STOP WAR

“I've never believed I don't think any CIA officer, past or present, believes or has believed that the Iranians were anywhere near a nuclear, weapon. They don't have a delivery system that could deliver a nuclear weapon to The United States. And, you know, when you've got two national intelligence estimates, a national intelligence estimate is a sense of the entire intelligence community, all 18 organizations within The US Intelligence Community, unanimously concluding that there is no Iranian nuclear weapons program, twice.”

“Afghanistan produces 93% of the world's heroin. Almost all of that heroin goes to Iran and Russia, and we want them to be addicted to heroin. It weakens their societies, and I never got it published. Well, fast forward years later That's disgusting. We've got a fentanyl epidemic in this country. That fentanyl is coming from China and Mexico. They want us to be addicted to fentanyl because it weakens our society, and that's why we're in the predicament that we're in.”

“Normally, there would be the National Security Council with detailed interagency assessments. There would be the, national intelligence agencies reporting. Our friend, Tulsi Gabbard, the head of the director of National Intelligence would be weighing in heavily. The joint chiefs of staff would be explaining doubts which they clearly had. There would be consultations with senior members of Congress. That was routine. In the Cuban Missile Crisis, the president of The United States consulted with the leaders of Congress in detail, by the way, even though this was an emergency commander in chief.”

“The only apparent consultation that was taking place was with the Israelis. And the Israelis really, really wanted this to get done. So why would you, as a practical matter, need to consult other countries? Because there is this sense, like, as an exceptional nation, we don't need anyone's permission to act. At the very least, you're gonna want political cover. You're also gonna wanna give them an opportunity to come up with plan b for their, let's say, oil or gas needs or transportation issues.”

“Zionism did not originate with Judaism, strangely, and or with Jews, I should say. Herzl was encouraged in his Zionism by a Christian Zionist. And Christian Zionism was an evangelical belief that the Jews should go back to make a homeland in the promised land or the holy land. And that has roots hundreds of years before these Jewish secular Zionists started at the end of the nineteenth century. It happens, interestingly, that these Christian Zionists were often rather confirmed anti Semites, that wanted the Jews out of their own country.”

“The MEK hires some of the most high powered lobbyists in Washington to get them off the terrorism list. And they engaged with both Democrats and Republicans. I mean, everybody from from Howard Dean to Rudy Giuliani. Howard Dean was lobbying for MEK? Oh, yeah. And Rudy Giuliani. That's pathetic. You should see the pictures of them together. It's sickening. At these big banquets in Washington to raise money for the the people who tried to kill the US ambassador? Mhmm. But they're the good guys now.”

“What if you were a military parent? Okay? So what has Pete Hegseth done this week? Made some videos, spent some time with Kid Rock with Kid Rock. What is he doing today? Sending out a a funny, a cartoon of him as Franklin you know, with Franklin the turtle before he goes into this hearing. We've got men and women serving our country. How would you feel if you were a military parent watching this?”

“I would stand in front of the main beam, not for like an hour, but I'd stand in front of the main beam for like fifteen seconds and go zap me. It won't do anything. It won't it wouldn't do a thing to me. And I'll tell you why. You go, well, why? I mean, these microwaves, ovens, and stuff. We happen to use frequencies that are so low, they're close to kind of RF.”

“It's more speculative, but the daily evidence is growing that the what we call the inter annual phenomenon of, ENSO, which is fluctuations in air pressure and currents in the or sea surface temperatures in the Pacific which cause El Ninos, which people know about, and La Ninas. It looks like a very large, maybe what they're calling a Super El Nino, is building for later this year. One of the things, for example, that happened in the nineteen seventy three, seventy four oil shock was that there was also an El Nino that year. It just, I'm remembering, and it was the combination that sent food prices soaring worldwide.”

“What he thinks he learned from kidnapping the Venezuelan president and then suborning the Venezuelan government is I can do a decapitation and then own the oil of that country. And so part of the motivation now was revenge, bring Iran back into the empire. But part of the benefit of bringing Iran back into the American empire is you get the oil. And he thought within one day, he'll get the oil because just like removing Maduro, he thinks gave America Venezuela's oil, he thought killing the Iranian governmental leadership starting with this religious supreme leader and then the top, officials of the government that were meeting that day with the supreme leader, he would take the oil.”

“It's this really remarkable semiconductor like silicon. Silicon is a semiconductor. It's a remarkable semiconductor that can amplify signals and withstand huge, huge power densities way, way, way better than traditional semiconductors or things that we've used before in the past. And that is really what's unlocked kind of a new class of directed energy”

“The thing that's extraordinary about this Gallup poll is people feel worse about the economy today than they did during COVID, than they did during the great recession. And so we have to pull apart why that is because, usually, like, a president gets blamed for for the economy that that he's presiding over, but it's usually not the president's fault. In this case, all of the almost all of the negative things happening to us from an economic perspective are direct policy decisions made by Donald Trump.”

“First of all, we should look at, Iranian invasions of other countries. As I said, it hasn't happened for two hundred thirty years if I have the, the arithmetic right. As far as I know, the the last actual military operation of Persia or Iran, was against Basra in the seventeen nineties. Iran is not out to destroy Israel. Iran does not want to be destroyed by a, a petulant, annoyed American empire from which it escaped.”

“The leaks that are coming out of the Pentagon, these are career department officials. Okay? These are people from the military, and the reason they're blowing a whistle is because they're panicked about our national security. That's a different kind of leaking, and the reporting that we're getting is extraordinary. When those people are sounding the alarm, that's a lot more than Jared versus Bannon versus Mnuchin versus John Kelly. That's a totally different game.”

“For the last decades, the primes have been focused on, let's say, going out and hunting a lion or lions, like big, big beasts. You know, they have to bring in the big nets, the big guns, the big whatever that they need to go hunt lions. The problem we see today are like mice and little mice that are running around.”

“The problem we see today are like mice and little mice that are running around. And what we're doing with our big rockets and our our big defensive systems are using the same thing we would go up against lions against mice. And it's really that fundamental.”

“The world economy is reeling. It's reeling because, as everybody has learned in their geography in the last few weeks, the Strait Of Hormuz is closed. As long as it's closed, it means that there is a worldwide economic crisis building. So time is not, permissive right now. We can't say, well, we'll decide in another month.”

“The CIA doesn't care about stopping the flow of drugs. They just don't care. You know, this this wonderful show on Netflix, Narcos? Yes. So in seasons one and two, just as the DEA is gonna go in and grab Pablo Escobar or grab the gentleman of Cali, the CIA station chief comes in and just screws the whole thing up. That's in that show because that's what happens in real life. The CIA at the time cared only about communism and stopping communism. And if the drug cartels were gonna tell the CIA where the communists were hiding, then the CIA was a okay with drug cartels.”

“And then it gives you a really nice defense against fiber optic fiber optic drones that you've seen these in The Ukraine now. These guys are about the drones that Tethered. Tethered. Yeah. They're dark we call them dark drones because it could be fiber optic. In the future, it could be, autonomous drones that just don't use any sort of RF or any sort of global positioning or any of that in order to see where it's at and to navigate.”

“You're gonna have to tear the place down to the studs, and you're gonna have to enact real controls. I'll give you an example. This may sound silly, but I think it's important. When I first joined the CIA, I had literally no idea the political views of the people that I was that I was working with. No idea. I think that to reform the place, you have to tear it down and then rebuild. And you have to have real rules that are really followed that you just cannot be political.”

“In District 7, forty 5,000 people are now without health insurance period because of the ACA subsidies expiring. And over a 150,000 people just in this district will see their premiums go two times, three times, or even four times. So a family of four that was paying, you know, dollars 2,500 a month is now paying upwards of, you know, dollars 5,500, dollars 6,000 a month. That's not sustainable.”

“A Florida judge issued a restraining order on behalf of a Florida woman, another woman, not also not his wife because Cory Mills was deemed to be, a danger to her and had, blackmailed her, with revenge porn, basically trying to share, you know, pictures and videos of of intimate moments that they had had with people that she wanted to go on and date. And she had to ask congressman Mills 11 different times to stop contacting her. And he he refused to listen, and that's what landed him in court and got the, got the restraining order against them.”

“Israel, thirty years ago this year, when Netanyahu first became prime minister, adopted a strategy that was explained in a public paper called the Clean Break Strategy. And those governments were Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. And we've now been pulled into Israel's seven wars. Six of those wars have led to blood baths and disasters, from Libya still in civil war, Sudan unbelievably in two civil wars because we broke the country apart and each of those two parts now has its own civil war.”

“In 1953, Iran was a parliamentary democracy. Iran had not invaded or attacked another country for a century and a half. This was a peaceful country. And in 1953, the Iranian prime minister elected, respected, prime minister Mosaddegh had the audacity, to say the the thing never to be said by this region, which is I think the oil under our ground is Iranian, not British. And, when he uttered that thought, that maybe Iran's oil belonged to Iran, immediately the British Empire, in the form of MI6, came to the new ascendant American Empire in the guise of, the CIA and said, we got to overthrow this guy, which of course they did successfully.”

“Pete Hageeht is in congress at a hearing today, and one of the things we learned is how much, this Iranian war has cost us so far, which is $25,000,000,000. I have a really amazing statistic from friend of the show, Spencer Ackerman here, Molly. That's how much the surge cost.”

“The Republicans here in Tallahassee are are truly breaking our constitutional, requirement, to to not gerrymander districts because they're unable to create the policies to keep in office, so they have to pick their districts in a way that the voters get, disenfranchised.”

“Right after the president won, I called someone very, very, very close to him. And I said, look. America just showed us the pendulum has swung to an extent. This is Trump's opportunity as in his early days, in his inauguration speech, really, to say let's come together. And when I tell you this person screamed, yelled, and cackled at me, like, come together, come to the middle. I mean, this person spiked a ball in my face, you know, punched me in the teeth, laughed their head off, and basically said, absolutely not. Every single naysayer out there should get on their knees and beg him for mercy and forgiveness.”

“Their priorities become our priorities, and all of a sudden, they're our only friend. And you can't tell me that's accidental. That's right. They're literally our only friend, and they're not a they're not a friend. They have a much longer term view of these things than we do. They they began to try to implement this policy in the sixties, and it finally came to fruition. It's prime minister after prime minister after prime minister cultivates not just American political figures, but but wealthy American Jews and says, look, you know, we've got a lot of lobbying to do.”

“But then every drone they're on after is pennies. It's literally pennies. The fuel that it takes us to take down an individual drone cost just a few cents, $5.10, 20¢, something like that. If you combine those two, then it becomes an equation of how many drones are you taking out in a given month, in a given year, utilizing that system.”

“Business people I speak to are still like, it's working for me. They they don't like him. They don't like lots and lots of policies. They see all the risks involved, but they contort themselves into pretzels to make excuses for him Because they love the access they have. This is what happened in Russia. Look what happened to all the oligarchs. Right? They chummed up to Putin. They made lots of money, and then he turned around and stabbed them in the back.”

“Could Israel continue the war without The United States? Basically not for one day. Could Israel actually survive the global opprobrium, including the American opprobrium of Israel's extremism? I don't think for one day, actually. Israel needs to trade. It needs tourism. It needs contracts. It needs finance.”

“Why would a president believe a foreign intel agency before his own? I don't know. That's really the $64,000 question. You you recall in the in the first term when president, Trump met with, Vladimir Putin. He did not take his intelligence people into the meeting with him. Putin took his intelligence people into meeting with him because the president said he trusted the other side's intelligence people more than he trusted his own. I'm surprised that that feeling, that belief has held over all this way into the second term where you would believe the Israeli information before you would believe your own people's information.”

“It basically looks for anything that has a computer board, and it uses a very high electromagnetic interference field to couple voltages onto the computer board so the computer board just basically, ceases to function. It goes to used to call this the blue screen of death when it was, like, Microsoft causing it on our computers, and we would have to unplug the computer completely and plug it back in, give it a real big reboot cycle.”
