital crime? Or will the corrupt American Establishment succeed in protecting their puppet?

The whore media is not happy about this development as the presstitutes did all they could to make the fake story stick. Americans should understand that their media was an important participant in the plot against the people’s will. Now the whores have moved on to using Epstein against Trump.”

A lot of different approaches were tried in the effort by a former administration to discredit a future administration including the creation of a set of complete lies concocted by a British ex spy known as the Steele dossier. That document told us that not only was Donald Trump aided by the very evil Vladimir Putin when he won the 2016 election but while Trump was in Moscow he was cavorting with prostitutes. Well, it turns out, and the documents clearly show that the Steele Dossier was a complete fantasy and a hoax paid for by Hilliary Clinton’s campaign and personally ordered to be used by President Obama.

The” coup” organized and conducted by the Obama Administration was a kind of soft coup using lies, and fabricated documents, organized lawfare, all published and authenticated by the willing American media. I call it a soft coup because it used the things I just mentioned instead of violence. No tanks rolled through the streets of Washington except symbolically. The purpose through the deliberate actions of people in the Obama Administration, was to undermine the Trump Administration and hinder the peaceful transfer of power and thus as Obama would have put it fundamentally change America from a Constitutional Republic into his creation and his fiefdom.

Until Tulsi Gabbard came along my thoughts were that any possibility of holding people to account for this coup was close to zero. Will any of the accused in this coup be charged. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Peter Strzok and his lover Lisa Page, Sally yates, Samantha Power, Victoria Nuland of Ukrainian Coup fame. Yes that Victoria Nuland I guess she became kind of an expert on Coups but she was in the meeting called by Obama to discuss strategy.

So, this was the first strategy and the first direct attack on trump and the will of the American people. Next came two efforts to impeach him and a series of never ending lawfare attacks which resulted in a conviction in New York by a prosecutor now accused of serious crimes herself. If that were all it would be plenty but add to it two assassination attempts one of which wounded him. Yes, folks these people were and are serious in their efforts to turn “our democracy” as they would put it into a third world banana republic.

The abrogation of the constitution to use extrajudicial methods to destroy the incoming president. It is the very definition of a coup. We don’t have coups here in America do we. No, we respect our democracy and the rule of law unless of course this group of Democrat politicians and their bureaucrats were different from anything in America before them.

Finally, folks, is this the worst political scandal in American history, maybe. Governments throughout the centuries have been all about scandals, pogroms, wars, persecutions, and criminality, as well as sexual debauchery, depravity, and other forms of predatory behavior....

Darrell Castle continues his discussion of Jeffrey Epstein and the list of his customers which doesn't exist along with the subjects of his blackmail which as we know does not exist either.

DOES THE EPSTEIN LIST REALLY MATTER

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. There are many things of vital importance today such as war in the Middle East and war in Ukraine but I have decided to continue my discussion of Jeffrey Epstein and the list of his customers which doesn’t exist along with the subjects of his blackmail which as we all know does not exist either.

Just to refresh your collective memories a little bit last week the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a client list of prominent people who were being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein acting as the agent for the Israeli Intelligence Service, Mossad. There are many reasons why the list is so important and why it threatens what’s left of government credibility.

First of all, it’s extremely frightening to think that we have a government that is completely untrustworthy in all respects. I’m not talking about Democrats and Republicans I’m talking about the U.S. Government in general. Who would want to pay taxes voluntarily or serve in the military of a government like that. To further complicate things throughout history when people have lost faith in their government’s credibility revolution has been the result. Two prominent examples would be the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian/Communist Revolution of 1917. In both cases the government which came forward to save the country from chaos and mass murder was far worse and killed far more people than its predecessor.

Here in 2025 America, we have a government which came in with such promise for most of us and certainly for the President’s followers who were known as MAGA. Together, America was going to be great again. MAGA had certain goals which carried the campaign to victory. There would be an end to illegal immigration and there would be deportation of illegal criminals. So far so good although Democrats in congress fight each and every deportation even when the one being deported is a known criminal. Now we hear rumors that Trump might be considering some form of amnesty but his base rebelled when that test rumor was circulated.

The answer to the rebellion was simple. Amnesty was proposed piecemeal and in a disguised fashion. The folks in big agriculture, the restaurant business and chicken slaughterhouses need their cheap labor so maybe the President would consider an exemption for workers in those industries.

 The heart of MAGA was of course the hope of peace. This president was going to bring peace and withdraw America from forever wars. Trump said in his campaign that he could end the war in Ukraine with a few phone calls but now six months after inauguration the war rages on and it has become his war.

Just this week he decided to bully Vladimir Putin by giving him 50 days to comply with Trump’s demands or he would “ruin Russia financially.” Zelensky said that it is too long and just wastes time and lives. I guess he just wants to get on with killing. He is shipping “billions of dollars” of new weapons to Ukraine including long range missiles designed to reach deep into Russia, but now he says they won’t be used to hit Moscow. I hope that someone reminded the President that Russia has about 6000 nuclear warheads with systems to deliver them which cannot be defeated conventionally. He would also be wise to remember that Genghis Khan, Nepoleon Bonaparte, and Adolph Hitler were all unsuccessful in their efforts to intimidate and then conquer Russia.

The point is that with a couple of notable exceptions the peace president is no more. The notable exceptions were Marco Rubio’s successful negotiations to bring peace to the Pakistan-India War and a war in Africa which had been on again off again for decades. War is the bottom line for all people who labor for the government no matter which party they inhabit. They will disagree on a few things like abortion and mutilation of children so that we sheep will think we actually have a choice but once in office we find they are rather squishy about even those things.

The one thing they all agree on is war all over the planet especially war on behalf of Israel. Trump appeared to be a threat to that world order and they were scared of him for that reason. When they call him fascist and say he is the same as Hitler they really mean the opposite and the fear is that he is not those things. Once in office it took only 6 months for the powers that be to show him who really runs the world. So, the lesson and its aftermath is that MAGA is over and greatness will just have to wait. The war in Ukraine is worse than ever and now we are no longer afraid to attack nuclear armed Russia. How long before Putin grows weary of it and decides to stop sitting by while his country is attacked. I hope his patience continues because when patience runs out World War lll won’t be far behind.

Wars on behalf of Israel simply cannot be stopped even though my opinion is that they are illegal. The Symington Amendment, which in 1976 amended the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 forbids aid to nations which enrich uranium to weapons grade outside of International Atomic Energy Agency Controls. The way around that has always been to refuse to acknowledge Israel has such weapons. Wars on behalf of Israel could be stopped by telling Mr. Netanyahu that there would be no more, not one more bullet and not one more dollar. Here’s something you might not know, folks. The U.S. Corps of Engineers is in Israel right now repairing damage and rebuilding infrastructure. I imagine they could be useful in East Tennessee, and North Carolina repairing hurricane damage but we have our priorities.

Speaking of disasters think about this for a moment. The recent horrible disaster in Texas with so many dead and so many of them children. Can you imagine the horror and sadness of not even being able to recover your 7-year-old daughter’s body. Well, multiply that death toll by 5000 times and you may get a little picture of what mothers in Gaza have gone through, allegedly. Is it all true, I don’t know but I’ve seen enough, read enough, and heard the testimonies of people actually there to convince me that it is. Testimonies such as the Palestinian woman who is also a physician. She is continuing to treat victims in the rubble despite all 9, yes 9, of her own children having been killed.

Is Israel as a nation of Jewish people capable of such things. I wish I could say no but I think back to 1967 when the USS Liberty sailing 13 miles off the Egyptian coast with the U.S. flag clearly flying was attacked by Israeli fighter jets and strafed and bombed repeatedly. The Israelis even strafed men in lifeboats eventually killing 34 American sailors. One brave sailor managed to get an antenna aloft and a rescue distress was sent. The message was intercepted by the Israelis and they called off the attack thus allowing the little ship to survive. Why would they do that, who knows. A reasonable guess would be to draw the U.S. into their war against the combined Arab armies which they were engaged in. The point is that they have proven they are indeed capable of mass murder.

That takes us back to Jeffrey Epstein and whether he was an Israeli, Mossad agent. Tucker Carlson thinks he was and that has brought a lot of criticism down on his head. Tucker was a speaker at Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point event the other day and he made that allegation publicly. I listened to his speech, not live but later and he was quite adamant that Epstein was an Israeli agent. Epstein’s close associate and even closer lover, Ghislane Maxwell comes from a historic Israeli spy family. Her father, Robert Maxwell was a very high-ranking Israeli spy with medals to prove it and even a memorial in Israel in his honor.

Was this woman who was definitely Robert Maxwell’s daughter, and definitely Jeffrey Epstein’s procurer of children and young women the only one who was guilty of anything besides Epstein himself. That doesn’t sound very believable to me. Maxwell’s family hasn’t given up hope of getting her out of prison and to that end they have filed a habeas corpus motion alleging that she did not get a fair trial, but as of last Wednesday it was denied. I can believe her trial wasn’t fair as she was obviously supposed to take the fall for the guilty but she still pimped out children to the rich and famous. So, maybe fair but maybe selective prosecution. Who were the rich and famous and were any of their sex with children episodes filmed. It’s hard to believe they were not and therefore it is easy to believe they were blackmailed.

This entire episode reminds me of the moral rot that has infected our leaders and thereby our entire society. It has left us susceptible to blackmail whether that happened or not. We are told by the DOJ that there is no blackmail and no list so are we to believe the unbelievable. When the story about Tucker’s speech accusing Israel broke it was quickly responded to by a former Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett.

“As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty; The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false.”

How much credence should we give to Mr. Bennett’s strong denial. My answer is none, zero because anyone or any organization that would send spies around the world to buy and kidnap children then pimp them out to the officials of a foreign government should not be considered as potentially truthful. Could all this potential or possible blackmail be the reason for so many wars. Could it be why U.S. forces are in Israel right now....
