K(evin) Barrett Bilali argues that Andrew Tate, like Donald Trump, is the victim of political prosecution. Has Tate been arrested and held without charges for six months because the authorities don't like his social and political views?

“The Tate brothers are either devils incarnate or the last defenders of manhood, depending on news reports or whichever echo chamber you choose to inhabit.  But the fate of these two black American citizens is of great concern to those who maintain a balanced moral compass and look beyond their personal biases and prejudices.” -K. Barrett Bilali

His new essay “We Are in a War for Our Souls: State Sorcery, Pathocracy, and the Traitors among Us” argues that:

Harrison Koehli, publisher-publicist of ponerology’s founding father Andrzej Łobaczewski, returns to Truth Jihad Radio after fifteen years to psychoanalyze Marxism and wokeness.

What does ponerology, the psychological analysis of political evil, have to tell us about left-wing authoritarianism? Is wokeness related to personality disorders?

Note: This interview helped inspire my essay “Perversity Is Our Strength!”

In “Brave New Reset” Linh Dinh says Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (2006) and Zhang Yingyu’s The Book of Swindles (1617) resonate with today’s civilizational meltdown and ever-escalating war: “Nothing flips over the nicely appointed table of civilization like war. That’s where we’re headed, on multiple fronts. The main reason for this is, again, scarcity. Grabbing your water, oil, food and women, your enemy won’t just snarl, but kill you. In too many places, that savage energy needs an urgent release.”

Linh also mentions getting “Drugged, Robbed But Not Knifed.”

NYC-based activist and False Flag Weekly News commentator Cat McGuire agrees with AJ Smuskiewicz that RFK Jr. is an exciting candidate who is saying amazing things. But she is concerned that if he loses the nomination to Biden, a not-unlikely prospect, he will be required (by virtue of a pledge exacted from all Democratic candidates) to support the party’s nominee. Another concern: If he really wants to win, why isn’t he pulling out all the stops to convince people to register as Democrats so they can support him in the primaries?

Will RFK Jr. wind up playing the sheepdog role that Bernie Sanders has played in the past? That would be the last nail in the coffin of Camelot. Or is there a chance he could still break from the party and run on an independent ticket with Tulsi Gabbard, Rand Paul, or Cynthia McKinney?

Chicago-based writer AJ Smuskiewicz makes his debut on Truth Jihad Radio. The topic: His excellent new appreciation of RFK Jr. “Why I’m for Kennedy.” He notes that even if we give Trump the benefit of the doubt on good intentions, Kennedy is a far more serious threat to the powers-that-shouldn’t-be:

“Depth of understanding is important to have for a president, because that will provide the backbone he needs to prevent himself from getting rolled by the Deep State b******s. Trump lacks the depth and intellectualism of Kennedy. That’s why I have no confidence that he would be able to stand up to the neocon warmongers regarding Ukraine. After all, when he was president, he sent weapons to Ukraine at the urging of the warmongers around him. Trump’s good instincts were not and are not enough. He got rolled then and he would get rolled again. Kennedy’s depth of understanding would allow him to stand strong, fight back, and prevail against the warmongers.”

But does Kennedy have a chance to upset an unpopular Democratic president, like his father would have had he not been stopped by bullets?

“In all honesty, my gut tells me ‘no.’ There is no way that the thoroughly decadent America of 2023-24 will support an RFK today the way that many Americans supported an RFK in 1968…But I don’t care. I am supporting him anyway. My hope for RFK Jr is allowing me to cling onto some small remnant of hope for a nation that I had totally given up on—and for an environmental cause that I had abandoned.”
