I joined the Richie Allen Show last night to talk about #OperationEpsteinFury.

Transcript:

Richie Allen: I need to go back to my history lecturers and demand my money back. Really? In 1953, the UK got involved. My God. Just listen to that again. I can’t believe it. I mean, this guy will be earning £200,000 to £300,000 a year for this. It is staggering.

Interviewer: The history of Iran. Who put the Shah in power? British official: In 1953 was when the United Kingdom got involved and voted out the Prime Minister.

That’s how it is reported. I didn’t realise the United Kingdom had the power to vote out Mohamed Mosaddegh in 1953.

Let’s welcome back to the programme a broadcaster, writer and former lecturer. Our friend Kevin Barrett was in Morocco today. Kevin, welcome back. How are you?

Kevin Barrett: Hey, I’m doing okay, Richie. I’m foregoing some body surfing to be on your program. It’s a windy, wild day here at the Mediterranean coast in Saidia, and I body surfed yesterday, but today here I am for you.

Richie Allen: Thanks, mate. Appreciate it. And it is the holy month of Ramadan as well, so I know you’re busy.

Did you ever hear anything like that from a commercial national broadcaster? The UK got involved and helped to vote out the Iranian Prime Minister? Is that how you remember it, Kevin? When you went to school, when you learned history? Is that what happened in 1953 in Iran? It’s astonishing, isn’t it? This really is it now, isn’t it? We really have arrived here.

Kevin Barrett: It should be astonishing, Richie, but it doesn’t astonish me much because the tapes that you played had so many other outrageous lies. Basically everything that the media says about Iran is at least as big a lie as the claim that the UK voted out the Prime Minister of Iran in 1953.

You know, I’ve been to Iran many, many times. I think nine times, actually, starting in 2013 and most recently, I think, like two or three years ago. The reality there is so completely different from the media portrayals that it’s just completely stunning.

This notion that it’s a dictatorship is a joke. It’s vastly more democratic than any Western nation, just night and day. The freedom to express and hold different opinions is off the charts, vastly beyond anything in the West. There are a lot of different opinions, but basically at least about a third of the population is really hardcore, well-organized supporters of the purest version of the Islamic Revolution. Fifty percent of the population is more or less kind of, hey, we’re patriotic Iranians and we have this or that issue or what have you. Maybe twenty percent are somewhat at least open to the idea that we would like a more westernized country. But of that tiny twenty percent minority, which is mostly rich people in North Tehran and places like that, only a minuscule fraction is in any sense actively involved in joining in with the Americans and the Israelis in their terrorist assaults on the Islamic Republic.

Just wrap your mind around this, Richie. There are basically two groups that the West is trying to regime change into power in Iran: the Pahlavi dictatorship that ninety-five percent of the people in Iran absolutely hate, and the MEK terrorist cult that makes Charlie Manson look like Mother Teresa. Ninety-nine percent of the Iranians in Iran hate the MEK. It’s as if somebody was trying to regime change America and put ISIS into power or something. Americans obviously would roll their eyeballs, and that’s exactly how Iranians react to all of this propaganda that’s being beamed into Iran through CIA media, where they hire these Iranian gusanos from the Shah’s family and other Epstein-class people and try to propagandize the Iranian people. It doesn’t work. They’re drinking their own Kool-Aid, swallowing their own propaganda, believing this nonsense that people in Iran would like to change their form of government, which they absolutely will not. Now that they’ve been attacked like this, that just gave the Islamic Revolution, the most hardcore possible version of it, a new fifty- or hundred-year lease on life.

Richie Allen: Kevin has written about this in a very interesting and well-written, thought-provoking article on his Substack page, kevinbarrett.substack.com.

Kevin and myself are not going to butt heads today. People will be listening to this and you will have heard me criticise a BBC reporter earlier for not challenging her guest. I don’t need to do what Kevin and myself have done many times before. I wouldn’t characterize life in Iran as Kevin has. Now, I’ve not been there. He’s been there. He’s experienced it. You should go there. Do you know, I’d love to someday, and I do mean that. But I’m not going to waste any time getting into the ins and outs about what life is like for people in Iran, secular people or non-religious people, because for me that’s a discussion for another day.

Kevin Barrett: It’s fine. I hang out with secular people in Tehran. My friend’s family is secular Armenian Christians in Tehran and they strongly support the current government, as do almost all of the secular people and the Christians and the Jews in Iran, who are free to practice their religions.

Richie Allen: You know what I mean. We’re not getting into it because I want to talk about the actions of the Israeli regime. We’re on the same page here, one hundred percent on the same page. Iran is a sovereign nation. If the people of Iran determine for themselves they want to change the way the country is run, it is up to the people of Iran to do that without any need or justification for outside interference. What has happened over the weekend in Iran is a crime. It’s an outrageous crime.

I’m just making the point that for listeners who are new to this, there are things that go on in Iran that I really don’t like. But then there are things that go on in this country that I equally don’t like. We’ll do that another day, Kevin. We’ve done it before; there’s no need to do it today.

What I’m interested in is your thoughts, your learned and educated thoughts, on what this means, what has happened. As we speak, I believe that Tehran is being carpet bombed by Israeli and US jets, not being reported on the BBC or on CNN, but being reported by people who are managing to get pictures out of what looks to be a terrifying bombing campaign going on at the moment.

You write in your excellently written piece on Substack that you believe this could be, I’m going to paraphrase now, a Waterloo for the Trump slash Netanyahu regimes. Why do you believe that?

Well, I think it’s more than that, Richie. I think it’s likely to result in the end of Western civilization as the dominant civilization on Earth. At the end of five hundred years of Western dominance, we’re going to see a complete disaster.

There are all sorts of ways of coming at that argument. You can talk about the spiritual and psychological level. The Iranian people are not afraid to die. They embrace martyrdom. The supreme leader of Iran was a really beautiful human being. I didn’t know him personally, but I know people who did. He was the kindest, gentlest, most selfless, loving kind of person you could ever imagine. Extremely erudite as well, the equivalent of a PhD plus. He stayed home knowing what was likely to happen. He hasn’t been hiding at all. The leaders of the Epstein class who rule the West scurry like cockroaches at night from place to place, afraid of the light being turned on because all they have is their miserable lives.

In Iran, their particular take on Islam, which is really not that far from mainstream Islam, puts an extra accent on martyrdom and the willingness to do the right thing even if you’re martyred, like Imam Hussein was at Karbala. Iran cannot lose. They cannot lose this war because they can accept any level of punishment. They will not just accept it but embrace it because it’s the best thing that could possibly happen to them. When you’re fighting people like that, you’d better have a plan.

Iran has stockpiled many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands actually, of short-range missiles that can take out everything anywhere near the Persian Gulf. They will just keep firing them until everything’s done. They already hit Ras Tanura, the big Saudi oil port. (Note: Turns out it was an Israeli false flag! -KB) They can bring the entire global economy to a screeching halt with one hand tied behind their back.

No matter what the Americans do, and they are already losing their bases, evacuating and moving out to safe distance, they’re going to have all kinds of military problems. Both on the spiritual level and the strategic or military level, this is a total losing cause. The Americans are going to run out of ammunition somewhere between within one week and maybe three weeks. If they keep pounding Iran, all oil infrastructure will be finished off. There will be no more Persian Gulf oil for years. Guess where the world economy is going to go? A thousand times worse than the Great Depression.

It’s funny you said that. Darshini David, who’s the deputy economic editor for the BBC, pretty much said what you said. She said this could have dire economic consequences in the short, medium and long term for the West. People are already incredibly cash-strapped and worried since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which was blamed on the economic problems that people are experiencing.

Supporters of Donald Trump will say that whatever might be in files about him is simply that: accusations contained within files. It doesn’t equate to proof that he committed any crimes. I don’t know; I wasn’t there. I don’t like Trump. I’ve used the term pedophile when speaking about Trump because I know that he deliberately walked in on girls who were under the age of eighteen when they were dressing themselves for beauty pageants. I suspect that Donald Trump has a lot to answer for. His supporters will say he hasn’t been charged, let alone convicted of anything.

Kevin Barrett is our guest. You’ve got to check out his Substack, kevinbarrett.substack.com. He’s an academic researcher, author and broadcaster. We’re talking about the events of the weekend and of today.

I’m more pessimistic than you. I agree the economic shock from this is going to be horrendous. The petrol pumps and the food prices are already increasing, if I believe what I see on social media today. But when it comes to some Iranian fight back or some regional fight back against the tyrants of Israel or the US, I don’t know, Kevin. I’m being told today by people I believe that Tehran is being carpet bombed and that means lots of Iranian civilians being killed. I talked earlier about the bombing of the school on Saturday where maybe two hundred girls and women who were in school were slaughtered.

I think the forces behind Netanyahu and Trump will just do whatever they want in the region because they have the military might and unlimited resources. Am I wrong in saying Iran finds itself without any allies in the region?

No, Iran has the support of the vast majority of the people of the region. You’ve probably seen videos of American bases being hit in places like Kuwait and Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. The people are cheering for the Iranian missiles hitting what are supposedly their own countries. Deep down inside, nobody in this region, not even here in Morocco where we’re pretty chill with Westerners, wants to be occupied by the United States.

The longer this goes on, the faster those regimes are going to topple because their people are furious at their leadership for getting them into this. There is fury at the United States and Israel among both the people and the leadership in the Gulf region and indeed here in Morocco.

Going to read a few quick comments. These are genuine comments coming in through my app. This is Monday’s Richie Allen Show.

Patricia says, “Richie, I talked to a Trump-deranged person in the US. They are convinced that he did a good thing. They are convinced in America that he was right and that the world is happy about it.”

Isabel asks, “What are Kevin’s thoughts on the claims here that Iran killed more than thirty thousand of its own people recently?”

Richard says his friend worked in Iran. He was an engineer and he hated it. He left seventeen years ago, said he hated the government even though he made a good living.

Ronald says, “Richie, the Ayatollah was in charge of a regime that threw gay men off tall buildings. What does Kevin think about this?”

There are lots of these questions.

I mean, it’s insane. You know, these lies are just off the charts.

But how do you know they’re lies, Kev? How do you know they’re lies?

Google it. I mean, even like, you know, Google, which is owned by, what, Sergei Brin, you know, Jewish Zionist propagandists. Just Google it. They don’t throw people off buildings in Iran. This is just insane b******t lies.

Likewise, these claims that six million Iranians were killed by the Ayatollah’s government in gas chambers and all this nonsense. Actually, three thousand people were killed. The vast majority of those people killed were killed by Western-backed terrorists. And the others were terrorists who were killed by the forces of law and order fighting back.

That six million number is interesting, isn’t it? Where did they get that from?

Yeah, look…This is all Jewish mythology. The mainstream media in the West is Jewish mythology. It’s psychotic propaganda, tribal propaganda.

Can I just say, I don’t believe that people were thrown off of buildings by clerics in Iran. I know that Islamic State, which was openly, very openly, and even admitted by Mossad, this Islamic State... Wahhabist head shoppers, they did things where they threw people off buildings. But that certainly wouldn’t be the Islamic approach to, as far as I understand it, to homosexuality.

I know that the Ayatollah Khomeini, he had a lot of negative things to say about homosexuality. But there’s no doubt, in my mind, they weren’t throwing people off of buildings for it.

Kevin, there was definitely a crackdown on the protests. And even if I don’t agree with it, I can understand it, right? Because I understand why if you live in a country and you believe that another country, an enemy country, is sending people in to light fires in terms of, I mean, metaphorically, light fires to start revolutions, I understand why you’d want to crack down on it.

What for you would be a reasonable figure? How many Iranians do you think did die during the protests? What’s a fair number?

Like I said, about 3,000 died. And of those, well over 2,000 were actually killed by the terrorists, the anti-Iranian government terrorists of the West.

And what happened was these were normal protests. Iran normally has protests almost every day. It’s a very free society, much more free than any Western society. People are out protesting constantly about this, that, or the other.

And there were these economic protests in the bazaar that got started because the Iranian currency came under sustained, concerted attack by the usual Jewish mob, George Soros and his friends, in preparation for this war and in order to produce the very protests.

Then there were these protests, which were real protests, and they were tolerated as protests always are in Iran. And on the third day of protests, Western-backed terrorists, people that the Israelis have bragged about having sent weapons to, started shooting police officers. And there were people on, you know, the usual snipers on the buildings shooting both the crowds and the police officers.

And so these Western terrorists started slaughtering people. At this point, the government said no, no more protests because we just had hundreds of terrorists just killed hundreds of people, including hundreds of unarmed police officers.

And so at that point, the rioters continued to go out and destroy things. They burned, I think, something like 400 or 500 mosques, which is a great way to make yourself popular among the big majority of Iranians, right? But they burned all these mosques.

And at that point, once the people in the streets were just these armed thugs being paid by the Americans and the Israelis, at that point, the Iranian forces of order went out to arrest them and in doing so killed some of them.

So basically what we have is about 2,000 people killed by the Western-backed terrorists and perhaps 1,000 Western-backed terrorists killed by Iranian forces of order and maybe some collateral damage, maybe a few people that got caught in crossfire.

That’s how you see it.

That’s how I know it.

That’s how you see it.

I get this straight from the horse’s mouth. I’m getting it from people on the ground.

Yeah, but you’re too intelligent, Kevin. You’re speaking to intelligent listeners. You might very well be right. But right across the internet, right across thousands of podcasts and thousands of Substack blogs, there are people who are writing and saying different and they’re saying they have, you know, people on the ground as well.

They’re liars.

Okay.

Either that or grossly misinformed.

All right. Okay.

I want to ask you this. I believe in my heart that the great majority of people are like us. They work for a living. They have to go out and work for a living. They’re in relationships. They are juggling one or two jobs. They’re limping to the end of the month, every month, to pay their bills.

Maybe they’ve got a couple of... Maybe they’ve got a couple of months’ worth of rent in the bank. Maybe they don’t. These are the things we’re consumed by, most of us. Most of us in the world, I believe, just don’t pay an awful lot of attention to what’s going on at state level or going on geopolitically.

How is it that we’ve ended up, all of us? And I said this to you years ago on this show, and it proved controversial at the time. I said that I no longer blame the tyrannical agents, sorry, the agents of tyranny, whether it be Boris Johnson, whether it be Starmer, Trump, Obama, the other idiot, Bush, or leaders in Saudi Arabia or in China or wherever.

I blame people, Kevin. I sympathise with people and yet I blame people. There isn’t a person in the UK like me who has any problem or any quarrel with Iran or with Iraq or with New Zealand or Outer Mongolia, and yet we have this year in, year out, decade in, decade out. We have people authorising the use of the most disgusting weapons ever devised, right now, as we speak, being dropped on civilian populations in Iran.

How have we ended up like this? And when do we start pointing the finger at our neighbours, at the people we share our lives with, rather than screaming about Netanyahu and Trump and the Ayatollah and everybody else?

Ultimately, it comes down to people, Kevin, isn’t that right? Only people can stop this.

Yeah, I agree, Richie. And, you know, that actually leads you to sort of you have to go back and think about these statements attributed to Osama bin Laden prior to 9/11.

And the reason that they were able to frame him for the Israeli attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon was that Osama bin Laden had said something like it’s good, kill the Americans wherever you find them. And that could be interpreted to mean sort of pretty much any Americans, right? So it sounded like he was approving of attacks on ordinary civilians, which, of course, he actually wasn’t.

After 9/11, he did several interviews denying any relationship to 9/11, deploring it, and saying that it was totally un-Islamic to kill all those civilians.

But with his loose lips prior to 9/11, he had made that statement that, you know, kill the Americans wherever you find them.

And that kind of thinking, you know, that, hey, these people are guilty just because they’re part of this group that is doing, you know, the group itself is doing bad things, I think is—I kind of understand it when one is emotionally upset, right?

Like when you see this grotesque injustice of this genocide of Gaza, for example, and you think, well, the people who are enabling this, starting with the world Jewish community, really maybe those synagogue bombers are heroes, right?

But that’s wrong. That’s actually, you know, that is an emotional reaction. It’s totally understandable.

But, you know, the Jews themselves have turned this into dogma that, you know, slaughter the babies, slaughter the babies so they can’t grow up and have more babies. This is what we do in war. You can watch interviews with various tribal Jews saying this.

Did you see that young woman? Did you see that young woman? There was a young woman interviewed by an American news team in Tel Aviv, a very pretty young Jewish woman. And you saw that.

I think I just saw that today.

And it’s not artificial intelligence. It’s a genuine clip. And she says exactly as Kevin described.

She says, and you see, I’m going to sound like a virtue signaller. I really am, and I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not a nice guy at all. I’m a decent guy, but I’m not one of them virtue signallers. I almost felt sorry for her, Kevin.

What sort of programming do you have to be subjected to that you think it’s appropriate to kill the children of Gaza so that they don’t grow up to have their own babies?

You’re right. Simple answer: The kind of programming you have to be subjected to is circumcision a week after birth.

The circumcision of Jewish children a week after birth destroys their attachment. And John Bowlby wrote a great book and did a lot of studies about attachment between children and their mothers, their caregivers, during the earliest part of life.

And I think this traumatising these babies at one week by brutally slicing off the most sensitive part of their anatomy leaves them with a post-traumatic stress disorder that manifests throughout the rest of their life. They’re programmed to believe that, hey, there’s this dark figure who wants to do horrific things to you. They want to throw you in gas chambers. They want to drive you into the sea, etc.

And they end up with this unconscious image of an evil Goy, the evil non-Jew, who wants to do bad things to them. And they become super paranoid.

But what they don’t realise is that circumcision was an inside job. It was the rabbi that did it to you, buddy.

And the women, they feel they’re racked with guilt because they’ve given their children over to a torturer. And they spend the rest of their lives racked with guilt, and they end up with Jewish mother syndrome overcompensating for this.

And that woman who hates babies and the total hatred of mothers and babies throughout the state of Israel and in Jewish culture in general, where they hate the babies of the goyim, they want to kill them.

IDF wears T-shirts with targets on the belly of pregnant women saying one shot, two kills. These are popular items in the IDF.

There are endless quotes from people all the way up to the highest levels of the Israeli government, basically saying that it’s good to kill the children of our enemies. It’s good to kill the babies. It’s good to kill the women. It’s good to kill the pregnant mothers.

And this is all based in that seventh or whatever it is day, that week after birth circumcision.

If we want to solve this problem, what we need to do is absolutely ban circumcision before, say, the age of five worldwide and enforce that. And then the Jewish tribe as we know it, which is an evil tribe, will essentially disappear. And those nice individuals, nice Jewish individuals will remain.

I’m not going to get into the Jewish evil tribe thing. We’ll do that another day. But I want to say this to you because I don’t agree with that. But I will say this to you.

Let me finish now and you’ll get the final word. I know you’ve got to go. You’ll be breaking fast shortly.

Kevin Barrett, old friend, valued friend of the programmes. Go to kevinbarrett.substack.com, trucejihad.com.

Kevin is a Muslim. He lives with his wife in Morocco, the lovely Rabia. We’re talking about Iran and the future.

Look, I’m going to summarise where I am very quickly. Excuse me. And I’ve not been influenced by anybody. I’ve come to this kind of conclusion by myself over the years.

I believe that identity politics, I think, has gotten us where we are today. And I think that even the brightest people in the world can be afflicted by it. I’ve been afflicted by it, I think, in my life.

I know you’re not going to agree with this, but I know you’re going to let me finish and you will get the final word on it.

I have now come to believe that pretty much everything that happens is happening, the traumatic stuff that happens, it’s been happening for decades and centuries, is more to do with kind of corralling and changing and programming humanity to accept what some people call a great reset, you know, a great technocratic change, a movement towards living an incredibly controlled life, where peoples all over the world, regardless of what they look like, regardless of what they believe, will be subjected to, will be imprisoned in a new kind of a digital world, right?

And I’ve not been unconvinced of that. I’ve not been taken away from believing that. Rather, I’ve kind of doubled down on it in light of what’s happened in the last five, six years, whether it be the COVID scam, the war in Ukraine, the genocide in Gaza, what’s happening now, because the result of all of these crises, we call them perma-crises, have been a kind of a kind of a kind of a raping of or a robbing of more and more and more and more of our individual freedoms.

And it’s a controversial take and most people listening, I think, won’t agree with it. But I believe that all of these players, whether it be the, as they’re called, the Mullahs, whether it be the Ayatollahs, whether it be the leaders of Saudi Arabia, of Egypt, the Western leaders in Britain and America and the leaders in the Far East, all of these guys are somehow contributing to this kind of endgame and everything that happens suits or makes it more possible, makes it more likely that humanity is going to be enslaved, entrapped in this technocratic kind of a dystopia.

Final word to you on that. That’s how I see it. Others would say it’s demonic or there’s some sort of supernatural element going on here. I’m not so sure about that, but I believe that everything that is happening at the moment works towards or suits or helps to further that goal of completely enslaving us in some digital, awful, dystopian kind of reality.

I’m going to give you the final word and thanks for coming on.

Well, thanks, Richie. You know, you might be onto something there. It certainly looks that way. And whether there is some kind of plan like you’re suggesting or whether it’s just the inevitable outcome of a world of competing nation states, competing corporations, competing tribes, competing interest groups, and to win the competition, you need a stronger technocratic apparatus than the other guy, and then once you win you take him over and you subject him to your technocratic apparatus, this is all going to lead to one giant—ultimately one side wins and imposes its technocratic apparatus on the planet. It might be that too. I don’t know whether it’s a plan or whether it’s just kind of the natural outgrowth of so-called technological progress and competition.

But I’m going to one-up you here. My conspiratorial version of this, and I don’t know for sure that it’s true, but I have an inkling, is that this technocratic plan to enslave humanity is being run by demonic forces that want to keep us basically stupid, that is, they’re forces of the shaitan, as we say in Islam, whose job is to be basically our antagonist and to lead us into temptation and to try to basically stop our spiritual development.

And I think that that’s actually the key, is the spiritual development. That is what we’re here for, is spiritual development, not just material gain, not just pleasure.

And, you know, we’re not here to live for, you know, four score years and then, you know, retire, die, what have you. We’re here because we are spiritual beings. We’re consciousness trapped in physical bodies. And the physical space-time dimension is actually an illusion. That all there is is consciousness. The idealists are right, the materialists are wrong, existence is just consciousness.

And so these forces that are trying to enslave us don’t want us to know that. And they want to keep us believing in this physical space-time reality that we’re trapped in.

And so I think that’s what’s really going on. It’s sort of a test. Can we rise spiritually to the point of becoming aware of this and breaking free of this control apparatus, which is being run by these entities that don’t have any souls, that are stuck in this material space-time continuum and want to keep us stuck here with them and ultimately drag us down to hell?

And for more on this, I would recommend both your favorite traditional religion, in my case a Sufi spin on Islam, and/or look into the science of parapsychology. I recently interviewed Dean Radin. People like, like, like Dean are well aware that the world is just consciousness. And that’s why there’s so much ESP phenomena going on. And we’ve all been brainwashed not to notice it, not to believe in it precisely because this control apparatus doesn’t want us to break free.

My God. We’ll pick that up another time. It sounds a bit like some of the books I’ve read written by people like David Icke over the years. I’m very interested in it.

Kevin, thanks, mate. Look, whatever else happens, I genuinely, in my heart of hearts, hope the bombing stops sooner rather than later. It’s evil that’s unimaginable. That’s all it is.

Thanks for coming back today. Appreciate you always.

Thanks, Richie. Appreciate your great work too.

State Department whistleblower Dr. J. Michael Springmann joins FFWN to break down the week’s news.

Transcript:

Kevin Barrett: Welcome to False Flag Weekly News, the weekly news show that plows ahead with more evil Epstein–Iran news. That’s our big theme this week, and lots of other interesting—and worse than interesting—stuff. I’m Kevin Barrett with Dr. J. Michael Springman. How’s it going, J. Mike?

J. Michael Springmann: Oh, I’m quite happy to be here. The snow has finally melted and they’re predicting five more inches starting on Sunday, so we shall see.

Okay, I will think of you while I’m running on the beach and frolicking in the Mediterranean. It’s a little chilly for Morocco here, but chilly for Morocco is nice and balmy for America. Well, here’s the fleet steaming towards Iran, flying their Epstein flags, I guess. That’s a nice touch, Trump. So that’s our image of the week.

So here we are: war on Iran. Well, hopefully we’re not quite at war with Iran yet, but it’s looking pretty touch and go at this point. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz a couple of days ago for drills. They ran drills with Russia. I was on Press TV talking about those drills. Meanwhile, there may be a diplomatic way out. Mike, could Iran send enriched uranium to Russia? Could they figure out a deal?

The nuclear issue is not even an issue. Iran doesn’t even really want to build nuclear weapons. They’re happy to let the inspectors inspect. So it comes down to whether Trump is controlled by the Israelis and is forcing these non-negotiable, totally non-starter offers on the Iranians—like “give up all of your missiles, basically have no more military defense, and break all your ties with your regional allies.” We all know that countries are not allowed to have allies! Of course, the Iranians are rolling their eyeballs at that stuff. What do you think, Mike? Are we going to get a deal or not?

No, not at all. The Wall Street Journal’s headline was denied this morning by Al-Mayadeen English. Quoting Iranian government sources, they said no, we’re not going to ship our refined uranium to Russia. We’re going to keep it here in the bomb-proof bunkers that TrumpleStiltskin and his magnificent B-2 bombers suddenly couldn’t do anything with. All they did was rearrange some rocks on top of the entrances and maybe bomb whatever was above ground.

I don’t think they’re going to ship uranium out of the country this time. They might have done this a couple of years ago if Trump, to use Wayne Madsen’s word, had a thought in his head, or if his controllers or advisors had three brain cells to rub together. But they pushed the Iranians to the point where they’re going to be cooperative on nothing—particularly on things they believe go to their signature on the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which the Israelis flatly refused to sign. The Saudis, with their four to seven nuclear bombs presumably bought from Pakistan, did in fact sign. So it’s going to be an interesting situation when TrumpleStiltskin and his idiots want to cross the Iranian red lines, which they’ve been making very clear for the last several years.

As our theme image of this week suggests, it seems like the Epstein affair spinning out of control may have something to do with Trump’s willingness to risk World War III as a diversion. We’ll get more into those details. Here’s what Trump was saying less than a year ago, last summer. This was put out by the White House: “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated, and suggestions otherwise are fake news.” Why do we have to go back and obliterate them again?

Well, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and he likes to make these outrageous statements in the vain hope that more than three people will believe him.

He’s getting bored of peace, I think. Here he is at the board of peace meeting a couple of nights ago, in a phase of the Gaza peace plan, ensuring a lasting peace. But falling asleep in his own board of peace meeting does make you want to misspell the word “board.”

The Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, is warning that the U.S. warships are basically sitting ducks. They’ve got missiles that can break through any missile defenses, as they showed when they busted through the Iron Dome last June. These aircraft carriers are really kind of asking for trouble, aren’t they, Mike?

They sure are. They’re sitting ducks. They’re fat targets. They have to keep a steady course when launching and recovering aircraft, which of course will never reach any significant point in Iran. They have to refuel and refuel and refuel because carrier aircraft have short legs and have to be heavied up because of their essentially controlled crashes and folding wings. If you refuel, you’re flying slow and steady and making a great target for anti-aircraft weapons, whether artillery or missiles. Unless he can make his ships amphibious and walk all the way to Tehran, he’s not going to get very far.

Most of the smarter military people have been saying for decades that a war with Iran is a guaranteed loser. That’s what you wrote in “Trumpelstiltskin’s Toy Navy.” Summarize your key points.

Basically, aircraft carriers and warships striking Iran have to come close inshore, where they are absolute targets for anti-ship missiles. Those missiles are pretty much scattered all over the country, but I would imagine there’s a concentration along the southern shores of Iran in the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Gulf, and the Sea of Oman. They have good range—up to 2,000 miles for some of them, especially the Mach 15 hypersonic missile. They can carry a 4,000-pound warhead.

The ships, as I noted earlier, are not amphibious. If they get too close to launch aircraft, they’re marvelous targets. Ansar Allah proved that in the Red Sea over the last few years by flooding anti-aircraft defenses with cheap, low-cost, throwaway drones and missiles. They exhausted the anti-ship missile batteries and had to return to port to reload. Finally, Trump got to the point where he realized they couldn’t overcome this and withdrew his Navy.

That’s going to happen if he dares to attack with his huge armada of four ships. Granted, the three Arleigh Burke–class destroyers displace about 8,000 tons, about that of a pre-war heavy cruiser. But he’s got a limited number of missiles, mostly Tomahawks to hit non-existent nuclear weapons facilities. So Trump is essentially going to send a lot of iron, and a lot of sailors and Marines, to the bottom of the ocean. And then what does he do? I don’t know how they’re going to take that loss very well. He’ll have to explain why he attacked Iran and got nothing. Or if he withdraws and gives up, he’ll have to explain why he wasted billions sending ships, aircraft, and refueling tankers to West Asia at fantastic cost.

It does seem like a fool’s errand from an American perspective. The pressure to do this is coming from Israel, and the speculation is that Israeli assets basically own Trump because they’ve got a lot on him.

There was more news along that line this week. We learned that the DOJ just scrubbed records of interviews with Trump accusers from the Epstein files, and this made it to The New Republic. It appears these accusations relate to that Katie case. You can watch Katie talking about Trump assaulting her when she was 14. Apparently there were witnesses supporting her testimony, and she was believed to be a credible witness by the FBI.

All of that then just got scrubbed from the Epstein files that were released. Half a million files or so just disappeared overnight—but they had already been downloaded by researchers. The whole situation is a total fiasco, almost as big as the one brewing in the Persian Gulf.

But Attorney General Pam Bondi wants us to sing along with her: “It’s the Dow! That’s what we should be talking about!”

The Department of Justice and Kash Patel are going to be working overtime to scrub these files. They’ve released three million unclassified documents, and from what I understand, there are three million more classified documents. If they’re trying to scrub anything incriminating to the current leadership, that’s going to be a big task—even with AI helping.

Here’s Ted Lieu, the representative from California, saying Republicans focus on Bill and Hillary Clinton to distract from the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands of times. Lieu cited disturbing allegations that Donald Trump raped children and threatened to kill children and encouraged the press to look at them. He also criticized Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for getting the law wrong.

This recalls the E. Jean Carroll case. Trump testified about her statements in an interview with Anderson Cooper. That was pretty incredible testimony to give. The case was bad, but Trump made it worse for himself by basically confessing to having raped Carroll and accusing her of “liking it.”

Since the first time Trump and Melania had sex was reportedly on Epstein’s jet—they were introduced through those modeling circles—we really do have a sleazebag government, don’t we, Mike?

Oh, it’s marvelous. The media goes on and on about the Epstein files and who’s involved and who’s not, and it just goes round and round and nothing gets done. I tell people nothing will get done because too many people are in there—besides Trump and his cronies, you’ve got Ehud Barak, the Clintons, probably half the present and past governments for the last ten years. Nobody wants the truth out, and nobody wants to get prosecuted because the jails would be bulging.

If Trump can’t distract us by starting World War III in Iran so he doesn’t end up facing consequences for these allegations, he’s now talking about releasing the UFO files and proving we are controlled by extraterrestrial life or in contact with it. This week Obama said the aliens are real, then tried to walk it back after Trump threatened him over supposedly releasing classified information. On Thursday, Trump ordered the Pentagon to release the UFO files.

He’s going to have a great danger there. If he releases those files, he’s going to prove the aliens have landed and taken over the federal government.

It does seem like another huge distraction from Epstein.

Finally, the Mossad–Epstein ties to 9/11 were in the news. It turns out Howard Lutnick was much closer to Epstein than we realized. Lutnick, head of Cantor Fitzgerald, lost all 658 employees in the Trade Center on 9/11. Like Larry Silverstein, he had an unusual reason for not being there that morning. He said that for the first and only time in his life, his wife insisted he take their child to kindergarten. Unlike his employees, he didn’t get blown up.

His wife, Edie Lutnick, a lawyer on the 101st floor, also wasn’t there. She had a breakfast appointment with a client who canceled at the last minute, so she went back to bed. So he took the kid to kindergarten, she went back to bed, and 658 employees died. What are the odds?

Here’s Trump telling the story:

Donald Trump: Howard built one of the great companies, Cantor Fitzgerald. It was completely wiped out, other than a few people left in Europe. And he rebuilt the company into a bigger, better company.

Cantor Fitzgerald is absolutely one of the top companies on Wall Street, stocks, bonds, trading. And he took that, I mean, he literally watched the plane go into the building, into the World Trade Center.

Amazing story. That alone is amazing story. He was delayed because his wife insisted that he finally, after years, take his child to school. So he took his child to school that one day because normally he would have been in the building at six o’clock in the morning. That’s that business, right? So you owe your wife a lot and your child a lot, right?

But his wife insisted that he take his child to school. For five years, he didn’t do it. He was horrible. What kind of a father was he? Okay, I’ll do it. And he was therefore driving down at 8:43, whatever the time was, down the West Side Highway, and he saw the plane go into the side of the building. He said, wow.

So he looked guilty to me, did you see Luttnik laughing nervously?

Yeah. It’s pretty funny, pretty funny. The horse pucky is getting pretty deep.

And here was a tweet from Omar saying, “I doubt he even went to the school. He’s probably watching the towers falling with his neighbor.” And of course, he lives right next door to Epstein. Those are their two houses, 9 East 71st Street and 11 East 71st Street.

And so, yeah, we’re getting a sense now of the class, the people that were involved in 9/11 in various ways. After this guy’s company was wiped out, do you think he went on food stamps?

Oh, undoubtedly, undoubtedly, yeah.

He had to take all that charity that he was raising for the families of the people that he knew were going to die, and he didn’t do anything to stop that.

So more 9-11 and Epstein news this week. This is perhaps even bigger news. That is, Ghislaine Maxwell was invited onto the Shadow 9/11 Commission, the top secret Jewish-Zionist Shadow 9-11 Commission, and she was invited by a certain Edward J. Epstein.

Edward J. Epstein, Mike, I don’t know if you got into the JFK research back in the day like I did, but he’s like blatantly Mossad. Edward J. Epstein posed as a JFK researcher, but he did things like setting up George de Mohrenschildt for assassination. George de Mohrenschildt was Lee Harvey Oswald’s CIA handler.

Yeah, I read about him.

Prior to the killing, George de Mohrenschildthad been complaining—he’d been terrified, and he was complaining to his friend, George H.W. Bush, about being persecuted by “the Jews,” right? He begged then, ex-CIA director or whatever, Bush, or future CIA director Bush or whatever he was then, to “please get the Jews off my case. The Jews keep harassing me.” And then he ends up interviewing with Epstein, Edward J. Epstein, that is, no relation to Jeffrey, we think. And he gets set up for assassination.

Edward J. Epstein was a very close associate of the number one JFK assassination suspect, James Jesus Angleton. Everything Epstein did relating to the JFK case was run through Angleton and through, of course, the Israeli Mossad. So this guy who was basically on the Jewish-Zionist shadow JFK commission, designed to keep a lid on the JFK case—and of course, Israel killed Kennedy. Likewise, Israel did 9/11.

And Edward J. Epstein, the same guy who was basically key to the shadow JFK commission on behalf of Jewish-Zionists that killed Kennedy, he’s the guy who’s running the shadow 9/11 commission that nobody ever heard of until this declassified email inviting Maxwell, of all people, another Israeli spy, to join. I mean, this is all looking pretty freaking incriminating, wouldn’t you say?

No, no, not at all. These are poor innocent zebrews who are being wickedly persecuted by the anti-Semitic people that infest the entire world.

Indeed, we’ve got to stop those anti-Semites from talking about these things.

And then here’s Richard Gage’s report on this, and he goes into the Shadow 9/11 Commission story. And of course, nobody really knows what that is, but what would that mean? Well, there was the public 9/11 Commission in 2003. The Shadow Commission, of course, would be the perpetrators keeping an eye on making sure, trying to keep a lid on what’s going to come out in the actual 9/11 Commission.

So anyway, Richard Gage goes into that and a few other interesting 9/11 tidbits from the Epstein emails, including Senator Bob Kerry and Epstein and some other things. So that’s all.

Do you think Ghislaine didn’t join the shadow commission because she wanted to devote all her free time to the pedophilia ring she was running?

Yeah, she was probably too busy blackmailing the Clintons and Trump and everybody else at the time.

But yeah, so we could kind of see who is this organized crime ring that’s doing this stuff. And the cockroaches are starting to scurry because the light’s being turned on a little bit, it seems like. This was the actual email of Ed Epstein:

And I knew that he was bad news. I read his book on Oswald back in the 70s when it came out. It was so obvious. These people don’t even hide it very well. It’s so obvious he was working with Angleton. Now at the time I didn’t realize that Angleton was a Mossad guy. I thought he was CIA. I was among all those people that blamed the CIA, which is pretty much what they wanted you to do because that means the CIA and the American government has to cover it up. If you don’t have a way to blackmail the American side, then of course they might conceivably come after the real authors of the assassination, namely the Israelis.

So we also found out this week that Israeli officials managed surveillance at the Epstein residence that Ehud Barak used to spend a lot of time at. So all of that surveillance of all of these people that’s getting blackmailed is Israeli equipment. Does that shock you, Mike?

No, because they did a very good job of spying on Washington, putting all of these cell phone intercepts around the government buildings downtown. And of course, they had this Pegasus program that they got into journalists’ cell phones and other people’s. So they work hand in glove with the CIA to make sure that they can control who gets into these residences and who’s in there and who’s in charge and what they’re doing and so forth.

So it comes down to the old saw about, I believe the CIA is lying to me to protect me.

I mean, somebody like Epstein, of course, is going to be making inroads in the CIA and dishing them some stuff. But I mean, it’s clear that all of these ethnically Jewish people in this billionaire crime ring are primarily loyal to their own tribe, not to any American government institutions.

So Epstein associates, how about Andrew, formerly known as Prince, has been arrested and they just released him yesterday, but he got to spend a night or two in the cell. People are saying this could threaten the future of the British monarchy. So they’re arresting people over the Epstein scandal in the UK, like important people, really important people, a guy who almost could have been king or whatever. That’s pretty important. Why aren’t we arresting people in the US, Mike?

No, because if we did that, we’d have to arrest half the people in the government and finance and the captains of industry and everybody else who flew on the Lolita jet. There’s far too many to prosecute. I don’t think they have enough prosecutors to prosecute them.

Again, break out the woodchippers. And this revelation, all these revelations about Peter Mandelson, who is a key guy who basically created the so-called New Labour Party, which is basically a Zionist billionaire oligarch-owned shell of the former self of what used to be the UK Labour Party. And Peter Mandelson is another British casualty.

Maybe he’ll get arrested, too. Let’s hope and pray.

Yeah. And he’s contributing to the downfall of Starmer, one of these many corrupt non-entities like Tony Blair, who were manufactured by these Jewish Zionist billionaires loyal to Israel with no loyalty whatsoever to the UK, just like the same people in the U.S. have no loyalty to the U.S., but they took over Britain and installed their whole new ruling apparatus through the so-called New Labour Party.

And then when Jeremy Corbyn tried to be like the real Labour Party and not be owned by Israel, they slammed him and slimed him and torpedoed him and took him down. So this whole story is told quite well by Jonathan Cook in this particular article.

Well, that was the key takeaway from the article for me, what they did to Corbyn and how they did it. I know a journalist in London who was a strong supporter of Corbyn, who had greatly admired his views on Palestine and Arabs and Muslims and what the British had done to the region from Sykes-Picot on to the present. And this individual simply turned on Corbyn and said he was weak, he was spineless, he kept apologizing to the enemy Jews instead of striking back and saying, you are the people who are monsters, you are the people who are international murderers. And all Corbyn did was say, oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to say that. And that’s what killed him, that the chief rabbi of Britain said he was anti-Semitic.

Yeah, Corbyn, instead of just calling it straight, you’re right, he did keep trying to apologize. “Oh no, I didn’t mean to be anti-Semitic.” “Oh, I’m so sorry that I let that guy who said something that sounded faintly anti-Semitic come to my meeting.” This kind of nonsense. Yeah, I mean, that doesn’t play well. You’ve got to fight back against these people just as energetically as they’re sliming you.

This was more Epstein associate news. We’re in the Epstein associate segment of the show. And this is the Epstein email showing that both Fox and ABC were handed all of this trove of all of the surveillance blackmail stuff from the Epstein mansion in 2020. And they verified it, but then what did they do with it? They buried it somewhere. Maybe somebody needs to dig it up.

.Well, that’s typical. When I was fighting the CIA for getting me fired from the Foreign Service, I went to the Los Angeles Times with a list of the CIA officials in Jeddah and what they were doing and how they were doing it, recruiting terrorists for the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. And the guy bought me lunch, but that was the end of it. And I had names, dates, and places right there in front of him and an inch thick stack of paper. So if it’s something they don’t want to hear and they don’t think the people want to hear and think it’s dangerous to hear, it goes into a black hole with a circular file and that’s it.

Yeah. And the details here are kind of interesting. They tried giving it to ABC’s Mark Remyard, but because it contains child pornography, he is hesitant to receive it. And so these were just a couple of housekeepers for Epstein from 2012 to 2017, got fired and took memory cards, pictures, videotapes, audio tapes from the house and are just trying to get it out there. And Fox and ABC totally covered it up.

So, I mean, no wonder nobody’s getting prosecuted here in the U.S. The institutions are just run by these criminals. And Leon Black is one of them, of course. He’s another Epstein associate that was all over the news this week. Turns out that he supposedly paid Epstein $158 million from 2012 to 2017. He was being attacked over various rapes he was committing, and Epstein apparently had even more dirt on him. So yeah, this dirty billionaire elite, it’s worse than we ever imagined.

And you’ve got Epstein there, who never graduated from college, wasn’t much of a mathematics teacher, and suddenly he’s a billionaire with key contacts of key leaders all around the world. And does somebody have a magic wand or a fairy godmother?

It’s called Mossad. Mossad is the fairy godmother with the magic wand that created him. And I think there were a couple of quotes where he basically admitted that. And Ari Ben-Manash, of course, has gone into it as well, a former Mossad guy.

Well, so Trump went to court twice this week. Unfortunately, not for rape and things like rape of 14-year-olds. But no, he went to court twice in one week and lost both times. He’s not happy.

What was he in court for this week? Well, here he is in court accused of terrorizing immigrants. And Judge Sunshine Sykes basically finds against him and orders ICE to start returning to the procedures that they were following prior to this current Trump administration, basically freeing the people that they grab who have residency cards, I guess, and giving them hearings or something like that.

So I don’t know. Putting the brakes on the way ICE has been acting is actually a good thing because ICE is basically, even if you’re anti-immigration, ICE is smearing the whole anti-immigration movement. On the other hand, I’m not sure if I’m totally on the side of Sunshine Sykes on this thing either. What do you think, Mike?

Well, my problem with the whole article and the whole procedure that seems to be going on across the country is you get some federal judge, say this person Sunshine in California, somehow believes that a district judge in one district can make rulings that have legal impact on courts all across the country, on governments all across the country, counting New York and Maryland and Delaware. I think that’s a little bit much.

It goes more from forum shopping to a violation of the whole legal system. It’s not a decision made by a circuit court, a full circuit court, or a decision made by the Supreme Court, which has jurisdiction over the entire country. It’s one person in one district in one part of the country somehow has the wisdom to dictate what will be done throughout the entire United States from sea to shining sea. And that’s what bothers me.

She’s like a federal district judge somewhere, right? Well, that’s how the cases work. You first take the case to the district, and then if it gets appealed, it goes up to the higher courts, right?

Yeah, but it’s in that particular district. Most states have at least one district. Maryland has two. I don’t know how many they have in California. So it shouldn’t go any farther than her district in California. It shouldn’t go to Maryland or Delaware or Virginia.

Again, this whole immigration thing, which is another big distraction from Epstein, where they’re pretending they’re trying to grab these illegals one by one and remove them from the country when there are what, 15 million, 20 million or more, some have even higher estimates. And this notion that you’re going to, using legal procedures, track them down, reliably identify them, grab them and deport them one by one like ICE has been doing is, of course, a complete joke.

And it’s even more obvious that if you really wanted to get rid of these people, you could do it so easily just by passing a law that would strictly penalize anybody who employed them or rented to them.

So the law is there. They have to produce their eligibility to live and work in the United States when they apply for a job. And everybody looks the other way because they want the free slave labor.

Exactly. So I don’t think Trump and his billionaire cronies who employ huge numbers of illegals have any interest whatsoever in removing illegals. This is all theater. It’s all show. It’s all Trump riling up his base, distracting us from Epstein, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And you’ll know that they really want to get rid of the illegals the day that they pass that law that strictly penalizes anybody who employs them or rents to them.

So how about the tariffs ruling? That was front page news this morning. The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal. Well, obviously, they’re unconstitutional. Because the Constitution gives the power to tax to Congress, not to the president. And tariffs are taxes. But Trump doesn’t see it that way, and he has vowed to maneuver around the tariff decision. So how’s that going to go? Here he is talking about it.

Trump: “But I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country. In other words, I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country. I’m even allowed to impose a foreign country destroying embargo. I can embargo. I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge $1 because that’s not what it says and that’s not the way it even reads. I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can’t charge any money. So I’m allowed to destroy the country, but I can’t charge them a little fee. I could give them a little two cent fee.”

What do you think of this whole issue, Mike?

Well, the key takeaway on this is what’s not discussed. Trump is running out of money to fund his operations. And he’s running out of money because he can only tax the American voters so much before he rebels. And a good number of countries around the world, like China and Japan, are dumping American dollar-denominated securities. So Trump has no money to fund his projects, and he’s mad as hell and figures, well, I’ll get it from import duties the way that funded the U.S. government in the 19th century, before we had a one and a half trillion dollar military budget, more than the next 10 countries of the world and soon to become more than all of the world’s militaries combined.

So he needs money and he can’t get it. And he’s going to have to go back to printing it, which, of course, he’s been doing for a while because the inflation keeps going up and up because there’s too much money chasing too few goods. So rather than taxing imported goods, which is what these tariffs basically do, and that tax is mainly paid by the American consumers who buy the imported goods, and so it does end up being another form of inflation, he’s going to have to come up with some alternative mechanism. But ultimately, I don’t see how that’s going to help. The White House is in trouble in a lot of different ways.

Well, here we are with the Erasing Palestine section of the show. The British Museum is erasing Palestine from their displays because these Ziobeasts who completely rule the UK through these people like Starmer and Mandelson and these other Jewish Zionist owned puppets are insisting that there’s no such thing as Palestine, even though all the maps used to show right up until 1948. Everybody called it Palestine, as all the maps said. Well, all that has to be erased now. So I guess they’re going to go into the British Museum with hammers and chisels and chisel all the stone monuments that say Palestine. They’re going to have spray paint just like the Palestine action people are going to spray paint over anything that says Palestine in any of the displays. But that kind of vandalism will be paid for by British tax dollars. What a concept. Mike, your thoughts?

Well, the British Museum has had problems for years. The Greeks want the Elgin Marbles back, and the Egyptians want various things that have been stolen by the British Empire. So where are you going to stop? Where are you going to start?

This is not the same thing, though. That’s like taking back looted property from the British Museum, whatever you think of that, is not the same thing as going through the British Museum and erasing every mention of the existence of Palestine. I mean, that’s insane.

Well, obviously, it’s the British Museum. We got it. We’re not going to give it back. And we’re going to do what we please with it, whether it’s Palestine or whether it’s greater Israel that goes from the Nile to the Euphrates or the Dijla in Iraq.

So you sent me this story. This was from RT. And Sergei Lavrov, the Russian leader, is telling us that the Palestinians made a mistake in 1947 by rejecting the partition plan. And of course, that partition plan took land that was 90 percent owned by Palestinian Arabs and awarded the vast majority of it to Jewish invaders. And so Lavrov apparently thinks that the Palestinians should have been willing to just let Jews steal their property.

I just don’t understand the Russians kowtowing to the Ziobeasts. I mean, granted, Uncle Vlad is best buddies with the two chief rabbis of the Russian Federation. And there are some three million Russian Jews in occupied Palestine. But why sacrifice the rest of the world? I mean, you have, what, two billion Muslims now? And how many hundred million Arabs are there? And they’re sacrificing all of that for three million Jews who are the most treacherous things on the face of the earth. I don’t understand it.

Yeah, I don’t understand it either, but I sort of do. I think it has to do with these tools of power that these tribalist Jewish criminals have developed over generations and generations of essentially being a criminal outsider group that preys on its host, like a parasitical entity that infests a host. That’s how Jewish communities have lived in other communities. I mean, it’s a terrible thing to say. It’s true of Romani gypsies to a certain extent, too, who find ways to separate people from their money wherever they go. And that’s what Jews do, let’s face it, running usury rackets, other forms of organized crime, drug trafficking, alcohol trafficking, slave trafficking across the oceans, the long-distance trade. Of course, they would use their ethnic nepotism to dominate in that.

And so you had this really hostile group that has an extreme differentiation between insiders and outsiders. The traditional Jewish teaching was non-Jews didn’t even have souls. They were goyim cattle. They were beasts to be fleeced. And I got in trouble for talking about this on the Boston 9/11 Truth Talk a couple nights ago. I’ll be putting that out and talking about that soon. But this is the cultural background of Jews and the Jewish religion and the way it operated in historical time. And we translated Laurent Guyénot’s book From Yahweh to Zion about it. Today’s people who haven’t been born Jewish, a lot of them are pretty normal secular people from whatever country they came into. But to some extent in that culture there’s still this historical baggage, and it’s leading the people, especially the people at the top of the socioeconomic power pyramid in the Jewish tribe, to behave in these hideous, insane ways. And so anyway, that’s why I think we’re totally discouraged from talking about this.

Anyway, moving on to the Board of Peace. This is where we had Trump falling asleep the other day at his Board of Peace meeting. And everybody’s declining, not just the Europeans, but a number of other countries that refused these invitations. So that doesn’t really look like it’s going to go anywhere. And certainly it isn’t doing Palestine any good. It’s absolute nonsense that people actually give it ink, give it airtime, attend these things. It’s a shock and people should see it as that. But somehow it’s up there on the wall there, Board of Peace, with its members and a huge logo. And my God, you don’t think the orange clown has the right to totally just replace the United Nations and crown himself king of the world.

No, I think the orange man should go back where he came from and then hide under a rock.

So how about this? This was a very moving article by Vanessa Beeley about the Zionists. They call you up and say, you want to die alone or with your family. So he gets out of his house and goes out and gets in his car, drives down the road, and boom, he gets hit by a missile. And they’re doing this day after day. Just this morning, the big news was another attack on Lebanon that killed 20 or 30 people and injured another 30 or 40, including several children. They just never stop. And there’s a ceasefire. They’re not allowed to do it.

Wasn’t there a ceasefire? And what, 180th day of the ceasefire that’s really not a ceasefire?

The more you see this stuff, the more…

“Israeli Channel 10 reported in March of 2014 that Israel has the largest human skin bank in the world. Where do you think they got all this skin from? They have more human skin than China and India. They are literally skinning the dead bodies of my brothers and sisters in Palestine. That’s where they are getting the human skin from. And if I call them Nazis, your law is going to punish me.”

So human skin lampshades, that was war propaganda. But the Zionists are the world’s greatest organ leggers. They buy them. They pay for them. They take the Palestinians that they murder and then cut their organs out. It saves them the cost, I guess, not much more than a bullet or a tank shell. And you can’t say anything disapproving about it or you’re an anti-Semite, of course.

Well, here’s one of the growing worldwide majority of “anti-Semites,” Kauther Benhania, who walked off during her Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony over the Gaza issue, and specifically the murder of Hind Rajab, that little girl who was killed so brutally with her family and whose last words on that tape are just so amazingly moving. In Germany in particular, probably the most vicious country in terms of policing anybody breathing the slightest word of truth about any of these matters, she had the guts to do this.

Well, I know a woman who grew up in Germany from the Balkans, and she’s traveled back and forth several times and says that Germany is lost. It is a repressive, brutal country that simply cannot function.

Frankly, pointing out the good things that Hitler did, like nationalizing the banks and fixing the economy, is a good way to get yourself in trouble in Germany. But honestly, I think the current German regime is making a lot of people think Hitler looks relatively good compared to these people.

Well, the Alternative for Germany party is making increases in its membership and its votes. It’s now equal to Merz’s Christian Democratic Union, the center-right party. They refuse to have any kind of dealings with them because they think that they are anti-German, undemocratic, and so forth. And you look at what the CDU and the CSU and the Socialist Party, the SPD, do, and I think the AfD would be a welcome alternative.

Yeah, I’m not so sure about that. To me, they’re all Nazi, meaning the caricature of the evil of the World War II era German National Socialist government, which, frankly, I think had good points and bad points, but definitely had some bad ones. For me, the AfD is just more Zio-Nazi. The evil that the word Nazi is supposed to convey really should be conveyed by the word Zionist. And so it’s the Zionists, these Zionist Jewish criminals who dominate the entire West through the Epstein ring and everything else, who really do skin people and sell the skin. Who needs Hitler’s supposed human lampshades that never existed when you’ve got Zionists actually skinning people, slaughtering, committing genocide, and then skinning the genocide victims and selling their skin and taking their organs and selling their other organs as well?

So anyway, I think the German government is in bed with those people now. And unfortunately, the AfD is every bit as much in bed with them.

Yeah, that’s my problem with the AfD. They support the Ziobeasts and the apartheid entity. So to me, they’re just even more Nazi, or at least equally Nazi in the bad sense, as the ruling regime.

Here’s Indi at Indi.ca. He’s a Sri Lankan guy who calls it pretty straight on his Substack. And here he goes off on the hypocrites who condemn Hamas. You’re not allowed to say anything nice about Hamas. It’s weird. Like supporting the Green Bay Packers: The idea that they’re going to force me to prefer the Chicago Bears and I’m not allowed to express that I support the Green Bay Packers never occurs to anybody in America. But supporting, in that sense, meaning just, hey, I think these guys are right, you’re not allowed to say that about Hamas. You could be arrested in many European countries. I might have immigration trouble next time I go back to the U.S. But I’m not giving Hamas any money. I’m not giving them any guns. I’m not fighting with them. I’m just stating my opinion. And it’s illegal.

Well, it’s a typical hypocrisy that you see in the United States and the rest of the West that, oh, we believe in equal rights, but by God, we don’t want to live next to those people.

I think there is some kind of extreme racism or ethnocentrism involved in this. Here’s the resistance in Palestine. It’s the most heroic movement in all of human history, as far as I can tell, just from a totally neutral scholarly perspective. If you’re studying these various groups who’ve picked up arms and fought for this, that, and the other throughout human history, there’s never been a better, braver group with a more noble cause than the Palestinian resistance, ever. But you’re not allowed to say that.

I’ve got to support Hamas, I’ve got to support Hezbollah, and I’ve got to support Ansarallah and the Islamic State.

Allahu Akbar.

All right. Let’s see what happens to us for voicing such verboten opinions.

So we’re now at the anti-Semitism watch of our show. Watch out for being anti-Semitic or else the Washington Post will get you. The Washington Post is totally Zionist controlled now and totally Trump fascist Zionist controlled. They’re basically owned by Netanyahu. Jeff Bezos has mutated into Netanyahu. They both probably look like space lizards.

Anyway, the Post is now publishing stuff like this Matthew Smithe article headlined, How the Epstein Files are Fueling Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories. So Tucker Carlson, Ana Kasparian, and people like us are really bad because we mention that Epstein was a Mossad agent blackmailing powerful people in America and around the world on behalf of Israel and the Jewish tribe of criminals that runs Israel.

Well, the thing is with the Washington Post, Eugene Meyer, the original Jew who bought it early in the last century, and his daughter, Katherine Graham, they’re not there anymore. They’re dead. So who are the Jews running the Post these days?

Well, Bezos still owns it, right?

Yes. But he supposedly is not a Jew.

No, but he’s obviously totally capitulated to the current Epstein power configuration of Jewish Zionist billionaire oligarchs who own the Trump White House and so much else. And now the Post won’t even criticize Trump. They used to bash Trump and they made a lot of money at it. They got all these liberals to read them. And now they stopped bashing Trump because Bezos is afraid that Trump might do something mean to Amazon. And now they’re totally losing their readership.

Exactly. I dropped them. I couldn’t stand the lies, the misinformation, the disinformation, and the outright propaganda. I regret it. I used to like to read the Post with my morning coffee and breakfast.

Yeah, me too. When I was in college, I used to read it in the university library. Not anymore.

So how about this? This is the story that E. Michael Jones brought up.

And Ron Unz just published a great article about it.

It wasn’t on our list last week, so I put it on this week’s list. Kerry Prejean Boller, who’s this religious liberty conservative who Trump appointed to the Religious Liberty Commission, got in big trouble for being accused of being an anti-Semite. What did she actually say? It looked so harmless. It didn’t say much of anything except that we have to give equal rights to people. And then I think she said that Candace Owens is not an anti-Semite. So they’re going to fire her from the commission for saying that Candace Owens is not an anti-Semite.

Candace Owens has been critical of the Ziobeasts, as has Tucker Carlson, and as have the Young Turks, who used to move from making nonsense like Tom Hartman on RT to actually coming out with their own YouTube production, which is eminently based on good common sense and reality.

Yeah, the Young Turks have actually taken it up a couple of notches since back in the day when they were just another kind of dumb liberal Tom Hartman type of show. Not anymore. They’re doing great stuff. They’re 9/11 truthers now, too. I’m just waiting for Cenk Uygur to invite me on the show and apologize for all those years he spent bashing the 9/11 truth movement. I’m not going to hold my breath.

But Kerry Prejean Boller basically thinks that Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are OK. And that makes her an evil anti-Semite who has to be purged from the commission. Just goes to show you who’s heavy handedly exercising power over all of this stuff these days.

So moving on to Euro dystopia. This was just a crazy story. This journalist, Hussein Dogru, has been unpersoned in Germany. It’s even worse than I realized. He’s not allowed to use money. And if anybody gives him money, they’re violating it and they could go to prison too. So this is Ali Abunimah at the Electronic Intifada writing about that case. Why has he been completely cut off from being allowed to buy groceries?

So I asked Google AI about this. The reasons for his sanctions include that he’s supposedly influenced by Russia because he has some kind of ties to RT. He’s been on RT, worked for RT. Everybody went on RT! Supposedly he’s disseminating “disinformation,” which is whatever the European authorities disagree with, they call it disinformation. He “supports radical narratives.” He “supports radical Islamic terrorist groups such as Hamas, which provides a media platform for violent anti-Israel activities at German universities.”

So he supports Palestine, and he’s against genocide. So he’s being basically unpersoned because he goes on RT and he’s against genocide. But he can’t buy groceries because all of his bank accounts are frozen. He has zero access to his own money to pay for basic necessities like food, rent, or medicine. And it’s legally prohibited for any EU citizen or company to provide him with economic resources. Even if a friend or his own wife were to give him money or buy him groceries, they would be criminalized. That’s Google AI explaining it. It sounds pretty dystopian.

Well, that’s more proof that Germany is lost.

I was in Germany about 10 years ago, and I went to that Holocaust memorial in Berlin. There’s this big old Holocaust memorial with all these pillars. And I filmed myself talking about how I’ve read all these books about this controversy about the Holocaust. I think the people who say that there were no gas chambers are probably right. The people who say that the actual number of total Jewish victims was vastly less than six million are probably right, and so on. So I talked about that and posted it. I denied the Holocaust from the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. I was still there for several days and nothing happened to me.

You were lucky.

Yeah, I think if I tried that now, I probably couldn’t buy groceries anymore.

All right, we made it to the end of the show. We made it to the circumcision row, or circumcision row. I thought it sounded sort of like Dylan’s Desolation Row. “They’re selling postcards of the circumcision. They’re painting the rabbi’s knife red….”

So anyway, here’s the circumcision row story. Belgium summons U.S. envoy over circumcision row. And I guess the Belgian government has been going after rabbis who circumcise without a license. And the Americans are saying that that’s anti-Semitic. What do you think, Mike?

Well, we have to cheer for the red, white, and Jew. And we also have to realize and be thankful for the fact that if you had Rabbi Miyakawa slicing things off going hi-yah, ha, ha, well, that’s probably what Bibi is going to do to Trump if Trump doesn’t invade Iran.

So we reached the end of the show. Thank you so much, J. Michael Springmann. It’s good to do the show with you. I enjoy it. It’s always fun.

All right. See you next time. Bye.

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joined me on Press TV’s Spotlight program to discuss the latest Russia-Iran naval drills and the likelihood of another major US attack on Iran.

Transcript:

Welcome, everyone. Iran and Russia have held naval exercises in the Sea of Oman and northern Indian Ocean to boost military cooperation and regional security. And topping the drills, maritime counter-piracy and counter-terrorism operations, IRGC forces also closed the Strait of Hormuz for a brief episode during their exercises just a day earlier. Annual drills are meant to send a clear message that the region is capable of providing its own security and stability and does not need or welcome, in fact, foreign players or intervention in this regard.

In fact, this Moscow to Iran cooperation is also giving way to the south north south transit corridor, a revolutionary transit route on land to run from St. Petersburg, Russia to the middle of India. And it runs primarily right through Iran, an economic game changer.

But first, let’s start with this quick report. Iran and Russia have wrapped up a series of joint naval exercises in the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean, aimed at boosting military cooperation and maritime security across the region. The drills focused on expanding operational coordination between the two navies, particularly in planning and executing combined missions. Special operations units from the Iranian Army, the IRGC, and the Russian Navy carried out a complex simulation to retake a hijacked vessel. In a coordinated air and sea assault, special forces boarded the target ship, detained the mock hijackers, and secured the vessel.

Military officials say the exercises were designed to improve joint readiness in countering maritime threats, including piracy and terrorism.Rear Admiral Hassan Mafzoudlu, spokesperson for the Iran-Russia joint drill, said all planned objectives have been successfully achieved.In the end, all the objectives planned by the designers in the operations room were successfully achieved.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Navy routinely participates in various defense diplomacy exercises around the world. Joint exercises with Russia in the Caspian Sea and in southern waters are also part of Iran’s annual defense diplomacy planning. As defense ties between Tehran and Moscow continue to deepen, Russian naval official Alexei Sergeev emphasized that the two countries are capable of addressing a wide range of maritime challenges together, highlighting a growing atmosphere of trust and cooperation. The level of interaction and cooperation between Iran and Russia shows that together we can manage and resolve many maritime and coastal challenges.

Moscow is ready to hold joint exercises in any region, including specialized drills such as maritime counterterrorism operations carried out by naval vessels and patrol boats from both countries. With Iran and Russia expanding collaboration across multiple sectors in recent years, the latest Navy drills underscored deepening strategic partnership between the two countries. The exercises also demonstrate the ability of both countries to safeguard regional maritime security without reliance on outside powers.

The drills come at a time of heightened tensions in the region, as the United States has stepped up its threats against Iran in recent weeks. Tehran has asserted that it is fully prepared to respond to any force threatening its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

And now for our guests for our program. Joining us, Mr. Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst from Florida. And also Kevin Barrett joining us from Saidia, Morocco. Gentlemen, pleasure to have you both. Welcome to our spotlight program. I guess Mr. Johnson, we’ll start with you down there in sunny Florida. Your initial take, please, on these naval drills between Moscow and Tehran and what they signify, especially in the scope of recent tensions.

Well, I think it’s important to understand that it’s not just with Russia. China’s also been involved. I mean, China, Russia, and Iran started a series, an annual joint naval exercise. They started that back in 2019. It’s always been scheduled around mid-February to mid-March. And anybody that’s ever been involved with military exercises before knows that the planning for this, they didn’t come up with this because of recent tensions with the United States. These exercises are usually planned days to months in advance.

And so it’s a reminder that now because of the tensions, it does take on added importance. It’s possible that they added in an additional dimension to this with just Russia. But you know the Chinese are also in the area. They have a an intelligence ship tailing the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln. So I think it’s important to understand that unlike what happened in June’s surprise attack by Israel, Iran now enjoys the full backing of Russia and China, based in part on a trilateral agreement that was assigned at the end of January of this year.

Thank you there, Mr. Johnson. Dr. Kevin Barrett, pleasure to have you join us, sir. And thank you for your presence, in fact. And your opening thoughts as well on these annual drills that we witnessed. And to Mr. Johnson’s point, he’s very correct on that, that it’s been Russia, Iran, and China. And even China was supposed to be part of this, and it just opted out in the last minute. But nevertheless, the timing of the drills, the geopolitical relevance, and the message they sent this year, forget about the other years, but this year, with the buildup of tensions.

Well, first, I’d like to say it’s an honor to be on the show with Larry Johnson. He’s doing great work. I wish we had more government service people in the United States with his analytical skills and integrity. So yeah, these drills show that this time this is yet another aspect of the way that Iran is prepared now in a way that it wasn’t last June. That is, Iran has had more than half a year to figure out what went wrong, what went right in June, and to coordinate its response with Russia and China.

And of course, Russia is the world’s leading nuclear power with a lot of battle-tested people. They’ve been fighting a very serious war now that’s dragged on. And so they’re used to fighting an existential war in a way that the United States, of course, is not.

China is the world’s biggest economic and technological power by quite a bit now. And China has, according to many analysts, made a lot of progress in the intelligence fields relevant to the Iranian response to any US attack. We know that Iran now has access to radars that are specifically directed to going after stealth aircraft. And China, of course, had with its technological edge in many fields, is known not only for their ability to deal with cyber communications and satellite communications, but of course, also they’ve been apparently involved in helping Iran develop its missile technology. I believe there were Sunburn missiles more than two decades ago that already at that point could have shut down the Persian Gulf.

So Iran is totally prepared for this. Dick Cheney backed off. Obama didn’t even want to think about it. And now we’ve got an apparently Epstein-blackmailed Zionist stooge lunatic in the White House who is willing to gamble with the future of the region and the world. And so it’s a very, very dangerous situation. And with Russia and Chinese involvement, this of course sets the stage for escalation that could get out of control.

And thank you there, Dr. Barrett. And Mr. Johnson, Iran said time and again that the anti-terror operations and anti-piracy operations and other dimensions to the drills are meant to convey that, hey, we have regional players that can handle regional security and do not need, in fact, do not want outside forces in the region for any assistance in this regard. But is anyone listening when it comes to this point being driven home?

Well, the only terrorism threat that Iran has really faced has been that which has been ginned up by the United States and Israel. In particular, let’s recall that in after the United States invaded Iraq in 2003 and identified the MEK, the Mujahideen al-Khalq, they then, in 2004, realized, “hey, we can use these guys to attack Iran.” And even though the MEK was still on the list of international terrorists that my old office used to classify as organizations that were bad, the CIA and the US military started working with these guys. They weren’t removed from the terrorist list until 2012. And yet they became US proxies.

So to my knowledge, the MEK has never been responsible for carrying out a maritime attack. I think the maritime platform is, I’ll call it an excuse, to bring Russia and China together. What happens in these exercises is the officers, they get to know each other. You develop friendships. You learn how to communicate. You learn what kind of systems work best, and you try to simulate a crisis situation. And can you communicate in that situation? And if there’s a breakdown, what kind of workarounds do you come up with?

So they used the anti-terrorism thing as sort of the script, but that’s not the real purpose of this exercise. The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that Russian military personnel, Chinese military personnel, and both the conventional and the Revolutionary Guard personnel in Iran know how to communicate, know how to work together in different circumstances. And I frankly think that we’re on the cusp, as Mr. Barrett was noting. of something very dangerous and very terrible, but I think at the heart of it, the United States has grossly, grossly underestimated the capabilities of Iran.

And part of it is they keep feeding themselves propaganda. Just as an illustration, Sy Hersh, who I’ve known for years, and Sy’s been a friend, but he’s come out with one of the most ridiculous pieces of crap. He insists that during the 12-day war that the Iron Dome of Israel knocked out 90% of Iranian ballistic missiles and they eliminated the ballistic missile threat from Iran. Now, that’s what he’s been told by intelligence sources. That is a complete falsehood. But the problem is, the policymakers in the United States, and apparently in Israel, believe that nonsense. And when they act on it, they’re in for a rude awakening.

Thank you there. And Dr. Barrett, would you like to weigh in on that as well? The fact that Iran and Russia, both under U.S. sanctions, both would like to see a region free of U.S. and NATO presence or meddling, that it’s basically they take pride in maneuvers like this to make that very declaration that no one is, especially from the West, is needed or wanted in this backyard. But does it matter to anyone in the West?

I think the West is right now mired in confusion. And as Larry Johnson said, they are basically high on their own supply of propaganda. And I think that’s largely due to the exorbitant power wielded by fanatical tribalistic Zionists. Everything they see is tempered by their kind of paranoiacal tribal self-interest. And then there are some millenarian messianic strain of Zionism as well that lead them to embrace these extremely dangerous and risky scenarios. And of course the fact that the Israelis have gotten away with so much over the years, not least of all the Kennedy assassinations and 9/11, emboldens them to take these ridiculous risks.

Russia and China and Iran are at this point the grown-ups in the room who see that the West, led by this Zionist occupied regime in Washington, is a grossly irresponsible actor that cannot be allowed to preside over the development of this coming multipolar world. And there’s now an agreement on that. That is the crazy Americans, the Zionist hijacked Americans, have driven Russia, China and Iran together in a way that never would have happened if relatively sane strategists like Zbigniew Brzezinski had had their way. Brzezinski wrote in The Grand Chessboard that one of the most important, if not the most important, strategic imperatives for the U.S. was to basically get along well with Iran and not create a situation where Iran might make common cause with one of these other rising great powers. And now we have this situation where the Americans have proven that they’re just so completely, grossly irresponsible and reckless and crazy that they no longer have the mandate of heaven, no longer deserve to preside over the world. And the rest of the world, the sane people, see that. And that’s why we’re seeing increasing cooperation from the heart of this new multipolar order led by Iran, China and Russia.

Right, and Mr. Larry Johnson, these strengthening alliances in the face of very sensitive time, increased U.S. military threats and buildup, for that matter, in the region. Okay, many feel that that has no bearing on the fact that from different dimensions of Iran’s leadership, including the leader himself, very defiant, bold, and far from cowering in the face of U.S. threats recently. Many people, it has nothing to do with Iran’s ties with Beijing or Moscow. What do you attribute this level of confidence to?

You mean confidence on the Iranian side?

Yeah, it’s a crushing response, should the U.S. make a misstep.

Well, look, Iran made a mistake prior to June 13th last year. because both Russia and China had offered assistance. And in fact, the mutual security pact that Iran and Russia inked last January of 2025 did not include the kinds of security guarantees that Russia had offered to North Korea. And my understanding is that, in fact, Russia had made the same offer to Iran, but for some internal reasons, I call it the desire to be more independent, Iran said, no, no, no, let’s just go with this other level. Well, in the aftermath of this cowardly attack by Israel and by the United States, I think the Iranians sort of woke up and went, you know what? Those offers from Russia and China sound pretty good. And so what we’ve seen is a dramatic upgrade in the relationship between Russia and China with Iran and providing not just military equipment and significant upgrades with air defense radar, actual air defense systems, other weapons such as attack helicopters, but more importantly intelligence, intelligence cooperation and sharing.

And, you know, I understand the pride of the Iranian people and don’t want to diminish that at all. But there’s a reason Ringo Starr wrote that song, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” And that’s where Iran is now. They’re going to be getting by with the help from some very powerful friends. And the other dimension to this is Russia and China open a new economic path forward for Iran, who has been victimized by what I would say is an illegal economic warfare waged primarily by the United States, but also by Europe.

Thanks. And Dr. Barrett, Mr. Larry Johnson earlier alluded to, you said many are grossly underestimating Iran’s defense capabilities in the face of these U.S. threats of military action against the country. Your take on that?

I think that’s right. I think maybe the people who were fooling themselves on the Western side, I’m not talking about Trump and the political leaders who don’t really have any understanding of the military issues involved, but maybe some of the military people who are basically telling Trump and his friends what they want to hear, that, hey, we can solve this. Maybe what they’ve done is they’ve got some kind of plan to deal with what Iran did last time. But Iran, of course, is not going to do exactly what they did last time. And what Iran learned in raining down missiles on Tel Aviv is that there are ways to get past the so-called Iron Dome and these other anti-missile systems.

So I think you might have a static analysis coming out of the Western side that doesn’t take into account this series of changes that Iran has undoubtedly made, as Larry Johnson said, in part with the assistance of Russia and China, but also, of course, due to its own internal abilities to look at what’s happened on the battlefield and make adjustments.

I imagine that anybody in the American side that thinks that they can deal with the capabilities that we saw on display in June—and we saw that they can go through the most advanced missile defense systems that the West and Israel have and hit these targets flat on, right? Just very, very accurately. That means all of that whole armada that Trump just sent, it’s a big series of sitting ducks. They all have targets on their back. And whatever the Americans think that they have to deal with that, it’s really hard to imagine how it could possibly be effective.

You know, what I’m concerned about, of course, is that Trump is not just playing the Nixon-style madman theory of pretending to be insane. I mean, he really is a narcissistic, deviant character. And who knows what he could be manipulated into. And that’s why the escalation potential of this is so dangerous for everybody.

All right, thank you. And we have, I think, enough time to get one more question out to each of you. I want to kind of switch shifts now and go beyond the drills. There’s this north-south corridor, Mr. Johnson, this land route that will connect Europe to India. It runs from St. Petersburg, Russia, all the way through Iran down to the middle of India. Now, it’s obviously a massive operation that will have massive economic dividends for the region’s future. But not just that. With something like infrastructure this big, a project this big, comes political benefits, you very well know, and political leverage. So your thoughts on what that, the fruition of such a project will mean for all parties involved.

Well, it’s just, it’s another, let’s call it another brick in the wall of building a new economic, international economic order. The Bretton Woods system, what the United States erected in the aftermath of World War II with Bretton Woods, IMF, World Bank, that system is now unraveling and the unraveling of that system has been accelerated by the sanctions that were imposed on Russia, sanctions imposed on Iran, sanctions imposed on China. It has been really created an incentive for these countries to find a way that they can operate outside of a system that is based upon a reserve currency as the US dollar. And in fact, they have dramatically accelerated in that regard. The problems Iran has suffered economically were imposed in large measure because they didn’t have an alternative system. Now they do. The Chinese have created it with the cross-border interbank payment system, for example. So, you know, I think that’s where the north-south corridor fits within this whole architecture, new architecture of building a new financial trade system.

Thank you, Mr. Larry Johnson. And Mr. Dr. Kevin Barrett, I want to come to you also. What the realization, from your perspective, of the Northwest Corridor mean for Russia, for Iran, and the region, even for those not party to or apart of the project?

Yeah, this means a whole new world where these crazies in Zionist-occupied Washington, D.C. can no longer just sanction anybody that doesn’t obey their orders. And of course, everybody wants that all over the world. Nobody likes living in a world where these crazies in Washington and Tel Aviv can just hit you with these sanctions and basically debank you, deplatform you, you can’t trade anymore. Russia doesn’t like that. China doesn’t like that. And of course, Iran likes it least of all.

And with this progress in alternative trade platforms, we are going to see the final sinking of the dollar as the international reserve currency. And we’re going to see a thriving Eurasia in a multipolar world.

We have a little bit of time left. I’m not going to sign off just yet. Larry Johnson, Donald Trump said that he’s giving talks days to see if they reach a good diplomatic settlement. How do you see things unfolding over the next days to two weeks with respect to tensions between D.C. and Tehran?

He’s lying. I think Iran’s going to be attacked within the next to hours.

And Dr. Kevin Barrett, your take and final thoughts, please.

Well, I have no idea what the time frame would be, but my optimism from a few days ago has evaporated. And I think that the odds at this point do seem to favor another American attack on Iran. And I think Iran is going to be able to demonstrate that it can go all the way up the escalation ladder as far as the Americans want to take it. And hopefully some, perhaps the Israelis will call it off as Iranian missiles once again rain down on Tel Aviv to the delight of everybody who’s horrified by this genocide that the Israelis have been committing.

Well, we all hope that cooler heads obviously prevail. Thank you, gentlemen. Pleasure to have you both on. Stay safe both of you. Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst, joining us here out of Florida, and also Dr. Kevin Barrett, editor at Veterans Today, joining us from Sadia, Morocco.And viewers, this brings us to the end of your Press TV Spotlight program.Thank you for tuning in, and bye-bye for now.

Dean Radin is the English-speaking world’s leading popularizer of the science of psi and its implications, and the author of many books and scientific papers. He is Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), Associated Distinguished Professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and cofounder and chairman of the neuroengineering company, Cognigenics. He earned a BS and MS in electrical engineering and a PhD in psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. In 2022 he was awarded an Honorary DSc from the Swami Vivekananda University in Bangalore, India. He has worked at AT&T Bell Labs, Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, and SRI International.

Welcome to Truth Jihad Audiovisual. I’m Kevin Barrett getting visual here for the first time with Dean Radin. I’ve had him on a few times on audio. And here we are doing actual video and talking about his great new book, The Science of Magic. And the subtitle is How the Mind Weaves the Fabric of Reality. It basically starts with the science of psi, leads us up to magic, and the notion that we’re actually all sort of co-creating the universe through paranormal means. It used to be known as magic. Anyway, it’s a good book, and it’s good to have you back, Dean Radin, welcome.

Thank you. It’s good to be here.

It’s another fascinating book. I’ve been interested in these topics since high school when I discovered the Encyclopedia of Philosophy’s entry on Psi, which shockingly basically said that, yeah, this has been proven. Unless there’s something very strange going on, clearly Psi has been proven scientifically. This was back in the mid-1970s. And so I looked into it. Wow, that’s interesting. That’s not what I’ve heard from everybody else. And I looked into it and it was true. So I’ve been sort of following that ever since and also have been aware of the fact that we’re sort of influencing reality psychically all the time. And that’s that’s where your book gets to in this kind of second half or third third. So, yeah, let’s talk about that and the wild and crazy implications. Where should we start? You tell the story of how you got into this field in the book. So maybe you can give us the short version.

Well, the short version is that like a lot of kids, usually, who start reading science fiction and fairy tales, you can’t help but start wondering if any of that stuff is true. And then you get a little bit older and you start learning about science and you hear pretty uniformly that none of it is true. And so it depends on whether or not you remain with childlike enthusiasm and imagination, or if it gets squashed when you’re a little bit older. So for a lot of people, it gets squashed pretty quick. For some, they never break out of the squashiness and their imagination begins to fail. But for others, many scientists, actually, you’re driven by curiosity, as I am. In which case you simply want to know what’s real, what’s true. And so when you start looking at the scientific evidence, which has been around since the late 1950s, it’s very difficult to reach a conclusion that the phenomena that we’re talking about, psychic phenomena, does not exist or is impossible, because it’s quite clear that it has been happening all the time in human experience, and you could even see it in laboratory tests. So anybody who pays attention to that, as you just said, you are then presented with what amounts to a kind of a paradox, a contrast between we are being told, and yet the evidence is clearly not saying that. This is real.

So other questions arise like, well, why are we not being told this? What is something being hidden from us? And so I generally don’t go in that direction. I simply say that science tends to be very skeptical and conservative in terms of what it accepts as being true, which is fine. But once it accounts certain kinds of anomalies, which history again and again shows that’s where the future of science always is, there’s two ways you can respond to it. One is to go with the status quo, so it doesn’t disrupt the possibility of your future employment, and just agree with what everyone else does and says; or follow the anomalies, which entails some risk, but also offers a lot of rewards. So I decided the risk was worth it. So here I am years later, and finding it as interesting and as thrilling as I thought when I was a teenager.

Yeah, I agree. Your book is really kind of exciting to read. For somebody like me who’s known about this for a long time, it really is inspiring. It’s actually kind of thrilling to know that we’re somewhere near the edge of a radical change in worldview. Because this can’t be ignored forever. And there are signs, even though it hasn’t exploded into public consciousness the way I expected it would. When I first looked into this in the 1970s and early 1980s, I kind of thought, “well, by the turn of the millennium, this will be pretty widely accepted.” And it seems like it kind of stalled. The Encyclopedia of Philosophy was a very mainstream publication. And they were unequivocal that “this stuff is real. It’s been proven seven ways from Sunday. Get used to it.” But somehow the consensus view in the academy has managed to keep sticking heads in the sand. How have they kept a lid on this?

Yeah, in many ways, that’s really the interesting question, because the answer is that it’s partially culture-bound. So within, as a broad umbrella term, Western academia, it is thought that because these effects are impossible, then the only evidence can be interpreted as flaws or fraud. If you look at Wikipedia, that’s sort of the way that is presented. Well, that partially becomes a theoretical problem. If you can’t immediately think of an explanation, you say, well, it doesn’t exist. But as sociologists of science have pointed out again and again, that is always how anomalies are presented. That there must be something wrong because we can’t possibly change the dogma, which is what we are accepting as being true. And eventually, if something is real, it will penetrate.

So why has it not penetrated yet into the mainstream? Well, one possibility is, without going too far into conspiracy theory, is exactly the same reason why UFOs have only recently, like within the past five years or so or six years, have come out of the closet as far as the U.S. government has presented. And other governments have been way ahead of this. So... There are those who perceive that UFOs, psychic phenomena, and a whole bunch of other things are simply declared as demonic. We don’t understand it. We don’t like it. It’s uniformly presented as demonic or as horrific in our entertainment. And so we simply come away with an idea that we don’t want this to be real. And so there’s a huge push from a religious perspective: Don’t pay attention to this. Don’t look at it. It’s bad.

There’s the other push from science, where the science spokespeople, many of them, are saying that this stuff can’t possibly be real, and then give a bunch of reasons. So you have pressure from both of those directions, which is pretty strong. You may also have pressure from government. The government doesn’t want people to know that this is actually real too, partially because with things like remote viewing or clairvoyance in general, the possibility arises that not only are we in a surveillance state, but the kind of surveillance that literally can look at anywhere in space or time by people who are adept at doing that. And so maybe there are people in government that don’t want to know that that’s possible.

It’s even worse than Snowden said.

You can understand that there’s multiple pressures that combine to push the idea of these kinds of phenomena to the fringe. So that’s a big part of it. But again, it’s culture bound. So you go to India, you go to Asia and so on. These things are so well accepted that people say, well, why are you even bothering to study it? Like, what are you studying? That’s the kind of attitude I’ve encountered in India for sure, but in other countries as well. So this is a culture bound problem.

Absolutely. I moved to Morocco two and a half years ago, and I can tell you that it is a culture where people basically accept the worldview that you’re presenting. Nobody, only maybe a very minuscule percentage of people here who’ve been overly indoctrinated in Western education, might agree with the Western consensus. But the vast majority, not at all. And that’s one of many things I like about Morocco.

So you mentioned science and religion both kind of working in the same direction to keep this suppressed. I wonder…it seems to me that years ago it was more the religion side that was doing it. And now we have the tools of science proving that it’s real. And I think one of the reasons that many people in the scientific establishment don’t want to admit it’s real is that it challenges scientism as a dogmatic substitute for religion. And indeed, it opens the door again to a more religious worldview. I think many certainly mystical people and other people who are engaged in religion in something other than a dogmatic way would see the world much more closely to this, the way that you see the world based on your scientific work. And so I’m wondering if part of it now isn’t actually a sort of an anti-religious impulse coming from the dogmatic adherence of the religion of scientism.

Yes. Yeah that is partially a challenge to an ideological position about what is a worldview, what is the nature of reality, and what’s our role in it. And so traditionally that was a religious worldview which scientists—not all of course but a percentage of scientists—don’t like that view because they see it as irrational.

But nevertheless, yeah, there are people who have a predilection towards a kind of faith. And so scientism is a faith, because it is generally not taught within the sciences that we’re working under a set of assumptions. We’re talking about the philosophy of science. And in some ways, the opening gambit in my book is all about the philosophy of science. But I didn’t want to put it in those terms, because the words have too many syllables if you do it in a philosophical sense, and the book would only act as a cure for insomnia. So I kind of go round about to say that we all live within a certain worldview. Some scientists have different worldviews, which only admit certain things to be true. And yet the moment that you see that science is sitting on a set of assumptions, and we already know that some of those assumptions are wrong, some of them are questionable, suddenly our worldview is put into a kind of a spin. And if you’re uncomfortable with ambiguity, the easy thing to do is just say, “I’m going to ignore it. It’s not true. Can’t be true, right? Yeah, it’s impossible.”

You mentioned that you didn’t want to get too far into conspiracy theories, but you’re welcome to go as far into them as you want in this particular show. Because, of course, I got into this business, as opposed to studying medieval Moroccan Sufism—my dissertation is on the miracle stories about the paranormal, miracles recounted in the Sufi saints’ legends in North Africa. And I would probably still be doing that, except in late 2003 I read David Ray Griffin’s work on 9/11, looked into that, discovered that same situation as when I looked into psi in high school, that the reality is very, very different from the official story. So I’ve been sort of a professional conspiracy author and podcaster ever since.

The two big American “conspiracy theories” that are basically true are the JFK assassination coup and the 9/11 coup. And in both of those cases, the reason that there’s such a grotesque discrepancy between the official mythos and the unfortunate reality is that there are powerful interests that are heavily invested in the official mythos. And if that’s true for those issues, one wonders to what extent would that be true for the suppression of psi? And certainly there are vested interests there. I remember last time I had you on, you said that eventually, at some point, normal Western materialistic medicine will probably be completely replaced. And my brother, who’s a kind of materialistic medical doctor, who sometimes reacts badly to my discussions of psi, so I don’t bring it up as often as maybe I would like to—he’d be out of a job, I guess, if that happened. That’s just one example of somebody with a vested interest in maintaining a more materialistic worldview. And there are probably lots of others. And then let’s not even get into the people who might actually be using psi and not want any competition. So go for it. Tell us about the possible conspiracy scenarios here.

Well, I talk about maybe not conspiracy, but of disinformation, which is quite clear that the U.S. government has used during the Stargate program. And so I think I gave one or two examples of that, where at the same time that the Army was funding the Stargate program, their public stance was “there’s nothing interesting going on here,” as was said at a press conference where they talked about a review of the evidence. We knew at the time—I was president of the Parapsychological Association at the time—we knew that that was a ridiculous thing to promote in the media because not only did it counter what we knew was true, that these phenomena are real, but their own report contradicted what was said publicly. So it was like a bad version of disinformation, because if you just read the book, you’d say, oh, that’s different than what they’re talking about.

You can look back at it and say, well, why did they do that? Because it was so transparently wrong. They did it because they were funding a secret program and they didn’t want to sort of out it. So of course they would say, no, there’s nothing to look at. Just go do something else right now. And then the media went along with it. The only media that didn’t was the Chronicle of Higher Education. And the only reason that happened is because I happened to be at Princeton at the time. So I called them up and said, there’s something seriously wrong with this. And then some editor or journalist at the Chronicle said, oh, this is an interesting story. And so they wrote about it. That’s why we know that the expert hired to evaluate the psi component of that report, who was Robert Rosenthal at Harvard University, wrote a very positive report saying, yeah, this stuff looks real. And then they suppressed it. And so the head of the program at the National Research Council called up Bob Rosenthal and said, don’t put that in there, leave it out. And fortunately, Bob said, no, you hired me to do this, this is my opinion, and there it is. So by outing that, basically for anybody who cared, they would look at that and say, well, sometimes the government doesn’t tell us things which they know is incorrect. Well, then, as you said, what else are we being told that’s not completely correct? In this particular case, it was maybe because at the time we knew that the Soviet Union—this was during the Cold War—they were doing this as well. And maybe the Chinese were. And so we didn’t want to trumpet it. We didn’t want to say, yeah, here it is, and this is what we’re doing. So maybe that’s why they tried to suppress it. But otherwise, I don’t know why they would do that.

And they also suppress this kind of research through ridicule, just like with other so-called conspiracy theories and unofficial knowledge. The wonderful, enjoyable book, Jon Ronsen’s The Men Who Stare at Goats, and then the film that was made based on that, struck me as possibly something that the insiders would have approved of, because it ends up sort of making light of the topic: Oh, look at these crazy military guys who are trying to kill goats by staring at them. Ha, ha, ha. Isn’t that hilarious? Well, yeah, but the fact that they were putting it out in that form made me suspicious that it was a diversion, and they claim they’ve shut this stuff all down. “Of course, we wouldn’t ever use the taxpayers’ money for anything this crazy ever again.” Yeah, right. My suspicion would be, oh, they’ve got something even better going in the background that they don’t want to tell us about. So they invited Jon Ronson in there to have some fun.

Yeah, no, clearly it was a spoof, right? One of the ways of doing any kind of propaganda is to deflect interest by making fun of it. And it works, right? We make fun of it. So there’s just pressure from all over the place. You mentioned the Sufis. And so, yeah, there are all kinds of interesting bodily effects, like the skewers through your body, and then there’s no blood, and it heals instantly, whatever.

The Isawiyya order is famous for that here (in Morocco).

Yeah. So I had an opportunity a couple of months ago to talk at some length with Sadhguru, who’s an Indian guru with many followers. And this was at Harvard Medical School where there was an audience, and we were on stage and we were discussing something. So I could have talked about anything. So the thing I was interested in is privately, I talked to Sadhguru a little bit before about telepathy. And we were saying, well, we’re learning more and more about telepathy and maybe a little bit about how to enhance it and eventually figure out how to make it actually really good. He said, that’s not a good thing. Don’t do that. And it reminded me that in every spiritual tradition, it is said that if you do a practice, whatever it happens to be, that you will begin to bump into these kinds of phenomena, whether it’s meditation or drugs or whatever it is, that you will have these phenomena. But don’t pay attention to it. Just sort of recognize it as something that will happen and that’s not your goal. So keep going and eventually become enlightened or whatever the goal is.

So I asked this to Sadhguru. I said, well, why? I mean, wouldn’t it be interesting to know what’s going on here and to actually learn from a scientific perspective what these phenomena are? Because if somebody encounters those phenomena and the usual response is either don’t pay attention to it from a from a spiritual tradition or worse telling somebody about it and then ending up going to a psychiatrist and being drugged because “those things are psychotic” or immediately falling into, “oh, those are demonic. So, you know, do something to get rid of the demons.” Or you’re Jesus. I mean, people are going to look for some kind of explanation and they need it. So why not a scientific explanation?

And so Sadhguru basically told quite a long story in several different ways that said, in essence, humans are aggressive, not particularly intelligent monkeys, and we are seduced by power, and it would destroy humanity if we actually learned how to use this stuff. So I’m a scientist. The room is full of medical professionals and scientists. And so I kind of looked at the audience. I said, are you saying there’s like some things we shouldn’t know? We shouldn’t study? And the answer more or less was yes. There’s some things that should not be studied. And part of the story was: Look at all of the things that we have learned through scientific methods, which are turned into technologies, which are killing us. That’s hard to argue against because some of that is true. Like we created plastic, what a great thing. Well, now there’s plastic everywhere. So we didn’t figure that out too well. And one time I met the man who invented trans fats, which were going to replace things like butter and so on, because it’d be a lot healthier for us. Well, that turned out to be a really bad mistake. So it’s true that we can learn a certain amount, we turn it into a technology, but we can’t see the unintended consequences. This is why people are beginning to freak out about AI. Well, maybe that’s a technology. Maybe it’s not so good. So this would be a technology, said Sadhguru, and also echoed in the spiritual traditions, that if you learn really, really well, like what’s going on with psychic phenomena, and you can develop it into what would have been called magic a long time ago, you can have a whole lot of Merlins out there. And maybe if their egos aren’t in check, they’re going to be seduced and that will destroy the entire planet quickly. So don’t do it.

So now what? Now we have pressure from even from the spiritual traditions that recognize these things are real. So we’re getting pressure from all directions. “Don’t do that. Don’t look at that.” You have to be pretty stubborn or at least self-confident, I guess, to persist in the face of all that opposition.

Regarding that question of: “Is humanity ready for this, and what kinds of consequences are likely to come about if people start developing these powers more consciously?” Your book takes a pretty optimistic view, not too far from a common sense perspective that when people kind of do these practices, these attention practices and meditation-like practices that are associated with building up their ability to do magic or have psi powers, typically they become less attached to their base, lower desires for wealth, power, fame, sex, dominance, and all this sort of thing, and become better people, the kind of people that you would trust more with these powers. And in that sense, your book could be taken almost as a guide to a new sort of religious philosophy: “Let’s all learn magic. Let’s all develop these abilities and let’s become better people. And let’s assume that everybody who does this is going to become better people.”

And that does sound kind of tempting. But then I also, you know, I’m kind of coming out of a traditionalist perspective, a traditionalist movement of perennialists. This movement was founded by René Guénon, the great French philosopher who came to Islam. That’s what led me to Islam. and Moroccan Suivism and all that stuff. Guenon looked at what the Freemasons and the cultists were doing in late 19th century Paris and concluded that there was a lot of bad stuff going on because these people were all too worldly, too attached to their base desires, and that the best map, the roadmap for getting to where we need to go, would be back in the great revealed traditions. And he found that Islam was the best preserved and the one most congenial for Westerners. And I sort of followed that line of thought and practice as well.

So anyway, there is a difference between on the one hand, believing or hoping that building up magical or psi powers will actually lead us to be better people versus those who say, “be careful with that. Better to go back to a traditionalist path.” Like in Islam, the word Islam means surrender the ego. So you really have to kind of blow off the ego and all of the lower desires, right? The ego that desires evil. You’ve got to blow that off before you even get into these worlds. So anyway, just what are your thoughts about that argument?

Yeah. That is the yogic path as well. If you’re on the yogic path, you might spend years learning how to dissolve your ego or get beyond it before you start learning how to do the siddhis. Which makes a lot of sense. You can imagine a very old tradition where people saw that if you’re seduced by the power too quickly and your ego is involved, that is dangerous for yourself and other people. So what are we going to do about it? Well, we have a training program. which will train you how to get beyond your ego and to recognize the unity of everyone and the interconnectedness of life and all things, but really get, it in the same way that sometimes people will get it through a psychedelic experience or a mystical experience. That’s when they become better people. But if you suddenly... for one reason or another, end up with having remarkable powers like this. Like in fairy tales where you have three wishes. What are you going to do? Well, that’s dangerous. So... So the spiritual traditions then make sense in that maybe you need to pass through all of that until you realize, “oh, actually everything is one unity and it is connected and all of the rest,” all of that, which is transcending the ego to a large extent, then it’s okay because you can use these abilities. But before then, it is not a good idea.

So then what do I do? What do other scientists like myself do? I’m driven by the curiosity that everyone would have the moment they have one of these experiences. If you happen to start out being on the spectrum where you’re kind of psychotic, bad news. If you’re not there, which I’m not, I tend to intuitively feel that there is a connection to everything anyway. Then I’m drawn to the curiosity of trying to figure out: how do we reconcile the nature of these phenomena with what is taught about in spiritual traditions? And I’m not a religious person by any means, but I get the same sense a lot of people do that there’s a lot more going on than we can perceive. And even from straightforward psychology, we know that our experience or our conscious awareness is a tiny little cartoon trickle of what’s actually going on. So we’re missing huge amounts of stuff that are actually right in our face, but we can’t see it. We don’t see it.

Like most scientists, I think it’s better to know than not to know. And so I’ll continue doing what I do, and someday maybe we’ll be smart enough if we pass the very rough adolescent stage of humanity at the moment. People will look at this backwards in time and say, oh, okay, yeah, they were pushing us into this direction where we had a broader relationship, rational language to be able to understand what these things are, without having to use what amounts to religious language.

And that leads to the question about retrocausation, which features in a pretty major way in this book. And it’s one of the most mind boggling concepts in parapsychology: That one of the ways that psi or quote-unquote magical power sometimes actually operates in the world is by rearranging the past so that something happens in the present that had to have been influenced by the past. And there are actually studies that you’ve designed to test this, and it seems like that’s happening.

Although with proviso that it’s not changing the past. It is influencing events as they unfold or as they unfolded when they were happening in the past… It’s an important distinction because if we could change the past, then all hell breaks loose, so to speak. The present would never be stable. And as best as we can tell, it’s pretty stable. So what we see in the experiments then is that if there’s an event that’s taking place, say now, right now there’s something happening. Most of it is not being observed by anybody, unless you imagine that there’s panpsychism and everything is being observed all the time, which is possible. But at least for conscious entities, sort of like humans, we’re not paying attention to most of everything. So those events apparently reside in something similar to or analogous to a quantum superposition, like they could take all kinds of different possible futures from there. And so those seem to be susceptible to what we would see as a future influence. And so some—I don’t remember if I put this in the book or not—but one of the things that our institute has studied are spontaneous remissions of disease.

You did discuss that.

Right. And so one of the explanations then of “how is it that somebody with a very serious, usually fatal disease can be cured miraculously overnight? How did that happen? And so one way to think of it is that you’re not literally changing the past of that person, but rather every disease will follow a certain progression. And you can think of it as a branching structure where some of it will be fatal and some of it you’ll be perfectly fine. And so maybe there are different probabilistic pieces of that branch. But if you have the capacity now as a healer to influence what was happening way back when, which is not being observed, and you can say, you know what, we’re going to nudge it onto the branch where they’re still quite ill, but something happens in their body, which no one’s paying attention to, including that person, that will push it into the branch where they’re going to suddenly look like it’ll suddenly actually get better quickly. And so that would be a way of understanding then how something that looks miraculous actually is because of something that is happening in the future.

Interesting. I’m going to ask you about something. The reason I’m here in Morocco, actually, or kind of the most direct, obvious reason, is that my wife really wanted to come here. As you say in the book, people really have this strong desire. That’s when you’re going to manifest the magic. So one day she told me, I bought two tickets to Morocco. We’re going to Saidia, Morocco. And if you don’t want to come, I’ll just go myself because I’m looking for a place to live there. And I said, well, I guess I better come along. So I went along with her to Saidia, Morocco. I had looked at the real estate stuff that she had pulled up on the Internet, and it didn’t appeal to me at all. And we got in the car with the real estate guys and drove all over the place, and there was nothing that looked remotely interesting. And actually, we did this for two days. And at the end of the second day, we gave up and said, OK, let’s just go take a walk on the beach and forget about it. So we walked towards the beach, got close to the beach. My wife turned and looked at this villa and said, oh, what a beautiful villa. Why couldn’t I have a villa like that? And at that moment, a car pulled up and a guy got out of the car. My wife turned to him and said, is that villa for sale? And he thought for a second and said, come on in and drink some tea. And the next thing you know, it turned out this was the one place that she would succeed in convincing me to move to. It was maktoub as they say in Morocco.

So anyway…how did she do that? For this guy to pull up at exactly that moment…and he didn’t even know he was selling the house until that moment. For that to happen, he had to do all these things in the past such as get in his car and drive in such a way to show up there. So if my wife wasn’t somehow influencing the past, what was she doing?

Right, so this is one of the theories, sort of somewhere between a magical theory, but also has been discussed in parapsychology, of how does any of this stuff work? And so the idea is that through psychic ability, we simply hypothesize, we can perceive through space and time. And we also have the capacity, an agency type of capacity where we can push things. We can push probabilities around, we can do both. And so if you want a certain thing to occur, which in a popular sense would be thought of as a manifestation, you simply want something to happen or you want to create a synchronicity. You use everything you possibly can. So you’re saying we’re going to look in the future and past. We’re going to look at all of the possibilities of that. And we’re also going to push things and people a little bit and sort of kind of arrange for a certain goal to occur. Now, if you tried to figure it out, you have spreadsheets with all of the possibilities, but it’s going to be like infinite. It’d be very difficult to tell. But let’s assume then that some aspect of our unconscious can see all of that. And so we simply say, this is the goal that I want. I want this. And you figure it out. Well, who’s the you? Part of it is us. Part of it is the universe in some way that simply responds to what it is that we want. That’s pretty much how we imagine magic works. Because again, for a magical thing to happen, what you’re describing is a perfect synchronicity. I want, and then things are put into motion. So- How does that occur? Well, we don’t know exactly how it occurs. I have a proto-theory, as I just described. But of course, that would immediately drive any curious person into trying to figure it out. Like, what is that? How is that even possible? Well, that’s the kind of curiosity that drives me to do what I do. We do little experiments and say, well, is it possible? And there have been some experiments looking at this notion of a kind of looking at psychic phenomenon, not as there is telepathy and it’s different from precognition and it’s different from this. And they’re all like the same thing. They’re all related in some way. We’re participating with the universe as John Wheeler said. So one of the aspects of the book that I try to thread through there is that a lot of this sounds from a conventional scientific perspective like it’s kind of crazy. Like we’re delusional and making up coincidences that aren’t really there. And yet, when you look at leading physicists who have been trying to figure out what is quantum mechanics trying are to tell us, John Wheeler in particular, used the notion of a participatory universe, we are engaged with it, whatever it is out there. We’re engaged with it in a kind of a continual dance. And so from that perspective, if you really accept that and recognize that this is coming out of physics, it’s not coming out of spiritual traditions or religion or anything else, you accept that as a hypothesis, they’d say, well, let’s just imagine that were true. That’s why you’re living in your house.

Indeed. It reminded me actually of your story of your lab, where there was a guy who set up a psi lab adjacent to your lab, unbeknownst to you both, even though you thought you knew all the people who worked in psi. And it turns out he had deliberately sort of manifested you. And then he had the equipment that you needed.

Yeah, like a co-manifestation, like a double synchronicity. Both of us focusing hard on what we wanted. So he wanted me. I wanted his equipment. And somehow we ended up literally adjacent to each other in the same place at the same time, which is ridiculous from a conventional perspective. Because again, like I needed to make these decisions. He needed to make those decisions totally in any conventional way, independent from each other. And yet they coalesced.

I decided to write both my previous book called Real Magic and the new book, The Science of Magic, partially because I’ve experienced those kinds of things. And then again, curiosity comes to play. And I realized very early on that psychic phenomena and magical phenomena are the same thing, just with different words, different language, different part of history, different culture, but the phenomena are the same.

So in terms of practically dealing with this whole fascinating part of life, of course, studying it is one thing, and that’s what your career has been about. And then in terms of thinking about how we as a species or a culture can do a better job of navigating it and admitting it into our consciousness. It does occur to me that maybe we need some kind of a different way of thinking about things. That is...rather than space and time, all of this manipulation of space and time, manipulating the past through retrocausation or manipulating the present through psychokinesis or sending telepathic messages or what have you, we could see that that’s actually kind of a product of an underlying layer of meaning. The idealists tell us that meaning—or ideas, consciousness—is the basis, and the space-time continuum—material reality—is an epiphenomenon of that. And somehow I think perhaps accepting that new worldview might be actually more important than simply developing and learning about psi phenomena and magic.

When I try to imagine what could help people get to that stage of consciousness of admitting that, of seeing things in this new way, I look back at the history of religious movements. Do you think that there could be either a revived religious movement from one or several of the Axial Age religions? Could some kind of contagious change of consciousness emerge in the modern world? Is that a possibility?

It was probably easier before there were eight and a half billion people on the planet. It is also probably easier when we’re not being confronted by multiple extinction-level events, all of which are pushing towards, from a political perspective, pushing more and more towards right-wing protectionism. And so in that kind of level of chaos, it’s not entirely clear…Take India as an example of what can be considered a more spiritual culture, and yet still with horrific problems. Or even go way back to the Greeks where they’d have the Greek mystery schools or everybody drank the Soma or whatever that was and learned about the nature of reality experientially, a mystical experience. And yet they had slaves.

So I don’t know how to resolve any of that stuff. It doesn’t seem like there’s one place in history that we can look at and say, “finally, they got it right.”So maybe that kind of churning is simply part of…of the nature of life. And in order for our species and maybe other species as well to remain resilient against change, which might be inevitable just from a planetary perspective, you need to have a certain degree of chaos and a certain degree of diversity in order to be able to survive impacts, whether they’re asteroids or something else. In which case, how do we become a more mature species? What does it even mean to become a more mature species? My guess is it’s something like a hive mind, which from a scientific perspective is almost always presented as horrific. That’s like the worst possible thing. Well, why is that? Because ego is not involved anymore. That’s why. And so can we transcend ego? Well, as long as we appear to be separate organisms, maybe not. Maybe that’s a flaw in this particular species.

Yesterday my wife and I saw a movie called Fantastic Fungi.

That’s a great movie.

Yeah. So I know Rupert Sheldrake and I remember meeting the man who wrote the book when he was like 12 or something. And so that book was a good reminder that fungi is everywhere in the planet and a very important component of the way that the biosphere works. And it’s cooperative. There are also forms of fungi that are not cooperative. They’ll fight against each other, basically. But as a whole, as a concept, the notion that there are webs of life underground, typically, occasionally become a mushroom, but mostly underground, which are sort of close to the idea in the movie Avatar that there’s something like a living bio-planet, which is intelligent. And for the creatures like us who are mushrooms or popped up on the surface, we have lost the idea. We’re not connected anymore to this web of life, which is below us, that’s normally visible to some people anyway. So maybe... the indigenous people had it right to recognition that we sort of, we dismiss it as animism. But maybe if everything is alive and we recognize that, maybe we need something in that direction to really begin to appreciate that we’re being extremely efficient in killing ourselves. And so maybe the more we learn about interconnectedness, not just interdependence, but actual interconnectedness of the sort that is like entanglement, that’s how we become mature when we recognize that is the way things are.

That makes a lot of sense. It makes probably more sense than hoping for salvation through any kind of political change, which I had originally thought that the truth about 9/11 would be such a slap in the face to the United States, the world’s most powerful empire, that it would force it to recognize that “we met the enemy. He is us.” And then it would shed some of its ego and we’d have a better world. Didn’t really work out that way. People like me who blew up everybody’s faith in mainstream media narratives paved the way for Trump. And here we are with a situation that is certainly no better, really, than it was then. And people like me are trying to still improve the world by getting out the truth about things like the Epstein oligarchy that largely rules the West through all these horrific means—including, by the way, you may have noticed in the Epstein emails, there was a reference to abusing children to produce alter personalities that would have psychic abilities. Did you see that?

I didn’t see that, but I’ve heard it.

And there is some evidence that early childhood trauma, wherever it comes from, does lead to at least hypersensitivity as adults, some of which may be psychic.

So learning the truth about all this horrible stuff, that these people who rule us are much worse than we had imagined…Is that going to lead us to a better future? Maybe, maybe not. At this point, I’ve become agnostic.

Yeah, I don’t know either. That’s why, in many ways, the... The approach that everyone takes is similar to how we feel sometimes about compassion fatigue, right? You can only push so much. And then after a while, you just say, what can I do as an individual? And so I’m not ignoring any of it by any means, but I’m focusing on my work because I feel that it’s actually important in a longer run, if we survive as a species, for us to get a better handle on what are our actual capacities. And so it may turn out we’re way stronger than we think we are, or way more powerful in a positive sense. And if that is actually true, then yeah, we need to understand these kinds of phenomena better and popularize it, which is what I do with hundreds of podcasts and my books.

Okay. That’s a good place to leave it. And I want to thank you for popularizing this incredibly important knowledge in a way that is blessed with common sense and good, solid ethics and a really good writing style as well. So your book is highly recommended. Should people buy it from Amazon or through your website?

Well, on my personal website, which is deanradin.com, I think I have eight buttons going to many, many different bookstores, whatever one you like.

Okay, deanradin.com. And I will link that at the blog for this podcast. All right. Thank you, Dean Radin. It’s been wonderful. Keep up the great work. You’re one of my heroes. God bless. And write another book. I’ll bring you back, inshallah.

Rumble link Bitchute link FouaDebate YouTube link

Foad: In the name of God, the compassionate and merciful, hello everybody, hope you are doing great. You’re watching FoaDebate. Over the past few weeks, the Middle East has witnessed a mix of intense tension and diplomatic movements. On one hand, indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. took place with both sides expressing willingness to continue the dialogue. On the other hand, the Trump administration has ramped up its maximum pressure campaign, sending naval forces to the region and threatening Iran. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was heeding to Washington to push Tel Aviv’s demands for including Iran’s missile program and regional activities in any potential agreement.

In such a heated atmosphere, the key question is, are Tehran and Washington moving forward a new deal? Or is the region on the brink of a full-scale conflict? To explore this, I sit down with Dr. Kevin Barrett, a senior American journalist and well-known political analyst. Welcome back there, Kevin Barrett.

Kevin Barrett: Thank you, Fouad. It’s good to be back with you.

You’re welcome. As I said, over the past week, we have seen two conflicting signals from the U.S. On one hand, talks in Oman and Trump’s expressing satisfaction with them. and on the other hand, an escalation in military and economic pressure. How do you interpret this duality?

Well, I think that Trump is basically conditioned by his history as a kind of a, let’s face it, a somewhat corrupt businessman and indeed a money launderer for organized crime who built up hotel chains and casinos and so on, and took a kind of a bullying approach to business negotiations. He would threaten people and pressure them and try to get the upper hand over them and then try to come out with the best deal that he could, thinking that by applying pressure, he could get better terms in a deal. And so that’s just his standard operating procedure. And for whatever reason, the foreign policy establishment is letting him do that.

But I don’t think that we should take the aircraft carriers being sent into the region at face value as preparations for necessarily for war, because frankly, I don’t think that the United States and its Israeli partner, or some would say occupier, is ready for that kind of war. As we saw during the 12-day war in June, Iran, even when taken by surprise by another dastardly surprise attack during what was supposed to be negotiations, was capable of regrouping, and its missile force was extremely formidable, forcing the Israelis to beg for the Americans to give them a face-saving way to end that war.

And since the Americans are unable to basically even disable the rocket program in Yemen by Ansar Allah—and Iran is many orders of magnitude more formidable—it seems unlikely that the American leadership is looking forward to a war that would certainly leave a large number of Americans dead with tremendous damage and the prospect of either an American defeat or an attempt to throw good money after bad money and essentially keep digging the hole deeper and deeper and deeper for another forever war, which the U.S. would have no real expectation of winning in any meaningful way.

After Trump met Netanyahu, it seemed that Trump’s statement on his platform, Truth Social, and then Netanyahu’s statement in Hebrew just before he got on the plane to go back to Israel, indicated that Netanyahu didn’t get what he wanted, which was a kind of a promise from Trump that Trump would indeed go all the way with a threatened war if Iran didn’t negotiate away its allies and its ballistic missile program, which Iran, of course, will not do.

Right. Iran has made it clear that its missile program is never up for negotiation and that uranium enrichment is its non-negotiable right. In contrast, Israel wants these issues included in any agreement and Netanyahu was heading to Washington precisely to push for that. How do you see this fundamental deadlock being broken?

I think that it is a situation in which the American leadership has to decide to what extent is it willing to damage American interests and, of course, Trump’s political interests, in service to Israel’s maximum demands. And we’ve seen the Israelis already creating all sorts of problems for American foreign policy. I’m one of many who are known for arguing that Israel was the prime force responsible for the September 11th false flag attack on America, which was designed to drag the U.S. into a war that was supposed to overthrow seven countries in five years. All of those seven countries were viewed as problematic by the Israelis. And Iran was number seven on that list, and by far the most important of those seven countries. This is all according to General Wesley Clark, who was told this shortly after the September 11th attacks by a leading neoconservative.

So the Americans allowed themselves to be dragged into that series of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere around the world. And it didn’t help the American strategic position. Now the Americans are facing serious challenges from China and Russia after squandering their resources in this endless war on behalf of the Israeli settler colony, which has become so genocidal that it’s hated everywhere in the world. And I think it’s very likely that the people around Trump are telling him this prospect of a big American war with Iran is just not going to work. You can’t get a quick victory. There’s just no way that’s going to happen. There will be great American losses. And the endgame is totally unclear.

And we’re talking about the Strait of Hormuz being closed, oil prices skyrocketing, the global economy crashing—all of this at a time when Trump’s popularity ratings are at unprecedented lows. So I think the Israelis may have bitten off more than they can chew, even though they may be applying pressure to Trump in various ways, possibly including the Epstein revelations, which are increasingly incriminating Trump. And because Zionists dominate Western media, they can hold this over Trump’s head and say, “if you don’t do what we tell you, we can bring you down. We can suddenly start taking seriously all of these horrific allegations against you.”

So Trump is sort of caught between a rock and a hard place. But the American military leadership around Trump knows that a big war with Iran would be a loser for the United States empire at a time when it is becoming increasingly fragile. And so I think that the chances are quite strong that the Americans will back off this time and, in fact, defy Israeli orders. And that’s, of course, an unusual and actually kind of refreshing development considering the way things have gone in the past.

Right. Thank you so much. You know, some analysts believe that Trump’s approach toward Iran is essentially a one-shot deal rooted in a transactional mindset. However, other experts argue that Washington’s ultimate goal isn’t an agreement at all, but rather risk management and long-term containment of Iran. Which scenario do you find more likely?

Yeah, that’s an interesting question. I think that Trump personally does think very transactionally. And he would be likely to personally favor any kind of agreement that can be cast as providing some sort of advantage to the United States and, of course, to himself. So the strategists behind Trump, that is the professional class of empire managers, they’re thinking probably more in terms of long term containment as they have in previous decades. But it could be that given the fact that Trump does have a certain amount of autocratic power in the current situation, it is conceivable that some kind of deal could be framed that would appeal to Trump’s transactional interests. Perhaps there would be some sort of economic deal, American investment, something that looks good from the economic side. And that would give Trump the face-saving ability to back down from these ridiculous Israeli demands that Iran negotiate away its rocket program and its allies, which again, it will not do.

But Iran doesn’t really want nuclear weapons. So it’s not like Iran has any reason to not find some sort of compromise agreement, essentially a new framing of what was achieved with the JCPOA, but of course with some sort of guarantee that the next American administration won’t just blow that up too. And that could be then sold to Trump by way of some sort of economic deal.

And the question is, does Iran really want to do that? Or would Iran really be better off in the long run possibly opting for an alliance with China rather than trying to reintegrate itself with the West? This is, of course, a question that the best minds in Iran are thinking about, and they probably have a better approach to it than I do.

Right. Some sources suggest that the war option is losing popularity among the American public and that there is a kind of strategic fatigue in Washington. On the other side, Iran insists it does not seek war but will respond decisively if provoked. In your view, how are both sides calculating to avoid a deadly miscalculation?

That’s another very interesting question, because miscalculation could be extremely deadly in this case. Americans are quite averse to losing their service members. And in this particular case, if there is a major U.S. attack on Iran, depending on how much damage it caused, there would be somewhere between a few dead American service members and a very large number, possibly well into the thousands, even tens of thousands are at risk. And the American public is not ready for that. And so the from the American perspective the prospect of a long-term serious war with Iran is really a non-starter. That is, there is enough war fatigue that the American people are just not going to be giving their consent to that kind of war that would involve a lot of casualties, that would go on with exchanges of (bombings and) rocket fire at American bases and ships.

Of course, Israel would be heavily pounded. Iran has said it doesn’t distinguish between the US and Israel. So if there was a US attack, Israel would still be pounded just in the way it was in June.

And the American public is not ready for that. What they are willing to put up with is Trump making crazy threats, doing quick one-and-done crazy operations like kidnapping President Maduro of Venezuela, which may have caused as many problems as it solved from the American standpoint.

But there is no such quick one-and-done approach to Iran. There are reports that Trump actually proposed such a thing to Iran and said, let us hit a couple of targets, we’ll tell you what we’re going to hit, then you hit a couple of our targets, nobody gets hurt, and then we’ll be done. And Iran said, no, I’m sorry, we’re not doing that.

So I think Iran actually has the upper hand here. And how that plays out remains to be seen. But again, I wouldn’t be surprised if some kind of revived JCPOA happens and that Trump comes up with some way to camouflage the fact that he’s walked right back into essentially the same JCPOA that he tore up when he came into office in 2016. And to camouflage that, he’ll have to come up with basically some wonderful deal that everybody makes money at. And I think that’s probably an actual possibility. So I would say there’s at least a 50-50 chance that that could happen.

Considering all the current circumstances, what is your overall assessment of the future? Are we closer to war or to a deal?

As I said, I think we might be a little bit over 50% closer to a deal. But one should never underestimate the power and craziness of the Zionist extremists led by Netanyahu and the lobby that he largely controls, or at least coordinates, within the United States. The extremist wing of the genocidal Zionist project has grown in power over the decades, and it now dominates the Zionist project in occupied Palestine and also in the United States, in the West in general. And those people realize that Iran has won and that the survival and eventually the thriving of the Islamic Republic under a new post-American empire world will spell the end of their hopes to create this greater Israel project involving destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque, invading more and more neighbors, stealing more and more land, accelerating the genocide of Palestine—that all of that cannot continue in a post-U.S.-empire world with a strong Iran.

And so they would like to see the United States and Iran both damage each other seriously. They don’t care about the United States. And from their perspective, Iran is their biggest problem. as it has been ever since the days of September 11th when the Israelis blew up the World Trade Center in order to try to destroy seven countries in five years, with Iran being the most important.

But they’ve only managed to badly damage six countries in 25 years, and Iran is still standing strong, and inshallah, it will continue to stand strong.

Thank you so much. If you would like to add something more, all ears.

I guess all I can say is that the genocide in Gaza that has horrified the world over the past few years has had very few heroes besides the Palestinians themselves. But the Iranian leadership, which has been willing to make sacrifices and make itself a target in order to do the right thing and to support the Palestinian people against this genocide, is heroic. And so I really think everybody in Iran needs to remember that, that whatever else they may think about the various issues domestically and internationally, that Iran and the Ansarullah movement in Yemen and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon are the real heroes of our time in terms of resisting this genocide.

E. Michael Jones of Culture Wars breaks down the week's news...starting with the looming confrontation between the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the degenerate Zioligarchy that rules the West. Partial transcript:

Kevin Barrett: Welcome to False Flag Weekly News, the weekly news show that just keeps on digging deeper into what’s really going on in the world, as it all gets exposed by some kind of weird Hegelian dialectic…I don’t know (about that) but the guy who does know is my co-host Dr. E. Michael Jones of Culture Wars. Hey Mike, how are you doing?

E. Michael Jones: Good. Good to be here.

Yeah, it’s weird. It’s like every time you come back, it’s kind of the same, it’s the same but different, right? Like the Epstein story never goes away. The war on Iran by the Epstein oligarchy that runs the West never goes away. And the noticing just keeps on happening...And so anyway, let’s listen to our PSAs. Okay, it’s Valentine’s Day. So give us some love. Send us some money. Well, wait a minute. Love and money, it’s not the same. Anyway, we have some breaking news, Mike. Did you see that Satan has joined the Board of Peace? He will be reporting to his boss, Bibi Netanyahu, I guess.

And more breaking news, the conspiracy theorists were right. It turns out that the moon was an inside job. This is the New York Times science section.

So that just goes to show it’s not just Epstein. Conspiracy theorists were right about everything.

And finally, I don’t know if you’ve been watching Jake TV, Mike. Have you seen this?

No, I haven’t seen it.

(Watch the full 11:34 JakeTV satirical video at my Substack, reproduced for educational purposes only. Please note that laughing may be illegal in some jurisdictions.)

Jake TV: Breaking news. The FBI has just dropped three and a half million documents in the Epstein files mentioning Goyim, pizza and grape soda.

Oh, wow. Probably has nothing to do with Israel. Our greatest ally.

Of course not. Who doesn’t like pizza?

Exactly.

John, break it down for us.

Chloe and Michael, good morning. Let’s just ask the FBI. How do you like your pizza and grape soda? “Christian white ones only. As young as it gets.” WTF?!

…Okay, happy birthday, Islamic Iran. It was the birthday of the Islamic Republic this week. And so we’ve got these birthday cards. I can’t believe that Elon allows Grok to make birthday cards for the Islamic Republic, Mike.

Yes, it’s part of the strategy here. He wants controversy and there’s nothing more controversial than Iran at this moment. So I think that’s part of the strategy.

There you go. Yeah, I was kind of surprised when Grok did that. So anyway, over in Iran, there were 25 million people in the streets supporting the Islamic Republic on the occasion of its anniversary. And you and I have been in the midst of these crowds. It wasn’t just in Tehran, by the way, but there were actually some like there was a medium size city that had this gigantic crowd. Anyway, so you’ve been in the thick of these crowds, just like I have, Mike. Do you believe this stuff in the Western media that all the Iranian people hate their government?

Yes, Mike Huckabee said it. They said the Iranians want to kill us. So it must be true if Mike Huckabee said it.

But I was in the protest in first time. And I was surrounded by women in chodors who were chanting, Magh Barg Amariku, death to America. Although I’m told that there’s nuance in Farsi that maybe it doesn’t mean quite that. But anyway, surrounded. And I was the only guy in Tehran wearing a tie. So I began, someone came up to me and said, are you an American? And I thought, maybe I better say I’m a Canadian. So I said, yeah, but I said, yes, I’m an American. And he said, well, I’d like to go to America. So this whole idea that the Iranians want to kill you is false. I experienced it firsthand. I was not killed.

When we got back, were you in the bus with me when they took us there? We were surrounded by a mob in that bus. They were plastered…I did feel that my life was in danger there. I thought it was gonna be crushed by the crowd at one moment. And that passed and then we were in the bus and the bus was completely surrounded by people. There were no police, there were no nothing. And if they wanted to overturn the bus, they could have, they could have set it on fire. We all would have died in the bus, but they didn’t. So that was my witness. We somehow survived.

And you were even wearing a tie, which is actually in Iranian revolutionary sartorial correctness, ties are not exactly de rigueur. They’re seen as…like it’s the imperialists and the Zionists that lead you around by the neck. That’s their cultural interpretation. But they still are not going to lynch you just because you’re wearing a tie. Actually, they like Americans. They just don’t like our Zionist occupied government. And I don’t either.

Right. And they can make a distinction which some people cannot make.

Indeed, yeah. Iran is a pretty sophisticated country. It’s pretty cool. And the Islamic Republic is a pretty cool system. I actually just wrote about that. But here’s the film of the march of the millions. And, of course, the usual suspects are saying, “oh, it’s got to be AI. Because we know the Iranian people don’t like their government.” There are a lot of Iranians who actually are very proud of their Islamic Republic. But they don’t like Epstein. They don’t like sacrificing children.

But before the Islamic revolution, this is what Iran looked like. Actually, have you seen these Internet memes where the anti-Iran people try to post all these trendy Western people?

No, this is fake. They didn’t look that way. It didn’t look that way. I’ve seen miniskirts, okay, in pre-Islamic Revolution Iran, but I’ve never seen people working at computers in their bathing suits because those computers didn’t exist in the 1970s.

Yeah. Okay. But here’s an authentic picture of a fun, freedom-loving couple biking around on their motorbike in Tehran before the Islamic revolution ruined all their fun. And there they are. They look familiar.

Actually, do you know who was there in ? Michel Foucault was there.

Yeah, but he couldn’t find the bathhouses, so he left and he went back to San Francisco.

Well, Michel Foucault showed up and didn’t have the categories that would allow him to understand what was going on. He thought it was going to be staged by the Marquis de Sade. And so he didn’t know what to say. He went there. He was there right at the moment, at the moment. He was sent there by a French newspaper, and he didn’t know what to say. And he went to San Francisco after that and died doing what he loved.

Indeed, indeed. Well, actually the stuff Foucault wrote about the Iranian revolution is actually less stupid than most of the stuff from the other Western philosophers, for whatever that’s worth. And here’s the Shah Jr., the wannabe Shah…it’s it’s just unbelievable that these Western regime change people think (Iranians want another shah).

I think the significance is that finally, Iranians finally undid the playbook. The playbook began with the overthrow of Mossadegh. They’ve been doing the same thing over and over and over again. They tried it again this time with these Mossad agents who mixed in with the demonstrators in Iran at these fake demonstrations. And Iran, with the help of Russia, I think, figured out how to do it. They shut down Starlink. It turns out that Starlink was absolutely essential to those demonstrations that were calculated to overthrow the government. They reverse engineered Starlink and found out who was downloading it and apprehended them and put an end to the counter-revolution. This is the first time I think that anyone has really dealt with the real grammar of these color revolutions and thwarted them from the inside.

Well, there have been some other color revolutions that failed. But yeah, this may be the most spectacular failure—and the most important, because Iran was the number seven on the list of seven countries in five years that 9/11 was designed to overturn. And now it’s been six countries in 25 years and number seven is not going away. And that may be the one that dooms the Zionist entity.

All right, moving on to the clownery in the White House. Speaking of the clown in the White House and the Zionist entity, here’s Netanyahu visiting Trump for the seventh time amid more threats of a U.S. attack on Iran. And I don’t know if you saw John Mersheimer’s discussion of this with Judge Napolitano, but it was quite good. John Mersheimer, the eminent realist political scientist, says that he thinks this meeting didn’t go very well for Netanyahu.

Now, Netanyahu absolutely does not want a return to any kind of nuclear deal. And Trump and his people are saying that’s the only alternative. There’s really no military solution to this. And so if you read between the lines, you read what Trump said on Truth Social, and you look at what Netanyahu said, especially in Hebrew at his press conference on the way back to Israel, and the upshot is that it’s very likely that the Americans actually do want to get back into essentially a new JCPOA, and the Israelis are not going to like it.

Yeah, I saw that report by Mersheimer. I think it’s right. I think that Trump does not want to go to war here. I think that’s significant. Apparently he offered them the same deal that he offered before, namely “pick out two targets, we’ll let you hit them, we’ll hit something, you hit something, and then I’ll declare victory and then we’ll move on.” But apparently the Iranians wouldn’t go along with it this time. So this time it’s backed by an Iran that has been rearming ever since the 12-day war in June. The Chinese pulled into the Persian Gulf with their most advanced electronic warfare ship. The Russians, as I said, aided them in blocking Starlink. So it’s a completely different configuration. And I think even the most rabid hawk in the Pentagon has to realize you’re not going to win. You’re not going to win this war.

Yeah, that’s what they’re telling him. And Trump sees that his popularity is sort of at an all-time low right now. Probably not a good time to start a losing forever war…

I think that the categories have become obsolete: It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat because you’re both getting money from AIPAC and AIPAC is determining our foreign policy. That’s been the status quo. And if Trump goes along with it, he will destroy himself. We know that now. I think even he knows that in his kind of a narcissistic fantasy of himself. Even he knows that. And he doesn’t need any more money. Money is diminishing returns now with AIPAC. Trump’s got so much money. He couldn’t possibly spend it. He’d have to live another hundred years to even make a dent on all the money that he has. So what hold does AIPAC money have on him? None. None. None.

So that’s the problem. You’ve got a point where it’s all wearing off. The whole victim card, the whole Holocaust narrative, the whole money thing, the whole control thing is all breaking down now. And it’s becoming counterproductive. The more they insist on it, the more the pushback. You find people like Fishbeck in Florida rising to the occasion on a totally anti-Jewish platform, basically. Same thing with Massey, a guy who’s standing up, who’s going to be reelected, beating AIPAC. Mamdami, another instance…

But first, the big story this week, as in seemingly most weeks, is this endless Epstein explosion. It just keeps going off. It keeps detonating. And this week…well, here’s a discussion of the term goyim that recurs throughout the Epstein files… (video)…

So people are starting to notice things from these Epstein files. It’s out of control. They released, what, three million, leaving three million to go before they get to the magic six million.

Pam Bondi has a series of meltdowns on the floor of Congress. Did you see Bondi’s performance, Mike? That was pretty hilarious. She starts ranting about the Dow Jones is up. Forget Epstein. She starts ranting about how Trump is the greatest president we ever had. You should get down to your knees and apologize to him. And on and on and on. Anything but address the issue at hand. It was rather hilarious.

Yeah, so we’re going to be inundated with the problem with the Internet. You get inundated with too much information. And so the categories are important. The categories you bring to are very important, extremely important. And the one category they don’t want you to bring to this now is the Jews.

So you have a question like, what could possibly Noam Chomsky have to do with Jeffrey Epstein? They’re two completely different people. Aren’t they? I thought they were.

What comes out is this kind of Jew-to-Jew candor throughout the Epstein files. It’s not only Noam Chomsky. Another famous scholar, David Galanter, a professor at Yale, the world’s smartest Jew, who wrote a book about America as the world’s fourth religion. He turns out to be a pimp. I don’t want to insult pimps or anything.

Anyway, he offers this really cute young girl or something like that to Jeffrey Epstein. So what’s the common denominator? This is an intra-Jewish conversation about the Goyim. And let’s see if we can drag the Goyim into situations where they will compromise themselves. Because I know a nice-looking 20-year-old girl from Yale who would like to meet you. And she’s blonde and she’s a shiksa. Blonde, a shiksa. Oh, there’s another shiksa. There’s another blonde shiksa. Bondi’s got her work cut out for her defending these people. That’s for sure. Trying to cover this up.

So, oh, and now the peasants are rising up with the pitchforks. Here’s a guy with a pitchfork coming after Desantis:

You’re covering up for bleeping pedophiles. You’re a bleeping pedophile.

And then how about this guy?

You know, whenever somebody says that maybe it’s time to move on from the Epstein files, I’m always like, great. I totally agree. I think we should have moved on to the public execution phase of this a long time ago. So like, what’s the hold up? Do we not have enough wood chippers? I’ll donate.

So the peasants are rising up with the pitchforks. And this Young Turk guy, Cenk, whatever his name is, the Uyghur, no relation to the Chinese Muslim dissident genocide victims or whatever the heck they’re supposed to be. But anyway, he’s on board with 9/11 truth now. Five million views on his 9/11 truth tweet. He’s getting towards the magic six million. Great.

Cenk…By the way, Cenk, I’d like to come on your show and ask you why you condemned me quoting the ADL. Are you still a conduit for ADL slander against me? This is when I went on and did my show with Jason Whitlock. Immediately after Jason Whitlock, after the show’s over, a barrage of ugly articles and posts came on. And there was Cenk leading the charge, quoting the ADL. “E. Michael Jones is an anti-Semite. He’s a crank, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” Which Chank are we talking about here?

Well, he was I think he was anti-9/11-conspiracy theorist, too. So he owes us both an apology. We’ve got to both go on his show and talk about this with him. But again, the conspiracy theorists are winning. It’s no longer considered strange to be a little bit paranoid. Thomas Massey has every right to say, “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.”

Thomas Massey: “I’m not suicidal. I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point at anyone including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and I’m a pretty good swimmer.”

So Thomas Massey felt the need to tweet that. I think the conspiracy theorists are winning, Mike.

I would say truth is great and it will prevail. The truth is inexorable. Because as Aristotle said, the human mind does not rest until it rests in the truth. So that’s what we have. That’s what’s driving the zeitgeist right now. So I guess there is a sense in which we’re winning.

Press TV: For more on that, we’re joined by Kevin Barrett from Saidia, Morocco. Mr. Barrett, give us your overall thoughts on the questioning at Capitol Hill of Attorney General Pam Bondi. U.S. Democratic lawmakers have echoed a similar sentiment that we’ve been hearing for a while now, that in this case Attorney General Pam Bondi is siding with the perpetrators and not the victims.

Kevin Barrett: That shouldn’t be surprising. Pam Bondi had a reputation as a mobbed-up lawyer and prosecutor during her career in Florida. And the fact that Trump chose her as his attorney general tells you everything you need to know about Donald Trump and his lifelong service for the Kosher Nostra, the organized crime organization that’s so strong in New York City that used Trump as a money launderer throughout his career.

And these hearings illustrate the extent to which the United States government has turned into a complete clown show. In this case, Pam Bondi was the one with the big red rubber nose, saying the most ridiculous things. Every time she was asked a specific question, she would respond something along the lines of, “you’re a washed up horrible former lawyer, and why aren’t you getting down on your knees and kissing Donald Trump’s feet? Because he’s the greatest president that this country has ever had.” Over and over and over she would respond like this. A five-year-old could do a better job.

But getting to the serious issues here, clearly the questioners are right. Bondi has rather incompetently been siding with the perpetrators, not the victims. She wouldn’t even look at the victims that were lined up right behind her during this hearing. And she presided over the release of only half of these six million Epstein files. And she presided over the redaction of the names of perpetrators, not victims. The names of dozens of victims were allowed to slip into the public domain, while perpetrator after perpetrator after perpetrator was blacked out.

And it’s hard to tell to what extent this is total incompetence or whether perhaps there is dissension in the Justice Department as some of the lower level people who are charged with going over these files are so horrified by what they see, which essentially indicates that the United States is run by an Israeli Mossad blackmail ring that traffics these young girls to powerful figures and uses the networking power of the billionaire Zionist class that rules the West to continue to subordinate the United States, a country of more than 300 million people, to this tiny little genocidal settler colony squatting in occupied Palestine.

And unfortunately, none of the questioners, not even Thomas Massie, were brave enough to point out the elephant in the living room here, which is that the Epstein blackmail ring was run by Israeli intelligence designed to gather compromising material on powerful Americans and other people worldwide in order to perpetuate the rule of this corrupt criminal genocidal state over the West.

Press TV: And what about the other half, I could say? It’s around three million other documents that may never be released. What does that say about the initial claim of transparency, which was one of the campaign mottos and slogans that Donald Trump ran on?

That’s right. The deadline for the release of all six million Epstein files was December, late December. And so they released only a tiny fraction before the deadline, and they still have only released about half.

You know, the West as a place where there’s supposed to be rule of law has turned into a complete joke. You can be jailed in the West for suggesting that only five million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine Jews were gassed to death during World War II because you’re one short of the holy, sacred, mythical six million figure. But if the law says you have to release all six million Epstein files, you’re allowed to make it three million instead and hide the other three million.

What could possibly be in these other three million? We’ve seen the horrors in the ones that they’ve released, which completely indict the entire Western ruling class in this horrific abuse of young girls, and hint at much, much worse.

So I don’t know if we’re ever going to see the unredacted version of what’s left in these three million files that are supposed to be and should have been released a month and a half ago. All of these Justice Department people who haven’t released them need to go to jail. But whatever is in them, it must be beyond belief.

President Donald J. Trump is a cornered political animal. In recent days he has come under attack from several directions. The president has been issuing fumbling non-apologies-just-excuses for tweeting an AI video depicting the Obamas as apes. His aides have denied that he defecated in his pants while signing an executive order. They likewise deny that Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico “expressed concerns about Trump’s psychological state” which seemed “dangerous” when they met in Florida January 17.

The volley of negative news threatens to accelerate Trump’s dip in popularity following the collapse of his ICE war on the Twin Cities. Potentially even worse news for Trump is the January 30 Epstein files dump. My forthcoming American Free Press article (to get first access to the full article, subscribe) ends:

For many Americans, the most disturbing revelations in Epstein files involve President Donald J. Trump. Prior to the files’ release, we already knew that Trump flew on Epstein’s jet at least eight times, was referred to by Epstein as his “best friend,” sent a birthday drawing to Epstein depicting a barely pubescent naked girl alluding to their “secret,” and has been accused of raping 13-year-old “Katie Johnson” in 1994 at an Epstein party and then threatening to kill the girl and her family. The first Epstein dump also contained FBI witness reports that Trump was present when a baby was drowned in Lake Michigan, and was implicated in the rape and murder of a certain Dusty Rhea Duke in 2000.

The new Epstein files release includes FBI witness reports that Trump was involved in murdering three girls who were buried at Mar-a-Lago and threatening the witness with a similar fate. Witnesses also told the FBI that Trump auctioned underage girls from his swimsuit contests, measuring their vulvas and rating them for tightness. Trump is also accused of forcing oral sex and other abuses against 13 and 14 year old girls.

Meanwhile the mainstream media chant in unison: “President Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing.” Obviously they will change their tune, and suddenly discover the FBI files, if and when Trump stops following Israel’s orders.

And Israel wants Trump to attack Iran.

That puts Trump between a proverbial rock and a hard place. Attacking Iran would invite disaster: Dead American servicemen, Israel riddled with rocket strikes, US escalation leading to even more dead servicemen and rocket strikes, ad infinitum. Such a war would be a strategic fiasco for the US empire and a political fiasco for Trump.

But if Trump refuses to attack Iran, he’ll get Epsteined. The media will magically discover that Trump actually has been accused of serious wrongdoing, and at least some of the accusations (including whatever comes out in the next Epstein dump) are credible.

No wonder Trump is sh*tting in his presidential pants.

But presidents, unlike the rest of us, have a magical solution that can solve all their problems and then some: They can push the button and watch the planet, and all their troubles, go up in billowing fireballs. For a 79-year-old megalomaniac with both verbal and anal incontinence problems, that “solution” might sound tempting. No wonder Fico is worried.

How did we get into this mess?

To start with, we let the world’s craziest Jews, the Likudnik neocons, blow up the World Trade Center and blame their enemies. That repeated the mistake made in 1963, another spectacular coup by the same crowd.

Letting the unhinged, blatantly narcissistic Kosher Nostra frontman carnival barker Trump anywhere near the Oval Office was almost as monumental a mistake. Hua Bin is right that a “democracy” that produces leaders like Trump (and most of the rest of them) would be better off canceling elections and finding a better way to identify and insert virtuous leaders into office.

Hua Bin notes that many columnists at the Unz Review, where we both publish, fell for Trump’s all-too-obvious BS:

In the 2024 election, many former Trump critics – both writers and readers on Unz Review – turned into Trump supporters with glowing endorsement of his policy promises and real enthusiasm for the changes they expect him to bring. Compared with Biden and Harris, Trump was not just considered the lesser of the two evils…His campaign promised domestic focus to address immigration issues and wokism. He promised reindustrializing the country and bring jobs back…Trump vowed to end foreign wars and stop military interventions/regime changes…These Unz writers and readers voted for Trump and couldn’t wait to let the world know how Trump was going to be great for the good old USA. They congratulated themselves as smart voters.

I have never been a Trump supporter, never voted for him, and have been calling him a sociopathic narcissist and likely Kosher Nostra asset since 2016. Though I admittedly have occasionally found him amusing and even refreshing in his lack of hypocrisy and willingness to say transgressive things, a few of which are actually worth saying—I have no use for the anti-Trump establishment either—I’ve never been anywhere near the MAGA bandwagon, which in a few years will be the equivalent of saying “I was never a gullible idiot.”

Repentant Ex-Trump Supporter Jim Fetzer Admits I Was Right

But as Hua Bin writes, many Trump supporters aren’t exactly idiots, IQ-wise. Take Jim Fetzer. Though he has been accused of lapses in judgment, Jim is an accomplished philosophy professor with a mind capable of holding and parsing unusually large bodies of information. Jim’s uninhibited brilliance and his quick-witted volubility and responsiveness as a public speaker made him a good commentator on my False Flag Weekly News show…until Trump came along.

In December 2015, I basically fired Jim Fetzer from False Flag Weekly News. He had annoyed me by letting his enthusiasm for then-candidate Donald Trump run haywire on a live broadcast of FFWN. Here is what happened: I was in Paris to crash an academic Islamophobia conference that disinvited me at the last minute due to fears of looking “radical/antisemitic/conspiratorial” in the wake of the 11/13/2015 Bataclan false flag. Then on December 7, Trump proposed a “complete ban on Muslims entering the US.” I assumed that all 9/11 truthers understood that all of the well known “Islamic terror attacks” were false flags designed to incite Islamophobia, and would revile Trump as a tool of the 9/11-perp neocons. But Jim, and many others, surprised me.

Jim and I had agreed that if I found good internet access in Paris we would do the show normally, with both of us, whereas if I didn’t, Jim was prepared to go it alone. I found a place to do the show. But when Jim and I met up in cyberspace to broadcast, he tried to persuade me to disconnect and let him deliver an hour-long monologue. Of course I declined, having gone to considerable effort to set up the broadcast. Jim’s insistence on doing the show alone, rather than together as we always did, disconcerted me. Then once we started, I grew even more annoyed when he wouldn’t let me get a word in edgewise. Jim delivered a full-throated pro-Trump rant, including positive remarks about the “Muslim ban.” I cursed him out on the air, and that was the end of Jim’s stint as my regular partner on FFWN. (The producer, the late Allan Rees, encouraged Jim’s departure from the show because Allan was afraid Jim wasn’t careful enough about potentially libelous utterances…which proved prophetic a few years later when Sandy Hooker Lenny Pozner sued Jim and won.)

I subsequently apologized to Jim for cursing him out, and we remained friends, despite various differences of opinion, over the years. From 2006 through 2023 we lived in Wisconsin within an hour’s drive of each other, and did innumerable 9/11 events together, including quite a few road trips. Even after the 2015 FFWN fiasco, we would occasionally get together at an event or a meal and always enjoyed each others’ company. (Jim is one of several people I know whose internet presence one could easily find “irritating if not insane” if one disagrees with them, but who turn out to be enjoyable company once one meets them in person.)

Since the lawsuit-shy Allan Rees passed away in December 2020, I have been occasionally inviting Jim Fetzer to join me on False Flag Weekly News—most recently for yesterday’s show. Though 85 years old now, Jim is (in my humble opinion) sharper than ever…or at least sharper than he’s been since 2015, because, lo and behold, he’s finally seen through Trump! Watch the new FFWN to hear Jim’s frank and forthright admission that I was right all along about the senile Kosher Nostra narcissist who may or may not blow up the world in hopes of making the Epstein files go away. Bonus: You’ll also hear me admitting that Jim was right about something…watch and find out what that was.

Press TV: Welcome, everyone. Now, more than three million pages of records by the U.S. Justice Department in a high-profile sex trafficking case has shed light on dozens of powerful figures allegedly connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, exposing links to political leaders, royals, diplomats, and corporate elites across multiple continents and their illegal escapades with underage girls. U.S. President Donald Trump Former President Bill Clinton, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Tesla’s Elon Musk, UK’s Prince Andrew, UK ambassador to the US Peter Mendelsohn, France’s Emmanuel Macron and officials from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, Slovakia and all throughout West Asia.

But a peculiar number of files lead straight to Tel Aviv. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is shown to have stayed at Epstein’s New York apartment on multiple occasions. It’s this intimate relationship and money transfers involving the two of them driving speculation which will be the focus of the spotlight program.

But first, here’s a quick report. This is not only a story of a pedophile, sex trafficker and a predator. This is also a story of blackmail, power and foreign influence. The explosive new FBI memo alleges not only that Jeffrey Epstein worked with Mossad, but U.S. President Donald Trump was even compromised by Israel, with Jared Kushner described as the real brains behind the operation.

The claims are fueling a firestorm. The memo links Abstein directly to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, a former military intelligence chief who visited Epstein’s home dozens of times. These revelations come as pressure builds from Epstein’s survivors and U.S. critics, including Tucker Carlson, who openly questions if Epstein was running a Mossad blackmail operation:

And moreover, it’s extremely obvious to anyone who watches that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government. Now, no one’s allowed to say that that foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed.

The memo also references Epstein’s 2008 sweetheart plea deal where prosecutor Alex Acosta was told that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and to back off. This pattern of protection continues to date in order to keep the truth hidden:

Your memo and release yesterday on Jeffrey Epstein, it left some lingering mysteries. One of the biggest ones is whether he ever worked for an American or foreign intelligence agency. The former labor secretary, who was Miami U.S. attorney, Alex Costa, he allegedly said that he did work for an intelligence agency. So could you resolve whether or not he did? And also, could you say why there was a minute missing from the jailhouse tape?

Yeah, sure.

Trump (irritated): Could I just interrupt for a second? Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years.

The released FBI document provides official weight to long-circulating theories. It paints a picture of a compromised U.S. political system where a convicted sex trafficker may have acted as a tool for a foreign ally’s influence, raising grave questions about who truly holds power in Washington.

He wasn’t one of ours. So he was an American, which leads basically three options, MI6, Saudi, or Mossad.

Yep.

Which one would you choose?

I guess Mossad, given his connection to Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Justice Department and FBI have stated no further significant evidence will be released—a move that has only deepened public suspicion and demands for full transparency.

For now, the official record contains a shocking allegation. America’s most infamous predator was an asset of the Israeli regime. And now for our guests for the program. Joining us is Kevin Barrett from Geneva. And also Mr. John Bosnitch, journalist, activist, and political analyst, out of Fredericton, Canada.

Hello, gentlemen. Pleasure to have you both join us on our spotlight program. Dr. Barrett, we’ll start with you out there in Geneva. Good to have you. I hope you’re safe and doing well. Your thoughts, please, on all the speculation that Epstein was some kind of intel operative that went on on his island has produced too many files and pictures, over million in just this last release, for it to be just one man’s personal archives or chronicles or personal trove.

Kevin Barrett: Well, I’ve been among a small number of people that’s been growing over the years that has been calling Jeffrey Epstein an obvious Israeli Mossad blackmailer since around 2008. I’ve been interviewing people like Nick Bryant, author of the wonderful book The Franklin Scandal, which everybody needs to read to understand how horrifically compromised our political class is in the United States. I’ve long been interviewing Nick Bryant and other very brave journalists who have helped break this story ever since that sham trial in which Alex Acosta gave Epstein a sweetheart deal because he was with intelligence.

And just as I’ve been screaming from the rooftops since late 2003 about 9/11, it’s been the same kind of situation with the Epstein scandal. But the difference is that he did get arrested and some of the victims were brave enough to insist that some kind of justice be done. And so we’ve been slowly moving towards exposure of these crimes.

But the real story that the mainstream media has been ignoring is that it’s been thunderingly obvious that the Epstein sex blackmail ring, pedophile ring, if you will, has been blackmailing powerful Americans and other people around the world for the state of Israel. And you’re not allowed to say that in the mainstream media in the West. Partisans of the state of Israel, who are mostly Jewish-supremacist oligarchs who are fanatically loyal to their fellow Jewish Zionists, control our media. They’ve bought up most of our media, and they’ve ensured that nobody can get near the truth of issues like 9/11—which is also a Mossad job, not an inside job—or the reality of the Epstein Israeli blackmail operation.

And now it’s been forced upon the attention of the American public. People like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and others with huge audiences are talking about it openly. And I really wonder whether (when?) the American people are going to wake up and turn against their Israeli overlords.

Thank you there, Dr. Barrett. John Bosnitch, thanks for your patience, pal, and welcome to the conversation. John, you take his role on Jeffrey Epstein and the Israeli regime connections. There are mentions about other officials from different countries that received money through some kind of transaction with Jeffrey Epstein, but it was Ehud Barak that acted as a liaison to funnel money from Epstein to a number of politicians throughout the planet, which raises a bunch of red flags. Your initial thoughts, please.

John Bosnitch: Well, first of all, I support and underline every word of your previous guest. As far as I’ve been able to determine, everything he says has been true. And it has been true not just recently, but for a good many years. So we have a situation in which we’re talking about the Epstein files, which are not the Epstein files. They are the Mossad files. And... This misinterpretation of identities is critical to maintaining the lie. We have a prince, a former prince, known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Well, OK, he was one of the main culprits raping underage girls at the sex honeypot set up by Mossad. But let’s look at Andrew himself, his own identity. Well, his first family name, Mountbatten, is not Mountbatten. It’s Battenberg, a European royal family that changed their name to Mountbatten to make it palatable to the English people who were at war with Germany. His other family name, Windsor, is not, of course, his family name. That is Saxa-Coburg-Gotta, which was changed in World War I.

So you have a man who is no longer a prince. We know he’s a rapist. And he has two family names, which have both been changed. But that’s no surprise, because the Maxwell Mossad operation was founded by Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of highly decorated, nationally celebrated Mossad super spy, Bob Maxwell. But of course, that was not his name. His name was Jan Binyamin Hoch. And he had no English identity whatsoever.

So you have an entire scenario of royals with fake names, bankers with fake names, but the name Jan Benjamin Hoch brings us back to the old German term Hochjuden, or high Jews. And these were the Jewish bankers who financed the bankrupt noblemen and aristocracy of Germany, many of whom have moved to England.

So you have a web of corruption and money that goes back not just to the latest operation with Maxwell and Epstein and Mossad, but back for generations.

Thank you there, John. Now, Kevin, one email suggests that Russian opposition figure Ilya Ponomatov could replace Vladimir Putin, calling him an uprising organizer. Now, a separate message also stated that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was, quote-unquote, seeking help and described him as being run by Israelis. Now, this is all according to Epstein’s notes. My question to you, does a normal person... who is just some eccentric party animal billionaire, speak of coups and puppet presidents, if he is not an operative or involved in some kind of intel apparatus?

Kevin Barrett: That’s one of the mind-blowing things about these files. Many of us had thought that Epstein was essentially just a guy that some Israeli intelligence people had spotted as a talented seducer of young females. And so the Mega group, which is a group of Jewish billionaires who are essentially Mossad agents, or sayanam, which means volunteer Mossad agents, here in the United States, discovered Epstein and groomed him. They sheep dipped him. They gave him a job as a high school math teacher. They then pumped a billion dollars into his bank account and called him an investment advisor, but essentially what he mainly did was sexual blackmail for the Mossad.

And so we didn’t realize that he was quite this connected. Because as he did his sexual blackmail, his job was to establish personal relationships with the most powerful people that he could find. So he moved in all of these circles,but apparently he was used to broker various Israeli agreements and deals and various kinds of corrupt wheelings and dealings with very high-level people in many countries all over the world.

You mentioned Ukraine. Then there was also India. The Israelis have put a lot of effort into trying to corrupt India’s government, and indeed they have. They’ve used Indian intelligence to do false flag operations that benefit both Mossad and the fanatical Islamophobic Hindu faction in India, and Epstein was in the thick of that, and many other sensitive international operations.

So it turns out that he was actually even more active of an Israeli spy than most of us had suspected. Yes, his main job was sexual blackmail. But on top of that, because he had all these contacts, he was used for high-level power brokering as well.

And so it’s really kind of astounding that this is all being exposed at a moment when the state of Israel is trying to once again hijack the U.S. government to go into the West Asia region and wage a war on behalf of genocidal Zionist expansionism. That’s why they blew up the Trade Center on 9/11—to hijack the American military and go into West Asia and try to take out seven countries in five years. Well, now they’ve taken out six in 25 years, and the (long-delayed) seventh is Iran. Israel is pushing as hard as it can to try to hijack the American military once again and do its dirty work by having a war with Iran, and they’re pressuring Trump. And suddenly all these files are being released. So what the agenda is here isn’t entirely clear, but it’s certainly interesting that this Mega/Mossad operation has been exposed at this particular historical juncture.

Interesting stuff there. And John, I’d like to put the same thing to you. Another interesting development in these emails shows Epstein and Emirati businessperson Sultan Ahmed bin Suleiman discussing using former MI6 and Mossad agents to recover Libyan assets frozen after Gaddafi’s downfall. What role does he, as supposedly a civilian, play in that? Another correspondence reveals discussions about projects in Somaliland, including water exports. So, yes, that’s the same Somaliland Israel just recognized the sovereignty of, to the dismay, of both Somali leaders and the global community, for that matter. Again, what does this expose about who the heck Jeffrey Epstein was and basically what his whole get-down was about?

John Bosnitch Well, once again, Jeffrey Epstein was an operative of Mossad. And the fact that he is apparently gone—they say he killed himself in his cell, although I’ve recently read reports that he was removed from his cell the day before. The fact of the matter is that these operations take place everywhere. The bankster organization that manipulates governments and makes democracy into a sham are active everywhere in the world that they can find a connection. And unfortunately, many people will do many things for money. We are now coming up to the 2000th anniversary of when Jesus Christ had to walk into the synagogue with a whip to drive the money changers out of the synagogue. It doesn’t seem as if very much has changed since then. And I think that we’re going to see a real confrontation here between the peoples and the nations that do believe in God, that do believe in moral principles, and those who will do anything for money, regardless of the cost to human lives and to reputations and to the political system itself. They have hollowed out and rotted out the entire Western political elite.

Nice. And Dr. Barrett, as a U.S. citizen, people that, under the Freedom of Information Act, they have a right to, as a citizen, to know what their government does. The federal agencies—I just googled Freedom of Information Act Summary, it says it is often described as a law that keeps citizens in the know about their government. Federal agencies are required to disclose any information requested by under the FOIA, unless it falls under one of nine exemptions which protect interests such as personal privacy, national security, and law enforcement.

This huge redaction we’re seeing of the Epstein files. Obviously they’re going to invoke the parameter under national security. What kind of a tell is that in and of itself?

Kevin Barrett: You’re absolutely right. The FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests around Epstein have been going on for a long time, and very little has ever been released. Then in November, some very brave American congressmen led by the great Thomas Massie forced the issue and passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And that law mandated that by a deadline that, as I recall, was late December, all information that the government held on Epstein had to be released by law. And not releasing it would be a criminal act.

And of course, they didn’t comply. They released a small fraction before the deadline. Then they released some more like a few weeks after the deadline. And now here we are a couple of months after the deadline. Well, maybe a month and a half, I guess. And now we’ve got almost half of the files released. And if this is the half that they are going to release, it really makes you wonder what’s in the other half. Because in this half, we have multiple references to murdering children, torturing children, to all just the most obscene horrors you can even imagine.

Trump, of course, is implicated in much of this. The famous Katie rape case in which Trump allegedly raped a 13-year-old who was very credible. Her lawyers all believe her. They’re still there. But she ended up being terrorized into taking a nondisclosure agreement. It turns out that large numbers of these victims ended up signing nondisclosure agreements, and the government had no interest in prosecuting these horrific crimes, which, again, go all the way up to murder and all kinds of threats of murder. And so I’m wondering what’s going to happen to the other half of the files and what in the world could possibly be in them.

But at this point, I think the American people need to take it on themselves to get justice here. And if the authorities aren’t basically going to just arrest all of these people who have any suspicious connections to Epstein and sort of shake them upside down and see what falls out, then we need to have another French Revolution. Those authorities need…their heads need to roll. And you can decide whether I mean that literally or figuratively.

Appreciate that. And I want to put that same question to you, John, because this is one of the exceptional moments that we’re seeing people from both sides of the aisle, Republicans or Democrats, even independents, doesn’t matter what party you’re from. Basically, American voters want to see accountability here. They want to see Trump’s involvement in these files. They want to see what the files stand for. They’re sick of the redactions. They want access. Why?

John Bosnitch: Well, because they know there’s more to the story than they’ve been allowed to see. This is a scandal that makes Watergate look like child’s play. This is a scandal that goes not just into the White House, but we have to remember that the current prime minister of my native Canada was the chief bankster of Great Britain at the time that they seized all of the gold of Libya’s Gaddafi. We know that we have current... Mr. Lord Mandelson is now implicated in England. And if they got to Prince Andrew, then there’s no doubt that they were in contact with the rest of the royal family. The royal family itself is in doubt here.

And these festering wounds must be investigated. And we also have to find out who it is that made the decision to redact which items from the million-plus documents. Some of those redactions must have been made in the interest of the CIA, Mossad, and the people who perpetrated these crimes. There is no chance that the entire list of all the redacted data is just to protect the female victims. And in fact, some of the female victims have come out and said, I’m prepared to see my name in print if the perpetrators are all exposed at the same time. And that’s what needs to be done. There needs to be an ongoing investigation and we really need to show the world who these people are, how they got power, how they use power to rape and murder around the planet and how we have to get ourselves out from under their control.

Thank you, John. It seems like we have about a minute and a half left. I guess we’ll put one last question to Dr. Barrett. And one more interesting fact, and I don’t mean to be redundant, but about Epstein, a former Israeli premier, Ehud Barak. When everyone went running for cover, Barak is mentioned in the newly released Epstein documents corresponding on multiple occasions after Epstein was convicted for sex crimes in Florida, meaning that it was that pressing, Dr. Barrett, that it was worth the exposure to settle one last time. What do we discern from that, from Ehud Barak taking that risk to contact a man that’s already been convicted?

Kevin Barrett: Yeah, Barak was a multiple times visitor at Epstein’s mansion in New York, and clearly this was a very, very important relationship. What hasn’t been mentioned in the mainstream media is that Barak was the man who committed the most vicious and sadistic rape of all of the rapes that were at least encountered in the first dump of Epstein files. He was named by Virginia Giuffre as the perpetrator of this absolutely horrific rape.

So he’s both a close collaborator of Epstein and Epstein’s work for the Israeli Mossad, and he’s also a vicious, sadistic rapist—which isn’t surprising given that Israel is the rapist nation where they have huge demonstrations for the right to rape, and the people who rape prisoners to death are national heroes.

And I’d like to mention one thing the other guest said, that the victims don’t want to be redacted. Well, it’s actually worse than that. In this latest dump, they didn’t redact the names of dozens of victims, or at least they missed dozens of uses. Many, many uses of the victims’ names are there. They were not redacted, but the perpetrators are all redacted.

This really makes you wonder who is doing the redacting, what they think they’re doing, and if they think they can get away with this. And if they get away with this, I think that America and the West is well and truly cooked. Because knowing that the most sick and depraved people imaginable rule over you, and then having it shoved in your face and then just rolling over and allowing them to do it and letting their vicious, evil, genocidal Zionist tribe continue to rule the world’s most powerful nation through controlling the vices of their goyim cattle is absolutely unacceptable. If Americans don’t rise up over this and overthrow this evil regime, then I can’t imagine what kind of punishment—divine punishment, I mean—is in store for them.

For background on allegations that Trump is being blackmailed by Israel, focusing on the newly-released Epstein files, read “The Epstein Files Show We Are Ruled by Demonic Pedophiles” by Council Estates Media. -KB

Press TV: Thousands have taken to the streets of U.S. city of Houston as part of nationwide rallies and protests against President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown. Gathering outside ICE Detention Center on Friday, Texan protesters held signs and chanted slogans, including No Justice, No Peace. In the city of Los Angeles, thousands of demonstrators gathered at City Hall and marched to a federal detention center. As protests grew into the evening, federal agents used chemical spray to disperse crowds.

The demonstrations are part of nationwide strikes where people participate by not going to work, not going to school or shopping. Protests were sparked by the recent killing of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis. His death follows a January 7th shooting of Renee Good, a mother of three, by an ICE officer, intensifying national outrage over immigration enforcement tactics.

And join us for the story out of Marseille, France, Dr. Kevin Barrett. Dr. Barrett, always a pleasure, sir. Good morning to you out there in Marseille. OK, so obviously illegal immigration is an issue that a lot of Americans want to see cleaned up in American cities. Why are they so opposed and coming out in record numbers in so many cities protesting the Trump administration’s handling of removing illegal immigrants from U.S. soil?

Kevin Barrett: I think the American people are starting to understand that this isn’t really about the illegal immigrants. Now, not all of them understand that. Many of these protesters think that they’re protecting the illegal immigrants. But some of them do (understand).

It’s reached the point now that it’s obvious that these ICE death squads are waging war against whole neighborhoods, against all people that look possibly foreign or have darker skin pigmentation, et cetera. And then they’re also targeting these protesters who come out against them. They’re committing these grotesque abuses, including murder in the cases of Renee Goode and Alex Pretti and others, actually. But those are the two that got captured on video and revealed to the world.

So what this is actually doing is turning the American people, especially the middle ground, the independents, the silent majority, against the Trump policy, the ostensible Trump policy, of getting rid of the illegal immigrants. And more and more Americans, including on the right side of the political spectrum, who actually want to crack down on illegal immigration, are scratching their heads and saying, what is this really all about? Sending federal goons in masks without any badges any identification to just attack and abuse people randomly and to grab people off the streets throw them in vans and disappear them, in some cases even murder them, is totally against the American tradition.

The Americans have sponsored such activities in other countries, with Latin America being a good example. But it’s shocking to normal Americans to see this (at home). And they’re starting to notice that what this is really about is Trump, or the people around Trump, creating a police state and perhaps preparing to cancel the next round of elections, and perhaps ultimately install Trump as a dictator for life.

They’re creating the conditions for a civil war. And most Americans don’t like that. And that’s why we’re seeing so many come out in this general strike.

And Dr. Barrett, before we let you go, it seemed like after Rene Good’s killing there in Minneapolis, that Trump kind of loosened the leash on these ICE agents, possibly leading to the death of Alex Preti, or murder, we should say, because everybody’s seen that video. So do you feel he was finally tying that leash, or does he simply not know how to?

I think Trump is lashing out blindly in all sorts of ways. And I think part of that is the pressure that’s being applied to him around the Epstein files, which include all sorts of material implicating him in the most horrific crimes imaginable against children and teenagers. And clearly, the state of Israel has blackmailed Trump. Epstein was a blackmailer for the state of Israel.

So I think Trump is caught really between the proverbial rock and the hard place. That is, if he tries to pursue more normal and constructive policies, he will be pushed towards fighting the Zionists’ wars. Currently, he’s sending this “big, beautiful armada” to threaten Iran at exactly the moment when these millions of Epstein files are released with hundreds of references to Trump, including some perhaps credible allegations of horrific crimes.

So I think Trump is creating distractions: In Venezuela, in Greenland, now sending the “armada” to Iran, and then by waging war on American cities. And part of this is actually due to the pressure being applied to him by his Zionist oligarch owners who realize that destroying both domestic law in America, the Constitution in America, and also international law, is really their only hope of continuing to commit genocide in occupied Palestine.

A world that has law will not allow that genocide to continue. And the United States under the rule of law with free speech will ultimately turn against it as well. So they’re using Trump to destroy the rule of law everywhere in hopes that that will save their doomed genocidal Zionist entity.
