Getting a feeling, I'm reading headlines today and I'm getting a feeling awful similar to the feeling in 2020 as COVID lockdowns were being implemented. I have this sinking feeling that the collapse has well and truly begun. I'll show you the headlines obviously has to do with the Iran War, the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. It ain't looking good, folks. It's actually looking very, very bad. Not that it ever looked good.

Not that it ever was going to be anything other than this. This was the inevitable and obvious conclusion from even before the beginning of the war. But somebody today on my ex reminded me, retweeted something and said, hey, look, it's been six months because six months ago, I tweeted this out and they responded me saying, I'll see you in six months. And here we are six months later. Let's see if I was accurate. Let's see if my prediction six months ago turned out to be correct. I said back on the fifth of March, 2026, today is the sixth day of the war. We could pull the rip cord now. We could pack it in and cut our losses and take it on the chin by accepting restraints to Israel's expansion. We want though. We will waste billions of dollars and thousands of lives in a few months or years. We will know will be no better off than we are today. The people in Tel Aviv are giving the order. The people in Washington will carry it out and the people in the MSM and Big Tech will present it to the American people as an inevitability portraying the consequences

as unexpected. You guys remember back six months ago when we were less than a week into the war and people were going, it's looking like it might be four weeks guys. It looks like it might actually be four weeks than Pentagon's like, actually in my go to September. Here we are in September and they're saying it might go till 2029. Told you so. What is there to say other than we told you so because this was obvious from the beginning and the crash is the intent. This is the purpose of everything going on. Meanwhile, it's costing us just insane amounts of money. Since comm just released an estimate of a wrong war cost 43.6 billion dollars. Today, Monday, rather, the DOD IG released into cost estimate that was $10 billion less than this, but it covered two fewer months. Translation ongoing a wrong war costs

have been around $5 billion a month much higher than we've been told. $5 billion a month. For what exactly? I'm sorry for what? I'm just saying I could do it for cheaper. I'm just saying $5 billion a month just to ruin the world's economy and shut down the straight of four moves and embarrass yourself. I could have done those things for way cheaper. Come to me next time. You want to ruin America's reputation on the world stage. I could do it a billion dollars a month easy. No problem. You want to wreck the world economy. I bet I could do that for a billion dollars a month. $5 billion a month just to wreck the world economy just to cut off oil supplies, just to permanently damage the supply chain of necessary material just to set the stage for a giant global famine just around the corner. I mean, really $5 billion a month just to do that. I could have done it way cheaper, probably faster too. I mean, just, you know, how hard is it really?

Because otherwise, I mean, that is what we're paying for. Right? I mean, that's why we're paying $5 billion a month is to make everything worse for everybody, right? It's not an accident. Is it good, Lord? Yeah, $45.1 billion, $43.6 billion. You know what's a couple billions here or there? Who's counting? Meanwhile, Iran, I kind of love this. Iran says straight-of-formos will remain closed until President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are removed from power. Hey, look, they took a page out of our book. It's what we always say. It's what we always do, right? We start a war and then we say, hey, remove your own people from power and this can all stop. And then we kill the people that would remove them from power. So there's that. But hey, we want the war to end. I guess you got a vote Democrat.

I guess that's the solution. I guess maybe if they impeach Trump, which now, you know, because of this, I think it's pretty clear. We'll not be impeaching Trump. Because that would end to the big war everybody's having so much fun in. Meanwhile, the war almost got significantly bigger because of AI. The US quote, almost started a war against China, nearly launching an operation against a Chinese ship in the Middle East this spring in the midst of the Iran war after an AI-generated intelligence report falsely identified the vessel as carrying nuclear weapons components with armed US personnel preparing to board and military aircraft already in the air before officials found the report had been produced with a chatbot per CNN, a special operations command analyst had used a chatbot to fuse open source material with classified signals intelligence and then used AI again to package the results into a standard intelligence report and circulated it across the US military.

Okay, great. US left on the brink of war with China over a port of nukes moving in Middle East. Huh, you're right. It looks like I accidentally told you to attack China. I just, you know, thank God, thank God, human beings are still involved at some level. But I'd like a little bit more information about how exactly that was allowed to happen. Why these things are being used and if it was even on purpose, I mean, my God, there's just so many problems with this. But these are all just, I mean, that was a, I guess, close shave, you know, we missed that outcome. You know, a lot of these things are sort of potentials. But let's talk about what's actually happening right now. I'm telling you as I read these headlines this morning, I was literally, I was getting like PTSD flashbacks of two weeks to slow the spread. We're doing a lockdown of all of America, just like China's doing.

I think we're here. I think we're in it. I think things might get crazy. Like next week might be a very crazy week, depending on what happens over the weekend. Let me read you the headlines. American Airlines, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines are now canceling certain flights, scaling back flight capacity and adjusting schedules due to a sharp surge in fuel costs. With American Airlines saying the latest jump in fuel prices alone is adding about a billion dollars to its fourth quarter costs per Reuters. Meanwhile, Exxon mobile has fully shut down one of the largest diesel refineries in the Midwest, the 275,000 BPD Joliet plant producing about 11 million gallons of gasoline in diesel a day after a total power outage. IIR energy is expected back to normal production by the end of the week yet is still down much longer than expected. US diesel hit a new record of $6.45 a gallon today up nearly 90% this week with BP's waiting refinery in Indiana also partially down

as the US is now in peak diesel demand season. Pakistan has now ordered a nationwide lockdown like fuel rationing and austerity measures with immediate effect due to the fuel and gas crisis caused by historically low supplies per cabinet division notification. Sharp's markets, markets, malls and bazaars will close at 9 PM nationwide. Fuel for all government vehicles is to be cut by 50% for three months. There's a complete ban on purchasing vehicles of all types. All official foreign travel ban for three months, non-salary spending cut 5% for the full fiscal year. All government-funded seminars, trainings and conferences prohibited. No official dinners except visiting foreign delegations, a single dish only at all marriage functions. Do you see what's happening here? Are you aware of what's going on here? So this is the warning sign. This is the warning bell. This is the tornado alarm letting you know to get undercover.

Once one country starts doing this, more countries are going to start doing this. And you'll notice they're not exactly sticking with the fuel rationing. Are they? I'm not sure what dishes at marriage functions has to do with fuel rationing, but this is what is going to happen. They're going to use the fuel shortage as an excuse to ration everything and to dictate behavior for everyone. They don't have to justify. They don't have to be reasonable. Yeah, we're low on diesel. So you're not allowed to eat food at your wedding. What? They'll do it. They're doing it. On purpose, this is this was why the Iran War was launched. It's begun. Pakistan is a net fuel importer that buys most of its diesel and gasoline from Gulf refineries. And it refused Saudi Arabia's request to join the fight against the Houthis under the Mecca Pact last weekend. Okay, so Pakistan's already in lockdowns.

The Midwest is basically out of oil. Saudi Arabia has now told the European oil refineries. They will receive no crude oil at all next month with the cut applying to every single European customer on long term contracts after the attack that shut the East West pipeline per Bloomberg. This confirms Tuesday's initial reports that Aramco had scrapped every remaining September cargo to Europe with no study crude until November. The world's largest crude exporter is out of the European market for a full month on term on term contracts that normally deliver every month while it bids for diesel in the same market. Now there's probably more going on here than meets the eye. Considering the fact that Saudi Arabia begged Trump and America to get involved against the Houthis, but there are other factions like UAE that are in favor of what the Houthis are doing and are trying to sort of split Yemen and two so they can have whatever South Yemen and the Houthis can have North Yemen.

Saudi Arabia and UAE are sort of at odds here in lobbying America to either get involved or not. And like I think a lot of what we're seeing right now, I mean, this is all a giant chess game of diplomacy, right? The same way that the UK boycotts the West Bank terrorists. So Israel leans on America to encourage Argentina to go after the Falklands like nothing is as it seems, right? The Falkland debate has nothing to do with the Falklands. It has to do with pressuring UK to stop opposing Israel, just like Swetha has nothing to do with Morocco. I actually having a claim over Swetha. It was Israel pressuring Spain or just causing them trouble to punish them for opposing them. In the same way, I have the feeling that Saudi Arabia's cut off of Europe is not out of necessity, but rather as a diplomatic leverage point for Saudi Arabia to say, Hey, Europe, you better get America to help us fight the Houthis.

That's just speculation on my part. The point is, as of now, Europe's not getting any fuel next month. 90 diesel anyway. This from Joe Kent, he posts a couple of images here. Yeah, who the advanced booster on leverage over the US and Saudi Arabia, but it may cause rebel group. It's legitimacy back in Yemen. They're trying to split Yemen into just like they did with Somalia and Somali land. But and all these things are deeply tied in together. Joe Kent posted a couple pictures here, one of a Donald Trump truth. It's the same thing. Basically, it's Donald Trump posting this article by this guy, Mark A. Tiersen, what the disloyal leaks about Iran prove about Trump. Joe Kent, response to this, if you're still in the administration and are truly opposed to the Iran war, you might as well publicly resign and speak out because at this rate, no one is ever going to know or care that you are quietly against it whispering to the media. The loudest people encouraging Trump to continue this foolish war are the same

Neocons who gave us the Iraq war and who now are gleefully cheering for the destruction of Maggo while telling Trump they're the only ones who see his brilliance. Trump is sharing an article by Mark Tiersen, a Bush speechwriter, as a week after Trump accurately labeled Bush a failure. Tiersen is attacking all who tried to warn Trump that this war would be a disaster in order to keep Trump in a state of siege. The Neoconsultimate goal is to ensure this war escalates so it can fulfill its purpose of destroying Trump's historic movement and pushing out those around him who believe in putting America first instead of prioritizing foreign interests and personal gain. I knew he was an anti-Semite. I knew it. I just had a feeling, didn't you? This is an investigation by AJ Signal on X. Matt Bracken has been singing this guy's praises. Some market and oil analysts are absolutely clueless about the depth of damage that Aramco has experienced in Saudi Arabia at these three pumping stations. The Ansarallah Houthi strikes on the three Saudi Aramco pumping stations was more likely the not

facilitated with someone who had insider knowledge or was working for Saudi Aramco that sold information to the Houthis. After a five day investigation, I assessed with high confidence that the information was either sold to the Houthis or they have a sympathizer working inside Aramco that gave them very specific technical information that enabled the missile strikes. Why do I say this? Because Houthis military target selection cell had too much technical details which enabled such a devastating blow. The target selection was far too sophisticated. They hit pumping station eight, pumping station nine and eleven and then the Yanbu terminal. They did not hit PS1 or any of the subsequent pumping stations. Why? Because they knew or were told that if they strike PS8, 9 and 11, they would essentially decommission at least 400 kilometers of oil flow by striking the three pumping stations with multiple ballistic and drone strikes. But what's also interesting is that some of these pumping stations are so remote that you cannot necessarily drive to them or bring the necessary crew needed. Hence, Aramco would have to fly the crew and equipment to the site for in for instance, PS9 that was hit has its own airport at the pumping station so

they have to fly everyone in and out daily. Then they hit the pumps at the highest elevation disabling any type of potential bypass or redundancy that can take that can kick in. This will take at least three to six months to repair not weeks. So I thought that was totally fascinating that they hit the pipelines sort of at the top. If they hit the pipeline and if young bring up the actual tweet, you can see the images that are under it and you can see that they hit them sort of at the top of the elevation. If they hit the pumping stations beyond that, then well, I guess there aren't pumping stations beyond that because it's just downhill and it just flows naturally. But they like these stations in a very sophisticated way that's going to make it extremely hard to repair. I don't know if the actually had inside information, but speculation sounds reasonable to me. Everyone on X says Saudi Arabia pipeline will be fixed in days. I've worked those deserts. I say one to three months. Again, this is by AJ Signal. First, let me say

plainly that I love the desert and Arab cultures. It does not, but it does shape a timeline, immediate. The media does not understand when they're talking about something they've never experienced. A lot of people on X are saying the Saudi East West pipeline and its pumping stations will be back online in days. I've worked these deserts in Saudi Arabia and across the Middle East and that is not how it goes. Even if it's expedited, you're still looking at a month at the very least and realistically one to three. You have to first understand what the work actually is. This is not gas station attendant tightening a few bolts or replacing a motor. A pumping station hit by ballistic missile has to be completely demolished, cleared, re-engineered and rebuilt from the ground and concrete upwards, often with newer technology because the stations are decades old anyway and the original parts no longer exist. This means engineering contractors, subcontractors and sub subcontractors each waiting on the one below them, each relying on a supply chain that is nothing like the robust on-time machine people imagine in Germany or Norway or the West. Now layer the desert summer heat on top of that. We're stone September where the desert

heat burns your feet even with shoes on and this is where the delays compound. If you are not short on supplies, the truck is stuck in the sand. If the truck moves, you're waiting on water or waiting for the temperature to drop because September and the Saudi desert is so brutal, the crews can only work at night or in short bursts, short bursts before exhaustion and medical emergencies set in. The skilled labor is largely foreign, Pakistani, Afghan, Indian and others, working under experienced engineers who must be flown in and coordinated with some of those highly skilled workers likely left when the missiles started months ago. So how do you convince them to come back? Sure. You have some of your own engineers and highly skilled ones are always brought in from overseas and the rhythm of the day is cultural. There are prayer times that take 30 to 45 minutes each day, several times a day if they end up working during the day. There is a midday rest or naps. They these are not flaws. They are how the society works, but the real hours that western timelines never account for. Then the piece almost nobody's factored in. The ports are blockaded via the straight of four moves in the Bob L. Mandem. The heavy equipment that are rebuilt like this requires

the kind normally arrives by sea ordered from overseas. Well, I can't come in that way now. It has to be airlifted, which is far more expensive, far slower and limited by what fits on an aircraft. Some of this machinery is too large to fly intact. So it must be disassembled, flown in pieces and re-symboled on the site. Every one of those steps is new bottle bottle neck stacked on the last. I'd like to look at things in order of effects of point order of effects point of view. So one first, the immediate one, the repair itself drags out weeks or months, not days. So Audi export capacity stays crippled for far longer than the market expects, especially if America's not helping them to repair it. Second, the market one that prolonged outage keeps upward pressure on oil and shipping cost because the bypass everyone assumed would reopen quickly does not. Third, the strategic one. And this is the part where the optimist miss. Even a fully repaired pipeline sits under the same threat that broke it. Why would the hoothe he's not simply hit it again? You bet, and they've shown they are less about careful calculation, the IRGC and more about action, a rebuilt station is just a fresh target, which means the real constraint is not the repair time perhaps it never was. It was that you cannot dirt, durable, fix a node, your enemy can strike it will

anytime of day regardless of the weather conditions. So ignore the days talk between the engineering, the desert, the block ports, the standing threat of another strike. This is a one, two, three month problem at best and possibly one that cannot permanently be solved while the war continues at all. You know what to do, amplify this signal. So I think it's happening. So like I said, I think it's all compounding. I think it's all happening. I think we're sort of, it was a great sort of illustration for it, right? I was just explaining the roller coaster. We've gotten to the top of the hill and I feel like right now is that quiet moment of stillness just before the plunge. The plunge all the way down to sea level, all the way down to the ground as low as it can possibly go because I don't know how you fix this. I don't know if you can do it fast enough, even if you can fix it, how many months is Europe going to

be able to go without shipments from Saudi Arabia? Yeah. And it's about to be winter. And the lockdowns have already started in places like Pakistan. And I seriously doubt they're going to stay there. I mean, this feels like two weeks to slow the spread. This feels like the beginning of COVID. This feels like something everybody's telling us, it'll be over soon. It'll be over in a minute. I totally agree. It's not going to be over. It is the next leg of the great reset. Yeah. This whole energy shot. Hey, but it's okay. Laura Lumer is sure there's going to be a new 9-11 10-nums horse. And she says that we're behind it, myself and Tucker and all of us. Oh, really? So yeah, I'm sure she hasn't given any talking points because I've been warning you Israel really needs false flag. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, they're there. They're saying it very loudly. So are you ready for me to be blamed for that? You know, that would be a very surprising claim for them to make. But I'm not obvious. It's very troubling. That's very

troubling. In fact, I'll go talk about this on the other side because the, you know, there's a historical example for this. There was a time in Mexico City a couple of Israelis were caught dressed up like Pakistanis trying to blow up a building. And it's exactly what they're going to do here. I mean, it's already happened. I'll show you on the other side. I've got the article. I've got the which, I mean, they're contributing. But look, it's probably a coincidence. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a coincidence. It's a total coincidence that we're destroying the gas production of the Middle East through our ill-advised and frankly retarded and suicidal war with Iran, that Ukraine, all of a sudden, started targeting Russia oil energy production, causing Russia to return the favor in kind. At the same time, that you have the biggest diesel production plants in America, both of which are shut down to varying degrees, one of which are shut down completely and forever. I feel like that, like, I feel like we're on a submarine,

and there are scuffles going on between the sailors, meanwhile, our oxygen is being depleted. It's like, we need this for anything else to go on. For all of us not to die, first we have to handle the energy production. Just like in a submarine, first you have to have air to breathe, then we can fight each other once we've settled. But like, this is a existential crisis for the world that these people have caused and are now exacerbating. This is like urgent. We absolutely need to probably do something about this because like I said, it has begun. Country's already locking down and rationing fuel. When do you think this ends? It ends when the war ends. The war doesn't end until they get what they want. So, it's going to clip number five here. This is how the Trump administration and their constituent gay whales are thinking about the Iran war and its effect on the bottom line of the American people. Let's go to

clip number five here. Here's some sort of homosexual whale who learned how to talk. Let's watch. During the first Trump administration. So, you know what? I don't really care about the price of gas because the price of gas will be cheap when we win, which will be soon. It's not about the midterms. It's about dealing death to those who wish to kill Americans. If you think that's less important than the price of gas, you're not an American end of story. Oh, I didn't realize that. Is that what they mean when they say like, I don't know, Indians are more American than us? Is that because apparently that's what it means to be an American? Do you have to think that gas prices are less important than killing people that want to kill us? I mean, I really am just shocked that this type of stuff even gets said because apparently it works. I mean, they wouldn't be saying it if it didn't work to some degree. It's not working on you, is it? I mean, I know he's gay. If he had a wife, would he use this type of argumentation with

her? That's how I always feel with this stuff is being like, hey, you know, I don't know whatever it is. Hey, why did you leave all the food out overnight? You expect me to clean up? And they're like, oh, I'm sorry, leaving food out is more important to you than me surviving. I had to go to sleep, okay? If I don't sleep, I die. You know what happens? Somebody doesn't sleep. They die. You think that my life is less important than how clean the kitchen is? A franklamal palt. You're not even an American. I don't know. I mean, what do you just say? It's ridiculous. It's absolutely the Trump administration has now reiterated for the unteamed time how little concern they have for the price of fuel that is crippling American families and their budgets. They don't they do not care. It is so much more important for them that they wage this Iran war. The claim is that if we don't, Americans will die because they they want to kill us, you know, they probably want to kill us a hell of a lot more. They're probably a lot

more activated. I didn't even grab excited things, but there's like a gigantic rally in Tehran today of like a million people chanting and cheering for the regime. The Iranian people are more patriotic than they ever have been before. They're closer to getting a nuclear weapon than they ever have been before. They're acting offensively more than they ever have been before. Their proxy armies are being more motivated and active than they ever have been before. So it would be ridiculous and absurd and an insult. Even if it was true for Sebastian Gorka to claim that our ability to exist and our ability to pay for our sustenance is less important than killing the people who want to kill us in Iran, but all we're doing is empowering the people that want to kill us in Iran. So it's absurdity on top of the insult. I mean, they're trying, right? I mean, that's what's happening here.

Because I ask you, who do these people hate more? Who does Sebastian Gorka hate more? Does Sebastian Gorka hate the left? I assume he does, but I've heard him rail against anti-Semites a hell of a lot more. And remember what they mean when they say anti-Semites, they mean me and you. They mean people that aren't eager to surrender our entire nation to the whim of Israel, to the desire of Israel to get a little bit more land. We have to sacrifice literally everything. That's who they mean by anti-Semites. They mean people like us. And if you talk to them about the left, they'll say, oh, the left, they're so silly. They're just goofy. They're so unimpressive. This socialist, I just craze in. Nobody will vote for them. And you say, well, what about right wingers that don't like Israel? They all need to be killed. They all need to be destroyed. Like I genuinely think people like Sebastian Gorka, they don't care for publicans are in office or not. That's not the issue to them. The biggest threat they perceive is white people, white

Christians who aren't pro-Israel. And I genuinely think they are pushing the Democrats to win while simultaneously building the digital control grid that the Democrats will absolutely use to target white Christian people. And at the top and really at their base, really at all level, people like Sebastian Gorka and the far left radicals that want to eradicate America itself are really very much aligned in who they see as a threat and who they want to destroy. So I think they are driving America off a cliff. They're continually reiterating their disdain for the American people. They're lack of concern for the pain they're causing the American people knowing full well that it will result in the outsting of the Republicans. And then you've got Laura Lumer. Laura Lumer faces backlash for tracking conservatives for Trump. In a news

nation interview after her Ukraine trip, Lumer said she monitors prominent GOP voices for anti-Trump rhetoric tied to foreign propaganda and sends reports to the White House. Yeah, she's a Tatletail snitch teacher's pet goblin. She's a goblin. You don't know that. That's what goblins do. It's in her nature. She's salacious crumb. Okay, do you understand that she's the little giggling monster, uh, luxuriating on the folds of fat of the mafia of the mafia Don Jabba the Hut. Do you understand that she is not a powerful or respectable or decent person, but she feels a sense of strength and power being associated with a bunch of ruthless criminals that because she's protected by her position in Jabba's palace, she gets to giggle and cackle and laugh while the good people, the heroes get thrown to the monsters.

Forget Grimoire Wormtong. That's way too complimentary. Grimoire Wormtong was a handsome man after all. No, she's salacious crumb. The little monster that sits on Jabba the Hut and feels power because her position. Laura Lumer admits she has President Trump's personal snitch and keeps a report card on every move and every word from Tucker Carlson, Candaceau and Megan Kelly and Alex Jones. Yeah, kind of like stopping decimitism, kind of like the Canary Mission, kind of like how Robert Kraft has a spy station for Israel set up in Gillette Stadium to monitor Americans for language they don't like. This is all laid out in the protocols of the elders of Zion. This is all foretold by that great document, the protocols of the elders of Zion. Should I pull that up? I actually did another episode for it on off limits news. You know, I never got to this part. I never got to the part that talks about how many snitches

they would have, you know, helping them control the planet. I'm going all in folks. You know, I might have to find it during the, during the break here. I don't know where it is exactly in the document, but yeah, no, this is all, this is all, you know, part of the plan here. I'll find it during the break. But look, you got to have a certain portion of the population that snitches for the rest of the population. What Laura Lumer is doing seems deeply un-American, deeply inhuman. Strange and bizarre, right? These are her old friends that she is trying to get the president to crack down on. And in fact, it's successfully, obviously, affected negatively the relationships between all these people. And she feels power because of this. Well, look, I don't understand why people don't come out with what they know about Lumer from her past.

So I'm not the one that happened to you, so I don't feel like I'm the one that should be saying it. But I feel like it would be a public service to like come clean about what Laura Lumer does and who she does it to because who would respect her or pay attention to her once they knew what she did behind the scenes. She didn't do it to me, though, so I'm not the one who can say it. I don't have the proof. I'd probably be sued for libel or slander. So I think the victims should probably come forward about all this. Do away with Laura Lumer for us. But I'll actually all let you read between the lines there. Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm sure you know this. Have you been watching our show? I've been stating this with unwarranted, but clearly correct confidence that there's absolutely no way we are getting accurate casualty numbers from the war in Iran. And now it's being confirmed. More US troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly. More American service moors have died in the Middle East war in the

Middle East during the ongoing Iran war than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly, according to six US officials familiar with the defense department's internal casualty accounting data. Five of the officials said there have been at least 22 military fatalities for more than what appears in the Pentagon's public database known as the defense casualty analyst system or DCAS. A six official who like the other spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the figures said that 23 service members have died since February 28th when the Trump administration in concert with Israel initiated the Iran war. Not all of the undisclosed deaths are directly tied to the conflict, but have involved US personnel who are in the Middle East during ongoing battles. The person said. And you know, I'm sure eventually we'll get the real numbers. I 22 still seems a little bit low. For me, in terms of the damage that we've seen done to bases and stuff, it seems shocking that only 22 people who have died as consequence of that. However, 22 people is 22 more lives than we should have ever spent for Israel. And just we got to do it.

Every time we talk we got to remind ourselves this is not for the sake of Israel's existence. It's not for the sake of Israel's safety or peace in the region. This is for Israel's land a grand disment. This is so they can continue terror bombing civilians in Lebanon. That's why 22 Americans had to die. That's why 22 American families will have an empty chair at their Thanksgiving. 22 American mothers losing their sons or daughters, 22 children growing up without a parent in their lives because Israel wanted to bomb hospitals in Lebanon and wouldn't pause. Wouldn't stop. Wouldn't give us the courtesy of a mere pause in activity so that we could not drive the world off the cliff and have Americans pay the ultimate price for it. What's it going to take? What's it going to take? At a certain point, we have to stop taking this.

Makes it coming to my TED talk. Now interestingly, Laura Loomer is apparently claiming that there's going to be some big attack against America. I guess by Iran, I don't really understand what she's saying. She's saying that it's the woke right that will do it. Why would that be the case? Like that doesn't make any sense. Genuinely doesn't make any sense. I know we say this over and over and I got to follow my own rules here. We're not supposed to be listening to her. I forgot. We're not supposed to be paying attention to her or anything. A global collapse of the food system is coming. A lot of this it can and should be blamed on the Russians. Okay. Okay, lady. It's literally all Israel's fault. I don't know what else to tell you. I just it's it's just weird, man. I mean, the thing is if I had like faith in the American people,

I wouldn't be so concerned about this. I just don't. Do you know over a third of Americans cannot name the three branches of government, which tells me two thirds of Americans shouldn't be voting. Okay, here's what she said. Laura Loomer. Soon, there will be a massive Islamic terrorist attack in America and the perpetrators will have likely financial ties to podcasters and those who are sowing discord for foreign nations in America. I predict there will be many casualties and only then will it maybe set in that people have been conned into supporting a terrorist siop to distract you from the threat of Islam. Well, the enemy plotted to destroy our country from within with bodied conspiracy theories. It will likely be 10 times worse than 9-11. And it's going to trace all the way back to the woke right in some way. Okay, so like I said, I really don't need, yeah, American needs another 9-11 to wake up and

team up with Israel. So we all agree, right? Like we all get it. We all understand if there's a big attack of any sort, claim to be committed by anybody and the sort of the danger of these people and their behavior is that now, no matter who attacks them or what happens, I think we should all blame Israel. Can we all come together and just agree that the people talking about how we need an attack, they're all Israelis, the people that are desperate to keep us in the Iran war, they're all Israelis, the people that are claiming that there's going to be an attack and it's going to go back to the woke right podcasters. Yeah, she's Israeli. So I think we know where this is coming from. I don't think we're going to fall for it. However, the worry is, like I don't even want to laugh at this because these people are psychotic. There is no doubt in my mind at all that they wouldn't set off a nuclear bomb in New York City to try to blame it on the Iranians if they thought

they could get away with it. And that is what it would take. It would take a 10 times 9-11 type of attack. It would have to take an attack so overwhelming, so crazy that it like takes down communications and it is like destroys an entire city to where everybody just goes, all right, well, crap. Like even if I think it is, I don't want my city to be blown up. Like it's going to have to be so big and overwhelming and fear causing that even with all everything that we know, even with all the crap we've been through, people will still fall for it because it's that scary. It can't be another 9-11 people would just know it's Israel. It's got to be something. It's got to be like nuclear bombs in three or four cities all at once. It's going to have to be, it's probably going to be multi-city. It's going to be across all of the United States. Again, if I'm game planning as these people, I understand that if it's just a little something, it's just one attack. You're going to get a Charlie Kirk effect where there's going to be so much investigation, so much attention on

that one thing. You're probably not going to get away with it. And even if you have the mainstream media and the authorities on lock, like you do for Charlie Kirk, it's still not going to stop the speculation and the the outrage and, you know, it'd be a lot more intense if it was a whole bunch of people dying rather than just one person dying. So you want to have like three, four, maybe five different cities at once. So nobody can focus on a single investigation. It has to be this massive thing that nobody can get a handle on. And they just totally confuses everybody because all every instance will have its own investigation. And you basically just want people overwhelmed and terrified so you can swoop in and act like you're the one in charge and just trust us. And well, we know who did this and we'll go get them and you just give us the power and we'll take care of you, ma'am. Like that's going to be the attitude to put forward. Again, so I'm just game planning this out, but I'm in the whole thing, just the idea, the idea

that people like us are being paid by foreign governments. When this crazy goblin lady is so pathologically devoted to her own people and her own nation and Israel, it is so insulting. It really is so insulting. To have people like Ben Shapiro and Sebastian Frickin Gorka with his overwrought fake British accent, dude from Hungary telling me, you're not American. If you don't enjoy being extra fugitive, you can take it over on. It's like, I get I know they're trying. I know they're trying to like the only reason I don't flip out on these people is because I just remind myself like, oh, right, this is what it's about. This is what they want. They want you to get pissed off and just start raging so you look like an idiot and they can point at you and go, we told you these people are crazy. So we're not falling for it.

We're not hating anybody. We are recognizing a threat and we are perfectly cool blood figuring out ways to rid ourselves of it. To get out from under that, I'm sick of talking about this. Can you imagine a world? Can you imagine a world where Israel didn't exist? Can you imagine a world where we could talk about things that actually mattered to us, where our resources were spent on us, where we didn't have this just persistent annoyance, this persistent little goblin screaming in our ear about what she wants and who she wants to throw it and how everybody hates her and everybody else is working for and government. She's the only patriot and she's the only real one. And I mean, it's just like enough already enough with these people. Put her in there. Put her in the arc of the covenant. Do the thing you did at the end of Raiders. Put her in a file cabinet. File her away. We'll break her out next time we need to want to kill ourselves by talking to her, listening to her for two minutes.

Put her in there with some dog food. She'll be fine. Oh, my God. Oh, right. I was, but, right. Sorry. I meant to talk about the actual false flag that Israel was directly caught participating in against Mexico. So let me read that from Buflito on X October 2001 Mexico one month after the attacks of September 11th that were committed by Arabs. Remember that two mysterious men entered the legislative palace in Mexico admit a protest by sugarcane farmers. One of the farmers in charge of security approached these men and asked for their identification on my computer screen. The men say they were photographers and that there is that they were there to document the situation kind of like the dancing Israelis. The farmers don't believe them and after a brief scuttle they proceed to detain them. They discover that in reality they are Salvador, Gerson, Smeck and Sarnoam, Benzvi,

two Israeli military personnel. These Israeli men were carrying two pistols, nine grenades, seaforks, explosives, and three detonators. They also carried fake Pakistani passport. So Mexicans would blame Pakistan for the attack. After these events a brief investigation was conducted and both were released. Because, uh, and this is the thing. If we had the David hotel bombing operations, Susanna and the attack on the USS Liberty, these are four times that Israel was caught carrying out bombings or falsified attacks against foreign nations attempting to blame some Middle Eastern country. Keep this in mind ahead of any coming Iranian attack that occurs in the US. This is the thing though. If you study Masad and you study these really special operations that they carry out all over the world and have since even before Israel was a country. And remember, Masad is not there to protect Israel. Their founding document claims Masad's purpose is protecting all Jews worldwide, not just Israelis. You don't have to be an Israeli citizen. Their, you know, purview is worldwide according to themselves. And they also were never

codified under the actual Israeli government. They are literally just a squad of murderers with no legitimacy whatsoever. They also suck. They also fail like more than 50% of the time. They try to kill some random Palestinian person. They end up murdering a waiter in Norway and getting embarrassed. But the thing is they never suffer for it. That's why they act so confident. That's why they think they can get away with everything because they do.
