Richard Solomon, author of The Tao Guide to Navigating the Satanic Matrix, discusses his brand-new article “Trump Win 2.0 Vis-à-vis China.”
Interview excerpt:
Richard Solomon is one of the best writers on the internet in my humble opinion, and maybe in his less humble opinion. He just published a great new piece at the Uunz Review that came up right before the show started. It's called "Trump Win Vis-a-vis China and His Role in End-Stage Hyper-Capitalism." Now that's a mouthful. Tell us about it, Richard. And tell us about yourself. Who are you and how did you become one of the best internet writers out there?
Well, before I begin, if it's okay with you, can I just plug my new book? It's called The Tao Guide to Navigating the Satanic Matrix. And anybody can get a free digital copy on taoisnow.org.
So are you like an evangelical Taoist?
I'm like a westernized Taoist in the sense that I'm a product of the American cultural milieu. And so I read the Tao by Lao Tzu. And I've basically processed that and put it through my own neural pathway to come up with my interpretation or my viewpoint on it. I think it remains in alignment with the Tao and the spirit of the Tao, but I think it's geared towards today's situation or our environment in that we are living in a satanic matrix.
And what I mean by that is the French philosopher, Jean Baudrillard, wrote a book called Simulacra and Simulations. And he basically stated that there would come a point where we're living in this end-stage empire with high technology, end-stage capitalism, where it would be very hard to discern real from the unreal. And everything becomes a simulation and then a simulation of a simulation. And an example of that would be like fake AI video. So for example... let's say they wanted to put a AI generated president of the United States He's brilliant. He's AI. He could answer any question because he has all the whole internet at his disposal.
If he's brilliant, he doesn't have a chance in hell for a president.
Well, he's brilliant in the sense that he can recall and collect data and gauge demographics, audience responses, poll data, and give the perfect response that people might want to hear.
And so that's an extreme version. But there are other things, like if you see a politician doing something bad that may be an enemy of the state, that can be constructed on fake AI video. The point being, we're reaching a point where we don't know what's real and unreal. We're talking to an AI bot in a comment section. How do you know it's human or real, a controlled opposition versus legitimate activist?
We're entering the simulation age, and it's hard to ascertain what's the truth. And so...I find the Tao an excellent operating system within the satanic matrix or this simulation that they've created. And by they, I mean international finance, big tech, the Zionist lobby...the deep states, Daesh, Mossad. All these forces that have coalesced that want to suppress humanity are creating this, what Hindus call Maya or illusion.
And so the purpose of my book and what I found in my life, what helps me navigate this simulation, is the Tao. (In the book) I just kind of give some of my insights on it and hopefully it'll be helpful to some people.

When people suffer unbearable injustice, find no legal recourse, and are censored and silenced when they cry out for justice, they sometimes take the law into their own hands vigilante-style. That, we may suppose, is what happened when United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson was executed in Manhattan by a gunman whose shell casings left the memorable message “depose,” “deny” and “delay,” referring to the common industry tactic of stonewalling payouts.
The New York Times, America’s premier defender of institutional injustice, is aghast that Americans are siding with our first-ever folk hero CEO-killer. And NBC is shocked that America’s “internet sleuths” are more interested in helping the killer than catching him.
Before social media, such talk would have been confined to bars, cafés and dining room table conversations, while the mainstream mind-control machine would have ignored and/or marginalized it. Today, thanks to the internet, we can see that everybody else is reacting pretty much the same way we are: “Yippee!!!!!! One down, 140 to go!”
Now, to echo the immortal words of Richard Nixon, let me be perfectly clear: I have no intention of shooting down Stripe’s scumbag CEO Patrick Collison in the streets of Manhattan, or San Francisco, or anywhere else for that matter…though if he ever shows up here in Saidia, Morocco, I might be tempted to kick his scruffy little Irish-Zionist ass up and down the beach a few times, and finish by using his head as a soccer ball.
And if the news suddenly popped up on my laptop screen that Collison perished during one of his pilgrimages to kiss Netanyahu’s tush in Tel Aviv when a Resistance drone equipped with a nuclear weapon had vaporized most of that satanic city, I must admit that I would leap to my feet cheering wildly, then buy the whole café a round of inexpensive non-alcoholic beverages. (One nice thing about Moroccan cafés is that the beverages are inexpensive and non-alcoholic, and the patrons unanimously cheer for the Resistance.)
If Collison were to be tragically shot down in, say, downtown San Francisco by another folk hero, here is what the shell casings might look like:
If Collison gets shot down it won’t be by me. I have an airtight alibi. I am sitting peacefully in the shade, typing temperately on a laptop, hanging out on the patio with Muse the Cat here in Saidia, Morocco, 6107 miles from San Francisco.
As long as I can, I will wage jihad peacefully by way the pen. So let my pen issue a warning to the CEOs: Your class is living on borrowed time. When I was growing up in 1960s and 1970s America, CEOs earned about twenty times the average worker’s salary. Today, they earn 320 times more than their average slave, I mean, employee. Are today’s CEOs sixteen times better? Hardly. More like sixteen times worse.
The health insurance industry is a poster child for the evils of America’s oligarchy. It has repeatedly bribed politicians to kill single-payer universal health care and thereby insure its own bloated, parasitical existence. That’s what all oligarchs do: They buy our corrupt government, largely through bribes euphemistically known as “campaign contributions,” to facilitate their larceny.
The whole American plutocracy richly deserves a 1789-style fate. And from where I sit, its support for the genocide of Gaza is the icing on the cake. For details, read my recent American Free Press article reproduced below.
The needles are knitting away assiduously, spelling out the names of America’s scumbag CEOs. Are handguns with makeshift silencers the new guillotines?

Israeli Torture-Killers Enjoy Impunity…for Now
By Kevin Barrett, for American Free Press
Is “Israel” a criminal state? Its prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant have been indicted by the International Criminal Court. The charges: war crimes and crimes against humanity. Those charges are a euphemism for genocide.
Netanyahu, Gallant, and the Israeli state murdered most of the roughly 600 Israeli civilians who died during the Hamas-led raid on October 7, 2023, then lied outrageously in order to incite their pre-planned genocide of Gaza. (Netanyahu mass-murdered those Israeli civilians with tanks and helicopter gunships by invoking the Hannibal Directive, which calls for killing both hostage takers and hostages in order to avoid having to negotiate their release.)
Netanyahu is unrepentant. He called the ICC indictment “antisemitic” and immediately ramped up the genocide.
Though the official Gaza death count stood at over 45,000 at the beginning of December 2024, the reality is much worse—at least 200,000 according to Ralph Nader and others, the vast majority women and children. The official count only includes victims who have been positively identified. But countless civilians have been dying slowly beneath the rubble of their homes, and many bodies remain unexcavated.
Others are annihilated beyond recognition or identification. Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, explains: “Israel is testing weapons on us that we do not recognize. They drop bombs with terrifying sounds and when a person gets within 200-300 meters of them they vaporize. The Israeli army bombs entire residential blocks wiping out all their inhabitants…When these weapons are used on residential buildings they reduce them to small fragments and rubble.”
The Israeli plan, which used the October 7 raid as a pretext, has always been to mass murder the people of Gaza so that Israeli Jews can steal their land. And even as the genocidal Zionist criminals exterminate the women and children of Gaza, they maintain torture camps where political prisoners are sodomized to death, with the full support of the majority of Israeli Jews. As I wrote in “Israeli Rapists and the Depravity of the Zionist Mind,” when US pressure forced Israel to arrest prison guards who had sodomized prisoners to death with batons: “Immediately a ‘right to rape’ movement broke out, supported by a chorus of voices throughout much of the Israeli media, and featuring pro-rape protesters gathering to show their rabid support for sexual violence at many locations around the country.”
A recent article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz found that while at least 46 prisoners have been murdered in the Israeli torture prisons, none of the perpetrators have been punished: “Not a single investigation is in closing stages, and no case has led to an indictment.” While the murderers and rapists remain free, Israeli prison guards charged with theft of even minor items are routinely jailed: “In one case, a reserve soldier stole a Kalashnikov rifle from the Gaza Strip. He claims he took them as souvenirs rather than for sale, and has been under arrest for over six months.”
Six months of incarceration for stealing a rifle, while rapist-murderers walk free? What explains the discrepancy? “A military source told Haaretz that this conduct, under which no soldiers were arrested or indicted in the more serious cases, stems from the military advocate fear of dealing with the more complex cases, in part due to severe public criticism.” In other words, Israel’s “right to rape” movement has mobilized so much popular support for the rapists and murderers at Sde Teiman and other torture camps that the authorities “fear dealing with those cases.”
It seems that the Israeli right-to-rape activists have succeeded in establishing a new human right: the right to sodomize political prisoners to death. What’s more, the Israelis don’t even bother to conceal their depravity. Al-Jazeera reports:
On being asked by Ahmad Tibi, one of the Arab MPs within the Israeli Knesset last week if it was legitimate “to insert a stick into a person’s rectum”, Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party, responded: “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!”
The deeply-rooted genocidal nature of the Zionist regime has been obvious to most of the world since 1948. Only massive bribes and threats convinced leaders of Global South nations to recognize the so-called state of “Israel.” But the majority of Earth’s population has always insisted that there is no “Israel,” just Occupied Palestine. That global majority recognizes that “Israel” is just a euphemism for the genocide of Palestinians.
The United States essentially stands alone enabling and funding the ongoing, accelerating genocide. The world watches, seethes, and plots revenge. Will America’s leaders—and ordinary Americans—one day suffer severe consequences for their complicity in Israeli war crimes and genocide?

Paul Levy is the author of three books on Wetiko, the “nightmare mind-virus” that feeds on wars and human misery. He argues that once enough of us notice the dreamlike nature of reality, we will be able to collectively attain lucidity and change the dream for the better. Wetiko and related manifestations of evil, he asserts, are there to help wake us up to/in the dream.
So why are we dreaming genocide and looming World War III?
I got to know Paul after his first book The Madness of George W. Bush struck a chord among some of us in the 9/11 truth movement. Since then, America’s leadership has continued to reflect negative archetypes, with the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections featuring knock-down-drag-out fights between the “bad mother” and “bad father” archetypes. (Paul also had interesting things to say about COVID and how to cure it.)
Perhaps many if not most American presidents have been gangsters or near-gangsters. But none have ever been such obvious, shameless gangsters as Biden and Trump. Does the fact that such people assume leadership roles tell us something about ourselves…something we might prefer to ignore, but would be better off acknowledging?
from THE MADNESS OF GEORGE W. BUSH: A REFLECTION OF OUR COLLECTIVE PSYCHOSIS (substitute “Trump” for “Bush”)
The archetypal role of the negative father that Bush embodies is a figure that exists deep inside of everyone. We’re collectively living out the archetypal myth of the death of the negative patriarchy, which is symbolized by the myth of the old king who is in dire need of transformation. We have all dreamed up the Bush regime to play this out for us so that we can bring consciousness to this part of ourselves. The old king is dissociated from and threatened by Eros, from feeling, from the feminine, from the heart, from relatedness, even from mother nature and the environment (which it objectifies and tries to dominate, instead of being in relationship with), and from love. Concerned about nothing other than itself, this figure is indifferent to other people’s suffering, all the while professing its compassion. It is a true wolf in sheep’s clothing. Another name for the mythic negative father is ME disease. At the root of Bush’s process is an unwillingness and seeming inability to experience his own sense of sin, guilt and shame, as if he is afraid of being exposed, of being found out. He’s clearly unable to feel any remorse and experience his own weakness and vulnerability, his own sense of failure. This threatens his narcissism too much. This inability to experience his shame and guilt sets in motion a self-perpetuating cycle of denial, cover-up and projecting the shadow, all of which are based on a lie. Bush then falls into an endless loop of hiding from his own lie, which is to say, from himself. This process allows Bush to becomes a conduit for egophrenia to take him over and incarnate its malignant aspect through him.\

First hour: Velislav Grivov discusses his new article “In Support of Palestinian Armed Resistance Against Israel.” A Bulgarian patriot whose ancestors resisted wars of aggression and colonization by the nominally Muslim Ottoman Empire, Velislav Grivov writes:
“Shaitans (Шейтани) is the word the brave and valiant Chechens use. They should know. They fought them in Chechnya and are now fighting the Zion-Nazis in the Ukraine.
“And now Shaitans are committing the genocide in Palestine. And in Lebanon. And they have been doing it in Syria, in Libya, in Iraq, in Yemen, in Iran, in Afghanistan…
“I really hope that Christians and Muslims, and people from other religions or people that are not religious, Europeans and Arabs, and people in the rest of the world, realize the danger of Satan and Satan’s worshippers and fight back.
“The people of the so-called countries of the Axis of the Resistance have been fighting back – the Syrians, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Iranians and of course the unwavering warriors Ansar Allah.”

Patrick Chenal’s family produces great football players—his brother Leo, likely the best linebacker in University of Wisconsin history, joined the Chiefs two years ago and has helped them win consecutive Super Bowls—as well as uncommonly astute red-pilled understandings of what’s really going on in the world. (I got to know father Dave Chenal when sons Leo and John were playing for the Badgers and resisting the vax from hell.) Patrick, who regularly offers real-time feedback on these live broadcasts, is interested in the checkered history of the Hunt family, the long-time owners of the Kansas City Chiefs, including their possible links to domestic assassinations. Speaking of which, check out this text interview with Hunt’s right-hand man, John Curington.
Excerpt from the interview:
Patrick Chenal: Mitchel Whitington was the guy who wrote the book that I have in front of me right here. It's called HL Hunt: Motive and Opportunity. It’s about the means by which H.L. Hunt influenced the assassination of JFK, King, Bobby, and Hoffa And he goes into how he had a motive to assassinate the Kennedys. Hunt had originally backed Lyndon Johnson to become president in 1960. That fell through at the convention. They made some deals, and according to Whittington, it was through Hunt's finagling that JFK came to a compromise and made Lyndon Johnson his vice president. And the implied condition was that Kennedy would be out for the next term and Lyndon would be president. At least that's what his attorney, John Currington, has written.
Kevin Barrett: There has been a lot of speculation about that. There was a source that reported that prior to accepting the vice presidential nomination for 1960, Lyndon Johnson did some kind of quick study to find out what were the odds of the vice president becoming president, especially in the event of the president's death. And he may have actually messed with those odds at some point.
Patrick Chenal: Yeah, and it's interesting we use the word odds. Hunt came to his money because he was very lucky at the casino, at gambling. And with his winnings, he was able to buy up the East Texas oil field that made him rich during World War II. He became the richest man in the world because of his oil holdings. He supplied more oil and petroleum products to the allies than any other person on the planet during World War II. So he was instrumental in that whole war effort and highly connected to the military as a consequence, as you can imagine. So when he went to Lyndon Johnson—Lyndon Johnson was there to protect what was known as the oil depletion allowance, which meant that for 27% of the oil they pumped up, the proceeds were tax-free. This book talks about how he had his own personal internal revenue service. The IRS had a full-time employee working in the office across from H.L. Hunt in his office complex in Dallas (which overlooked Dealy Plaza)…

The Syrian Army is pressing ahead with its operations to confront and expel foreign-backed terrorists from the country's north and northwestern provinces. Reports on the ground say that the Syrian military backed by the Russian Air Force struck the terror groups in villages of Hazarin and Al-Raqeya in the southern countryside of the province of Idlib. Airstrikes also targeted positions of Al-Nusra Front Terror Group around Khan Sheikhoun south of Idlib and Morek in the northern countryside of Hama. The Syrian military says it has reinforced its defense lines with various means of fire, personnel and equipment in areas where clashes are underway with the terrorists. The army also says it's managed to secure a number of areas including Ma'ardis. According to the Syrian media, nearly terrorists have been killed in three days of fighting. Clashes between the army and the terrorists erupted after attack theory groups, including al-Nusra Front, launched a surprise attack on northern and northwestern parts of Syria on Wednesday.
And reactions and condemnations continue pouring in over the resurgence of foreign-backed terrorism in Syria. The Arab League has issued a statement stressing the need to respect the sovereignty and preserve the territorial integrity of Syria. League Secretary General Ahmed Abu Ghait expressed concerns over the continuous developments that Syria is witnessing and their impacts on civilians. In a phone call, the UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said the country stands with Syria and supports it in combating terrorism and unifying its territory. The Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudanian and Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein expressed their country's support, saying that Syria's security and stability are linked to Iraq's national security. In a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yivan Gil expressed country solidarity with the Syrian people and government, calling on the international community to condemn terrorist attacks in Syria.
And now joining us at Saidiya, Morocco, is Dr. Kevin Barrett, editor at Veterans Today. Pleasure to have you on, Dr. Barrett. I hope you're safe and doing well. What are we to make sure of this resurgence of terrorism in Syria, their objectives and their backers?
Well, the first question is, why now? The timing is crucial to understanding what's going on. And it's obviously not a coincidence that this happened at exactly the same moment that the genocidal Zionist occupation entity is changing its focus from its unsuccessful war on Lebanon, in which it was forced to accept essentially a defeat, to a war on Syria. It's now trying to take out the Lebanese people's ability to defend themselves, which they did so successfully, by going into Syria and attacking Syria and trying to cut off any means that supporters of Lebanese independence will be able to use to help ensure that Hezbollah and the patriotic forces in Lebanon will be able to continue to defend themselves successfully in the future.
So the Zionist entity attacked Syria. And at the same moment, these takfiri terrorists who are armed and supported by the Zionist entity's backers in Washington, D.C., also attacked Syria. Clearly, this is a coordinated operation. It's not only a response to the Zionists' loss in their war on Lebanon, but it's also an attempt to bring back the divide and conquer strategy to try to do something about the success that Chinese-backed and to some extent Russian-backed diplomacy has had in uniting the region against the Zionists. The leadership of the Gulf Arab regimes, which had been very pro-Zionist in the past, has awakened to the futility of accepting the Zionists as a permanent entity. They've seen this genocide. They know their people will never stand for that. And so they have gone along with these Chinese backed efforts to bring together the whole region in a kind of a peaceful settlement and solution to some of the smaller differences, which will allow the region to settle the big problem, which is this genocidal Zionist occupation of Palestine.
And so the forces that don't like that and that want to break the region apart and to turn the different countries against each other are panicking. That's why they're now trying to ramp up this war on Syria.
But it's not working. As we've seen, the leadership in all regional countries is standing strong. And let's hope that Turkey wakes up and that the Turkish leadership realizes that this divide-and-conquer Oded Yinon strategy is aimed at them as well, and that Kurdish separatist extremists are going to be armed and turned against them in the same way that the Takfiri terrorists are being armed and turned against Syria.
And it's ironic you say that because we often hear so many regional countries, Dr. Barrett, always allude to that exact thing, that the Zionist entities' actions in West Asia do nothing but perpetrate more destabilization, insecurity, and instability for everyone in the region.
That's right. That's what it's there to do. You know, there are conspiracy theories that might be true, like so many conspiracy theories, that in fact, the reason or one of the reasons that the West supports this seemingly completely counterproductive and out-of-control genocidal Zionist entity is precisely to create so many problems in the region that it will never be successful. That is, to prevent the region from finding ways to unite and to trade productively, to get more and more political and economic unity and to become a major player in the world.
And so the forces that don't want West Asia to succeed have conspired to implant this inherently genocidal Zionist entity right there in the heart of the region, in the Holy Land. It's holy to the majority of the world's population. It is holy to four billion Christians and Muslims, along with a few million Jews, a fraction of 1% of the Abrahamic monotheists, who all look to that Holy Land as kind of the heart of their culture and their heritage.
And so by essentially destroying it and creating this Antichrist project in the Holy Land, they are sticking a dagger into the heart of West Asia. And the purpose of that is to try to ensure perpetual chaos and failure in West Asia. But the West Asian governments are starting to wake up to this, and I don't think they're going to continue to fall for this Oded-Yanon divide and conquer project for very long.
And before we let you go really quick, the West's ultimate objective when it comes to Syria—do you feel they're still after regime change? And why, when the U.S. is already occupying parts of Syria and looting its natural resources, what is there left for the West in Syria?
I don't think the West believes that it's going to succeed in imposing regime change on Syria. But I think that the so-called West, which is largely occupied by the Zionists— there's an ideological consensus among perhaps almost half of the Zionist billionaires who control the West, people who are fanatically loyal to this bizarre Zionist occupation project—I don't think that the West, the people who think about the strategic interest of the West (as opposed to fanatical Zionists) really believe that there is any realistic chance that they're going to get that regime change in Syria that they thought they could get fifteen years ago.
Instead, I think that they see this as a strategic move to try to cut off Syria from Lebanon, to increase the pressure on the resistance front, to increase pressure on Russia as Russia is on the brink of victory in Ukraine. Russia has also been a backer of the stability of the region and of the Syrian government.
So I think they're trying to increase pressure on their adversaries. And as I said earlier, they're coordinating this move with the Zionist attack on Syria as the Zionists turn from Lebanon to Syria while they continue their genocide of Gaza.

On October 30 I received an email from Stripe, Substack’s only payment processor, announcing that I had been canceled due to “risk tolerance as determined by a number of factors.” After much back-and-forth with both Stripe and Substack (see screenshots below) it became clear that there was no recourse. Stripe can cancel you because its CEO is a rabid genocide supporter, and Substack doesn’t care enough to do anything about it.
We need to boycott Stripe. That means canceling all paid Substack subscriptions. (Don’t worry, your payments to this one have already been automatically canceled! Please do NOT initiate chargebacks, that will just make my situation worse!)
Be sure to write to Substack and the writers explaining why you have canceled all your paid subscriptions, and assuring them that you will re-subscribe and then some as soon as there is an alternative to genocidal, pro-censorship Stripe. Once the normally pro-free-speech Substack gets the message, it will do the right thing and find another payment processor.
Meanwhile…I was living primarily on $2500 per month in Substack subscriptions. That is now gone, and Stripe refuses to pay the $7,786.03 they admit they owe me. See screenshots below.
So now I need to raise $2500 per month to replace my lost Substack donations. But how?
Around the beginning of each month I will announce a new SpotFund donation page for that month.
SpotFund Donation Page for my Substack Work in December 2024
Additionally, people can donate one time, or monthly or annually, through my Paypal donation page.
And I also appreciate donations to False Flag Weekly News (which came up slightly short last week).
My first preference would be for you to get used to using Spotfund. I am told they are pro-free-speech.
Thank you for your support, and please spread the word in any way you can by emailing and reposting this on social media, especially Substack Notes.

Hello Daniel,
You write "all accounts are reviewed according to our Services Agreement.” I have read Stripe’s Sevices Agreement and am sure that any impartial legal review team will find that I did not violate any of its terms. If Stripe’s “team” thinks I violated one or more terms of the agreement, obviously it must inform me which terms it erroneously claims I violated.

Hi Jim,
Stripe has apparently canceled me, without giving a reason. I assume it’s politically motivated and probably relates to my outspokenly pro-Palestine anti-Zionist writings. (I’m an ex-academician https://news.wisc.edu/archive/barrettissue/ turned dissident.)

Stripe’s pro-censorship orientation is interfering with Substack’s mission. I am in contact with other writers who have experienced similar problems, and will be writing about the issue. I would love to interview Chris Best or another appropriate Substack exec about this and related topics. And of course I would appreciate any steps Substack may take to solve this problem.

Thank you, Jim.
Any chance I could get a quote from someone representing Substack deploring Stripe’s debanking writers whose politics they disagree with?
If you’re not going to fix the problem, the least you could do is deplore it ; - )

“I think your readers and listeners might enjoy a discussion I’m hosting next month. It will last seven days in December and we will look at Zionism for a Christian perspective, looking exclusively at the work of Chuck Baldwin. Baldwin, as you may know, is a former Zionist evangelical who has repented of that position. Many opinions out there in the media are either Christian Zionist, or radical liberal atheist, making it so easy to disguise the fact that there is longstanding Christian doctrine opposed to Zionism.
“Baldwin is fiery and patriotic, making it an all the more exciting opportunity for discussion. We will listen to and discuss one or two of his sermons over the seven day period. The link to the signup is here.”
Since I’m a fan of Chuck Baldwin—I once attended his church in Kalispell, Montana—I welcomed the opportunity to discuss him…and related issues around Christianity’s strange capitulation to the Zionist Antichrist.

Shortly before yesterday’s False Flag Weekly News broadcast I saw Press TV’s article confirming the sad and shocking news of the death of my friend and colleague Scott Bennett. The article hints that Scott may have been murdered by Ukrainian kill list types and their neocon American masters due to his report to Congress on US-sponsored Ukrainian war crimes:
Bennett also reported facing “death threats and threats of violence” from the Ukrainian government, military personnel, and media during his investigation. He also received similar threats from American and NATO “elements and agents” backing Kiev’s cause. He published his findings on Telegram, asserting that he was not “suicidal in any way.” “If anything happens to me, it will be in order to try and bury this report.”
Scott also exposed Ukrainian war crimes in his film “Frontline Diary of an American Officer.” He was a regular guest on both RT and Press TV, as well as my radio show, pushing back against the dishonorable, criminal, sometimes even treasonous behavior of the people running the government he had naively served as a patriotic, God-fearing US Army officer.
Scott’s book The Shell Game describes his journey from conventional-minded Army officer specializing in psychological operations, to the martyrdom-worthy truth-and-justice hero he became. The catalyst of that momentous shift in outlook was discovering that his boss at Booz Allen Hamilton, Rabbi Dov Zakheim—the comptroller of the Pentagon on 9/11 and owner of a company that may have manufactured the remote-hijacking equipment used that day—was complicit in funding and fabricating the very terrorism that he was pretending to be fighting. After attempting to go through legal channels to present evidence of the criminal actions of Zakheim and others, Scott was framed by the criminals on absurdly bogus charges and imprisoned for two years. While in prison he met Bradley Birkenfeld, another whistleblower well-versed on the issue of who was really behind “Islamic terrorism.” By the time he got out of prison Scott, a sincere Christian, was ready to launch his “truth crusade” which in many ways paralleled my own truth jihad.
While I agree with Press TV and RT suggestions that Scott was likely martyred due to his Ukrainian war crimes report, it’s also possible that that report was merely the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. Specifically, Scott undoubtedly angered plenty of powerful people by exposing the real terrorists behind 9/11. Let’s not forget that RT founder Mikhail Lesin was murdered in a Washington DC motel room in 2016 in a coup aimed at stopping that network from spreading 9/11 truth. RT’s 2013 TruthSeeker program 9/11 and Operation Gladio, in which I feature, was basically erased from the internet by the NSA, illustrating USG’s all-out war on 9/11 truth. Lesin’s murder terrorized RT into abandoning its coverage of the subject.
In spring 2018, Scott Bennett was instrumental in an effort by a group of former US military, intelligence, and diplomatic personnel to convince the Iranian government to mount a “9/11 truth defense” to a civil lawsuit alleging Iranian complicity in the attacks on New York and Washington. As I wrote in the aftermath of that conference, which triggered a massive panic and crackdown on the New Horizon NGO by the neocon-Zionist perps:
Giraldi, Springmann, Bennett, and Michael Maloof were invited and attended (the special conference in Mashhad, Iran). On the final day of that Conference, Bennett and others spearheaded an attempt to convince the Iranian government to bring 9/11 truth into an American federal courtroom…When the May 2018 New Horizon conference in Mashhad nearly persuaded the Iranian government to throw its full support behind a major 9/11 truth initiative—one that could have led to discovery proceedings forcing suspected 9/11 perpetrators like Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and others to testify under oath— the neoconservative element of the Establishment must have panicked.
I suspect that New Horizon founder Nader Talebzadeh, who like Scott Bennett succumbed at a relatively early age to an oddly-timed “fatal illness,” was killed in part because the Mashhad conference had nearly succeeded in blowing 9/11 wide open. The utter panic that gripped Israel and its US agents in the wake of the Mashhad conference suggests that what these people fear most is the possibility that 9/11 truth could gain the full backing of one or more sovereign governments and then be adjudicated in a bona fide courtroom. In the wake of the Gaza genocide, and the ICC/ICJ proceedings against Netanyahu and co., the possibility that the genocide perps, who are also the 9/11 perps, will one day face a degree of formal justice, looms large enough to be worth pursuing. If and when that finally happens, it will be a fitting monument to Scott Bennett and other fallen truth warriors.
Transcript of my interview with Scott Bennett in the wake of the 2018 Mashhad conference
Welcome to Truth Jihad Radio. I'm Kevin Barrett, talking to all sorts of interesting people, telling you what's really going on in the world. And today I thought I'd get back with my old friend Scott Bennett. We were together in Mashhad, Iran, a couple of months ago. Scott was a key person in the process that led to the letter to the Iranian government signed by 70 or 80 9/11 truth people saying that they'll stand up and defend Iran in a court of law if Iran appeals the ridiculous case in that federal court in New York, in which Iran was ordered to pay billions of dollars in reparations for 9/11, which obviously Iran had nothing to do with.
So we want Iran to turn the tables and go after the real 9/11 perps who are more associated with the American and Israeli governments, not necessarily in that order. And anyway, Scott Bennett was a key guy in getting this initiative going. And it may lead to unforeseen places. We're hearing rumors right now of Iran going after the real 9/11 perps in an Iranian courtroom, and maybe bringing over some 9/11 experts to testify. That would be interesting.
It all goes back to something that happened when I wasn't there, and Scott Bennett was. This was in Meshad, Iran. So, Scott, tell us about how this idea came about.
Well, Kevin, it's an honor to be with you, my friend. And I was so blessed to be with you in Iran. And it was an incredible, incredible conference with incredible people. I mean, such talent and good hearts from Phil Giraldi to Michael Maloof to Peter Van Buren to J. Michael Springmann. We had a real diplomats team of Americans there that were standing up for America and the Constitution and were sick and tired of the corruption and just all of the death and misery and violence that has been spread since 9/11. I was so honored to see all of these men go to Iran and defy the State Department's propaganda that "it's a dangerous country, it's a hateful country, it's a violent country, it's throwing people off rooftops."
All of that was false. It was propaganda. The Iranians are the most calm, mild-mannered, gentle, respectful, wise people on the face of the earth. And I really, really loved my experience there. And to be with you there made it even better because I love how you think. I love what you represent. And you're a paragon of strength and fearlessness that I admire because you started a lot of this and stood up and laid the foundation a decade ago or more.
And I found out much later after I was shanghaied by the government, in my military capacity, that all of this (9/11 and the "war on terror") was a fraud. And it made perfect sense, the 9-11 attacks (were a false flag). So we had been discovering this over the last few years, myself and some other people in the military, and we were becoming more and more convinced.
And to answer the question quickly, what started all of what we're seeing now – was several months ago we started really praying and thinking: 9/11 is the American shoulder that's been put out of joint. It is the greatest wound and act of violence against the American people in the history of the country. It's also the greatest act of violence in the history of civilization as far as I'm concerned. And you know exactly why it's been the most damaging.
Psychological violence.
Yes, psychological violence. It's stolen our rights, stolen our liberties, stolen and destroyed our hope for a peaceful, tranquil life, which is what America is supposed to be about. That's what government is supposed to secure. And it has put us on this tyrant's police state global domination juggernaut in the name of defeating terrorism, which has been all propaganda and largely put out by the Israeli Zionist propaganda machine, and the neocons in Washington, from the George W. Bush administration on.
So we were praying how the real 9/11 story is eventually going to be out and released and the American military are going to discover it. What would be fascinating is if Iran—because they (the real 9/11 perps) been accusing Iran and bringing lawsuits in the past—wouldn't it be nice if Iran stood up and really came to the fight and said, "no, we're not going to back down. We're going to fight you on this."
And that was about four months ago. We (a group of American ex-military and intelligence people) were talking four or five or six months ago. And then when we went to this conference a little over a month ago. We were talking about this indirectly and things were being discussed. I went to Tehran with Michael Malouf and Phil Giraldi. Phil Guaraldi was a CIA counterterrorism guy. Michael Malouf was a Pentagon official.
He worked closely with Wolfowitz, right?
Yeah, yeah, he did.
So he was fairly high up, and he was an important member of that very neocon crew who were the real suspects. And so having him come over to our side is quite a defection from the other side, quite a victory for us.
Yeah, and it shows men when they – there's a saturation point where they wake up. They come out of the darkness. They finally have had enough of the poison. Whatever it may be, they have a transformation. The caterpillar comes out a butterfly, whatever the analogy is, and Michael Maloof had one, and I had one, and Phil had one, and many others did. And when we went down to Tehran to give a press conference about a lot of the material that we're talking about, we were approached by some...well, we were on state TV. We were meeting with diplomatic officials. We were meeting with a lot of interesting people, some of whom probably want to remain anonymous because of the Mossad targeting them.
But we met with some very interesting people including some Iranian intelligence people that had called us up to a hotel room and sat down with us and said: "We have been accused of this 9/11 attack we had nothing to do with. We are we are brainstorming how we might go back into the American courts and fight this, how we might defend ourselves. And what we might say besides that we had nothing to do with it."
So wait a minute. These were Iranian government people? Not the New Horizon conference people like Nader Talebzadeh who was the chair of New Horizon.
Yeah, these were other people. I'll just call them other people. These were Iranian senior level other people. And they didn't want to show their credentials or their ID or anything like that. So we know what kind of other people do that. I've done it myself.
And it was a very quiet conversation. And it was nothing about penetrating or requesting information on the United States at all, but rather this 9/11 issue. What I had said was: We've been talking about this for months. We've been talking about how Iran has been falsely accused of the 9/11 attacks and what it needs to do is go back into the American court. So what you're saying is the same thing we've been talking about for months. And you are absolutely right in believing that you have a right and a duty to defend yourself. And not only that, Americans from every corner that know about 9/11 would ride alongside you and come into court and present their evidence,= present their documents, present their videos, present their scientific analysis from the Pentagon, from the Twin Towers, from Pennsylvania, from Building 7—every aspect, every element from the structural steel to the avionics of plane trajectories and all of the scientific and architects and engineers sort of stuff. These people would come to Iran's side and testify as expert witnesses.
And they were quite blown away to see that and think that. I think they had been given a very negative impression of the United States, and I certainly can understand why. But when they met us and heard us, they said, aren't you afraid of testifying? Aren't you afraid of being killed for testifying?
I've heard that a lot over there, too.
Yeah. And I said, I frankly, Kevin, I said, no, I'm not because I took an oath to my country. I took an oath to defend and support the Constitution as a military officer. And what was done on 9/11 was a violent attack against my country. And I swore an oath to defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And domestic enemies have done this to the United States, not Iran. I know that for a fact. So I cannot stand by and allow a lie and propaganda continue to be used against the American people because it's an act of warfare. It's an act of psychological warfare and information operations.
So I think they were impressed that we were not about this cowboyish America, this we're going to dominate the world attitude. We represented an entirely different frame of mind. So when we said that, we really, I think, gave them confidence that truth was going to break out, and you were going to have an enormous amount of Americans standing with Iran, not for the sake of Iran, not because they liked Iran or they didn't like Iran, but because they loved their country more. They loved the truth more. And they hated the lie of 9/11. And they hated everybody who has contributed to the lie of 9/11, from the media to the Bush administration, Wolfowitz and Pearl and Condoleezza Rice and Rumsfeld and all of these people, Dove Zakheim, the comptroller at the Pentagon, who was my boss at Booz Allen Hamilton, and his son, Roger Zakheim. who was at the Pentagon and then the House Armed Services Committee. Dov Zakhan then became the terrorist financing guy in charge of Booz Allen Hamilton's money operations.
So there are a lot of pieces of the puzzle that we could bring that the Iranians could go to court and file a defensive action, and they could introduce it a variety of ways. They could introduce it as a request to rehear based on newly discovered evidence that there had been fraud perpetrated on the court. And any time the court is told that a case they've heard is fraudulent, that there's been a deception on the court, then they immediately have to reexamine it because it's like saying this witness who claimed to have been murdered has been found alive, and therefore there's no way that you can blame his death on us because he's alive.
They would have to make the legal argument that if they were going to say a fraud was perpetrated on the court, they would have to claim that the lawsuit itself against Iran was fraudulent, meaning that the people bringing that lawsuit knowingly misrepresented things. And that actually might be a little harder than proving that the official story is a lie, which is actually quite easy.
Yeah, and it comes to how to best introduce the lawsuit defense. That's what makes this situation very unique. Iran is not going to a court, filing a lawsuit against somebody. They're not knocking on a door asking to be heard. They are responding to an attack upon them that has been already made. Now, they may not have responded in a timely fashion or according to the U.S. calendar or whatever that may be, but I think that is all appealable. I think that can go right up to the Supreme Court. There's a docket case number, and as long as that case number is used, they can file a petition to the court saying, "we've discovered new evidence and other things that the court needs to hear." And then they can bring in the case that Iran didn't have anything to do with 9/11 and we can prove it. And the story that you're accusing Iran of is absolutely fraudulent. And we're going to call expert witnesses in to prove our point, to prove our defense.
Yeah, I think the newly discovered evidence argument could work in that Iran...would have a case that when they first heard about this—and who knows whether they even got any timely notification of it, and if they didn't, then that in itself would give them grounds for appeal. But assuming that they got some sort of notification ahead of time and decided not to go through with it because they didn't know what they could do effectively, then the newly discovered evidence would be when they learned that this 9/11 truth movement includes so many experts who have all sorts of information that exonerates them and that in fact points at a different culprit. And so they could easily argue that they really didn't learn that until we heard it—until this conference, basically.
That's right. That's one of the tacks that you can take is that this newly discovered evidence, which was the culmination of different experts and their materials, came to them after and late. And they were, you know, searching and researching and trying to acquire this. And now it's just fallen into their lap and people are contacting them saying, "All of this fraud and all of the different aspects of the attack were not true. It didn't happen as they say." So the court's description of the case against Iran, they're going to describe the 9/11 narrative a certain way. So the court's description of the 9/11 narrative is going to be fundamentally fraudulent.
So that's one of the things that can be brought in. And there's a lot of different ways to massage it, a lot of different tricky legal tactics, of course, and legal minds. We had a show with Barbara Honegger the other day, and I kept trying to stress this is—part of me always looks at this like a psychological warfare operation. This is about not necessarily expecting the U.S. courts to do anything noble or good or fair or or honorable or just for Iran. This is also, more importantly, a psychological flare into the sky, an announcement, a trumpeting that says Iran is standing up and calling this attack and the accusation against Iran absolutely false and fraudulent. And they're going to bring in all of the experts from Alan Sabrosky to yourself, Kevin, to Richard Gage, to Jim Fetzer, to Barbara Honegger, to Christopher Bollyn, to numerous other people, very well-documented experts, proofs and studies and research and evidence about every element.
And the Pentagon really is the significant one Barbara was talking about. You can correct me if there's anything I'm missing, but the Pentagon was an important one, and Barbara had raised the issue adamantly because it was the moment when war could be declared because it was an act of war against the Pentagon. And, of course, there was no plane or 757 that crashed into the Pentagon. I drove by the Pentagon the next day and saw just a blue tarp covering the hole. There were no plane parts. There were no skid marks. There were no marks on the grass. There's no way a plane of that size could have possibly hit the Pentagon and landed on the grass.
So there's a lot of this material that I think is going to be coming out, and this is a time to really encourage Iran to stand up and take this into the public courts because they're not only... liberating the American people they're liberating the world. People are afraid of the trauma of what will this do what will this do to our reputation, what will this do to
America. I think it would have nothing but a positive effect, because they're not no other country is looking to wage war on us, Kevin. Every every country is afraid and is defending themselves against us. That means we're going around the world looking for (trouble). We're the ones going around erecting bases and (engaging in) all sorts of militant activity and regime change, destabilization operations from Libya to Syria and elsewhere. We're the ones doing that. And it's harming us greatly. And it all started after 9/11.
There was some of that before 9/11 but it's gotten a lot worse. And now they're not even really pretending to be supporting any real U.S. interest. Now it's almost entirely about Israel's interest. The Cold War against Islam is totally about Israel strategically anyway. But in fact, I think that you're onto something with your suggestion that changing tack here, having the U.S. become an economic leader and a leader by example, resting on the principles that our founding fathers wrote into the Constitution, would actually be a way that we could do well by doing good. I think the United States actually could be a force for good in the world, not a force for evil in the world. And this (9/11 truth) is the kind of psychological shock it probably would take to radically change directions.
Well, I think you're right. I agree with that, because most of the American people think that way. The American people are not into this bloodthirsty world conquest domination activity. That's why they voted for Trump. I think, quite honestly, they were sick and tired of all of this. It got out of control. They were lied to in the beginning. Then people slowly started to learn it over a decade. And remember, people don't have time to watch the Internet and study it and talk with experts. They go to their job, they work eight hours a day, they come home, they play with their kids, they watch TV, they go to bed. And sadly, they watch the mainstream media or Fox News, and they get very distorted versions of this.
So the (truth movement) leadership in America has been researching and studying and slowly putting this puzzle together that shows that 9/11 was completely false. And their resentment, their hostility, their distrust (of their leadership) has been rising proportionally to their knowledge of the discovery of 9/11 being false. And a portion of the American people are waking up and I think pushing us closer to a civil war, a social unrest level...you see the hostility and the delusion and the mania coming out of the government, wildly flailing around looking to continue hostility as if somehow it's a smokescreen. The more wars and chaos and militants exist, the more the establishment, the politicians, are protected.
The American people don't want that and they don't like that. That's why Trump was elected, because he seemed to represent the opposite of that.
He sure sounded like an America first candidate. A lot of people were hoping he'd be the second coming of Charles Lindbergh. Unfortunately, so far, some of the usual suspects still seem to have him somewhat hogtied. But everybody's still speculating about what could happen. Nothing's written in stone. He sure looks hostile to Iran, though. It looks like the anti-Iran people kind of have him and have had him on that issue for a long time.
Well, I'd like to think he could do a North Korea twist and turnabout. He does like to be dramatic. He likes to do these instant flips. Somehow it's entertaining. It's part of his wheel and deal personality.
So he's going to fly into Tehran and announce that 9/11 was a Zionist coup d'etat? Now, that would get him some publicity.
I don't think he'd go that far. I think that would be, you know, a bridge too far. He'd be (?) and something would happen. But, you know, he has to go in that direction, though, Kevin. Let's be clear. He has to go in that direction because it's the Saudi Arabians that seem to be the main problem ideologically in the world when they're pushing a Wahhabist extremist intolerance that is causing chaos. And I know...We're to blame for some of that, but we're also funding and financing and encouraging them.
But they've snookered Trump, totally. They got Trump over there and had him put his hands in the glowing orb alongside al-Sisi and bin Salman and pledge allegiance to their new world order, whatever it is they're doing. Trump's best buddies with the Saudis. And just because he had a problem pushing through a business deal in Qatar, he okayed the Saudis' de facto declaration of war on Qatar and their blockade of Qatar.
Trump with his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the Kosher Nostra princeling—he's tied in with Netanyahu and the criminals over in Israel, too. So he would have to extricate himself from all of these kinds of ties, wouldn't he?
Well, a micro symbolism for what perhaps America needs to do and maybe is doing right now...You just saw last night some small socialist girl, female, in New York with a Spanish name, Cortez, Elena (Alexandria) Cortez something, overthrow a U.S. Democrat congressman in New York.
I love it. I hope these Sandernista types totally kick out the Hillary wing of the Democratic Party.
Look, it's the young people. The young people, I think, are the only hope. Not to say all young people are virtuous or intelligent. You don't get that when you look at them in Antifa. They're actually...knuckle-dragging maniacs in Antifa.
Antifa is a false flag. It's a classic false flag. They claim to be against fascism, but their whole method is organized on the principle of fascism, of utter collectivism, total hatred of some outside scapegoat. And then with these mass rabble rousing tactics and violence in the streets! I mean, this is textbook fascism.
And so they've created a fascist so-called anti-fascist group. It's almost humorous.
Yeah, well, it is. And I agree with your assessment of them 100 percent. And I'd like to see more of the young people come up and overthrow these delusional dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Nancy Pelosi or other types. And the young people don't want that anymore. They're the ones who have grown up with the web, grown up with YouTube, studying this stuff. So they have absorbed more of the material in YouTube, like 9/11 like a lot of these other revelations of truth that the mainstream media calls "conspiracy theories." No, they're truth!
And revelations of truth like about the USS Liberty...Nobody knows about the USS Liberty, Kevin. I never learned about it when I was in school. You have to be on the elite level of information digging to discover that. And that's a very sad thing in American life. Because the more Americans that learn about the USS Liberty...they would be shocked and horrified, and they distance themselves from Israel. Not because they don't like Jews, but because they don't like traitors who stab us in the back.
It's also a key case in understanding where we went wrong in our history, because it's tied in so intimately with the JFK assassination and the rise of Lyndon B. Johnson, the certified psychopath and organized crime Kosher-Nostra-from-Texas kind of guy, who was probably put in office in large part precisely to be there when Israel launched its war of aggression to steal all that territory in 1967. And then they put Johnson in there to do this insane act of treason, trying to murder hundreds of Americans on this unarmed spy ship. And he's on the record saying, "I want that goddamn ship on the bottom." To really understand where we went terminally wrong—it wasn't just 9/11. I think it was JFK. When they got away with murdering a decent president who was about to become a towering statesman and the greatest president of our time, and then replacing him with this psychopath Johnson, who's 100 times worse than Trump, than the biggest Trumpophobe's caricatural idea of Trump.
I think they're not entirely wrong. I'm not a big fan of Trump either.But Johnson makes Trump look like Mother Teresa. So things really went wrong there in the second half of the 1960s. And the USS Liberty case is a really important piece of the puzzle to help the country figure out where it went wrong.
You know, a great guy that you'd love to have on your show) is Jim Kerwin, who's done a lot of incredible artwork on that decade with Johnson, and he lived during that time, too. He's written a lot, and he captures the spirit of what you're describing.
That is the insanity that broke out in the 1960s with the youth generation just going nuts in a good way in certain respects, anti-Vietnam and pro-civil rights, but in bad ways in other respects. I think this was an exaggerated reaction to the sort of unconscious knowledge that JFK, the young guy, the new generation guy who had all these fresh new ideas and who was basically a good person, an idealist deep down inside, had just been shot in the face by hideous psychopathic gangsters representing an older generation.
And that generational murder of the son got through at a subconscious level to the young people. And they suddenly they realized that their fathers were out to get them, sending them over to Vietnam to die and all of that stuff. And so they went berserk.
So I think that that Kennedy killing is the key to the whole zeitgeist. But nobody puts that in the history books because, you know, that analysis is taboo. If I tried to write a mainstream history book with that analysis, it wouldn't get reviewed. It wouldn't get published. So we're living in this world of censorship.
I think you're right. You're describing a sociological meltdown, an emotional meltdown in the 1960s that masqueraded as free love and flowers and drugs. And I think all of that was an expression or a symptom of a deeper psychic pain or trauma that they all suffered when Kennedy died in 1963. I think all of the things that followed in the hippie generation were part of what you're describing. There was a major trauma and a rebellion, and there was justifiable rebellion against Vietnam. And all of the things that came out of that have been manifesting 25 years later as the destruction and the unraveling of America.
And I always come back to marriage and the family because I studied it intimately when I was at the Heritage Foundation. It was part of my PhD studies on all the sociological data relating to sexuality, family, marriage, criminality, society, political theory.
And I was delighted when I was in Iran. The number one question they kept having me answer and talk about ad nauseum in my live interviews, every hour or two, was on the marriage and the family and women and men and the sexual relationships and culture and what was going on in America. And because the Iranian people are very wholesome in their marriages and their families and their children and their sexual mores. They're a family values culture. And American mainstream media has to try to blame people.
Ramin Mazaheri, that press TV guy from Paris, wrote an essay about these things. He said "even if there were no Ayatollahs, our aunts and our mothers, our grandmothers, would be keeping us in line." But, yeah, the picture we're getting here is so distorted. So, anyway, thank you, Scott Bennett. It's always wonderful talking with you. And congratulations on being part of this potentially historical moment over in Mashhad, Iran, where you helped get the ball rolling with the Iranians fighting back and maybe helping out in terms of getting 9/11 truth out and getting our country back.
Amen. Thank you, Kevin. We'll continue to fight the good fight, my friend. It's an honor to be with you.

Jasun Horsley held a meeting Saturday Nov. 23 for his paid Substack subscribers. About it, he writes: “I have two subjects in mind. One is the trauma-based mind as a foreign-entity infestation: how to live with it, how to live without it. The other subject is related, and it is the problem of how to be a natural (Christ-ian) human who can love one’s neighbors, without trying to disown or deny that we have also an animalistic survival instinct that includes a natural, and even necessary, propensity to be violent when circumstances require it.”
According to René Girard‘s Christian perspective, violence is always evil because it is invariably based on scapegoating, and claims that the scapegoat is guilty are inherently mendacious. Islam, in contrast, views some violent acts as legitimate attempts to make truth and justice prevail. And while the goal is always peace, the antithesis of violence, the way to attain that goal is to put the means of coercion in the hands of the just, truthful, and virtuous, and remove them from the hands of unjust, vicious liars. The latter group, according to the Islamic view, may sometimes be justly targeted by force and violence. When that happens, the “victims” are not innocent scapegoats, but criminals fully deserving of their fate.
So who is right? Muslims and Christians agree that Jesus is the one true Messiah and that his return ought to decide the issue. Meanwhile tonight’s discussion between a Christian Girardian and a Muslim Girardian may shed light on some of the issues that we are praying for Jesus to come back and resolve.
