Poet and author Charles Upton, one of America’s leading Muslim thinkers, discusses his brand-new article “The Alien Disclosure Deception.” Upton reviews the new Netflix series Top Secret UFO Projects: Declassifiedand finds it “a thinly-disguised and thoroughly-articulated social engineering gambit presented as a factual documentary.” He suggests that the current MSM push for UFO disclosure could herald a new global religion based on worship of ETs. At the end of his review Upton speculates about the possibility, much-discussed in the Muslim community, that what the West calls ETs might be identical with the jinn, a category of sentient beings that includes the Shaytan (Satan) and his followers who are dedicated to leading humanity astray.

Philip Kraske's grippingly readable new novella A Legacy of Chains fleshes out an interesting and not-entirely-implausible scenario: A few surviving American POWs left behind in Vietnam, now senior citizens, manage to escape...but find an American government and media determined to suppress their story, and the "Enormous Crime" it reveals.

Something not unlike the events in the story actually happened when Robert Garwood, one of the more than 600 US prisoners of war held hostage by the Vietnamese after the cessation of hostilities, managed to escape in 1979 to tell the tale...only to be betrayed by his own government and slandered by the media.

Would the US government really condemn 600 American prisoners of war to forced labor and slow death in captivity just to avoid paying a couple of billion dollars ransom to Hanoi? The clear and unambiguous answer is, "yes, it did." And the US media and political class, including treasonous fake war hero scumbag John McCain, engineered and maintained an absurdly flimsy yet somehow durable cover-up. As Kraske's novel suggests, that betrayal—one of a seemingly endless series of betrayals of the American people by their rogue government of psychopathic war criminals and the media that cover for them—is likely to, sooner or later, spark a revolutionary uprising and/or civil war.

Ron Unz, who has written about the Suvorov thesis (discussed in my previous interview with Sean McMeekin) discusses his most recent article “American Pravda: Waging Biological Warfare.” In it he summarizes material from Nicholson Baker (author of “The Lab Leak Hypothesis“) and other mainstream authors who have recounted bits and pieces of the suppressed history of US biological warfare programs.

Does biological warfare represent a much greater threat than is commonly understood? And did the COVID-19 pandemic emerge from a biowar lab leak, as Baker surmises—or from a deliberate US neocon biowar strike on China and Iran, as Ron Unz has persuasively argued?

Note: I am reading Baseless: My Search for Secrets in the Ruins of the Freedom of Information Act and will be inviting the author, Nicholson Baker, to appear on this show.

Bard College history professor Sean McMeekin discusses his new book Stalin’s War: A New History of World War II.McMeekin’s engrossing narrative presents an implicit and sometimes explicit argument that the war’s primary instigator and villain was Stalin, not Hitler. For while the Fuhrer may have been an aggressor, dictator, human rights abuser, and general villain, it was the Vozhd not the Fuhrer who desired, orchestrated, and won the war, commanded its biggest armies in the most theaters across most of the Eurasian landmass, and emerged with the lion’s share of the war booty. Stalin got and won his war, in McMeekin’s interpretation, thanks to Hitler’s swallowing the bait of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact—and thanks to the fecklessness of Churchill and especially Roosevelt, who grossly undermined their respective national interests by kowtowing to Stalin and showering him with the material support he used to win his war of conquest. Indeed, McMeekin’s material suggests that the Suvorov thesis, according to which Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa saved Europe from Soviet conquest, is largely correct. The Cold War, in this reading, was really just the long drawn-out ending of World War II, as the Soviet Union’s opponents recognized and fixed FDR-Churchill’s mistake. In this larger sense, World War 2 (Stalin’s war) did not end until the collapse of Communism in 1989.

So why do the standard histories offer such a Hitler-centric view of the war?  Does Hitler-centrism stem from Eurocentrism, according to which the Western fringes of Eurasia are the main focus of attention? Did Communist propaganda play a role? Or did Hitler’s crimes against Jews alienate a powerful interest group that responded by selling us the notion of Hitler the iconic cartoon villain and central figure of the war? However the public myth of World War II was created, Sean McMeekin has effectively debunked it and pointed the way to a more comprehensive and accurate understanding.

I will be publishing a full transcript of this interview for subscribers to my Substack page.

Steven Rosenbaum and Pamela Yoder are the filmmakers behind The Outsider, scheduled for release August 19th—assuming the 9/11 Museum's team of lawyers hired to torpedo the film do not succeed. As the New York Daily News reports: "Top officials of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum want to cut 18 scenes they call 'defamatory' from an upcoming documentary about the museum’s inner workings — and the documentary’s makers vow not to cave in to their demands."

The Outsider, unlike the 9/11 Museum, does not leave the 9/11 truth movement on the proverbial cutting room floor. But more important than the smattering of explicit scenes featuring 9/11 truth protestors is the film's overarching thesis: The 9/11 Museum  failed in its original mission, as understood by Michael Shulin, to promote an open conversation about 9/11 stressing "question marks rather than periods." The main villain seems to be 9/11 Museum Director Alice Greenwald, former director of the Holocaust Museum, who apparently insisted on making the 9/11 Museum into a "shrine of the monstrous lie." Philip Kennicot of the Washington Post describes the Museum as “obsessive about repeatedly putting visitors through the trauma of 9/11...it is articulating a new kind of religion, an American religion based on a sense of grievance and loss, a nation that would be reborn as a more militaristic, aggressive superpower.”

The story behind the film may be of interest to 9/11 researchers. Rosenbaum and Yoder amassed the world's biggest collection of non-network-TV videos taken on 9/11 and donated them to the incipient 9/11 Museum through then-Creative Director Michael Shulin. (Shulin, for his part, had collected the world's biggest set of 9/11 photographs for his storefront exhibit, which led to his being offered the Creative Director position.)

Rosenbaum, Yoder, and Shulin donated their 9/11 videos and photos to the Museum on the understanding that they would be part of an open-to-the-public research library. It didn't quite turn out that way:

Steven Rosenbaum: "If you go down to the museum and say, 'I'm a researcher and I'd like to come in and use this material, they will send you a contract. And that contract you will have to sign. And in that contract, it will say that anything you create has to be reviewed by them and can be modified by them and can't be released to the public unless they approve it."

Kevin Barrett: "It sounds like what the CIA does with agents who want to write books."

Steven Rosenbaum: "Here's what's puzzling about it. There is no example of any other museum in the United States that we've been able to find that controls legitimate, bona fide access to their archives in that way. And that includes, by the way, the Holocaust Museum. And we checked on this. And the Holocaust Museum said to us quite clearly, 'if you arrive and say we're making a book about the Holocaust and I don't believe it happened, I'm a denier, and I want to access your materials to prove my point,' they will let you in. They won't ask to review what you write. They won't try and edit it. And that's kind of at the basis what museum making is supposed to be about: investigating archives. I can't explain to you why they (the 9/11 Museum) don't allow that."

Kevin Barrett: "Well, I could I offer a couple of guesses, but I'm sure you've already thought of them, such as the likelihood that there is some very damning material in those archives that would add to the kind of cumulative case made by the many, many dozens of scholars who have published peer reviewed articles supporting the thesis of the 9/11 truth movement that this was a false flag event."

What does Steven Rosenbaum think about 9/11 truth issues in general, and Building 7 in particular? Listen and find out.

Binoy Kampmark recently published a good article on Daniel Hale, the drone whistleblower recently sentenced to 45 months in prison. Hale’s alleged crime “was to reveal classified documents revealing the distinct viciousness, and essential senselessness, of the US military’s drone program.  His motivation: ‘to dispel the lie that drone warfare keeps us safe, that our lives are worth more than theirs.'”

Dr. Kampmark followed the Hale article with one on “Afghanistan, Failure and Second Thoughts.” His pessimistic prognosis:

“The emptying of the barracks does not put an end to the prying and meddling from non-Afghan personnel.  The country will still host a myriad of special forces and intelligence officials.  Excuses for maintaining some militarised footprint will be traditional: the threat posed by terrorism; the thriving opium trade.  The contractor business will also boom.  A Taliban victory promises a slice of violence for everybody, but so does the presence of this feeble Afghan government.”

Contrast that perspective with Zia Sarhadi’s “Gloomy Projections for Afghanistan Not Based on Reality.”

Wise guy guru Swami Beyondanonda and his alter ego straight man Steve Bhaerman run the WakeUpLaughing website, “your one-stop spot for consciousness comedy, new age humor, political comedy and satire, healing laughter, new science and evolutionary up-wising.” I  was reminded that it was way past time to bring back the Swami & Steve Show when someone forwarded a meme from them via NYU anti-propaganda prof Mark Crispin Miller:

So I asked myself: Is Swami doing my kind of dark, mordant satire now instead of his New Age comic-cosmic schtick? Better get him on the show and find out!

Eric Beeth, a medical doctor in Brussels, Belgium, is appalled by the way so many of his fellow doctors have failed to think critically about COVID-19, question orders from big pharma and the for-profit medical mafia, and remain true to Hippocrates' commandment: "First, do no harm."

Dr Beeth says:

"We must be very careful that our treatments do not do any harm, and that we give our patients very individualized care, meaning that if we give them something it is because we are sincerely convinced that this is what this patient needs, as if we were treating our own family, our own parents, our own children. We must give our own patients the same high level care..."

"I'm very concerned that the experimental injections that were proposed against the most likely fabricated SARS2 coronavirus are even being given to children..."

"In our clinical practice we are seeing strange thrombosis-like symptoms in our vaccinated patients that are worrisome. I talk with colleagues who are cardiologists, I talk with other specialists, and I work with my wife who is also a general practitioner. And we see these cases, and they are worrisome. And you don't go out and report them all.. less than 10% of true side effects of these types of injections get reported. In actual fact it's most likely about 1%."

Dr. Beeth speculates that the same criminal forces that created the COVID bioweapon are also behind (at least some of) the vaccines, and that the disease-vaccine combination looks like a classic protection racket.

Edward Curtin's classic article "The Satanic Nature of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" is worth re-reading as we commemorate the holocausts perpetrated August 6 and August 9, 1945. The fact that the people running the American empire are purely and simply evil—the term "psychopathic" isn't strong enough—was illustrated by the completely unnecessary atomic bombings of Japanese civilians, which, contrary to public myth, did not cause Japan to surrender or save any lives. It was nothing more nor less than a message to the Russians. What a way to send a message.

Educated in the classics, philosophy, literature, theology, and sociology,  Edward Curtin teaches sociology at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. His new book is Seeking Truth in a Country of Lies.

Jonathan Simon, one of America’s leading election integrity experts, asks: “What happens when a dangerous and serial liar like Donald Trump blunders onto an inconvenient and disruptive truth? The truth Trump is inadvertently pointing to is not that elections in the United States are rigged, but that our privatized, electronic vote counting system is unobservable and incapable of proving that it is not rigged. This is a true crisis for American democracy.”

I interviewed Jonathan Simon before and immediately after the 2020 election. How have his views on the national crisis of confidence around Trump v. Biden developed since then? Listen and find out.

Here are two charts illustrating his findings suggesting the 2020 election was rigged for down-ticket Republicans:

The House

“The first systemic anomaly to emerge on post-mortem was that, of 27 U.S. House contests rated as “tossups” by the Cook Political Report and The New York Times, Republicans were victorious in all 27. Assuming tossup equates to a 50-50 chance, a penny flip, the probability of such an outcome would be less than one in 100 million…Virtually all these contests, being highly competitive, were heavily polled by a variety of different polling outfits across the political spectrum (though most were regarded as politically neutral), using a variety of methodologies and sampling techniques.”

“We can also view these competitive House contests in terms of the red (or blue) shift and identify which ones “flipped” from predicted outcomes and by how much. The chart on page 4 below presents the contests that flipped from blue (prediction) to red (outcome) and the single contest, in Georgia, that flipped from red to blue. The CDs are ranked from highest to lowest red shift; the right-hand column shows the expected Democratic win percentage and the left-hand column the principal equipment in use. The asymmetry is clear enough and the correlation of Election Systems & Software (ES&S) equipment with the most egregious red shifts worth noting.”
