67: Q-Hopium

A deep investigation into the FBI manufacturing of domestic terror plots and the psychological operations driving binary logic in modern American political discourse.

By Moe Factz with Adam Curry | 3h 44m listen | 55 chapters
67: Q-Hopium cover

About this episode

The FBI faces intense scrutiny over the alleged manufacture of domestic terror plots through the use of informants like Shahed Hussain and the implementation of the Black Identity Extremist assessment. This episode investigates how the Bureau utilized financial incentives and entrapment tactics in the Newburgh Sting, where four men were offered $250,000 to participate in a government-scripted conspiracy. These operations highlight a growing trend of proactive policing that targets vulnerable individuals to justify federal budget cycles and the expansion of the security apparatus.

Historical precedents of infiltration are examined through the lens of COINTELPRO and the revelation that Richard Aoki, who armed the Black Panther Party, was an undercover FBI asset. The discussion details the surveillance of Joseph Bolanos by the Anti-Terrorism Task Force and the legal framework of conspiracy laws that allow prosecutors to charge individuals for foreseeable group actions. Further analysis covers the role of John Sullivan at the Capitol, the media branding of the Haitian migrant crisis, and the deep ties between former FBI Director Robert Mueller and the Facebook corporate office.

Personal narratives of radicalization and family dissolution take center stage as the corrosive impact of QAnon is weighed against the technocratic 'trust the science' paradigm. The hosts reflect on the death of Ashli Babbitt and the subsequent media interview of Lieutenant Michael Byrd as a study in ideological inconsistency. Featuring insights from Michael German and Adama Ba, the segment concludes by advocating for Stephen R. Covey’s levels of empathetic listening to break the binary programming currently splitting American households.

adam curry· mo facts· texas hill country· northern virginia· lost tapes· interactive newsletter

00:00 Mo Facts with Adam Curry for September 29th, 2021. It's episode number 67. I'm Adam Curry here in the heart of Texas Hill Country and my friend on the other end somewhere in Northern Virginia. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Mo Facts. How you doing, Adam? I'm great, Mo. How are you? I am doing well. We have new gear today, so bear with me if you have no idea how everything's gonna go. Just trying to make it all work. We're growing and we're growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're trying to be better every single day, doing everything we can. It's good to hear, man. How's the 14-day period been? I missed your live, so tell me how that's going. Oh, the lives are great. If you're not hearing the lives,

00:57 then you are missing a large component of the show. I would say that. I saw the announcement. You had a cool secondary line to it there. What was it? Tell me what it said. Oh, it's the interactive newsletter. Yeah, the interactive newsletter, but it was something the lost tapes. Was it the lost tapes or something? That's the name of the product. It's the lost tapes. So we go over the clips that don't make the show. We go over visual aids that don't make the show. It was the Obama pick gate. Yes. We have people sending live screenshots and things of that nature. So if you're missing the lost tapes,

01:40 which is the interactive newsletter that complements the show so well. So yeah, please check it out on YouTube. I think moving forward we're going to first drop it on YouTube. Is that the idea? That's the plan. What we want to do is have it every Wednesday at eight o'clock you get something new from the show. Whether it's a new episode or if it's a It's the episode of Lost Tapes, which is live. So every single Wednesday there's basically something going on. Something's going on, 8 o'clock p.m. Eastern Standard. Beautiful. Alright everybody, it's episode number 67. Let's see, might as well get to the topic for today.

CHAPTER 02 / 55 Discussion

Binary Thinking and the Extremist Ideology of QAnon

The central theme of the episode is identified as the harmful effects of binary thinking, examined through the lens of the QAnon movement. The discussion explores whether QAnon is a standard conspiracy theory or an actual criminal conspiracy. The hosts aim to analyze how government-inspired "honey pots" and misleading efforts drive the public into rigid, binary logic, which they argue is a tool for societal control.

qanon· binary thinking· conspiracy theory· criminal conspiracy· honey pots· extremist ideology

02:20 Spin that wheel of topics round and round it goes where it stops nobody knows Mo Fax knows of course because he put it together the topic for episode number 67 is The extremist ideology of QAnon has captured the minds and imaginations of tens of millions of Americans Okay conspiracy gotta love it Or is it? What I read the other day was a great line. Someone said, it's not a conspiracy, it's an actual criminal conspiracy. I love stuff like that. I love it. So what we're going to do is talk about the effects of QAnon, other

03:04 misleading or misguiding efforts to take people into binary thinking. So that's going to be the theme of the show is binary thinking, how harmful it is. Yeah, I was reading something the other day. It was, is it a conspiracy theory or is it an actual criminal conspiracy? So what we're gonna look at is the effects of binary thinking and the harmful effects of binary thinking and we're gonna look at through the lens of QAnon and other alleged government-inspired uh, honey pots, I guess you would call it, or efforts. All right. So that could be, that could be an 18 hour show, I think. It could, but I condensed it down for the listeners, for the producers. So what I want to do is get into this New York Times opinion about why we shouldn't call the capital rioters terrorists.

CHAPTER 03 / 55 Discussion

Adama Ba and the Humanization of Capitol Rioters

Adama Ba, who was raided by the NYPD Terrorism Task Force at age 16 in Harlem, argues against labeling the January 6 Capitol rioters as terrorists. She suggests that expanding domestic terrorism laws and labels often backfires on innocent black and brown communities. The discussion touches on the specific legal definitions of terrorism, which require a motive for political gain, and draws parallels to the security climate following the September 11 attacks.

adama ba· nypd terrorism task force· capitol riot· domestic terrorism· harlem· 9-11

04:02 The witness yesterday was not dissent. They weren't protesters. They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. We don't have a domestic terrorism law. We don't have any of the tools to battle domestic terrorism. I think it's time that we had a domestic terrorism statute. The people who stormed the Capitol definitely need to face consequences. They're filled with hate. But we should not call them terrorists and we should not pass new anti-terrorism laws. Can I act funny? Yeah. In 2005, I was 16 years old. My apartment was raided by the NYPD Terrorism Task Force, FBI. They came, ripped the blankets off my head. My father and I were detained and put in handcuffs. The government suspected me of being a potential suicide bomber.

05:01 I was trying to avoid my emotions, depression, fear, anger. I didn't do anything wrong and I was still treated as a criminal. I was honestly just a 16 year old, typical 16 year old. My grades were great. My friends were awesome. I was into boy bands. I've heard so many stories, I've read so many stories about this. This is insane. So this is Adama Ba. And as she stated, she was 16 years old when they stormed her family's Harlem apartment, which that's going to be an important part in this show. Just keep, just file that word away. But even she was a victim of being alleged terrorist. She wants to empathize and not call these people. She's humanizing.

05:58 She's human, well, and then she's alt, well, it's kind of self. You know, it's a she's doing a bit for herself because ultra yeah, it's all true. Yeah, right It says only um, she said the war on terror will only backfire on innocent black and brown people Which I can't disagree with her, but it's the truth. It's like one of the things two things could be true We shouldn't call people terrorists because when you start pointing the finger at one at one group Like I said, they're gonna come in and make everybody get hit with that label. So that's one of the premises of this show. Well also the definition of terrorism has some very specific elements, you know, I'll get it for you. Was it political gain? Yeah, I think it has to be that. Yeah. It's the key part is for political gain. So, um,

06:53 Yeah, so I thought we'd open up with this. I would want to go back and maybe go through some things that happened around 9-11 because that's what's similar to what's going on now, how we're doing whole swaths of groups as alleged terrorists. Yes. And how it backfires on people. Any questions or? Well, I mean, that's a lot. I know it's a lot. Very, very loaded there. Well, probably as we go along. Let's see where we wind up. As a teaser, we'll get to one of your favorite wheelhouses, the six-week cycle. Oh, good.

CHAPTER 04 / 55 Discussion

Historical Precedents of Anti-Terrorism Laws and Racial Bias

A review of historical anti-terrorism efforts shows that laws passed after events like the Oklahoma City bombing often target minority groups rather than those resembling the original perpetrators. Adama Ba notes that while mass shootings are frequently committed by white males, police presence often increases in black and brown schools as a result. The segment highlights the danger of using the "terrorist" label loosely, as it allows the government to circumvent civil rights and target peaceful protesters.

timothy mcveigh· oklahoma city bombing· bill clinton· columbine shooting· domestic terrorism· racial profiling

07:33 So I guess we can go ahead and jump into clip number three. When I hear people say we need to expand on war and terror, or we need to make new laws, it's an insult to me because for some reason they found the laws to detain me and accuse me of terrorism. And these people essentially passed the most secured building in the country. just fine. History shows that having anti-terrorism laws just affect people like myself. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, former army buddies with a grudge against the government, planned the bombing. After the Oklahoma City bombing, President Clinton passed a law giving the FBI more power to go after terrorists. The law

08:15 didn't go after people that look like the Oklahoma City bomber. From now on we can quickly expel foreigners who dare to come to America and support terrorist activities. The same thing happened with the Columbine shooting. Mass shootings at school were mostly done by white males, but after the shooting police presence increased in black and brown schools. I want to call these white supremacists who stormed the Capitol terrorists. But calling them terrorists just gives law enforcement and other elected officials the ammunition to call peaceful protesters terrorists. People that look like me, who are brown, Muslims, black, those are the ones who are going to actually be punished. We don't need new laws to deal with white terrorists. The laws are there. It's whether you want to apply it to certain people or not.

09:06 This is the same young lady. Yes, and how old is she and she's 16 No, she was 16 when they raided her When they did the raid right? I think she's maybe in her mid-20s now Okay, still yeah, I know a lot of mid-20 years who don't talk that intelligently about these things Well, I did a poor setup of the show. So let me rewind back I know like what is he talking about the QAnon and Okay, there was some recent news that came about With who was in the crowd at the January 6th. Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yes, and the New York Times reported it That's why I use the clip from New York Times that set this up. Yes and a repeat on September 18th recently at that of course exactly right so those with those two are occurrences that was the

10:01 Genesis for this show to lay it out and I've been saying this what she stated was When you start pointing the finger around it's gonna get it's gonna blow back on everybody and they're gonna be able to blame it on Blame you know they hit everybody with that Label and what people may not know is when they hit you with that label a lot of your rights go away Yeah, so that's why it's a big pet peeve of mine when people throw that word around yeah, um So loosely, so what we got to do now is we got to go back to show 31 now. I believe that was bi a bay And we this is a vice clip and it's talking about the black identity extremist and

CHAPTER 05 / 55 Discussion

FBI Black Identity Extremist Assessment and Surveillance

In 2017, the FBI created the "Black Identity Extremist" (BIE) assessment following police shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge. This classification allows for invasive surveillance tactics against activists protesting police violence. The hosts discuss how the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) expanded the government's power to detain and surveil citizens, noting that the label of "conspiracy theorist" is increasingly used to justify placement on government watchlists.

fbi· black identity extremist· dallas shooting· baton rouge· surveillance· ndaa

10:54 On August 3rd, 2017, the FBI created the Black Identity Extremist Assessment using the Dallas 2016 shooting and five other unrelated attacks on police as justification that this movement exists. Black identity extremists now considered a domestic terror threat by the FBI. According to the FBI assessment, it was very likely that these terrorists would target law enforcement officers in retaliation for perceived police violence against African Americans. Due to the assessment classifying the group as a domestic terror organization The FBI is able to justify any invasive surveillance tactics used in monitoring these targeted individuals Yeah, this actually goes back. I do need to mention this this goes back to post 9-11 actually I think this happened yeah during President Obama's time in office

11:48 The National Defense Authorization Act came out and there was this whole definition of, it wasn't domestic terrorists, but it was, they had all kinds of weird terms. It's really easy to call anybody that. And that meant that they could roust you, you know, black bag you and take you to Guantanamo even if they want to. Or surveil you in any kind of manners that kind of circumvent your rights. And what I find most dangerous is the label of conspiracy theorists, you know, kind of gets you on that list, which I've always identified myself as a conspiracy analyst. Yes. I don't create the theories. I only analyze them just for anybody out there listening. I just only analyze them. That's right. We're in very dangerous times. I don't want to be alarmist, but

12:44 No, it's... let's just stop. Of course. Just, I mean, I get every day 15 emails from people who because of their government have to leave their job. You know, that by itself, forget calling someone a domestic terrorist, that's the power that is now on the table. It's out of control. It definitely is. Like I always say, it starts with us. So no one stood up and when they were throwing this label around. Now I have some questions about this gorilla mainframe, the name of it, how Vice covered it.

13:26 The way this whole piece was set up by Vice, I found it troubling. Please go listen to episode 31. It was some fascinating things in there about the shooters that inspired this label down in Baton Rouge in Dallas with gang stalking and those kind of things. So, the only thing I can say is this is surreal. Don't think we felt like this in 9-11 because it was us and them kind of thing You know, it was I do what you need to do and now it's partly to blame now It's us and us and our neighbor and what it's could be anybody. That's I think that's the point I mean, I can't I've become very cynical now. I just think oh, this has got to be purposeful. This is not a mistake anymore Yeah, and as you said people are losing their jobs every day and will that inspire people to take action?

CHAPTER 06 / 55 Discussion

Michael German on FBI Movement Manufacturing

Michael German, a former FBI agent and fellow for the Brennan Center for Justice, criticizes the FBI for molding disparate acts of violence into a singular "movement" to justify investigations. He argues that the Black Identity Extremist label was created to target activists whose actions are protected by the First Amendment. By connecting individuals to a named group, the FBI can bypass legal restrictions on investigating political activity.

michael german· brennan center for justice· fbi· black identity extremism· first amendment· domestic terrorism

14:22 I don't want to put that out in the universe, but just it definitely can be some weird things that happen and I'm looking at Tennessee. I'm still doing my homework on that one, but it's some definite Raw material they can use the lockdown even more on Questioning authority and and I have a real issue with that because I've been following this for a long time So let's go ahead and get to that second throwback clip from this piece and we'll move along with the show There's this perception that the government promotes that we are in a a stage of critical emergency because of terrorism. And that's because they get more power. And in order to retain that power, they need to find more terrorists. One of the most outspoken critics of the Black Identity Extremist Assessment is Michael German, a former FBI agent who did undercover work on white supremacists and right-wing militias in the 90s. He's now a fellow for the Brennan Center for Justice.

15:22 What incentive do you believe that the FBI has to make a label like Black Identity Extremist? A person cannot be targeted for investigation based solely on First Amendment activity. So by creating this Black Identity Extremism movement, They can use that as the justification to then target any activist who, or any black person who is protesting police violence. One of my problems with this kind of intelligence report is these are six disparate acts of violence that they try to mold into a movement. There was really nothing connecting them except the fact that they killed police officers and the fact that they were black.

16:05 First of all, I'm always surprised how I don't even remember some clips when you go back 30 episodes like wow Okay, a lot of them. I do remember but this one like I don't remember Yeah, so that was it. It's just we can't just do that if you're just a single person But now if we can connect you to a group and give you a name Now you're talking now now we're cooking and that's the scary part about it because in our connected world Social media and whatnot. They might look at your fault. I mean, I have a habit of following everybody back that follows me and Could that possibly be an issue down the road like oh he was followed by so-and-so so-and-so that let's throw him on a list I got like I said, I find it very troubling but this is nothing new to me. Um, I

CHAPTER 07 / 55 Discussion

The FBI Six-Week Cycle and Event Manufacturing

The "six-week cycle" is a concept suggesting the FBI must manufacture or facilitate a domestic terrorism event every six weeks to justify its budget and existence. This process often involves undercover agents or informants finding vulnerable individuals, egging them on via text, providing inert weaponry or vehicles, and then arresting them to claim a "thwarted" plot. The hosts argue this proactive entrapment is a violation of rights and fails to address actual radicalization.

fbi· six-week cycle· dallas bureau· confidential informants· entrapment· radicalization

16:55 Previous to your show, okay when I used to listen when I first listen to No Agenda now we can discuss the six-week cycle. Okay, yes. When you first, you and John first started talking about that, it was not when you first started talking about it, when I first heard about it, I was like oh yeah that's like the Newbergs thing right? Have you ever heard of the Newbergs thing? No, I don't think so. What is it? Oh, well, do you hold on? It's gonna be a perfect example of what the six-week cycle is. It was an HBO documentary on homegrown terrorists. So...

17:31 I saw this maybe 2000, I want to say 2000 single digits. I can't remember the year exactly when I saw it, but I was like, it blew my mind because I was like, wow. Like, I mean, we know these things. We know. Well, shall I explain the six week cycle real quick? Please do. Yes. So the six week cycle was told to, was conveyed to me by someone, let's just say intimate with the FBI, certainly with the Dallas Bureau. And, The the basic concept is the FBI for quite a while Every six weeks had to have some kind of event taking place to justify their entire means for existence and that is it appears that's a lot of what they do and If you read the affidavits every single time there's some bozo who wanted to blow something up It turns out that the FBI was talking to this person either through a confidential informant or themselves

18:29 for a year, setting them up, you know, egging them on, text messaging, oh you know wouldn't you want to blow something up and then they help them out get weaponry and then they give them the van and they put help and put the stuff in the truck and they give them a bogus remote control and it doesn't work and they arrest him and then they've saved the day. then six weeks from now rinse repeat and do it all over again and That is the case with so many of the FBI Big announcements. It's like what are you talking about? You guys totally set that up and let's humanize the FBI right quick. So Okay No reason why I'm saying it say they're acting in good faith to say well I

19:12 We have a gut feeling that these people are bad. So before they do something bad, let's be proactive and walk them into a trap. I still don't agree with that because as we said in the Cosby show, when you violate someone's rights, Even if it's beneficial to me, that's not a win. Oh no, no, I mean it's disgusting because instead what they should be doing is saying, hey son, you seem a little radicalized, you know, cut that shit out and maybe you should talk to somebody who's got her eye on you. Instead, they absolutely egg them on. It's one of the most disgusting things and no one ever discusses it. I guess mainstream never looks at the affidavits. I mean, it's all there.

CHAPTER 08 / 55 Discussion

The Newburgh Sting and Domestic Violent Extremists

The HBO documentary "The Newburgh Sting" examines the 2009 conviction of four men in Newburgh, New York, for a terror plot that critics claim was entirely manufactured by the FBI. The discussion transitions into modern labels like "Domestic Violent Extremist" (DVE), which the hosts suggest is a coded term for white nationalists. They also discuss the emerging categorization of "medical extremists" or "anti-vaxxers," arguing that the government uses these labels to marginalize those who rely on natural immunity or refuse specific medical mandates.

newburgh sting· hbo· domestic violent extremist· anti-vaxxers· natural immunity· domestic terrorism

19:55 Well, get your barf bag and go in and start number six. All right. Welcome back. A new documentary premiered on HBO this week called The Newburgh Sting. Now, it focuses on the FBI investigation and conviction of four men from Newburgh, New York, for plotting an act of domestic terrorism. But was the sting really a setup? And were the men more guilty of simple greed and idiocy than actual terrorism? I spoke with co-director David Heilbroner about his findings. I remember covering this story at the time and I remember what seemed to be an endless amount of squad cars, the SWAT teams, the aerial footage, and at the time it was exhibit A and busting up a terror ring and no politician within an area code couldn't have fought to get in front of the cameras to talk about how they just busted up an imminent threat at the time. But the more you read into it, I remember at the time, you started to say to yourself, wait a second.

20:51 What is the game that couldn't shoot straight now you look at it? Exactly Wait a minute. What those the guys who couldn't do anything? Yeah, so When I heard you first mentioned this on the show, yeah This is what popped in my head the new birds thing and it was right exactly. So Even more to the no agenda show but it's I What we see now, a lot of those people at one six, I know people, I know right now people are rolling their eyes like, why is he trying to humanize? Because it's gonna happen to both sides. These things don't happen in a vacuum. It's gonna happen. We saw black, BIEs came first. Now it's white identity extremists. DVEs. DVEs. What does that stand for? Domestic violent extremist.

21:45 Okay, so I'm surprised it just go and go all out for the white. I mean, but that would probably be well, it'll be It's just it's implied now DVE is implied to be white That's interesting. They didn't go out full hog on that one. Not yet, not yet. There's always this time left, I'm sure. Well, domestic opens up to any nationalist. So I mean, no matter of race. So I guess that's why they went that route. But Soon there's gonna be medical extremists. You understand there's gonna be no religious extremists those kind of things So well, we already have anti-vaxxers, which yeah sure There's some real people who are absolutely anti-vaxxers, but people who just don't want this vaccination Doesn't mean they're anti-vax But that's I mean our president is saying that our vice president is saying that it's the same. It's the same thing It's just as bad

22:42 And it's two problems I have with that. One, it's not a vaccine. So every time we say that, it irks me. Two, I can't be an anti-vax if my kids got their school vest tool shots. So I mean, that in itself is a problem. Three, well, I said two things, but the third one is your natural immunity. Exactly if I have natural immunity That made me anti-vax to that just thinks my body is superior to some or something a drug company can give me But I don't want to get on a tangent, but I'm just saying this is a very dangerous slope is Except the group thing Or you know get ran over, but let me get into my issue with binary thinking before we continue on okay, so

CHAPTER 09 / 55 Discussion

Binary Programming and the Human-Machine Interface

The hosts posit that society is being programmed into binary "ones and zeros" to make humans easier to control and eventually replace with AI. They discuss the "Spartacus Letter," a viral PDF concerning COVID-19 origins and vaccines, and link it to research into brain-machine interfaces. The theory suggests that by stripping away human nuance and logic, the population is being prepared for a transhumanist merger with technology, where communication is reduced to simple binary signals.

binary thinking· ai· transhumanism· spartacus letter· graphene oxide· elon musk

23:34 Think this is how they program society. You're a computer wiz um You program computers with ones and zeros. Yeah, they need people on binary Are you pro this or anti this you know if that's there's no nuance. There's no room for any Yeah, it's black little ground black white red blue pro anti Right, that they're programming society. And to do that, they can't have you come and have a nuanced conversation because that gets into fuzzy logic. Yeah, no Havzi's or anything like that. You can't do that. No, no, no decibel points. Of course not, because you know why? And we're going to go there early today. If you're trying to automate everything, computers can't handle that. AI can't handle that.

24:28 They need you to be binary so they can replace you. I'm gonna say that again. Yeah, roll that by me one more time. They need you to be binary so they can replace you. A computer struggles with nuance. That's why AI is so far behind the human mind. Because the human mind can look at something and see shades of gray. They need us to be ones and zeros so that at that point we'll become... This is when we merge with machines. So we lose that ability for logic ahead and let me just I know I know a Little bit of conspiracy therapy on both of us here from okay. Have you seen the Spartacus letter?

25:10 No, I haven't. The Spartacus letter went out yesterday. It's a PDF. I think the PDF is already deleted from the Google Drive or whatever, but it's posted everywhere. And it's a group of people and they lay out and there's like we're a group, you know, we're doctors, all this stuff. I think they're also clearly lawyers. And you just call us Spartacus and we're so sick and tired of this. And this whole thing runs down everything about the flu, about the lab, but really detailed. And I know enough about the non-technical medical stuff, and I've read enough of the medical stuff that it's obviously serious. And I can only debunk what I know.

25:49 At a certain point they talk about the gain of function research because actually this paper says the vaccine and the virus were created by the same people and the Peter It was EcoHealth Alliance, or whatever, Peter Daszak, and they hired some other mofos. Bottom line is that guy who was responsible for a large part of the mRNA vaccine for Moderna or BioNTech Yeah, he is deeply involved with another company which is literally interfacing wire electrodes onto the brain. The same stuff Elon Musk is doing only I think these guys are actually a little bit further. Right, so instead of stepping up their technology they dumbed down the human to binary decisions. Or prepared, prepared the human with an interface. I mean if it's

26:44 true some of the stuff I've been reading. If any of that is true like the graphene oxide. I mean it sounds like a huge conspiracy theory everybody but you know... You know what I'm saying is if you want to merge a human brain with a computer. It's only two choices the way they can communicate with each other. Well, I know, I know. Well, hold on unless it's quantum. If it's quantum, that changes, but that's neither here nor there. Your point of binary is easier. It's easier to make people dumber. Technology smarter. True, true, true, true, true. That's what they're banking on. It's like, oh yeah, you know what I'm saying? Let's dump down the human brain to binary ones and zeros. And then when we merge them with computers,

27:24 Or I mean when I'm saying merging with computers, that's even nudging. I'm not even I'm not going to the to the whole Transhumanism thing yet. I'm just saying when you want to control society it's It's make it notice the things they give us. Do you wash the back of your dish or no? Do you know do you wash your legs or no? I mean local news is full of these yes, and no poll questions, right? That you know that are programming us to thinking yes or no Circumstances and not like well, let me let me think about it for a minute. Well, it could be nuanced that conversation No, no, no, they don't want that but we'll be here for all night if we go there, but that's what this is

CHAPTER 10 / 55 Discussion

Shahed Hussain and the Recruitment of the Newburgh Four

Shahed Hussain, an FBI informant on the lam for DMV fraud, was tasked with finding terrorists in the impoverished town of Newburgh, New York. Hussain targeted destitute individuals, offering them $250,000, cars, and businesses to participate in a plot to bomb synagogues and shoot down planes at Stewart Air Force Base. The hosts highlight how the FBI uses financial incentives to lure people into conspiracies they would otherwise be incapable of executing.

28:05 This is the premise of this show, is to combat against binary thinking. And we're going somewhere, but let's get back to the new birth thing too. Now you look at it in this film and I want to play the first clip about what the original intentions of the group were. And then you can give us some context on it. This clip is again from some of the participants early on in the process and just how far they were willing to go at that point. Let's play the first clip. David Williams comes in and Shahed Hussain says, let's go to the airport at Stewart Air Force Base. So they drive up to the airport and they look at the planes. Stewart Air Force Base is the base that sends Air National Guard and National Guard troops at the time over to Iraq and Afghanistan. And Shahed Hussain says, we should blow up one of these. How do you blow up one of these? Well, I can get you a missile. Help us out. Give a little context. The informant that we're talking, Mr. Hussain here,

29:07 He went out of his way to recruit these guys. Give an idea, if you could, for our audience where he found them and how this quickly began an idea of, all right, let's try and destroy property into obviously what we saw in that arrest of May 2009. Sure. Let me set the scene right off the bat, which is this took place in the town of Newburgh, New York. And I don't know how many of your viewers know Newburgh, but it's an impoverished town, probably 30% unemployment. Most of the houses are boarded up. Someone once referred to it as Camden, New Jersey on the Hudson. Into this destitute community comes a man who's on the FBI payroll who's on the lam. He himself is on the lam from committing fraud at a DMV office in Albany. And the FBI says to him, if you can bring us terrorists, we'll pay you. And if you can get convictions, we'll give you a bonus. Oh, there you go. FBI, man, those guys are great.

29:59 Just bring them on in. If you can refer a friend to terrorism and you get 50 bucks. I mean... What a bargain. But the reason why I'm bringing... People are like, why are you going back? Because we all were victim to this around 9-11. It's like go kill brown people. Yeah, they crashed our buildings No, I mean nobody stood up because we were given a binary decision right either if you question you're not a patriot That was the key thing that you're not a patriot. You're not a patriot You're right if you know and you people were scared to even like why are we in Iraq? It's all you're you're not a patriot. Are you one of them? and like that's

30:40 We were there and everybody got caught up in it. Nobody, and when I say everybody, I mean the people that had a voice to stand up. You saw all the, you know, yeah, that's when the jets started flying over football stadiums and we became this militaristic, you know, juggernaut. Well, we kind of already were a militaristic juggernaut, but oh yeah, but it was also, I've been around long enough That's how America tries to heal and I think that was the last time that will ever work. And it didn't really work that long either. There's so much coming out. People remember all the lies and in an odd way, yeah, it's good because we have to recognize what the truth is.

CHAPTER 11 / 55 Discussion

Post-9/11 Psychosis and the Search for Domestic Enemies

The cultural psychosis following 9-11 created a climate where questioning the government was labeled unpatriotic, leading to the expansion of the security apparatus. The hosts draw parallels to the January 6 investigation, noting that the leader of the Oath Keepers was not initially indicted, leading to suspicions of FBI involvement. They discuss the media's frustration when a follow-up protest on September 18 saw a low turnout, suggesting the public is becoming more aware of potential agent provocateurs.

9-11· patriotism· military-industrial complex· january 6· oath keepers· agent provocateurs

31:32 You know, it's so uniquely American. The bombs bursting in air, the jets flying by, you know, salute our troops. It's, it's, that's the, that's the psychosis of our culture. Well, we didn't have a, we didn't have a real enemy then though. That's what we try when no no no we were still still vibing on World War II. I mean let's let's not let's overlook Vietnam etc. Let's not take a look at anything that happened there Korean War. Yeah because that was that was not a voluntary war for a lot of people that fought in it so that's that's why it's kind of

32:10 I mean that's kind of tainted Vietnam War is for you know America's we also we also didn't win anything we sucked and everybody lost in that the World War two at least we could claim victory and you know we saved the world and you know hey no problem world we're cool we're America And then the first desert storm was over so fast. We had to create like the generals for the Harlem Globetrotters, right? You know, it's like, okay, we need to create more. We need more. Yeah, so that's what happened. And we all got caught up in it. Seriously. And it's, remember the yellow ribbons and those kinds of things? And it's nothing against the troops. And that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is we got caught up in revenge.

32:55 And somebody had to pay and somebody had to be the blame that when things like the Newbergs thing happened, nobody questioned it. It was just like, oh yeah, they're all man, they're right at home. They're right next door. Yeah, you know, give the apparatus more money or more power. And what I'm saying is I'm drawing a parallel to what's going on now. When you look at what happened January 6th, Trust me. It's a it's a threat to be worried about and they weren't there that day. I'm just gonna say it like Absolutely, I mean yeah, I did the I don't know if I'm moving ahead of anything But the leader of the Oath Keepers, he's not even named in any indictment He's just person number one, even though he clearly should be indicted along with everybody else under the same umbrella

33:49 you know, equal handling and he's not. And the FBI is even, as far as I know, have even admitted that, well, you know, there was at least 12, maybe more. We're not going to prosecute anybody over there from that group just in case, you know, it turns out bad that it was FBI. And yeah, there's all kinds of, there's a lot of circumstantial and video evidence of the FBI being on Jean provocateurs and this wouldn't have been a show but I think you said it's September 18th I don't remember the date the one that happened recently yeah yeah the media frustration with it

34:31 Show up and it got to the point is like it got to the point where oh y'all are scared, huh? Yeah, y'all are scared. Oh, yeah, I know you like You know how I can show a bully try to provoke you. It's like oh, yeah, you're scared to come out of your house You know that kind of thing so they were the media was really aggravated that nobody showed up and the one guy that got arrested was He had a gun in his badge. Did you see the picture of like those five guys standing around all dressed identical, same hair, you know, obvious bulge in their pants where they got a small Glock. Total, total FB, the same watches. Oh, okay boys.

35:08 And we're seeing the same thing in Afghanistan. I saw a picture of that with, it was like three guys walking and like one guy had perfect trigger control and like the... Oh yeah, the new Taliban. Yeah, the new Taliban is all indexing properly. Oh yeah, yeah, it's the new guys. They know how to do it all of a sudden, you know. It didn't take much training. They just figured it out. Good to go. So I'm just saying we're seeing all this but I think that people are wising up to it and it's frustrating the media because they don't have the power that they used to because If you had the alternate, not hate that word, but the alt media or the alternative media or non-mainstream media then, it would have been quickly called out. But they're being derailed by another narrative and they're throwing a tantrum, which worries me. That worries me more than anything because when they start to throw a tantrum, it's very problematic. So I guess we can get into the third Newberg clip.

36:05 So this man is Shahed Hussain and he comes to Newburgh looking for terrorists. And he spends months hanging out at the local mosque, not finding anybody, until one day he crosses the path of the local blowhard, James Cromedy. Cromedy is a low-level marijuana dealer who's The only means of employment is he's a night clerk at Walmart. Makes about $14,000 a year. And Kramedy will say anything. Kramedy bragged to Shahed Hussain about blowing up police stations. He bragged to him about committing murders. None of which he did. If the FBI had bothered to check, they would see that the guy is just, you know, he's like Jackie Gleason from the Honeymooners, if that makes me a little bit. But he's a big

CHAPTER 12 / 55 Discussion

James Cromitie and the $250,000 FBI Offer

James Cromitie, a low-level marijuana dealer earning $14,000 a year, was pursued for months by informant Shahed Hussain. Despite Cromitie's initial inability to find co-conspirators, he eventually agreed to the plot after Hussain offered a $250,000 payout. The hosts emphasize that the FBI essentially "cooked up" the conspiracy, providing the targets, the plan, and the financial motivation to a man who was otherwise a "big talker" with no actual means to commit terrorism.

35:08 And we're seeing the same thing in Afghanistan. I saw a picture of that with, it was like three guys walking and like one guy had perfect trigger control and like the... Oh yeah, the new Taliban. Yeah, the new Taliban is all indexing properly. Oh yeah, yeah, it's the new guys. They know how to do it all of a sudden, you know. It didn't take much training.

36:05 So this man is Shahed Hussain and he comes to Newburgh looking for terrorists.

Cromedy is a low-level marijuana dealer who's The only means of employment is he's a night clerk at Walmart. Makes about $14,000 a year. And Kramedy will say anything.

If the FBI had bothered to check, they would see that the guy is just, you know, he's like Jackie Gleason from the Honeymooners, if that makes me a little bit. But he's a big

36:44 talker. But she heads to Hussein and goes, hey, I've got someone who might actually go along with this. So Hussein pursues Khramdi for months and says we need more people, we need more bodies, come on, let's get a conspiracy going. Khramdi can't find anybody. And Hussein eventually, when Khramdi just craps out on him, nothing seems to be happening, Hussein says, listen, I can get you $250,000, we can take trips all over the country when this is done, I can get you cars, I can buy you a barber shop. you know, James Cromedy all of a sudden gets really interested and brings in three guys from New Birds. First of all, 250 grand usually informants are authorized up to $5,000. So how all of a sudden, you know, he did a multiple of 50 times this, I guess is part of the question. He said that was code. I never figured that one out throughout the process. But it also turns out

37:34 that Hussein didn't record everything so at the end of the day those blanks in this really have to be filled in by the feds to in effect take Hussein's word for it. I can't believe I missed this whole thing I never heard of this. Oh and I forgot to tell you they're all black guys. I figured that of course. No I was gonna say that's the weird thing about it was It didn't get the media coverage. At all! I think it was so poorly put together that they were like, let's just take our win and go home. We don't want to... Especially like, hey, we need a conspiracy here. Let's cook one up, brothers. Let's do it.

38:11 So it's just fascinating that, like I said, you blew my mind when I first heard about the six-week cycle, but I had knew about this story and I knew about past history that we're going to get into a little later of events like this happening. That it's just, it's Man, it's it's scary what it is that you can go into poor neighborhoods and throw around a quarter of a million dollars to a guy that makes $14,000 a year and you don't think he's gonna bite on it even if even if his intentions are like But you got me it's better than podcasting I mean come on it's like yeah, you get anyone's attention It's amazing. So what now we're gonna go over to the

CHAPTER 13 / 55 Discussion

Muslim Public Affairs Council on Manufactured Terror Plots

The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) reports on the Newburgh case, describing it as a well-staged event designed for media consumption. The hosts compare the high-profile arrests to the Roger Stone raid, where CNN was tipped off in advance. They argue that the FBI and media work together to feed a "fear machine" that justifies government power while discouraging citizens from assembling or trusting their neighbors.

muslim public affairs council· mpac· entrapment· roger stone· cnn· fear machine

38:58 Muslim Public Affairs Council, the MPAC, and they do their own coverage on the Newburghs thing. We have breaking news. The FBI says it has thwarted a terror plot. We targeted four individuals that planned and schemed to bomb two Jewish facilities here in the Bronx and also to take down a military aircraft. up at the Stewart Airport. They stated that they wanted to commit jihad. Prosecutors described the suspects as extremely violent men who embraced every opportunity for terrorism. Investigators say the four Muslim men met in prison and hatched the terrorist plot at a local mosque. I remember he was sitting right over here on that side and there was a table here and he made his statements. That a woman should not be seen or heard.

39:47 And it was like, is this how he introduced himself to us? He's going to tell us women should not be seen or heard? He would ask about jihad. He would ask about a holy war. I did tell different individuals, I said, stay the hell away from him. Some ain't right about it. He hung around long enough to be able to get somebody to buy into his pot. To someone like Mr. Kramedy, who had spent his entire life in poverty, trying to support himself as a very low-level marijuana dealer, Mr. Shaqi Hussain's wealth, that was a very big thing to him. It was crazy. All these different news media started converging onto the property, and automatically I knew it was manufactured.

40:40 I was the first one to say that this was entrapment. Wow, this is good. As the meat as they said the media is working hand in hand with these letter are These letters three letter agencies three letter three letter agencies there there a you want a good story you want to scoop? Meet me down in Newburgh. That's cocky and that's just like Roger Stone when you know in Florida they they did they raided his house at 5 in the morning, and they called CNN and Yeah, and that was the point I made about Cosby as well. That when they want to make a statement and through the media, these organizations work together.

41:26 One if you make it if you make an enemy then I can report on it. So it's no it's a it's mutually beneficial to both parties You get the scoop, you know, if it bleeds it leads and I get to I get to feed the machine The fear machine that no begets more fear and I think that it's Like I said, if it's going on now then it has to be going on now and some dupes are out there Right as we speak getting do as we speak get me do yeah getting duped Yeah, and what it also does is it makes people fear to assemble including myself I would love to intermingle with people but as you know, you know say I don't do groups I don't I mean cuz I am smart enough or paranoid enough whichever way you want to put it and

42:25 That I know all it takes is a snapshot with your arm around somebody or the arm around you That's all it takes and and they can build a story or a narrative off of that image like oh look at them You know look at look at this guy look no mo facts with this guy over here And I don't know him from a can of paint, but there you have it you know and you shouldn't have to live like that, but this is the you know the oppression of fear and Yeah, and it's, and you're right, it's for everybody. The color doesn't mean much, although...

CHAPTER 14 / 55 Discussion

FBI Culture and the Facebook Office of Robert Mueller

Following 9-11, the FBI adopted a "no tolerance" policy that led to the erosion of legal boundaries. A 2009 Time Magazine article revealed that then-FBI Director Robert Mueller had his own office within the Facebook building, illustrating the deep ties between big tech and government surveillance. Adam Curry notes that he built Podcasting 2.0 specifically to protect free speech from this type of centralized government and corporate interference.

43:02 DVEs man, it's really white guys. There's no black people there. Well, you know, I'm gonna say it like this if they can make Larry Elder white, white supremacist, yeah, he would make a black guy. He was the black face of white supremacy. That was the line. Yeah, beautiful. How can you be if they can do that and the media's report that with a straight face and like I said, I have my issues with some of the takes Larry Elder has, but if they can read If they can make people believe that, they could easily make you a black man into a DVE. So let's get into the final clip from the impact. The government made this movie and I believe it, except I know how the movie is made. The arrest itself was a well staged event. I think Hollywood would have been quite proud. Everything was designed so that every newspaper in New York could say the FBI made a big arrest.

44:03 It's the best press. Standing next to the really bad guy when you caught him before there's a crime. Everybody wants to say, I saved America. The mood within the FBI after 9-11 was that the rules don't apply anymore. But the one message that was clear, and for me and the other FBI executives at the time, it was there will be no tolerance for another terrorist attack in this country under any circumstances. The more I started to see what the government had done in here and what the FBI had done here, you realize everybody does really, really, really ugly things. And once you see something like that, you can't unsee it. There could be people there. You ain't hurt nobody. Somebody could be in that plane cleaning planes or something. You know what I'm saying? You want to just destroy property. You want to take them lives. Yeah, he'll tell you that. Me too. We ain't for taking no lives.

45:01 They try to say my son was a ruthless killer What David they talking about then when I found out how? Devious the government really is and he was like well your son's a terrorist. I said no You're the terrorists you go home and look in the mirror You created this whole scene Created a movie. That's right. Well. Yeah, yeah, it's quite easy these days And now that you don't need the, all you need is some footage from a cell phone camera and you can use social media, you know, it's even more dangerous because

45:43 Yeah, you could take any angle I mean any angle from any scene and make it look like you want to make it look And make sure out to be the bad guy and then any new story you throw a couple thousand bots against it And John and I have always said the internet made it You know didn't really make it better for freedom and free speech it made it that much easier for the government to propagandize That's true, but I had to push back against that because it get put it on equal footing footing well that's okay pushing back to your pushback if you go look at the two thousand I say maybe it's 2009 or something 2008 2009 Time magazine Zuckerberg was man of the year

46:31 And in that article, Robert Mueller pops his head into Zuckerberg's office during the interview and says, hey, you know, I was just in my office here in the building. Now, Mueller was director of FBI at the time. He was the director of FBI and had his own office in the Facebook building. Yeah, but what I'm saying is we got two guys with two microphones and a couple laptops. Ah, okay, okay. Yeah, of course. Obviously. That's the problem. That's the problem that they didn't foresee. Oh, this is why I built Podcasting 2.0. I need to protect us. Yeah. And they never thought that... I'll make... I gotta make these two points. I don't want to belabor them, but I can't let it slip past. One, with the Newberg situation,

CHAPTER 15 / 55 Discussion

Haitian Border Crisis and Racial Branding in Media

The hosts discuss the optics of the Haitian migrant crisis at the U.S. border, contrasting the media's reaction to 20,000 Haitians with the unvetted arrival of Afghan refugees. They suggest that the "branding" of a crisis often uses race to trigger specific fears in different segments of society. While some view the border situation as a matter of economic competition, others argue that the visual of black migrants under a bridge was used symbolically to signal that the border was being closed.

haiti· afghanistan· border patrol· fox news· immigration· racial optics

47:20 If you make black people the face of something, you're going to get a segment of society behind it to rail against it. I'm going to give you an example, Haiti. the border. Millions came in, brown people came into this country freely, Afghans, this unvetted came into this country freely, but let 20,000 Haitians show up. Now we of course know on this show that all black people are not the same as far as you have ADAS, non-ADAS, Haitians, whatever. But to the viewing audience you see a

47:57 There were is a horde of black people headed towards the border. Oh everybody got in line Oh, no, no, no, it's turn them around at the border turn them around at the border now Well, hold on a second again. We have to be careful because This was a little different than the because there's been a continuous stream of people coming in this 20, 30,000 person group from Haiti which were always identified as Haitians in every news report. It was really Fox News that pushed this. So this was, you know, what was different was you had a huge amount, it was just streaming across the river. I personally, I have a feeling that that's, yes, you're right, there's always going to be someone

48:45 But living in Texas, and I live in the Hill Country, and you know, so this is not your typical Austin people, they really are more angry about just the fact that it's happening than who it is. Is there going to be a contingent? Yes, but it's, it's, it's, I don't really feel like that. No, the Texans... We're like stop everybody. You know, I'm even Pro strong border the point I'm making is if you want to stop say okay now now I'm about to get cuz I don't do conspiracies But let's just say for instance that you want to stop illegal immigration say dang we blew out the border How do we stop it right send 20,000 blacks to the border if we stop then we can stop everybody. I

49:31 Because the view of, and I'm just telling you because the same thing with the Newburgh case. When you make black people the face of something, it's a little more scary to a certain segment of society. Now people on the border, even myself, I'm like, nobody should come here with, I'm saying the wrong way. You know, I'm pro-strong border because that's more competition, unfair competition is introduced to the ecosystem of our economy. But what I'm saying is the optics of it scares the crap. I don't know why. I do know why, but I don't know why.

50:09 It scared the crap out of not the conservative side, but the liberal side. Notice they had no problem with saying, turn them around the border. And I'm going to say this, who lives under a bridge? A person without a home. That was symbolic. Oh, no, you don't have a home here. Turn them around. That's just my view of it. Like I said, you can push back on it, but that's how it was perceived to me. Yeah, I don't have any evidence one way or the other, just what's around me. And in this particular case, now when it's brown people, I think that it's more prevalent because it's, ah, fucking Mexicans are coming, even though they're from completely different countries.

50:55 Just this one particular case. I'm not so sure I Mean you you may have you clearly have a different experience. It's just it's been so pushed that this is Haiti and it's Haitians and And the m5m is lying about them coming from their earthquake country So there's a lot of focus to make it softer in a way is what I'm feeling. I understand your point. I just I don't know if if subconsciously perhaps. That's a show for another day but I just want to make my perception of it. It's fine man, that's fine. Yeah, of course. My perception of it is when you when you make it a darker hue it's a problem. Now we flew people in from Afghanistan. Now we were talking about terrorism now, manufactured terrorism and with the Newbergs thing.

51:43 But we're bringing people in unvetted. No problem. Yeah, but it would hold on because I follow this that that news of the Afghan of Afghans being brought in which was starting to create an outrage by the way a lot of Afghans not brown just everybody knows you know there's a lot of white Afghans yeah But that was overshadowed by the Haitians As a news story so that's why I think that people's focus was turned away maybe purposefully because yeah There were stories about there was a couple of Afghans who immediately had to be deported because they were criminals So that we never would be mad excuse me whooping tail and choking people and stuff on the basis. Oh, yeah I'm just saying that's just a perception of mine if you it's like branding and

52:28 If you want to brand it a certain way, let people do it. And the reason why I brought that up, I didn't want to bring Haiti into it too much, but I think they tried that with this case because I don't know if it's known to you or not, but in every prison, and they made the point, they said they met in prison. In every major prison, there's a Muslim population of black men. Yes. So it's like, oh, we got a whole terror cell in every prison. Like this is a real bonanza. I remember hearing this after 9-11, so probably 2005, 2006, 2007. There was a lot of this talk.

CHAPTER 16 / 55 Discussion

John Mueller on FBI Informants and Stinger Missiles

John Mueller of the Cato Institute analyzes 70 post-9/11 terrorism cases, noting that more than half involved FBI informants working inside the plots. In the Newburgh case, the government specifically introduced Stinger missiles and required travel to Connecticut to ensure the charges carried a mandatory 25-year federal sentence. Mueller concludes that the crime would never have occurred without the government instigating, planning, and bringing it to fruition.

john mueller· cato institute· fbi· stinger missiles· federal jurisdiction· entrapment

53:06 Yeah, so I mean I think it flopped, flopped hard. Now you brought up Mueller, is that Mueller akin to John Mueller, the senior fellow at the Cato Institute? I don't know if he is or not. I don't know. I have a clip of John Mueller speaking on the Newburgh thing. Yeah, what I've been doing is a set of case studies that Ben mentioned. which are of every case since 9-11 in which there's been an Islamist terrorist who has either, who has apparently tried to do damage within the United States. This would include not only terrorists in the United States like the Hamburg people, by the Newberg people, but also the people of, like the shoe bomber and so forth, people who were based overseas.

53:52 So there's 70, there's now 70 cases and there's a flyer out there if you didn't pick it up with 69 cases but one just happened over the weekend so there are now 70 cases that we'll be looking at and most of them have fully developed case studies. The case seems to be fairly unique. This particular case is special in several respects but two in particular stand out to me. One is the first time the FBI actually went to actually have them push the button. Previously when they had informants, by the way, of the 70 cases or so, more than half of them have informants, people working in the plot, not just looking at it from outside, surveilling it, but actually looking within the plot. And of the 19 cases since 2010 or so, the 19 cases in this decade, 15 of them have been types with an informant working inside.

54:45 At any rate, in the early days, they were basically just getting information about this guy who wants to do something, and then they're trying to bring court cases. Then it got closer to actually giving them weapons or having to take weapons. My god, this is a great explanation of the entire six-week cycle concept. This is fantastic. Like you said, I didn't lead you, that's why I let you speak about pushing the button, but this is one of the first cases on record where it's like, oh, we gotta get him at the scene actually pressing the button because it's getting harder and harder to try these cases where, you know, where it's just An alleged attack this was plant was thwarted is the word he like to use this was thwarted Robert Mueller has four younger sisters no brothers, so all right different yeah different one

55:34 All right. So I guess we can get back into the second clip or John. It turns out the government did absolutely everything that the defense predicted in its previous motion to dismiss this indictment. The government indisputably manufactured the crimes of which is defendants stand convicted. And they did all the details. There's not the slightest doubt in my mind that James Cromartie could never have dreamed up this scenario, which actually became he actually became involved in. And if by some chance he did, he would not have had the slightest idea of how to make it happen. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt, which is extremely, not vague, but beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there would never have been a crime here except the government instigated it, planned it, and brought it to fruition. She also points out a couple of ingenious things that the government did do. One was they basically made it so that these guys would get their weapons in Connecticut. So that made it a federal case because he went outside of New York.

56:29 And the other thing they did was essentially pursue the idea of bombing with a Stinger missile, shooting a plane which presumably on the ground with nobody in it. It was flying. These guys would never in a million years be able to hit it. They probably couldn't hit it even if they're standing right next to it on the ground. But at any rate, She then basically, they did this Stinger missile thing which as pointed out earlier, made it come to the minimum 25-year sentence if you tried to take down an airplane or planning to do it. So, in many respects, the government made that happen because they didn't have to do the Stinger missile. They could have done something else like blowing up a bridge or something like that was originally there.

57:08 Grumman was incapable of committing an act of terrorism on his own and the informant was a prime mover, instigator of the criminal activity. I remember this now. I totally remember this with the Stinger missiles. I think they were doing that at LaGuardia or something. Think was the Air Force base. I'm not mistaken. Maybe possible. It's possible. Yes, I remember this Yeah, so that's that's the whole point and then they also had to sprinkle it and synagogues On the way to the airport we're gonna knock off a couple synagogues while it's at it to get certain people alarmed Empower so I mean it's like a dog whistle pay attention pay attention Right, so we all know what that with that

Dothard Perry and the History of FBI Infiltration

Dothard Perry, an FBI informant during the 1960s, describes the process of infiltrating radical groups and receiving cash payments for "hot pieces of information." Perry expresses remorse for misusing the trust of those he surveilled, admitting his information led to the undoing of various groups. The hosts use this historical context to show that the use of informants to disrupt political movements is a long-standing government tactic.

57:55 We're saying equates to when they throw the synagogues in there. But yeah, I mean this this is John Mueller, he said this is the first time that they had people on the inside working. Well, obviously he didn't know Darth Ard Perry, which he, this is a throwback clip from 41, just about, and it was a quick, it aired, this interview aired in 1980, and he did most of his actions in the late 60s, early, I mean in the 70s, ex-FBI informant talks infiltration. In the summer of 1978, I interviewed a man who worked as an informer for the FBI during the 1960s. His name is Dothard Perry, also known as Ed Riggs, also known as Bill Perry, also known as Othello. How were you paid? The pay was always in cash. Cash and you would sign a card.

58:55 It would go like this, a rendezvous or a drop off point would be picked out either by yourself or the agent. You would meet the agent there, and usually it would be in a vehicle. You get in the vehicle, he would hand you the money. He would tell you first to count the money. He would tell you the amount while you counted it. If the amount was there, he would then bring out a card. On that card would be for the week of such and such, in other words, the week was dated, so and so has been paid the amount of. Then you would sign the card and then the agent would sign the card. The reason for this is that if all of a sudden the IRS became very interested about where you were getting all this extreme money from, you could always tell them to go back to the Bureau and the Bureau would have your cards on file. Hmm. Hmm. Gotta get those W-2s. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh my goodness.

59:52 So this was going on in the 60s, of course with COINTELPRO and those things, and this guy was setting fires and intermingling with... Can you imagine how sophisticated this stuff is now, considering how long they've been pulling these scams? Yeah, but I think it works because it's not sophisticated. It's poor people, cash, You can get into places that we can't and that's the nuance we're talking about that humans have that, you know, even with technology, it's limitations, right? It's certain limitations that you can't... If somebody approaches you online, it's a little different when somebody approaches you in person. That's why these people are so valuable to these three-letter agencies.

1:00:46 So yeah, so you hear you heard him say it himself. So let's get into the second part of this clip Were there such things as bonuses? Oh, yes. What were they paid for bonuses were paid for? suppose while you were meeting with Are you were at a meeting with Bobby Seales? July of the Red Army Happen to come to the meeting too, which is something which would be a new development That's the best bonus time in other words a hot piece of information hot piece very hot piece Did you ever suffer pains of conscience quite a few times quite a few times? I still suffer pains of conscience I suffer from the fact that a lot of people trusted me and I misuse that trust I suffer from the fact that

CHAPTER 18 / 55 Discussion

Infiltration of the Proud Boys and the Legacy of 9-11

The leader of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, is discussed as a potential federal informant who was removed from the scene just before January 6. The hosts reflect on the "icky" feeling left by the lies of the Iraq War, such as Colin Powell's anthrax vial and the New York Times' reporting on yellowcake uranium. They argue that these deceptions have shaped a generation that is now more skeptical of government narratives and demands "clean wins" rather than manufactured ones.

proud boys· enrique tarrio· fbi· colin powell· iraq war· new york times

1:01:51 A lot of information that I gave out was the undoing of certain groups or certain people. Sound familiar? Welcome to the bottom folks. DVEs, welcome to the bottom. As you always say, it's you first. You just hold the door open. Here we are. This is the wrong door. This is the wrong door you want to go through. You don't want to go through this door because as we saw with the Proud Boys, They had the leader who was an Afro-Latino. He was working with the feds, allegedly. And they brought him in like right before he couldn't be at the 1-6 protest. They're like, oh no, no, no, we found you with some kind of magazines or something. We're taking you out the game. You know, that kind of thing. And like I said, we saw this with the mob. We saw this with all kinds of groups.

1:02:46 Either political or just criminal yeah with these infiltrators And like I said, I just want to humanize because they maybe they're saying oh well It's for the greater good, but you can't circumvent people's rights. That's my issue with it. You know Do it the right way if you want to catch people do it the right way Yes You mean like do it legally do your job properly and stop mucking around? Right don't don't infringe on people right? I'm big on rights because when I go in the courtroom I I would hope to have all mine protect me. And when I see other people's rights eroded away, that is a big issue with me. Because if you could take that person, even if I don't agree with that person, even if I don't like that person, they should have a fair trial. They shouldn't be entrapped. They shouldn't be, you know,

1:03:42 You know honey potted or whatever whatever the terms you want to use to get it I want I want a clean case because if my that's that's the thing if I'm not that way then I'm a hypocrite, you know, um Just say yeah get I don't like them. So do what you got to do to get no, of course, of course And I think like I said, I think that's a thinking that came that was the silver lining of the 9-11 thing a lot of people felt that way like That feels icky right? You're saying like that doesn't that didn't feel right even it. Oh, I understand I understand I live and I understand the buildings or whatever. I mean just take it surface level But Iraq like what are we doing? All right?

1:04:19 I don't make it make sense, but nobody said anything at the time, but I think that shaped out people my age and maybe a little younger. Well, that was two things. That was a lie, of course, but it was Colin Powell. who held up, you know, the vial of anthrax and then there was the aluminum tubes. That was a New York Times lie. They lied. Don't drop that yellow cake! Yeah, but it was totally based off of the New York Times reporting and they just had bad information. I would say they lied, but yeah. Oh yeah.

1:04:55 Like I said, but that shaped the generation of now. Oh, no kidding. It's not fair. I think we're Yes, the general population is more about fairness now there. It was just all pro-america. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah now Yeah, we want it. We want it clean like we want to win. We want clean win We don't want you know, we don't want to uh, like I said use your word not want it mucked up. So I Now getting back to the black, I gotta get back to it because we gotta go talk about the Black Panthers. And what they did for gun rights in a negative way. So just to catch people up, this came from 41 as well. And if it wasn't for the Black Panthers and them being given guns and standing outside a state capitol,

1:05:48 Then you don't have the gun rights that we have today or the gun laws not rights but the the the policing of gun rights that we have today and those guns were supplied by You guessed it FBI of course We begin today's show with explosive new allegations that the man who gave the Black Panther Party some of its first firearms and weapons training, was an undercover FBI informant in California. Richard Aoki was an early member of the Panthers and the only Asian American to have a formal position in the party. He was also a member of the Asian American Political Alliance that was involved in the Third World Liberation Front student strike.

CHAPTER 19 / 55 Discussion

Richard Aoki and the FBI Arming of the Black Panthers

Investigative journalist Seth Rosenfeld revealed that Richard Aoki, the man who provided the Black Panther Party with its first firearms and weapons training, was an undercover FBI informant. The hosts suggest this was a "double cross" intended to make the Panthers look scary to the public, thereby providing the political justification for implementing stricter gun control laws in California.

1:04:55 Like I said, but that shaped the generation of now. Oh, no kidding. It's not fair. I think we're Yes, the general population is more about fairness now there. It was just all pro-america. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah now Yeah, we want it. We want it clean like we want to win. We want clean win We don't want you know, we don't want to uh, like I said use your word not want it mucked up. So I Now getting back to the black, I gotta get back to it because we gotta go talk about the Black Panthers. And what they did for gun rights in a negative way. So just to catch people up, this came from 41 as well. And if it wasn't for the Black Panthers and them being given guns and standing outside a state capitol,

1:05:48 Then you don't have the gun rights that we have today or the gun laws not rights but the the the policing of gun rights that we have today and those guns were supplied by You guessed it FBI of course We begin today's show with explosive new allegations that the man who gave the Black Panther Party some of its first firearms and weapons training, was an undercover FBI informant in California. Richard Aoki was an early member of the Panthers and the only Asian American to have a formal position in the party. He was also a member of the Asian American Political Alliance that was involved in the Third World Liberation Front student strike.

1:06:29 The claim that Aoki was informed on his colleagues is based on statements made by a former agent of the FBI in a report obtained by investigative journalist Seth Rosenfeld, author of the new book, Subversives, the FBI's War on Student Radicals and Reagan's Rise to Power. Yeah, so once again, handing out guns. for political reasons, it's like it's the double cross. It's here's guns, look scary. So now we can implement what we really want to implement gun control. So that's my point. It was, I think the same thing with the Newburgh sting. It was here, here's bombs, here's stinger missiles. Now we can really clamp down on the domestic, like this was like the real,

1:07:21 Birth of the domestic terrorists because they were American citizens, of course What year was this again the new bird? I think I could say I think that was when I say 2008 or something. Yeah. Yes. Okay. So yeah, so it's well, they're not over there anymore They're over here and they're radicalizing as we heard they're radicalizing our American citizens. I you know, that's how powerful the narrative was. And like, and the same thing with Richard Aoki. So I think we can skip past, what we stopped at 15? We don't need to listen to 16, but I want to get 16a because as we heard on the last show, 66,

CHAPTER 20 / 55 Discussion

COINTELPRO Operations in Baltimore and Global Surveillance

The Baltimore chapter of the Black Panther Party was reportedly started by an NSA veteran as part of an FBI COINTELPRO operation to infiltrate the national organization. This agent later resurfaced in Canada as an agent provocateur for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The discussion highlights the international nature of these operations and the resulting "oppression of fear" that has led to the normalization of constant surveillance through ring doorbells and traffic cameras.

baltimore· black panther party· cointelpro· nsa· canada· surveillance

1:08:04 with the Black Panther Party and what was going on in Baltimore. One of the other really fascinating things in your book, you talk about the history of policing in Baltimore. And you've said, you told me before the interview that you sort of see some parallels today. We might be under a new age of surveillance, you know, if it's not already started today. And I think one of the most fascinating things in your book, you talk about how the, So, the Baltimore chapter of the Black Panther Party was actually started as part of a COINTELPRO operation, which is run by the FBI, to sort of infiltrate the national chapter, which was based in Chicago and in Oakland. Right. And so what happened was that an Army veteran who had joined the National Security Agency,

1:08:59 built a new headquarters near Baltimore, was sent here to create a Black Panther Party in Baltimore. That lasted for about a year and then he disappeared only to resurface in Canada as an agent provocateur. The reason why he went to Canada was that the Royal Mounted Police did not have any black agents, so the FBI lent him to Canada. Linda snitch. It's like, oh, you got any black guys down there in America? We need to rent a snitch. It's like, and that goes to show it's international. Hey, just out of curiosity, do we have any idea of the, at the time at least, of the racial makeup of the FBI? Oh no, they actually had black agents.

1:09:48 I mean that was some of the... No, no, sure, but I'm just curious what do you think the ratio is? Oh, very small. I mean they were hired like as... I mean, they had black agents that came to talk to, you know, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. So, you know, they always had the people. And like I said, dehumanize them. We don't want to, you know, dehumanize anybody. I'm sure they felt that they were doing the best thing they could for their country because we know some of these groups were based in communism as well. So they might have like, well, yeah, we're taking down this group, but we were fighting the evil red, you know, that kind of thing. And that's the, but that's the same mentality now, right? Is, uh, yeah, we're, you know, we're locking up the one six, but we're taking down the evil nationalists or that kind of thinking. And what I'm just doing is I'm laying out

1:10:39 It's back to the future. Totally. The whole way I'm walking it back, it's like this is happening right now in certain groups. It's people showing up with bags full of money, bags full of arms, whatever else, and making inroads in groups to, you know, to erode our way our rights. I mean, that's my biggest thing is like, As an Ontario said in this clip, you know, it's just surveillance. Look at all the stuff we gave up out of fear. You know, you can't ride anywhere. I was talking to somebody today. You can't ride anywhere without being recorded now. Oh, no kidding. And let's remember, let's just remember what's in your pocket. Even past your neighbor's house, the ring doorbells, the speed cameras, the ring doorbell network, traffic cameras, all those things. It's just normal. Can you hear me Mo?

CHAPTER 21 / 55 Discussion

Ring Doorbell Networks and Data Mining

The Ring doorbell network, licensed to police departments nationwide, provides a continuous view of American streets, driven by consumer fear of package theft. The hosts also discuss how apps like Spotify mine user data and drain battery life through intensive background processing. They argue that this constant data mining is used not just for advertising, but to "shape" society by controlling what people watch, hear, and believe through algorithms.

1:11:34 Oh, you can't hear me. Yeah, hold on. Yeah, it's the Ring Doorbell Network that has been licensed to every single police department in the country. I mean, they literally have a continuous view of almost every single street because we're stupid. Fear. It's fear. I mean... Well, the Ring... No, the Ring Doorbell... Yes, it's fear. Of course it's fear. But it's also complete ignorance. People really don't understand what they're giving up by doing this kind of stuff. Well, people were peeing on people's and taking craps on people's doorstep. I mean, of course we know. I can't say, of course we know. It's highly likely that Amazon was doing native ads to scare people like, look what's happening outside your door when you're not home. Oh, totally. Don't you want to know? I'm like, these stolen packages.

1:12:29 All those things, they, you know, and... Well, here, I have an example. I have an example, I think, of... This is maybe just a news story, but that's what was going on, is you'd have news stories where they talk about the Ring Doorbell, and those were native ads like this, I think. ... allegations tonight out of North Phoenix. A mother accused of abusing her own son, and police say they have the visual evidence to prove it. Nicole Marker and her boyfriend William Johnson now facing charges. Police started investigating after Markers young child showed up at school with a burn on his hand. That's a fun story. Later recovering thousands of ring video clips inside and outside the child's home near 32nd Street and Bell. Yeah, inside inside too. Yeah, that's like they didn't. They didn't tell you that part. Whoops.

1:13:18 Or like the kid, like the CPS coming to people's houses due to Alexa. But it's... Oh yeah, oh it accidentally recorded you. I'm so sorry. Right. So I mean that's all I'm saying is but as we just stay in Baltimore for a minute, The Wire, it showed us this. You know, of we saw in Newark. Started with the cell phones? No, when they had the camera. Remember they put the camera up on the corner. Yeah. You know, so... It was there, I mean, and it was like, okay, yeah, to stop crime. New Jersey was like ground zero for this kind of surveillance. And now it's just like accepted that you can't go anywhere without being recorded. I mean, almost to the point where it doesn't even exist anymore. Like, you know, you're not even conscious of being recorded. And remember that the best spy device is the one you have in your pocket.

1:14:11 Oh yeah, it tracks you, you know, tells you when you sleep, when you're awake. I read a great story this morning. Spotify, the Spotify app apparently is wearing down the battery on brand new iPhones. Like an hour of listening to Spotify drains the battery by 30 percent and the company says, well yeah, you know, it's doing a lot of data processing. Like really to play a song? Yeah, it's a lot of data projects and we're not quite sure we can change this. And the recommendation is don't let it run in the background. Oh my goodness. They're mining your whole life to sell it and I'm sure they'd be happy to accept a subpoena. Well, I would even say not only to sell it but they're mining your whole life to shape it.

1:14:59 How many times do you actually select what you want to hear next or watch next? It's like here, you watch that, you'll love this. And people are like mindless in front of Netflix and they're just like, okay, yeah, show me that. Or YouTube, okay, yeah, I guess I like that. So this goes back into the shaping of society and the social programming that's going on, which I find very, if you understand, very troubling. Wow, wow, this is something that you miss from the life. We talked about Michael K Williams Yeah, and my favorite role of his is not Omar

CHAPTER 22 / 55 Discussion

J. Edgar Hoover and the Fictionalized Dr. Narcisse

A clip from "Boardwalk Empire" depicts J. Edgar Hoover flipping a character named Dr. Narcisse into an informant. The hosts discuss the controversial theory that J. Edgar Hoover had African-American lineage, a fact they claim is suppressed because it complicates the narrative of a white man harassing black leaders like Marcus Garvey and Martin Luther King Jr. They argue that Hoover's primary motivation was often the suppression of perceived "seditious" or communist activities.

boardwalk empire· j. edgar hoover· marcus garvey· dr. narcisse· jeffrey wright· black history

1:15:39 It is chalky white from boardwalk Empire and when mining those clips for that I covered it a lot of good stuff in the live the lost tapes for 66 I Went across this clip again. I mean I was we're always aware of it, but this is a fascinating it's a it's a dramatization, but it's a character called dr. Narcisse and He was this, I think he was Bahamian, I want to say? But he comes into the black community and he's pushing the kind of self-empowerment, that kind of thing, but he's a pimp.

1:16:20 I think a drug dealer But you know he looked down on Chalky white the character character play by Mike K Williams because he's this elitist black person and Chalky white is like this poor, you know country southern black man, but the beauty of it is dr Narcisse ends up getting flipped in the show by J Edgar Hoover you entered this country through the port of New Orleans in 1898 is that correct I beg your pardon? Is that correct? Who are you? The one asking questions. 1898, yes. 26 years in the United States, but you're not a citizen. And that is grounds for detaining me, how? Why would you go on living in a country you don't wish to belong to? The exile does not choose us, Babylon. Your, um, compatriot, Garvey,

1:17:34 He thinks you should all return to Africa. That would be an oversimplification of his philosophy. What am I missing? I doubt that I could make you to understand. You seem to be a clever fellow. Who do you think gets to decide what the truth is? Truth is what those in power wish it to be. During the course of investigating the seditious activities of Marcus Garvey,

1:18:17 James M. Tolliver, special agent with the Bureau of Investigation, was murdered in Atlantic City, New Jersey by an unidentified colored male. Dr. Valentin Narcisse assisted the Bureau in apprehending the suspect. So we know, as we covered in previous shows, J Edgar Hoover really had an issue with Marcus Garvey. Well first we need to remind people because I think John Fletcher brought it up to me the other day that J Edgar Hoover was the African-American. He was black. He's a black man. Yeah. This is such a mind-boggling thing if you tell people like what what episode was that Mo if anyone wants to go back and check it. Do you remember what that was? I think that was in

1:19:13 Either 31 or 41 I believe it might maybe early, but I think we played it though Maybe throwback clip and those we've been on this trip for a while. Oh, that was a good one though That was one of my favorites that that's where like what how come how come this is not known? Because it's problematic to the narrative no kidding all right Black man harassing black men like Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King and no, you can't have that narrative, you know He has to be a cross-dressing white man. That's the narrative. I mean, that's that's what they want us to believe right as Right, he's a cross-dresser. I mean, I don't know if he I don't know if it's sexuality I just know he like dress up in women's clothes

1:19:54 But allegedly but he can't be a black man. Oh, no even though we have proof of his lineage You know that that will ruin What we always talk about by the narrator. That by itself just it blows your brain up Yeah, it does That's why they can't let it happen because then it's like okay, then why do you have it for black people? For black people then exactly uh, is it because like I said communism was a big issue with his as well as you were saying taking down uh, As he said in this clip, uh quoted as saying clips of dishes, uh groups so um, but I thought that's a wonderful clip of a agent flipping someone into an informant, um

CHAPTER 23 / 55 Discussion

Casper Holstein and the Origins of the NAACP

Casper Holstein, the "numbers king" of Harlem in the 1920s, was a major philanthropist and supporter of Marcus Garvey. The hosts contrast Holstein with the origins of the NAACP, which they claim was influenced by Joel Spingarn, a man with ties to government intelligence. They question whether the historical rivalry between W.E.B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey was exacerbated by government handlers on both sides to keep black political movements divided.

casper holstein· harlem· numbers king· naacp· joel spingarn· w.e.b. du bois

1:20:38 And let's just move ahead a little bit. The one that played the role of Dr. Narcisse was Jeffrey Wright. And he's on the Sway Universe, Sway in the Morning. And he goes and gives some insight and history on the character behind Dr. Narcisse. Is your character based on anybody in history as well? My character is based on a historical guy, but he's this guy really distorted. There was a guy named Caspar Holstein who in the early 1920s was the numbers king, the first big numbers king in Harlem. The guy was making like

1:21:20 $12,000 a day they said you know he was making millions early 20s. He was in the Virgin Islands He was an immigrant he came as a young as a youngster he ended up at one point Getting a job as a courier for a Wall Street connected family I think out in Brooklyn white family so they gave him a job eventually on Wall Street menial job like a janitor or something like that Apparently he ended up in the closets stuck in during the day studying the stock reports, the stock indices. And he would just study, you know, very mathematical mind apparently. What he did ultimately was he tied the daily number to the stock index.

1:22:02 So all you had to do was go to the newspaper and look at certain results and you knew what the number was. So there's no ambiguity, there was no way of fixing it. And that's how his game became the game to play. So he was making literally millions in the early 20s. He was one of the biggest philanthropists in the world, or in the country. Advocating on behalf of rights for the Virgin Islands. He also was a Garveyite when Marcus Garvey's Empire started to crumble he was the one who paid for Liberty Hall He saved the building that housed the the Universal Negro Improvement Association bad, dude You know who he reminded me of when they was telling this story no the the legend of Frank Lucas I

1:22:45 Yeah. Really? Is that really what you want to believe? That one black man was bringing in all the drugs that supply all of America in the 1970s? Oh yeah, please pay no attention to the involvement of the CIA or the military. Right, and the same case with this. There was no follow-up question saying, hey, was he really working with Hoover? Nope, nobody asked that. I mean, that's the million dollar question, right? Was he really working with Hoover? And you know what I'm saying, an alleged black man or a suspected black man, because he's saved from Bahamas,

1:23:24 Um, because we know when we say that word black, it means something different than how they use it. You know what I'm saying? So loosely, but making millions of dollars running numbers and he didn't come across Hoover's radar. Yeah. And this is our first time hearing about him. I mean, like, it's just, Like I said, it's just fascinating. Well, but what's cool about it is just like that with the Oath Keepers, you know, the terrorist, domestic violent extremist terrorist group, it's the same thing with the leader. And let's not at all mention Rev. Al.

1:24:01 Oh yeah, with the cowboy hat on, you know what I'm saying, buying suitcases full of cocaine, no problem. But what's the story? Oh, he took down the mob. It was the righteous justification of what he did. So yeah, it's That's the back story of, you know, the history of informants throughout, you know, early America and early the FBI going all the way back from the Black Panthers all the way back to Marcus Garvey and the creation of the agency. And then one more thing I'd just like to bring up is the NAACP was created by a person in a government agency.

1:24:49 So, it's- Oh, is that true? Yes! We covered that! Yes. Spingarn! I know, we covered so much! So much more. Yeah, Spingarn, which now they give out the Spingarn award. Oh, right! So it's like was what did they have control on both sides because you know Du Bois and Garvey You understand we're like kind of pitted against each other or didn't like each other Were they and we know clearly that Du Bois is being hand do boy do boy voice was being handled by um, Spingard was Casper the handler on Marcus Garvey side, you know that we got to ask these questions because good questions It's this it's the same thing going on like now it's groups

Value for Value Model and Producer Thank Yous

The hosts explain the "Value for Value" model, which relies on listener contributions rather than corporate advertising to maintain independence. They thank executive producers, including Chris Bergstrom and "Tiger Auntie," who offered to create custom "MF bling" (butterfly pins and rings) for the show's supporters. Adam Curry shares a personal anecdote about his mother and grandmother always wearing butterfly pins, making the offer particularly meaningful.

1:25:32 being pitted against each other or being afraid of each other but before we move on we gotta thank the most important people to the show, the producers. First the white man and the black man have to be able to sit down at the same table. The white man has to feel free to speak his mind without hurting the feelings of that Negro. and the so-called Negro has to feel free to speak his mind without hurting the feelings of the white man. Then they can bring the issues that are under the rug out on top of the table and take an intelligent approach to get the problem solved. That's the only way that they'll ever do it. That's right Mo facts with Adam Curry is a value for value podcast What does that mean? Well, we're trying to circumvent all of this stuff The first part is we don't want to be cancelled The best way to do that is don't get involved with anybody over there when it comes to creepy corporations I don't know. We could probably get Chinese money if we wanted no no advertising all we want is to be able to speak our mind speak freely and do it in uninterrupted environment and

1:26:32 And everyone helps with that because value for value means you contribute back whatever you think this show is worth to you. Could be nothing, that's fine. Why are you listening?

1:32:54 Knowing that we aren't alone is beyond encouraging and reassuring. Finding your podcast and the NO Agenda podcast was a godsend. We're starting to think I was simply crazy Jerry's still out perhaps on this Yeah, I got that a song by fire from the gods called truth to the weak Reimagined came to mind today as I was listening wondering if you've heard it I personally have not on if you've heard it I haven't either They're closing in on us at my workplace in regards to unclean human heathen human resources that haven't taken the jab You having the courage to speak out as someone not giving in gave me hope though. I I believe that this is a dress rehearsal for something else and that is about to remove removal of certain rights and the rollout of something else and a certain desensitization to it. I guess he's, what are you talking about? Guns, probably. I think yes, I think just

1:33:46 It's a test. It's like, what can we put in your body? There's nothing you can do past that. Yeah, once you do that, then you're right. I agree with that. I have faith in the truth and that we can stand through the storm, not automatically, that we will, but simply that we can that we can if we stand for each other and with each other as brothers and sisters. There's ugly blots riddled throughout our history and our foundation is rotten, the rot has spread and is spreading, but there's moments that shine through like a light in the dark. Lone candles in the wilderness at the bottom of the chasm. I think of the families in Germany and surrounding countries that hid Jewish people from the Nazi soldiers at their own voluntarily acquired peril.

1:34:28 and even the Nazi officers that went into their own pockets to provide medical care for the inhabitants of the camps. Not that it nullifies their actions, but still it shows an ounce of humanity, even in the most vile." Viktor Frankl wrote of these happenings. I recall the stories of abolitionists of yesterday and today, like groups like Operation Underground Railroad that are saving our children around the world from trafficking, and the worst of us. And I remember that there are also angels among us, so to speak, or maybe literally, The jury's out on that for me here too, but I trust that there are forces of light, truth, and good if there are forces of evil, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are indeed here as people or otherwise, whatever name we are to cast. We see the fruit of their labor, don't we? I believe so. I think I speak for many when I say that you guys are a force for good and a voice for truth in a moment of mass consenting silence.

60 Minutes on the Corrosive Impact of QAnon

A 60 Minutes report describes QAnon as an extremist ideology involving beliefs in a global cabal of pedophiles and a coming "Storm" led by Donald Trump. The hosts criticize the report for framing "doing your own research" as a dangerous activity associated with radicalization. They argue that the pandemic and the shutdown of Hollywood broke the "spell" of mainstream entertainment, leading people to seek out alternative media and question the deep state.

1:39:16 Time talent treasure. That's what it's all about If you'd like to support us You can get a new podcast app new podcast apps calm or go to Mo facts calm and give us some good old-fashioned Cuck bucks through PayPal or the cash app We will take it all and it's highly appreciated So I know everybody's like I thought we're gonna talk about QA 9 and what we did get Why did he go the way he went? I wanted to lay out the history of That way we can understand the present and maybe even predict the future of what's going to happen. So now we get to QAnon. This is from 60 Minutes, and this is QAnon's corrosive impact on the U.S. In just three years, the extremist ideology of QAnon has captured the minds and imaginations of tens of millions of Americans.

1:40:04 Their core belief? A global cabal, including Democrats, Hollywood elites, and members of what they call the Deep State, control much of our lives. The cabal commits atrocities, including pedophilia, Satan worship, and cannibalizing children. but it will be vanquished by Donald Trump in an apocalyptic day called the Storm. QAnon was born when an anonymous character named Q began posting cryptic riddles in an online forum known for hosting hateful and racist content. The movement prospered in pandemic isolation, its followers occasionally erupting in acts of violence, culminating in the assault on the Capitol.

1:40:51 But the prophesied storm never happened. Instead, Donald Trump left office and QAnon followers have found themselves at a moment of truth. The story will continue in a moment. The only thing I don't like about that report is the blatant lie that it's only Democrat politicians As far as I know the QAnon stuff about you know the the the pedo bear and it was politicians and elites It was never Democrats and from what I understand. It's a one world government, so I mean it's kind of hard to Party a two-party one world government, but that's the narrative and what troubled me in this is that I

1:41:36 They kind of lumped everything in there. If you believe in a deep state, you're QAnon. If you believe in children being trafficked around the world, you're QAnon. Most of the things we talk about on this show, we could easily be thrown in that group. And they also said that the key point I want to point out is this, they were a captive audience. I think with a lot of free time, people started doing their own research. And if you notice, research has been demonized. Like, oh, you're reading? Oh, it's not you. It was the QAnon people who are debunking the coronavirus. They do a lot of their own research.

1:42:26 Right. Which I have to bring this up. The big fish has landed. The king has been jabbed. LeBron James has officially came out and said he's taking the vaccine. And he had to make an announcement. And in there, he says, after doing my own research, So I'm like, oh, it's good for you. Research is good for you, you know what I'm saying? It's good for the narrative. It's good for the kid. Right. Well, it's good if you agree with it. But if it's countering and countering the narrative, then it's like, oh, no, no, no, you can't do your own research, which I think they had to come at QAnon for several reasons. One, I think when they shut down the machine in Hollywood, people, the spell broke.

1:43:15 And people started doing their own research and watching other content, listening to, I hate the word, but alt media. And that was a problem. And then what also happened is we started seeing celebrities and stars and their top people that pushed the narrative of Hollywood and elites They were normal. We saw them in their kitchens. We saw them in their bathrooms. We saw them, you know, all the lights and bells and whistles. It broke a lot of spells, man. Broke a lot of spells. And that was the thing. It's like, well, how do we get them back in control? Well, we make them fear research or looking into things. Like if you bring up, you know, anything in that list of things that we listed, oh, you're a QAnon. Yeah, just demonize.

CHAPTER 27 / 55 Discussion

Radicalization and the Disillusionment of QAnon Followers

Elizabeth Newsom, formerly of Homeland Security, discusses the vulnerability of QAnon followers after the "Storm" failed to materialize upon Joe Biden's inauguration. She warns that white supremacists are attempting to radicalize these disillusioned individuals by being empathetic to their views. The hosts counter that the media uses the QAnon label to demonize anyone who questions mainstream narratives on topics like the lab-leak theory or the Hunter Biden laptop.

elizabeth newsom· homeland security· qanon· white supremacy· larry elder· march 4

1:44:03 Which is a similar way with, it's in reverse of what they've done, what we listed in the first part of the show. Of, they lumped everybody in together by these loosely based, like you said, If you believe in a deep state, which deep state is a common use term by politicians. Yeah But if you believe in it, you're killing up that kind of thing. It's like what? They talk about the deep state they talk about the one world government. They talk about kids being traffic traffic Those kind of things. So it's just it's weird that they did this, but it gets even worse with the whole QAnon thing. Let's just go ahead and get into part two. Joe Biden gets sworn in and you started seeing chatter online. I've been conned. This has all been a scam. And they were out, which is great. That is rare for radicalized individuals.

1:44:54 Elizabeth Newman was in charge of policy to counter domestic extremism at the Department of Homeland Security in the Trump administration. The prophecies did not happen. The storm didn't happen. Is there an opportunity right now to, as we say, off-ramp some of these people? Absolutely. For many, it was a light switch effect. But for others, you see them struggling. They're trying to make sense of it. And so they're very vulnerable right now. They're vulnerable to being convinced about some of these newer theories. There's a new one that March 4th. March 4th is the day that President Trump is going to return and he's going to be president again. If we're at a moment where

1:45:36 Some of these people are disillusioned and maybe open to new ideas. Are far-right extremists, white supremacists, even neo-Nazis, jumping in to this breach right now and trying to peel them off and radicalize them even more? Yes, they see opportunity. They have been posting guides on how to approach a disheartened QAnon adherent, making clear that you don't want to make fun of their ideology. You don't want to be too direct about your white supremacist views. You want to be empathetic. Which I missed this the whole time. I just caught this when I was doing these clips. Storm the Capitol.

1:46:27 the storm. Yeah. No, I'm just saying that's why I think they use that term storm the capital. Oh, right, right. Oh, wow. This was Q and R related. You know what I'm saying? Because they said it twice in the last two clips of storm. I was like, that's a weird, why didn't they just say riot or, you know, it was just storms. They stormed the capital. They stormed the storm. Such a good point, Moe. Good catch. Yeah, so I found that just fascinating, but now it's like, where are their, you know, their nomads with nowhere place to go and they're ripe for the, being inducted into white supremacy. Which QAnon was all different people. I played clips from the show where

1:47:19 It was spreading throughout the quote-unquote urban community. I mean, we heard it on urban radio stations being discussed and the Boule and Puffy and other black celebrities was part of it. So it was, like I said, I think they wanted some way to get people back in line to say, if it doesn't come from your television screen, from a big network, Then it's fake. It's phony. No, it's dangerous. It's dangerous. You know, you don't want that. You know, alt-media, no, no, no, no. That causes white supremacy. You know, that kind of thing is the same thing with what we just talked about with L.A. Elder, right? Doing your research causes white supremacy. You don't want to catch it. Right. And it's like the white supremacists are empathetic to the QAnon listeners.

CHAPTER 28 / 55 Discussion

QAnon and the Destruction of Family Relationships

60 Minutes profiles a 28-year-old Army veteran whose parents, influenced by QAnon, began to doubt his account of being present during the 2014 Fort Hood shooting. The hosts discuss how political polarization and "Orange Man Bad" rhetoric have "ripped open amygdalas," causing deep rifts in families. They argue that the QAnon label is now used as a catch-all synonym for any conspiracy theory, including legitimate questions about Jeffrey Epstein's death.

60 minutes· fort hood shooting· conspiracy theories· family division· jeffrey epstein· amygdala

1:48:14 really troubled me was the impact that it has on parents. Family is horrible. Family, parents, and we see the same thing with the Vax situation that is dividing families. But I have some clips here again for 60 minutes and listen to how they talk about how it destroyed families. But their loved ones, who they said have fallen into QAnon conspiracies, are very much alive. And in order to protect their privacy, we aren't sharing their last names. Wheeler is a 28-year-old Army veteran who said he now struggles to connect with his parents because of what he described as their fascination with conspiracy theories. It's been a very slow death of the people that I once knew.

1:49:02 Now I don't recognize them and in a way that's been more painful because I haven't been able to fully grieve at any point." Wheeler served as an army medic for two years. He was stationed at Fort Hood in 2014 when a gunman killed three of his fellow soldiers and injured 12 before turning the gun on himself. It was frightening. It was traumatizing in a way. Wheeler was discharged in 2015. He told us he didn't open up to his parents right away, and only over time gave more details about what he said he'd experienced during the shooting. But he said the parents he returned home to had become more paranoid as they started being influenced by conspiracy theories, and they began to doubt his account of what he'd endured that day.

1:49:53 When I told them I was there for that shooting and I told them what I experienced, it was whiplash to me because I was met with a distant, icy neglect. So the QAnon conspiracies that he started following. made him degrade into more of an angry, more abusive, more distant person who now doesn't even really believe, I don't think, anything that I've said about my military service. How does it feel to have your parents not believe it happened? A betrayal. Wow. So I know people who are 100%

1:50:35 I'll just, I mean they say enough things that I know that they have followed a lot of QAnon. Very smart people, very commercially successful people, usually people who run business like retail. But what's interesting is that it's almost like they left Let's see if I can say this right. Like they left the entertainment that is television news or cable news and went to the entertainment that is QAnon. Now they're not, you know, they, I remember specifically like, well you know August it could happen, you know, Trump could come back. But they're not crazy, but these two, it's the two of them are both are into it.

1:51:22 But when you have a split in the family, which was already happening with Fox News by the way, just the fact that your parents or your dad would watch Fox News was enough to want to leave the house and not want to go to Thanksgiving dinner. So this is a complete... Really? We got Orange Man bad and they just ripped open our amygdalas and threw this crap in. And I think at this point it's easy, you can just toy with them. Like, oh, just add this, add this a little bit. And this QAnon, yeah, it was perfect. It was perfect. That's why I laid out the first part of the show like I did, of you get into people's, and they use the word ideology, right? Where you start to question everything because reality is so bizarre.

1:52:09 If you say six-week cycle, somebody will say that's QAnon. That's crazy! What do you mean? It's just another word for conspiracy theory now. It's a synonym. That's my point. It's like it's not about Q and those kind of things. It's anytime you question the mainstream narrative. It's a brand. Right. Anytime you question, oh, what about Epstein? Oh, you're QAnon. Oh, it's easy way to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Epstein was killed in a jail cell. He was convicted. No, no, no. That sounds like QAnon stuff. So it's like, who's really not living in reality? You know, it's,

CHAPTER 29 / 55 Discussion

Binary Thinking and the Breakdown of Communication

The hosts argue that society is being forced into a binary choice: believe all mainstream media or believe none of it. This "one or zero" logic is splitting families over issues like vaccines and QAnon, preventing case-by-case analysis of facts. They highlight stories of children cutting off communication with parents over Facebook messages, suggesting that the loss of nuance in public discourse is a primary driver of social instability.

binary thinking· anti-vax· mainstream media· family division· social media· radicalization

1:52:48 But it's the perfect wedge because, like you said, it's all about what media you consume to, you know, to divide. And that's their whole point is go back to the binary thing again. It's not, it's not, it's totally, it's about, okay, ones and zeros. It's like either thousands of sealed indictments or, you know, everything is a big lie, you know, or a QAnon conspiracy theory. So, The reason why this troubles me is is how it if we talked about infiltration to organizations this thing infiltrated the house the home the family the Where people can't even communicate with each other anymore And I just find it very troubling when you know

1:53:40 It's like all that like I said, it's binary. You have to believe all of the media or you believe none of the media. It's like how about we go case by case and see what we believe or don't believe. No, no, no. And the same is for Vaxx, Anti-Vaxx. This is splitting families apart. This is splitting relationships apart. Mm-hmm same thing. That's what that's why I have a problem with binary thing I mean that is a pet peeve of mine and and if you come to the lives I have a real issue with extremists now extremists are needed, you know, because that's what sets the The boundaries of our society right? You have a stream on one and a stream on the other right you have

1:54:15 politically, you have your super liberal people, you have your super conservative people. But that, when you look at a bell curve, that should be a very small portion of society. Now, this thing is blew out is to the point where it's just all on one side or all on the other and you just had to bleed everything whole cloth. So this is the real reason why I'm going to get into like the real, like the real depth of this show and the purpose of it, because this is a public service announcement. I say that in jest, but there's some truth to that because put the phone down, put the phone down, both sides.

1:54:58 put it down and just talk to humans, okay? It's okay. But let's get to the second part of that clip. Wheeler connected us with his parents who firmly denied their son's account of their belief in QAnon. Wheeler's father said he doesn't have enough information to verify his son's experience at Fort Hood that day and was skeptical of what he saw as changing accounts by Wheeler. He said the two haven't talked much in the past year. The six people who joined us came from Alaska, Kentucky, Georgia, Maryland, North Dakota and Canada.

1:55:34 They all had different sto the devastation of famili a year since I've talked her father was her main s with depression, anxiety, suicide. Like he was the p going through with it all in the end. And from about 16 to 20, 20 was about the last one that I really was sitting there contemplating this and ultimately pulled myself back thinking about my dad getting the phone call that his daughter had passed away. And that was also about the time that everything started to get really bad. So bad that Elizabeth said a year ago she had to cut off communications with her father.

CHAPTER 30 / 55 Discussion

Fake News and the CIA Origins of Conspiracy Theory

The rise of "fake news" and visible media manipulation—such as local news affiliates reading identical scripts—has led to a widespread loss of trust in institutions. The hosts note that the term "conspiracy theory" was originally popularized by the CIA to discredit skeptics of the JFK assassination. They warn that "overdosing" people with too much counter-narrative information at once can cause their brains to shut down and retreat to the safety of the mainstream narrative.

1:56:23 She said he inundated her with Facebook messages and text messages peddling conspiracy theories. Although she told us she later connected those conspiracies to QAnon, she said her father denied knowing what QAnon is. Both sets of parents said, no, I'm not QAnon. Yeah. And I'm just questioning. And what this is a product of is the fake news. A lot of people realize that the news is fake. It's manufactured. And... I could easily, the reason, let me explain what I'm saying. I could easily be a type of person that would believe the media because my dad would sit me down like, son, sit out here and learn something. See what's going on with the world. You know, and we would watch the local news and then, you know, Dan Rather was his guy, you know, before Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune came on. That was the routine. That was the nightly routine. And it was like to be informed, you had to watch the news.

1:57:26 Well, here comes 45 Savage and he says fake news when he says that it's like they just kept stepping on rakes and Proving his point that the news is fake. It is manufactured It is doctored is you know, and then you know, you have these stories come out like With the news guy that's like in the boat and it's in like four inches of water You have the clips where like all the local news stations are saying the same exact thing across all the affiliates I mean, these are some of the memes that came around about right that show that the news is manufactured and

1:58:06 Now and then not you couple that with what happened like I said with 9-11 9-11 was a huge wake-up call for a lot of people Because it's like hold on you want me to believe what my eyes what you say not my eyes. Oh, yeah, you know that was a written in and please pay no attention to WTC 7 That's, that's what you know what, or what I always get them with. I mean, not to get them in a bad way, but question and for the conspiracy theorists out there, if you want to successfully reach somebody or, you know, ask them a question, don't inundate them with a bunch of information because I think the real problem here is one side's brain shuts down.

1:58:57 From you know just being bombarded with too much Too much wokeness at one time. It's like whoa whoa what it's like cuz if you ever met like a real conspiracy theorist And they hit you with that OD the overdose of truth Yeah, it for you can see people brain. I'm afraid you bet your brain fries him Right, and then what that does is like, no, I want to be safe, so I'm going to go back to believing whatever the narrative is. Like, no, no, no, I can't digest that. A lot of people would say that, like, no, I can't digest that. So I just want to go back because QAnon, I think, is just another version of what I think the CIA admittedly started. They admittedly started the whole concept of a conspiracy theory around the JFK assassination.

The Decline of Mainstream Media and the Rise of Live Streaming

Recent admissions regarding the Hunter Biden laptop and the Wuhan lab-leak theory have rendered mainstream "fact-checking" useless in the eyes of many. The hosts point out that prime-time viewership for CNN and MSNBC has plummeted to less than half a million, while independent YouTubers and live streamers often pull larger audiences. They argue that the "magic" of big TV sets and suits is losing its power as people seek authentic engagement.

hunter biden laptop· wuhan lab· cnn· msnbc· youtube· live streaming

1:59:45 We have been here before. Yes, we have. But you are absolutely right that with the advance of cable news and internet and just the proliferation of media itself, I think it just became easier. They tried the fact check. Well, fact check, fact check, fact...and everyone now, you know, fact checking has fallen so by the wayside. We've seen in the past two weeks the Hunter Biden laptop, oh yeah, it was absolutely true. And in the past two months, we've seen the Wuhan lab versus the wet market, which has been there for hundreds of years.

2:00:24 So both of those things, people were de-platformed, it was fact-checked false, it couldn't be true, and now it turns out it is true. That, I think, and also the excessive amount of fact-checking labels and crap that's on everything has rendered that almost useless. They and I'm just gonna say CIA. I think it I think it's 100% CIA will bring in FBI You know the two sides of the same coin don't always get along that are doing this. They are just continuously pushing a new message and they've tightened it. And man, the political parties did a great job because once Trump came in, remember there's another group of people which is the same thing as Trumpers, Trump supporters, Trump voters, MAGA. All of this is being rammed into your head or into, they're trying to ram it in everyone's head mainly through mainstream messaging.

2:01:23 Which oddly enough doesn't really even have such huge numbers anymore You know MSNBC CNN their prime time is you know less than half a million people that are watching You have several youtubers combined. That's it they flip on their live and and blow it out of the water and pull CNN numbers. And I don't even believe, like I said, you turn off the gyms, you turn off the airports, you turn, I mean, like those just that they have no viewers left. Yeah, then it's done. Right. That's what I'm saying. And you have on the other hand, I can go and pull 150 people on a live. I mean, like, that's a lot of people. I mean, if you really think, I mean, we've got so caught up in the millions.

2:02:11 If you can gather 150, 200, I think you on the No Agenda show, y'all do, y'all the OG live. About two, two and a half thousand, two thousand, two and a half thousand. That's a lot of people. I mean come out live, that converge and no big cameras, no fancy, none of the spells, none of the magic, none of the, you know, what people really tune in for, that big TV screen behind people and the suits and the, you know, the makeup and that kind of stuff. They're losing their way.

CHAPTER 32 / 55 Discussion

Hegelian Dialectic and the Death of Hollywood

Mainstream media outlets like Fox News often engage in a Hegelian dialectic, promoting a narrow range of debate that serves their advertisers. The hosts argue that Hollywood is "dead" because celebrities have lost their status as influencers, evidenced by the declining interest in award shows. They suggest that people no longer care about televised content unless it directly connects to their personal lives, such as fantasy football or independent podcasts.

hegelian dialectic· fox news· influencers· award shows· fantasy football· mainstream media

2:02:46 But so they had to have QA and we think I'm sure not sound like a drug but but there is there is one there is one additional thing because a lot of the alternative media alternate media Is playing and we do the same obviously we're playing mainstream so like Fox News plays a lot of Stuff that they then comment on that is comes from the other guy, so they're really promoting everything you know giving this Hegelian dialectic choice And really YouTube, but also Twitter and Instagram, that's where a lot of the mainstream stories, that's where the clip service goes in. And that's become very important for this loop. And what's on those clips? MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, Trump or Trumper, QAnon, QAnon, anti-vaxxers, and DVEs go on and on and on. But at the same time, they're so ham-handed

2:03:45 That they just give you more material. It's like they sold so far out to whatever their advertisers and now this is where the advertisers come in at. The real power of us is the producers. Because all we have to do is come here and tell what we understand what we hear and see We don't have to worry about like the boulay phone ringing and saying hey You can't say that right you can't So it sanitize everything and it's they're kind of like robots like oh, I can't say that I can't question that

2:04:31 And they're slowly losing their celebrities as well. If you don't realize, Oh, that spells been broken. That spell is broken. I love it. I love seeing how the celebrities can't, they're not influencers. It's just not, they can't influence anymore. They can't get people take the shots. They can't get them to look at award shows over and done with Hollywood is dead. It's dead. But that's the arrogance of it. Like, Oh yeah, we'll get shut the machine off for a year. And the sheep will come right back. No, no, we don't care. I don't, like I said, I don't, only thing I watch on television is a handful of TV shows. I mean, that's like billions, a couple more. I mean, but it really is like based in reality. It's like those kinds of shows, but it's sports.

2:05:24 And I don't even watch basketball anymore. And I wouldn't watch football if it wasn't connected me and my 11 other friends in the fantasy league. It's like everything, everything has changed. We don't care what's on TV unless it's about us. You know, and like I said, that's a real problem to them. So I know people say, oh, you said it's going to be a PSA. All right. So I have the vaccine for this binary thinking. Let me describe five levels of listening itself. You might say it's a continuum of listening. The lowest level

CHAPTER 33 / 55 Discussion

Stephen R. Covey and the Five Levels of Listening

Dr. Stephen R. Covey's "Five Levels of Listening" are presented as the "vaccine" for binary thinking, with the highest level being empathetic listening. This involves seeking first to understand before being understood, providing "psychological air" to others. The hosts contrast this with the scripted nature of White House press briefings and mainstream news, arguing that independent media wins because it fosters a genuine feedback loop with the audience.

stephen r. covey· seven habits of highly effective people· empathetic listening· psychological air· feedback loop· white house press briefings

2:06:07 is to not listen at all. We could almost use the word you ignore somebody. You're not even there hardly at all, you're just into your own world or whatever. The second level is you pretend to listen. You may learn the body language and give the, you know, even the mimicking responses of the last person's sentence. It's called being married. The third level is to listen selectively. You are really hearing. Oh yeah, that reminds me. Let me share. Oh, I agree with that. Yeah. Oh yeah. Well, what you said back there, I know exactly what you mean. I've had the same kind of experience. Well, I don't know about that. I mean, see, you did understand, but your mind is so into your own hot buttons that you're listening always in terms of those buttons and those interests. But you did understand. The fourth level is to listen attentively.

2:07:10 You're really giving full attention out of real sincerity. That takes a lot of energy, really, to attend to another. But still, you're into your head. Mm-hmm. The fifth is to listen empathically, to leave your head, to get into their head and their heart. Oh, that's good. Where's this from? This is dr. Steven R. Covey my main man from the seven habits of highly effective people. Oh, of course. Yes, and it's Empathetic listening that's the vaccine and that's what we do on the show We come here not we're not just attentive to each other. We come to listen to each other I want to get in your head you want to get in my head like what makes a

2:08:00 You know, why do you think that way? Why do you know we just the follow-up questions and this is based off one of the seven habits of Seek first to understand then it be understood. That's the vaccine to this folks. That's it And it's it's really hard. It's really really hard for a lot of people and I know and I know I So I see all five of those levels just by the feedback we get from the podcast and Yep, yeah, it's like wow did you hear it that way? It's like right what you thought I said what it's really interesting But yeah level five is where we want to be and it's it's tough. It's it's very difficult I don't think it is I think a lot of people find it very challenging There's so many distractions just to look at someone and listen to what they're saying. That's the point right? The distractions me you get to sit here for three three and a half hours and

2:09:00 List full of clips two microphones and we listen to each other and it's like you're literally in my head loud, too right I'm not gonna I'm not sitting here waiting for my turn to talk You know, it's like you ask follow-up questions. You know, did you, we use analogies and those kinds of things, but it's, I'm not coming here just to talk. I'm coming here to listen, to understand, you know, and you're like, well, I didn't see it that way. Obviously, if you say it, you've heard me. You understood what I said. And, but I'm just saying, this is what we need to do with our families. This is, I find this to be a real problem.

2:09:43 In one sense, but this is why the alt media kicks mainstream media's butt. Because when they have two people having a conversation, they're doing lines. They're writing lines. They're reading scripts. Yeah, they're reading scripts. Even the... The White House press briefings, the questions are known beforehand. Most of the congressional hearings that you see, questions are known beforehand. It's all scripted. It's all of its line. Whenever they say I'll talk to you about that in closed session, yeah, you're going off the script here. Stop it. But that's why people don't find it interesting.

2:10:22 Because it's like I'm gonna say my line. Yes, bad acting. I say my line. It's just bad acting exactly right so This is why this this this thing that you created. I gotta give you a credit is You actually have people sit down We had we're having a conversation The person is listening to is part of the conversation in a passive way But they're even seeking first to understand and then there's a feedback loop They can write us a note, ask us questions. You can't do that with CNN. The lives, it's the feedback loop. I have things I want to talk about, but the live is like, oh, let me answer that question. Oh, well, you made a great point there. Oh, it's engagement. This is how we win.

CHAPTER 34 / 55 Discussion

Stress Levels in the No Agenda and Mo Facts Families

Adam Curry observes an uptick in stress levels within the "No Agenda" and "Mo Facts" listener communities, particularly on the Mastodon-based No Agenda Social. This stress diminishes the capacity for empathetic listening, which is the "deepest hunger of the human heart." The hosts emphasize that without the feeling of being understood, communication becomes a "choking" experience, leading to further radicalization and division.

no agenda social· mastodon· stress· empathy· psychological air· communication

2:11:14 Because this stops the binary thing. It's like hold on let me first understand what you're saying. Oh, let me make sure I got this straight Adam I have also noticed you know the no agenda audience is I think very forgiving, but do they do come from all ends of the spectrum and But in this recent round, after the QAnon, I would say now the Vax, Anti-Vax, just in general all the tension, even on NoAgenda Social, which is noagendasocial.com, we're federated, it's a mastodon server, like Twitter, only open source and not filled with evil algos, I can tell people are a little bit more on edge.

2:11:52 And even though they are all talking to each other, there's been a noticeable uptick for me in what I'm seeing in stress levels. People are a little bit on edge and that always diminishes the listening capability. Yep. The no-agenda family. Is not immune the facts family is not immune because we're still a family. That's right. And that's my point is You see how this father saved his daughter from committing suicide and the wedge was driven between them off of what reality is it's like home your reality could be different in my reality I can never know what you how you see the world and

2:12:38 I can never know. I mean, only thing you could do is try to relate to me how you understand it. And then it takes for me to say, okay, I'm going to sit here, be quiet, listen, really listen, like really? Try to put myself in your shoes and that's what Malcolm X is saying. Come to the table. Put your emotions to the side. Because that's the first thing, like I don't like that. Oh, he said that's what the family doing. Oh, he said conspiracy theory. Oh, he said QAnon. Oh, he said this. And it's both sides. Because QAnon, I'll be honest with you, I might offend some of the QAnon people out there. It's not about a secret society. It's like, oh, we know something you don't know. Ha ha. You understand? Oh, we know what that means. You know, oh, look at that hand gesture. Oh, you don't know. You understand that kind of thing. It was really well done. The game theory in QAnon was well constructed, you know, with the proofs and the rabbit hole and all this stuff, all these little terms.

2:13:37 Very well constructed and and honestly a lot of it was damn good mo I looked at stuff like shit. That's got to be true There was we know what it was very entertaining which I think 90% of people that got into it it was entertainment Yeah, it's like it's like a Dungeons & Dragons or yeah something like that like you know like oh I'll pick up my phone and get engaged for a little while, you know, to see if I can like a, it's like scavenger hunt. Like, can I catch that symbol? That kind of thing. I didn't really get into it like that because it was so readily available. I'm like, hold on, who's pushing this thing? Like really? Like, I mean, that was just me. I'm always skeptical. But you ready for your second jab at the vaccine? I'm ready. Bring it on, doctor. The fifth is to listen empathically, to leave your head.

2:14:28 to get into their head and their heart. Not that you are trying to sympathize or agree or disagree. You take no position at all. Remember how we have used the iceberg as a kind of metaphor? Well, it really pertains to this subject of empathy and communication. We talked about the tip being just the technique. You know what the great mass of the iceberg is? The motive. The deeper attitude

2:15:05 Are you really anxious to understand the magic really comes from the human affirmation process? If we were to suck the air out of this room right now, what would happen to our interest? They'd align. Now that we have air, does air motivate us? What is it that motivates us? The absence of air. The psychological equivalent of air is to feel understood.

CHAPTER 35 / 55 Discussion

Breaking the Spell of Logic in Family Disputes

Logic is often insufficient to break the "spell" of ideological possession among family members. The hosts discuss the tragedy of grandparents being denied access to grandchildren over vaccine status, noting that the "reptilian brain" prioritizes being heard over understanding others. They advocate for setting aside emotions to truly listen to the perspectives of loved ones as a way to preserve human connections in a polarized era.

logic· reptilian brain· family division· grandparents· empathy· psychological air

2:15:42 It is the deepest hunger of the human heart. But to give someone psychological air, it makes it almost impossible for someone to fight you. Oh, that's great. And if understanding his air, what is being dismissive? Choking. Right. And that's what he gave the analogy of the air. Now, air is not being sucked out of the room, but our freedoms are. It's going slow. We're slowly going to line. When that boot comes down and you start your freedoms, like, oh, you can't say that. You can't do that. You can't go there. You can't. Oh, it'll quickly align. But I wanted to say that because I've heard some things being said, people not being able to see their grandkids, family members. I'm talking about like in my inner circle and, you know, in the FACTS family, you know, in the no gender family as well is,

2:16:43 You don't let your kids talk. Okay, I understand one thing if you don't let a visit if you're hardcore Vax and anti-vax whatever side you're on but Not even to talk to the grandparents like where are we where are we headed? Seriously? Where are we really headed and I wanted to do this show to really address that to show how we're being sucked in and to, you know, binary thinking. Right, but logic will not get us out of this, Mo. I've learned a lot of things from you. The first one is you got to break a spell. You can't give a spell logic. That's not going to work. You got to break it. And however that works, it also has to be done amongst family members somehow.

2:17:32 Seek first to understand then to be understood and but that goes counter narrative counter to human survival and that's the reptilian brain, right? Yeah, yeah The real reptile right is I need to be heard first. I need to be understood first I need to be you know that that kind of thing me me me first because that's the human condition is to put yourself first, but when you really Really say okay. Make me understand You know, that kind of thing. So I wanted to bring that into this show because what we're about to talk about next is gonna take understanding. And it's part of the QAnon, it's part of the misinformation, and it's a lot of stuff going behind it. And that is talking about where we're at. Twenty-six. Yeah, twenty-six. This is the results of neighbors reporting neighbors.

Joseph Bolanos and the Anti-Terrorism Task Force Raid

Joseph Bolanos, a political independent who did not enter the Capitol on January 6, had his and his mother's apartments raided by the FBI's Anti-Terrorism Task Force. Despite Bolanos cooperating and providing his videos to agents, ten tactically dressed soldiers with automatic rifles stormed his home at 6:00 a.m. The raid was reportedly based on a single anonymous tip from someone who claimed to have overheard Bolanos bragging about being in Washington.

2:18:27 I'm thinking this is an event, you know, this is a crowd event and it was a real, very surreal feeling because there was also a platform which later they were saying was going to be the inauguration platform. There were a bunch of people up there and we thought, I thought, that there was going to be a speaker. Somebody was going to say something and all of a sudden they unfurled this huge, it had to be 70 foot American flag. I get goosebumps thinking about it and everybody went wild. And you have not only an FBI raid of your apartment, but an FBI raid of your mother's apartment. Let's fast forward a little bit and talk about that. What happened there?

2:19:09 Well, I was staying at my mother's because my mother is still in rehab. She's in a rehab home facility. So I was spending time there trying to clean up for her because I wanted to make it wheelchair access. They had visited me at her house on February 4th, Thursday. Four agents. They asked me if I was Antifa, blah, blah, blah. I said no. I gave them a copy of the videos I had shot. So I said, OK, fine. Everything is fine. A week later at 6 a.m. in the morning, I'm sleeping on the couch at my mother's place and there's banging. Open the door. Open the door. FBI, FBI. So I get up, I'm half asleep, I open the door and there are like these eight to ten tactically dressed, I guess soldiers with JTTF on them. One of them was pointing an automatic rifle at me, an automatic, yeah, automatic, like an assault weapon, about five feet away. He was, I guess that's procedure for them, but you know, you don't wake up, you open the door and you have soldiers at your door with a thing aimed at you.

2:20:13 Yeah, so we got this is I set that up poorly. I'm sorry about that. I lost my place, but this is Joseph Bolanos and he's a political independent that votes democratically votes for the Democrats he went down to the rally didn't go inside the Capitol didn't go inside and You heard the results of what happened? Not only did they raid his place, they raided his mother's house who was suffering from dementia. Did he say the ATF or ATTF? You might want to listen to that again. I was saying my mother's because my mother is still in rehab. I wanted to make it real Thursday for agents. They asked me if I was an Antifa, blah, blah, blah, blah. I said no. I gave him a cop couch at my mother's place and there's banging. Open the door, open the door. FBI, FBI.

2:21:07 So I get up, I'm half asleep, I open the door and there are like these 8 to 10 tactically dressed, I guess soldiers with ATTF on them. Yeah, ATTF, so that's not Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, that's Anti-terrorist... Hold on. I've heard of these jimokes before. Anti-terrorism task force. There you go. Anti-terrorism task force. Get your mom out of bed. 8 to 10 people showing up. And what I'm saying, and they're asking, are you Antifa? That's a weird question to ask. To say Antifa, yeah, interesting. Right, right. What was that question?

CHAPTER 37 / 55 Discussion

Dinesh D'Souza and the Danger of Anonymous Tips

Dinesh D'Souza discusses how the FBI convinced a judge to issue a search warrant for Joseph Bolanos based on a single anonymous phone call. The hosts argue that this represents a move toward tyrannical government, where "bragging and boasting" about attending a political rally is sufficient grounds for an armed raid. They warn that the system is being weaponized to encourage neighbors and family members to report one another for "radical" behavior.

dinesh d'souza· fbi· anonymous tips· search warrant· probable cause· tyrannical government

2:21:49 Let's just get to the way he's talking to the next to suit the Sousa which he had his own issues with being railroaded by Did by the government was that that was one of the most he went to jail. He went to jail. Yeah Put him in jail bundling of all things. I mean that but that's if you say that are you QA? Like he went to jail for things that are normally done in politics. No, no, no, that's QA That sounds like QAnon to me. But let's get back to Joseph Bolanos and what happened to him due to the raid. And is it a fact that the reason that they did that was that somebody kind of quote ratted you out, in other words, said that, oh yeah, this is the guy who was at the Capitol and the FBI evidently went to a district judge, Gabriel Gorenstein, who

2:22:43 Who gave them a warrant to make this search. Now I want to emphasize, you never went in the Capitol, but nevertheless, based on some information the FBI got, they were able to convince a judge that there was probable cause to make this armed raid. I want to show how on so little, I mean clearly they didn't have evidence you got in the Capitol because you never did. But, nevertheless, they come storming down your door and pick up the story from there. Because, like you said, you went down to the station and then what happened? I mean, double teams, raids, search warrants, what have you, on the word of one person on a tip line. And in the last year we've had during COVID three or four people who have been radicalized somewhat and they become political. And again, as a black president for 23 years, I've always been apolitical because I like to stress the commonality of our neighbors. Nothing political because the vitriol starts flowing. In this case, this individual was actually interviewed

2:23:50 by a local TV station and he claimed that he walked by the cafe where I was sitting at and that I was bragging about being in Washington and that I had footage or video of the Capitol. One anonymous phone call tip. That's all it took. That's it. That's all. That's great. And then he didn't even have a conversation with it. He walked past Him, you're saying bragging and boasting, which I'm sure he was, Hey, I went down to the cow. I was there, you know, that kind of, you know, like I said, I'm just going to be middle row with it. That say, even if he was to say, you know, look, look at my pictures. I was there, you know, that kind of thing, you know, bragging that shouldn't get your house rated. No. Where are we at? Like folks, folks pay attention one call. Yeah, but this is tyrannical government mode. This is not just a family issue. One anonymous phone call.

CHAPTER 38 / 55 Discussion

Drug Conspiracy Laws and the Concept of Foreseeability

A former U.S. Attorney explains how conspiracy laws allow prosecutors to charge individuals for the actions of a group if those actions were "foreseeable." In the case of Mandy Martinson, she was held responsible for her boyfriend's drug quantities despite never touching the drugs herself. The hosts suggest these same legal frameworks are being applied to January 6 defendants to pressure them into plea deals, regardless of their individual actions.

mandy martinson· drug conspiracy· western district of virginia· federal law· q-hopium· prosecutors

2:24:46 What I'm saying is what when they start your family starts making that call like that's acting a little weird That already happened that's happening no, they're saying that's where we're headed, but that's that's scary But you know what that's nothing new because if you're familiar with the drug laws and drug conspiracy laws This is nothing new For five and a half years I was the United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia. Mandy, from my understanding, was only involved for a couple of months with this conspiracy. And it was her boyfriend who was the more substantial member of that conspiracy.

2:25:29 But the way the law works is if you're in a conspiracy, you are legally responsible not just for what you do yourself, but for what the conspiracy does as long as it's foreseeable to you. So if you are the girlfriend of a drug dealer like Mandy Martinson and you have reason to know that he is receiving large quantities from a supplier and then redistributing those quantities to various mid-level distributors, Even if you never touch those drugs, even if you never benefit from them in any way, if you're in the conspiracy and you're aware of the quantity, then you're legally responsible for that quantity. It's like any other business. The person who stands at the counter of the store

2:26:07 and collects money from a customer and puts it into the cash register. She's a viable part of the entire business and is part of the reason why the business makes lots of money. Even if she's not there every shift isn't there for every single transaction. It's the same thing in a drug conspiracy. And that's a very powerful weapon for a prosecutor because a prosecutor can say to a Mandy Martinson Look, you're responsible for everything that your boyfriend did, everything that the people he was dealing with did. Because you were present when it happened. It was foreseeable to you. Even if she never touched any of that, it's hard for people to get their mind around. But a conspiracy allows, under the law, to charge people with really substantial quantities beyond what they personally do. Well, that's kind of good news. That's kind of good news. Well, because once we get one,

2:27:01 Then, oh, it's like you knew that your fellow politician was doing this and you're worried on that? No, no, no, no, it won't work like that. Yeah, it will. In the tribunals, yes it will, Moe. You selling that Q-hopium? Q-hopium, oh man, he nails it there. Another thing I gotta write down. You know him I love that hey listen. Oh, we've already got one sealed indictment down 999 to go mo I'm counting them no reason why I say that is if that was the case then Politicians would have been locked up because we could say hey you knew about that that kind of thing But it doesn't work like that no, but clearly reason why I point this out is this is how the war on drugs worked and

The 3% Trial Rate and Political Prisoners

Only 3% of criminal cases in the U.S. actually go to trial, with the vast majority ending in plea deals. Prosecutors use the threat of 20-year sentences for conspiracy to force defendants to accept probation or shorter terms. The hosts note that for January 6 defendants who view themselves as political prisoners, pleading out is a difficult choice, as the system is designed to make fighting the charges a life-altering gamble.

plea deals· criminal justice· january 6· political prisoners· conspiracy· probation

2:27:54 Catch two fish cuz in a drug and drug abuse conspiracy I think you had to have two people say they bought drugs from you. Mm-hmm So you catch two small fish say hey, did you buy drugs from Tony? Yeah, did you buy drugs from Tony? Yeah, go get Tony done right done It doesn't matter if you apply that to what Joseph went through. Oh, you should have known that we're gonna storm the capital What you doing out there on the block? Huh? Huh? You know saying you deserve to be roused And the real sick part about it is, and this is a little aside, but what percentage of trials do you mean? What percentage of cases do you think go to trial? Of what kind? Of criminal. Criminal. I don't know. It depends on the state, but I don't know. Just take a while. Just take a while. What percentage of cases actually go to trial? We need some Jeopardy music. Criminal cases? Criminal cases. How many do you think?

2:28:54 You'd be hoping that it was quite a high number. You'd be hoping in the at least the high 70s. 3%. And what happens to the rest? Pleaded out. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah. So what I'm saying is this is how the drug conspiracy game worked. Two people say you're selling drugs. You're done. Hey Tony, you're facing 20. Right cop out. Yeah, and you saw yeah, you saw that in the wire all the time, right? So the point I'm making is you're gonna have a lot of people that didn't do anything Copping please because like I don't want to face. I don't want to gamble my life on 20 years. Mm-hmm on a conspiracy I mean, how do you disprove a conspiracy? I mean like that's

2:29:41 That's like the hardest thing to beat. Okay, so what you're saying is the January 6th people who are still, many still in jail, that's really the conundrum for them is because if there's two people who say, oh yeah, I saw that guy, I saw him over there, you're in the conspiracy because it's been claimed a conspiracy and at that point it's easier to just plead out, which of course these white guys learn from their black brothers for similar reasons. And if you consider yourself a political prisoner, you can't plead out. Because you're there for the cause. See how that works? Like I said, this system has been set up, the apparatus is there, it's just you targeted towards whatever group you want to target it towards.

2:30:30 That's the same thing with the guys what we were talking about in a With this thing in the early part of the show. Yeah It's experience. Oh, yeah, they're gonna do it. Yeah, we got proof here that they were gonna do it So but I'm just saying so that's this thing has been around the conspiracy But now they're gonna start weaponizing. That's very scary. So Anybody could come and say oh, yeah, they were gonna take part in this you got two people to say it and You put me in jail, I have to plead out. I'm not gonna fight. They be like, you wanna go home today and be on probation or you wanna fight for 20? Just by, I mean, even, you had a lot of people take cases that they didn't even have anything to do with because the odds is just, I don't wanna take those odds.

CHAPTER 40 / 55 Discussion

Media Humiliation and the FBI-NBC Connection

Joseph Bolanos suffered two strokes following the stress of his FBI raid and the subsequent media humiliation. He notes that an NBC camera crew was present during his arrest, led by a journalist whose partner was a former FBI spokesman. The hosts argue this illustrates the "linkage" between the FBI and major media outlets, comparing it to the government's leverage over Mark Zuckerberg and other tech leaders through Section 230 and antitrust threats.

joseph bolanos· nbc news· fbi· jonathan deans· mark zuckerberg· section 230

2:31:21 It's a very nasty system. I wasn't aware of that. I wasn't aware of the 3% number and when you said plead out, yeah, okay, makes sense. That's shit. That's some nasty system. How do you beat that? I mean, like, how do you... You don't. So I'm just to let... Hey, started with us, they don't end with us. I always say that. They started with us, but it doesn't end with us. But let's go back to Joseph and his final clip. I want to talk also about the element of media humiliation, because as I understand it, when you were handcuffed and taken out of the car, there was an NBC camera crew that had been tipped off about the raid, and they were there to sort of film you. And so what I'm talking about is it's not just a matter of, because I mean, I know what this degradation feels like, but it's always magnified when you've got flashing lights and people shouting questions at you.

2:32:13 Is it not a fact that you have actually had two strokes subsequent to what happened to you? And would it be reasonable to assume that at the very least these events contributed to those? Without a doubt, these events did contribute. The first stroke was considered mild, they said, although in the ambulance, the records show, I pulled the ambulance records, my blood pressure was 220 over 143, which is hypertensive crisis, which is close to serious, serious stroke. And then I had another stroke about 100 days after the first mild one, which makes the question, if it's so mild, why to have another one 100 days later? So, and the second one was a lot more severe. Now, regarding NBC, there's an interesting fact here because often you hear the FBI when someone comments or questions them about an investigation, they go, we can't comment because it's an ongoing investigation. Now, the guy who did the NBC story is a guy named Jonathan Deans.

2:33:11 His partner, okay, at NBC, is the former spokesman for the FBI. So how does this guy coincidentally have a cameraman show up? They weren't flashing lights or anything. It was just one cameraman, but that kind of tripped me off. So you have NBC with the former FBI spokesman with the FBI doing a raid. I mean, common sense says that there's a linkage there somehow because it's not a coincidence. There's gambling going on there? For fear of sounding like Q or not, I would say Mockenburg. But like I said, I don't want to end up on anybody's list. But FBI to NBC? That's just down the hall. Right, like you were saying. Just down the hall. Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg! Like you were saying, like Zuckerberg and Mueller. These three people are in bed together. It's the same thing, but...

2:34:06 That's a two strokes. And that, and you know, the way that works with Zuckerberg is a good example. Government pressures that, you know, it's like, what did you hear? You don't hear much about it anymore. Yeah, we're thinking about perhaps regulating you, section 230, come back and talk a little bit. You have to ask a few more questions. So, you know, it's like they're also pressured. through the entire system. They have to do whatever they do in order to survive because they are in fact too big to fail. Well, mamas cover your baby's ears. I'm about to say something. Zuckerberg... I was wondering, do we need a trigger warning? No, not a trigger warning. It's just gonna be more adult content. Zuckerberg is the government's bitch. Let's just be honest here. All the big tech is. We know who created these companies. I mean, come, that's the narrative. Like he's in his computer, his dorm room, just writing up Facebook code. Bruh, knock it off.

2:35:08 It was saying they had they they pin him to say okay He's the face of the organization right and that's they like you said they have mobile barrel give us the information or we will what's the what's the? the tax benefit there they're allowed to have or Whether or not treated as a utility I forget what's called a section 230 or title Yeah Well, there's that, and also the antitrust, but make no mistake, government is in this too. If you look at the history of Google... I'm sitting there calling the shots! That's what I'm saying, they're calling the shots! Right, right. But it's not the politicians.

2:35:59 The politicians have their own leverage, but you have to look at which politician has real power and that always comes from either CIA Preferably or FBI Careful carry curry careful. You said anybody say deep state easy there I'm not hey. I'm no QAnon man. I don't say no deep state But that's We laugh about it, it's gallows humor, but that's where we're at because if you believe Apple, Facebook, Google can operate the way they want to, if they would give one man all that power, no. It don't work like that. It's like Zuckerberg and Melissa, they always call them down whenever they want to. Whoever, it's not the politicians, but they are doing the work of their bidders too, right? It's like, hey, bring Zuck down and bring him down a notch.

2:36:53 You're saying he's getting a little you're saying he's getting a little uh, a little you know, big-headed I don't don't make us make you take you down a notch But that's that's how it works and it's people that will never be voted out that call the shots. I Because they don't you know we don't elect our leaders the real leaders the real ones well They're supposed to be representatives, but they can't even do that nice. I use leaders for the we don't elect our leaders Good point we don't we don't don't even vote for him. It's not they're not on the list I

60 Minutes on Ashli Babbitt and the Shift to Violence

60 Minutes reports that QAnon became a violent threat only after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. The segment features footage of Officer Eugene Goodman confronting rioters and mentions Ashli Babbitt, who was killed while wearing a QAnon-themed tank top. The hosts prepare to discuss Babbitt's death as a "counterbalance" to the George Floyd narrative, acknowledging the high emotional triggers involved in the comparison.

60 minutes· ashli babbitt· qanon· eugene goodman· capitol riot· violence

2:37:37 So, going back to 60 Minutes and back to QAnon and how corrosive it is. on your radar as a threat? The general consensus at that time period was it could be a low-level policing concern because we had a few incidents of people conducting violence, but by and large, its ideology is not one that promotes violence, at least at that time. What shifted? What turned QAnon into a more violent kind of conspiracy group?

2:38:15 It didn't become a violence problem until Donald Trump lost the election. And then they felt like, oh, well, we better fix that, because otherwise Donald Trump can't fix this other big problem of the deep state. QAnon supporters charged into battle with the crowd storming the Capitol on January 6. Some were easy to spot with their Q signs and Q chants. Inside, Officer Eugene Goodman staved off rioters led by a man in a Q shirt. Ashley Babbitt, killed at the Capitol, had previously tweeted a picture of herself in a Q tank top.

2:39:03 You know, yeah, a horrible violation of whatever. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to talk about Ashley Babbitt and it's going to take a lot of empathetic listening to get through that segment because I know as I always say, this is why I wait to talk about certain topics. because I know it's very triggering to people and that you know, that's a Barrier to get over to you know, listen empathetically To be unbiased to seek first to understand and be understood so that's part of the show is just we have to take our time when we talk about things because It has to be digested. But before we do We got to get back to the producers. I like brand new money. I just I don't want any money around me. It's not

Producer Credits and the Ashli Babbitt vs. George Floyd Paradigm

The hosts thank Dreb Scott for his work on show chapters and transcripts before diving into the final segment. They frame Ashli Babbitt as the 180-degree opposite of George Floyd in the media landscape. While thanking producers like Alejandro Alocer and Miguel Espinal, they note that Babbitt's death as an unarmed white female veteran was treated with "crickets" or justification by the same media outlets that championed Floyd, highlighting a total lack of ideological consistency in mainstream reporting.

Dr. Todd Grande on Ashli Babbitt's Background and Shooting

Dr. Todd Grande provides a background on Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran with multiple deployments to Iraq. On January 6, she was shot by a Capitol Police officer while attempting to climb through a broken window into the Speaker's Lobby. The hosts discuss the "mind screw" of the public reaction, where those who typically oppose police shootings of unarmed individuals justified Babbitt's death because it fit a specific political narrative.

dr. todd grande· ashli babbitt· air force· san diego· speaker's lobby· unarmed shooting

2:47:17 More more more 180 degrees opposite agreed right and it screws with people's heads, and that's why I was very Conscious of time when I discussed about this um which you know this is a very important portion of this show So let's get first into the media's coverage of what happened at the Capitol with Ashley Babbitt This morning, new details about 35-year-old Ashley Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer. Video captures the moment she fell to the ground during the chaos. As others warned of the danger, medics then rushing her to the hospital, but she later died. A documentarian says he witnessed the shooting. She was going, like, going strong.

2:48:07 and next thing I know she was shot. I do remember yelling guns when I saw guns and trying to warn her from going in. Like it was like very slow motion because I was trying to, in my mind, trying to capture this scene. Inside the house chamber. It broke the glass. Lawmakers were hiding, including Congressman Mark Wayne Mullen, who is defending the officer's actions. He didn't have a choice at that time. The mob was gonna come through the door. There was a lot of members and staff that were in danger at the time. Babbitt was a 12-year Air Force veteran living in San Diego with her husband. Her family describes her as loving and says she was a staunch supporter of the president. She's my only granddaughter. I'm sorry. Her grandfather says Babbitt attended every Trump rally she could. Excellent patriot, an avid Donald Trump fan.

2:49:01 She served time in the military. She's passionate about everything, particularly Donald Trump for some reason. The US Capitol Police officer who shot Babbitt is now on leave pending an investigation. Yes. Which, um, we're going to get to him next, uh, uh, officer bird, but first we got to get some background on Ashley, uh, Babbitt, and this is from Dr. Todd Grande, which is a psychiatrist, um, from, uh, Arlington, Virginia. Uh, well, uh,

2:49:38 I think he's an author as well. So he's going to get into the background of Ashley Babbitt. So I'll start with the background. I'll talk about. the conspiratorial thinking, and I'll move to my analysis about the shooting. At the time of her death, Ashley Babbitt was 35 years old. She served in the Air Force and Air National Guard for many years. Her service included multiple deployments to Iraq. She lived in Maryland for many years. She was married when she was there. She divorced and moved to San Diego and remarried in 2019. Babbitt had no children. Her parents, her grandfather, and four brothers lived in San Diego.

2:50:16 On January 6, 2021, she was one of the many protesters who stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. in what appears to be an attempt to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election. Inside the building, she was with a number of other protesters in front of these double doors that led to the speaker's lobby, a hallway that connects to the House of Representatives chamber. Not far from this, members of Congress were sheltering in place. So there was a lot of chaos, a number of protesters yelling, banging on the doors, breaking windows. It was a time of great stress caused by these protesters. It is clear in the videos that the doors are barricaded from the other side, which should serve as a subtle hint that trying to pass through those doors may be an unpopular decision. Babbitt was wearing what looked to be a Trump flag as a cape.

2:51:15 Okay, so this is where depending on what lens you're looking at this through, if it was a black male unarmed going through a window, I don't care how many barriers it was. It was like you can't shoot an unarmed person. But here we have a white female veteran, multiple tours in Iraq, shot unarmed. It was like it was a 180 degree You know the media response not even media on social media It's like yeah She deserved the same people said cops shouldn't shoot people and are people and the same people were saying that all summer You know no person or property, you know property over human lives and those kind of things like yeah She had it coming to her which I found it to be a

2:52:13 Maybe Fast's name, Awestruck. I was awestruck. It's like, wow, like it really doesn't matter what there's no ideology behind this. It's strictly binary. It's, you know, it's, it's okay to shoot her because it fits your narrative. I'm in the boat that no un-person should be shot. I mean, like, I mean, I don't care who you are. I don't care what you're doing. Um, but I also would like to bring up the fact of when we talked about the broken glass. When that glass breaks, that's a symbol of civility. And these people were charged up. Now, like I said, it just, I found it fascinating that

2:53:01 One side saying she's shooting the same side, well, you do a crime and you kill it in the act of a crime, you know, it's justified. That side was like, how dare you shoot her? And then the other side is like, you should never shoot a person who's cheering the cops on. It was like, it was just total mind screw. So I don't know how you took what you took away from it. Well, interestingly, I, that I not considered what you just said in that comparison. It's very valid, it's very good. I mean, but we have a lot of these. We have my body, my choice for abortion. My body, my choice, but not for mandatory vaccines. So these binary... I just have no other word. Mind fucks are being launched at us like blow darts to the brain. And perfectly balanced.

CHAPTER 44 / 55 Discussion

Prior Run-ins and the Deflection Narrative

Babbitt had prior legal issues, including a 2016 road rage incident in Maryland, though she was found not guilty of the charges. The hosts compare the media's focus on her past to the way George Floyd's criminal history was used by some to deflect from his death. They argue that both sides of the political spectrum use "whataboutism" and past behavior to justify or condemn police violence based on the victim's "team."

ashli babbitt· maryland· road rage· george floyd· candace owens· jacob blake

2:53:57 Like I said, you couldn't get more balanced and counterbalanced with these two people when you look at Ashley Babbitt and George Floyd. The way they were handled by the media and then how they were consumed by the public at large. With that said, I want to get into the second clip. Now, just I want to, and I'm going to lead, kind of not lead you, but imagine if you hear these things about a unarmed black man shot in America. Babbitt had some prior run-ins with law enforcement in 2016. She was issued a peace order, which is essentially the state of Maryland's version of a restraining order, and charged with reckless endangerment and the malicious destruction of property. This appears to have been connected to a road rage incident. She hit a woman's car three times and chased her through the streets.

2:54:51 From what I understand, the victim was a woman who had previously dated Babbitt's boyfriend at that time. Babbitt was found not guilty of both charges. In 2017, a second peace order was issued and she was charged with willful motor vehicle damage without the owner's consent. In 2019, a complaint was filed against her for aggressive driving, but it was thrown out because of a jurisdiction-related problem. Ashley Babbitt appeared to have a number of unusual beliefs that may have contributed to her criminal behavior. Her posts on social media appear to indicate that she believed in conspiracy theories.

2:55:27 One specific conspiracy theory that she is associated with is QAnon. She made a reference to the storm in a tweet the day before her death. She was seen wearing a QAnon shirt and a photo on social media, and she also posted a hashtag that refers to the phrase, where we go one, we go all, which is also associated with that same conspiracy theory. Wow, I didn't know about the priors. Yeah, that's what, well, Now, imagine... And I can because we had all the priors with George Floyd. We had the holding the gun up to the pregnant woman's belly, the drugs, etc. And what was said, that doesn't matter at the time of him being killed.

2:56:15 What was the other guy named? Something Blake. It slips my mind. But he actually was coming over to attack his baby mama when he was shot seven times. He didn't die, but the vice president, you're saying now a vice president went and visited him or did a video call with him. You know, Jacob Blake, that's his name. What I'm saying is, but on the other side of this, I was critical of Candace Owens for this about bringing up people's past Yes, you're saying to deflect. Yep, so I'm just saying like you said it's no we're not immune is what you're saying right? We're no one's immune and They create these narratives in the media Told it so you can play it. Nobody's based in ideology at all. It's about my team your team Like you said red blue white one zero zero

CHAPTER 45 / 55 Discussion

The "Militant" Label and QAnon as a Technocratic Religion

The hosts note the unusual use of the word "militant" to describe Ashli Babbitt, a term they claim is rarely applied to white women in the media. They analyze QAnon's "Great Awakening" and "Storm" as a secular religion that mirrors the technocratic "trust the science" paradigm. Both groups claim to possess secret or specialized knowledge that the "dumb" general population cannot understand, creating a new form of religious conflict between experts and "digital soldiers."

ashli babbitt· militant· qanon· great awakening· technocracy· religion

2:57:12 And and it's another thing as we've seen well, I think there was the case now with Gabby The the white lady that was killed in the whole princess or what's called the princess effect or how white women are covered in the media Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Here's a white lady that was killed Unarmed the music man. We ain't touching that. No, you're cute. You're a QAnon. You know say she deserved it. She had it coming and It's like I said, you know what? You have snatched the pebbles from my hand grasshopper. You may go now You have surpassed me I have to write this down for myself. I can't believe that I that I didn't see this I didn't see it. But like I said, that's why we come here and have the conversation that way. That's why there's two of us. You're right. No, it's amazing that

2:58:07 I'm very, I'm very... The things I read on social media were disgusting, like, for any human life to be taken. All she had it coming, and I was like, what? I'm very impressed with your, um, your ability to, uh, to see that. I, I, because I know how it should be covered. Any other time an unarmed white lady gets shot in America, she shouldn't be the bad guy. I mean like in the media. Not to me, but in the media. The general response to Joy Reid saying, you know, white woman, that's why it's getting all this coverage and the general response that I saw, which of course should have been, oh yeah, well why aren't you covering Ashley Babbit, etc.

2:58:57 Was well because when it's a black woman most of the time is killed by a black man And you don't want to tell anybody that most of the time is intra racial anytime smites It's amazing how they do these mind tricks on people and that's why I'm telling people like be based in I'd be based in something Like that's why I'm big on law. That's why I'm big on math. It's logic, right? It's okay. I can make sense of this when you are based solely in teams and sides and those kind of things. Yeah, you don't, you don't, it don't work. They can jerk you around. I mean, they can, they can completely jerk you around and then what it does is it makes you look silly because it's like, hold on. I thought you were a pro.

2:59:50 Cops or anti cops and like it's like I said, it's the perfect mind screw like you said, but Yeah, I was like if I heard like if they said innocent unarmed when I'm not with anything cuz she was committing a crime but innocent in the fact of Not being a threat to you know, it's an armed person If that was a black man coming through a window and a white man has shot him all hell would broke loose. I Again, oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. You're nailing that you're nailing that. Yep. All right So let's go ahead and go to 35. Here's a summary of what the followers of this conspiracy theory believe They believe there's an evil organization made up of people who worship Satan and they also cause other types of harm and

3:00:38 The leaders of this evil organization tend to be entertainers and politicians. Donald Trump is a part of this ongoing battle with these evil people. Ashley Babbitt had a particular dedication to Trump. She was a militant supporter of his. At some point Trump will bring about what the followers referred to as the storm and the great awakening. Again, Babbitt specifically referred to the storm. The storm is when Trump will arrest the evildoers and send them to prison. The storm is really about aggression and revenge. It's when the conspiracy theorist will punish the people who laughed at them. Now, the Great Awakening is different. This is when the beliefs of the followers will be validated. When all the people in the world will realize that this whole time along, the followers were correct.

CHAPTER 46 / 55 Discussion

QAnon Beliefs and the Exaltation of Heroes

QAnon followers believe in an evil organization of Satan-worshipping elites that will be vanquished by Donald Trump. The "Great Awakening" is the moment their beliefs will be validated, and they will be exalted as heroes who saved the world. The hosts argue this mirrors the way technocrats view themselves as the only ones capable of managing society, with both sides claiming a monopoly on truth and intelligence.

qanon· satan worship· donald trump· great awakening· utopia· experts

3:01:30 So these conspiracy theorists actually believe that they have some type of special knowledge, perhaps they are chosen or just incredibly intelligent, and they can see and understand what the rest of the population cannot. So everybody's being fooled except them. After the storm and the Great Awakening a utopia will be established and the followers of the conspiracy theory will be exalted as heroes People who saved the world from certain destruction. Yeah, that sums it up pretty well I'd say but once again, they're making QAnon the the Opposite the polar opposite of science

3:02:13 But in the same way, the same paradigm, but it's a polar opposite of we have secret knowledge that you can't understand. Isn't that how science is put on us? You, you dumb person. You don't, you can't research. You're a research. Like, you don't have a PhD in whatever science or, you know, you didn't code Microsoft. You know, that doesn't make you an expert on vaccines. You know, that kind of thing. But it's the opposite end of it that you don't know what these symbols mean. You know, you can't interpret this language, these signs that we're being given. It's a religion. It's another religion. That's a technocratic religion.

3:02:57 The technocrats that the experts know best and they just have to be managed and the messaging is funneled and there's consensus and that's technocrats. That's 1984, technocrats. So like I said, they put these people in the same boat, but they don't realize it. Like you sound just like the scientists sound, that you can't understand this. You don't have enough brain power to decide what goes in your body for yourself. It's like, what? Like, huh? And so, but like I said, I found it fascinating. And I'll bet you that's the first time in world history that militant has been used in the same sentence with a white woman.

3:03:39 Because militant were reserved for black men and black women the Like I was her who was the was the famous black? female Black Panther You saw a Sata Shakur. Yes. Yeah, she would be she would be classified as militant right, but I never heard that term as No, no. Welcome to the bottom. I tell you when I say this, I say it in jest. Not really. Not really. Not really. When you hear these terms start throwing around like militant. I almost fell out my chair when I heard that. That was the word for me. I was like militant. I've never heard that used for a Caucasian or white female. I've never heard. I mean like. I think you're right. I'm searching my brain. I think you're right.

CHAPTER 47 / 55 Discussion

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Lieutenant Michael Byrd

Radio hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton critique Lieutenant Michael Byrd's NBC News interview, where he claimed he showed "tremendous courage" in shooting Ashli Babbitt. They argue that if a white officer had made similar comments after shooting an unarmed black protester, there would be mass rioting. The hosts point out the "outrageous" politics involved in providing Byrd with a favorable media platform while he remained unnamed for months.

clay travis· buck sexton· michael byrd· nbc news· ashli babbitt· courage

3:04:27 Millicent, wow. So he was more left-leaning if I had to guess, more of the mainstream media type coverage of it. Now we got to go out to Outtake with Clay and Buck and get their take on not only, where they're not going to really talk about Ashley Babbitt but more of Officer Byrd and his coverage in the media. Interview last night on NBC News with Lieutenant Michael Byrd. who it's been rumored I think on the internet for a while that he was in fact the individual involved here.

3:05:03 But he is the Capitol Hill police officer who shot Ashley Babbitt in the neck. Now Clay and I, you know, I've had some background in law enforcement and baseline tactical training. Clay obviously is a lawyer. We wanted to go through some of this and really, first of all, they couldn't have tried to make it a more favorable platform for Officer Byrd's narrative. You'll hear that yourself. We want to take this though piece by piece And address how, I mean for me, this is, the whole thing is outrageous because the politics involved are quite clear in terms of how this has been handled. But let's start with Michael Byrd.

3:05:40 Saying that he showed tremendous courage in the shooting. Of course I do That is a very vital point and it's something that It's frightening. I believe I showed the utmost courage on January 6th, and it's time for me to do that now The utmost courage, Clay. Have you heard any of the officers involved in fatal shootings that got a lot of national attention? And including times when an assailant was reaching for a gun or going for a knife. Have you heard any of them ever say, well I showed tremendous courage in shooting that person? No, and if they did, we already have protests, but there would be mass rioting in the streets.

3:06:30 Yeah, clan buck they took rush limbaugh slot Yeah, could you imagine the cop or cops that shot Brianna Taylor saying? Really courageous that day well show some courage I know we say but a Matt just just let that soak in and I didn't I usually don't use sound bites But lieutenant bird I'm gonna let you know now on the lost tapes that I'm gonna go through that majority of that 36 minute interview sit down with him good because I didn't want to like I said there been this have been a nine-hour show if just breaking that down in itself, but once again of all the officers It had to be a black man. Yeah, not a white woman Are you kidding me? So correct, but you know if you say that and this was something that I

3:07:26 has been hammered at incessantly. It's called whataboutism. So it's like, well if that were Trump, but this is such a cool way of showing it. It's like, please look at the polar opposites of the situation. That's if you're thinking and speaking binary because what you're trying to do is make your sight right or wrong. What I'm doing is, and what we're doing is, looking at the nuances of the story and saying, look at this. It's perfect in a tragic way, but perfect that you have a black man

CHAPTER 48 / 55 Discussion

Lieutenant Byrd's Justification and the "Psyop" Narrative

Lieutenant Byrd justified the shooting by stating Babbitt posed a threat to the "United States House of Representatives," rather than a direct threat to his life. The hosts find it "fascinating" that a black officer shot an unarmed white woman in a climate where property is usually deemed less valuable than human life. They suggest the entire scenario is so perfectly balanced for maximum social friction that it resembles a sophisticated psychological operation.

michael byrd· ashli babbitt· imminent threat· capitol police· 45 savage· psyop

3:08:08 that pulled the trigger in America that shot a white unarmed woman that was going into property. We heard all summer property doesn't, you know what I'm saying, human lives trump property. But it was like, okay, yeah, cool. Oh, no, I'm all for it. Because she was militant. It's like, what? Like I said, But I knew he was black when they didn't bring him out. When they hit him for that long, I was like, yeah. And there's a timing that goes with this, why they brought him out and when they brought him out. But let's let Clay and Buck finish up first. Just think what the reaction would be from Black Lives Matter if a white police officer who shot an unarmed protester

3:08:58 Had said all of these things what the reaction would be compared to the comparative crickets in response to this let's just keep playing these clips because Again, I think a large part of our audience has not heard all of these quotes and certainly as you said buck This gentleman had not even been named prior to this interview that he just decided to do here. He is discussing that he believed Ashley Babbitt was posing an imminent threat. Remember, this is an unarmed woman still on the other side of the door trying to break in and open a door. He has the gun drawn for quite as plenty of time. He can see exactly what's going on. It's on video. We have video of this encounter.

3:09:48 Here is what he says. I've been yelling and screaming as loud as I was. Please stop. Get back. Get back. Stop. We have our weapons thrown. We see your arm out there for a considerable amount of time. Were you wavering? I was taking a tactical stance. You're ultimately hoping that your commands will be complied with, and unfortunately they were not. What did you think this individual was doing at that moment? She was posing a threat. to United States House of Representatives. Not a threat to me. Not a threat to me. Listen to the way he said again at the very last 15 seconds. I'm sorry about that. Yeah, no, it's no problem.

3:10:32 Yeah, you're so right about that. They're hoping that your commands will be complied with and unfortunately they were not. What did you think this individual was doing at that moment? She was posing a threat to United States House of Representatives. Well, first of all, he says that she wasn't responding to his commands. I didn't hear him command anything on any audio. Right. And then the other thing is he didn't say she was a threat to me, which I think that's imminent threat is to you not to whatever you're protecting. I'm not sure what the rules are. I'm not sure what the rules would be. Like I said, from my law degree from SVU, law order SVU, I'm a proud graduate.

3:11:25 That's how I understand it to be it has to be your life needs to be in there now It might be different for federal police or Capitol Police. I don't know but I'm just saying he met he didn't say me He didn't say she was a threat to me, which if he said that I wouldn't even say, okay Well, you don't know what a person has right? You know, you know, I would take it differently But I could say I don't want to be back. I don't be labor the point but it was just fascinating like I said, this is You say psyops, and I don't use that word. I don't use that word you're saying it, but what are you doing here? What are we doing here? Seriously? What what how how could you how could you make you couldn't if you wrote this somebody would throw the script out like no I'm really disappointed in myself. Um Because you know I see all these things, but I didn't see it all the way through

3:12:24 I'm really happy that you brought this up and how you unfolded this because I, gosh, I mean obviously it's the whole system does this. You know there was another example today where President Biden said or his gen, circle back gen said well President Biden is not taking questions from the press because you're not on point. You're not asking questions that are about the meeting that he's having. And I'm like, holy shit, you know, it's like that was if Trump said that, it's like they would always ask questions that had nothing to do with the world leader who was sitting there with him. Where's taxes? Are you gonna release your taxes? That kind of thing. Yeah. So, I mean, 45 Savage was, you know, his message has become a bit cliche, but they really are public enemy number one.

CHAPTER 49 / 55 Discussion

Madeline Dean and the Timing of the Byrd Interview

Congresswoman Madeline Dean appears on Joy Reid's show to thank Lieutenant Byrd for "saving her life" on January 6. The hosts note the timing of Byrd's public reveal, which coincided with the news of 13 U.S. soldiers killed in Afghanistan. They suggest the interview was used as a "smoke screen" to reclaim the media narrative and distract from the military failure in Kabul.

madeline dean· michael byrd· joy reid· afghanistan· 13 dead soldiers· smoke screen

3:13:18 And him and Malcolm X is on the same, but there's a reason. I forgive yourself. There was a reason why you didn't get into this. There was something simultaneously going on at the time when Lieutenant Byrd came out and had his interview that could possibly be a smoke screen 38. I'm joined now by Congresswoman Madeline Dean of Pennsylvania, one of the lawmakers whose life Officer Byrd was protecting that day. And Congresswoman, I just want to give you the opportunity to react what you've just seen and heard. First, Joy, thank you for including me on this heartbreaking day for our country. And so my sympathies to the service members, families,

3:14:06 To the 13 now, I guess that we have lost and 15 wounded and of course scores of Afghans and others. And I condemn the terrorist attacks. We have to continue our mission. But joy, that interview, I was staggered. to learn that it was Lieutenant Byrd who made that announcement on the floor of the house. For the last seven months, I have wondered who was it trying to help save our lives? I was up in the gallery that day as they told us first sit down, prepare to lie down, then get your gas masks out from under your seat. And then that announcement,

3:14:48 They've infiltrated the rotunda and tear gas has been deployed. I have wondered for months who did that to save our lives. And what I want people to know is number one, thank you, Lieutenant Kirk. Thank you. Number two, I hope people understand the proximity of where he was first on the rostrum and then where Ashley Babbitt was shot. It was feet away. After Ashley Babbitt sadly with all those other rioters broke through security gate after security gate after security gate Yeah, that would have been something that covered up that little news How can be I miss like Bill Cosby getting convicted you're saying at the same time when you had the uh, the uh, what's the? Kavanaugh case convenient. I mean just

3:15:43 13 dead soldiers, out comes Lieutenant Byrd. All of a sudden, out of the blue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you know, I'm glad you're 10 years younger than me. I forgive you, like I said, I forgive you because you were down that rabbit hole. Yeah, I was. That's true. Afghanistan. Yeah. I was, I was on, you know, like telegram and signal with people in Qatar and Afghanistan. Yeah, it's true. Well, again, that's why there's, there's two of us. This is good news. Different beats. Yeah. Different beats. But yeah, I just find that interesting. The timing of that. And the other thing I found strange is now I've seen a lot of 24.

3:16:25 I've seen a lot of Homeland in these shows. Is it really our representatives lay down where you're at? Really? That's what we're doing? Did you see those gas masks? They look like the things that drop out of the overhead bin in the airplane. I saw that, but I'm saying, but the reaction plan is to lay down where you're at? Like there's no tunnels? I'm highly disappointed in my government. Like, I mean, you take... Like, really, we don't have secret elevators that, you know... Oh, some representatives do. Absolutely. Pelosi was out real quick. They had Pence out real quick. They were all in the tunnels and stuff. Oh, for sure. But don't we have to have like a little room or something? Like, I've seen Homeland. I don't know. I don't know, Mo. I guess not. I guess that's all... It's all fake.

3:17:28 I'm seriously disappointed. When if somebody, a real threat rolls up, what we gonna do? Lay down on the floor. Everything will be, what? Lay down on the floor, everything will be okay. It'll be fine. Like you said, put the airline mask on and just lay there. And she thanked him for that. I don't know who did it for seven months. I wanted to know. You know what I'm saying? Who put this change into place? I'm gonna lay down on the floor and be a waiting target. Wow like that just shot me, but yeah, yeah this It was cover it would mean to be I mean to be honest with you. I believe it was well whether It was used as cover. Yeah, right right the interview what I'm saying the interview with Oh totally yeah, let's reclaim the narrative here. We don't talk about the team so Get through this 24-hour news cycle right quick, and then we can get back to business um well

CHAPTER 50 / 55 Discussion

John Sullivan and the Sullivan Family Background

John Sullivan, a left-wing activist present at the Capitol, was ratted out to the FBI by his brother, James Sullivan. Their adoptive father, Major General Kevin J. Sullivan, was previously involved in a scandal regarding the transfer of nuclear fuses to Taiwan. The hosts highlight the extreme ideological split in the family, with one son involved in Black Lives Matter and the other associated with the Proud Boys, suggesting a "brother against brother" dynamic.

john sullivan· james sullivan· kevin j. sullivan· fbi· antifa· nuclear fuses

3:18:26 We know who captured the footage that you alluded to, because we talked about it on show 57. Let's get to John Sullivan. Kelly and Bob, James Sullivan says he turned in tips about his brother to the FBI here in Salt Lake City. He says he believes that his brother was not only involved in the riot at the Capitol, but somehow in charge. Full disclosure, the FBI has been in contact with me. John Sullivan posted to his Twitter on Wednesday. I got the call as I said again today that. He was going to be apprehended by the FBI. John's brother James says he first learned his brother was at the US Capitol when friends started texting him these pictures. Then John posted video to YouTube. He was going in there to document it, but he also was part of the Antifa groups. I also, you know, want to want to support

3:19:25 The black community out here to in the best way that I can, that's my belief. I believe the black lives matter. I mean, I'm not here to assert myself and my beliefs on other people. I just want to give people. The footage, the video, the FBI's office in Salt Lake City would not confirm they were investigating Sullivan or any Utahns. I want to condemn absolutely condemn the shameful and violence that we saw on January 6th at the US Capitol. We still love John Blake and that's something that he needs to know. Now the criminal complaint against John includes violent entry. John was also charged by Provo police officers back in July of 2020 for criminal mischief and rioting. In Salt Lake City, Erin Cox, FOX 13 News, Utah. Now we're talking about dividing the families. Yep. James, his brother. Ratted him out. Ratted him out. Now both of them, you want to hear something very interesting? Of course.

3:20:29 Their father, adopted father, Major General Kevin J. Sullivan of the United States Air Force was caught in a shady deal transferring nuclear fuses via Taiwan. Back in 2008. And now your two black or biracial son, adoptive sons, Are in the middle of the insurgency or the storm in the capital. Now that's great. Of course that's not connected. How did you find that? Do you have any clips on that or did you just follow the- I have an article on it. It was, it was, no, I followed the article. There was no clips. It was a big news story. I mean, if you look it up, uh, it was 17, um, it was 17 officers that were involved and they were caught with, uh, transferring, uh, nuclear fuses.

3:21:30 Oh, well, that's almost as good as the Boston bombers, you know, and their uncle is a CIA agent. Right, I was gonna say, like, what's the chances? And then, you know, come on, what's the chances? But that going to show you that this is brother against brother. Now, is it designed to be that way? I don't know. But it's just the coincidence of your dad getting caught transferring nuclear fuses to Taiwan in a big scandal, and then your two sons get caught up in this on both sides of it. Because one is super conservative, and one is super Black Lives Matter liberal.

CHAPTER 51 / 55 Discussion

Local News and the Verification of Antifa Claims

Local news reports debunk claims that Antifa orchestrated the Capitol attack, specifically identifying the "QAnon Shaman" Jake Angeli as a Trump supporter rather than an Antifa actor. While the news uses reverse image searches to dismiss certain flyers, the hosts point out that John Sullivan's presence—as a radical activist who had been kicked out of BLM—proves that at least some left-wing elements were on the scene.

mo brooks· antifa· jake angeli· qanon shaman· reverse image search· local news

3:22:19 Crazy what's going on? What's going on in that house? And then how do you forgot remember? John was a Olympic skater could we cover that in 50? Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. Yeah Which had an uber commercial which I'll be also showing on the live. He just so happens to have an uber commercial, too Are you kidding me? It's somebody parking me that's beautiful. Oh So, just to go to show you how the local news does coverage or lack of coverage. There was a claim made that Antifa was in the Capitol that day proven through the John Sullivan situation. But listen how local news covers the question of verifying was Antifa behind.

3:23:09 There are a lot of claims that the people who broke into the Capitol on Wednesday weren't Trump supporters but were actually Antifa members. U.S. Representative Mo Brooks says the evidence is growing that Antifa quote orchestrated Capitol attack with clever mob control tactics. So, let's break this claim down, starting with these images. This Antifa Comrades flyer is being shared a ton with claims it tells Antifa members to disguise themselves as Trump supporters. But a reverse image search shows that this image is more than two months old. It was originally shared on articles like this on Election Day, November 3rd. And as you can see, the image has the date November 4th clearly in the text.

3:23:48 We're marking this false. Then there's this claim. A man in the hallway of the Capitol with a tattoo on his hand, which these posts say is the communist hammer and sickle. But a higher resolution image from Getty Photos shows it's clearly not the hammer and sickle. It's actually a logo from a video game. This claim is false. Then there are tons of claims about this shirtless man wearing a horned hat. Quote, this is not a Trump supporter. This is a staged Antifa attack. Well, we tracked him down. This is Jake Angeli. He's easy to find online as an outspoken QAnon supporter and fan of President Trump. Thank you, President Trump!

3:24:25 He's posted photos of Rudy Giuliani and has been photographed protesting against groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa in the past. Wednesday night, he actually posted that quote, I am not Antifa or BLM. I'm a QAnon and digital soldier. So claims this man is an Antifa actor in disguise are false. Now there are more examples of people falsely being labeled Antifa and false messages. That was, that's a great, um, That's a great ISO, I gotta get that. That's the local news stymieing the claim that Antifa was in there, which clearly James, excuse me, John works with Black Lives Matter and he actually got kicked out of Black Lives Matter for being too radical. And then on the other side, James worked closely with the Proud Boys.

CHAPTER 52 / 55 Discussion

Jade Sacker and the John Sullivan CNN Interview

John Sullivan appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper alongside Jade Sacker, a woman described as a photojournalist. The hosts suggest Sacker acted as a "honeypot" for Sullivan, encouraging him to enter the Capitol to capture footage. In unedited clips, Sullivan is heard telling Sacker he "knew he could get her in there," while she expresses excitement, leading the hosts to believe Sullivan was used and then abandoned by his media handlers.

jade sacker· john sullivan· anderson cooper· cnn· photojournalist· honeypot

3:25:19 What's going on? Right, seriously. What is going on? That's pretty extreme. That's pretty extreme in one family. Which, and I have an article here from No Q Report. It says that they were both, they have been on opposite sides of ideological spectrum since George Floyd video was released last spring. So that was the trigger. That was the trigger when they split into one and zero. Yeah. So well I have John Sullivan on Anderson Cooper, but you're not gonna hear her speak But I believe he was with her his handler What's her name Jade? I had her name here Jaden X something no no that's it that was his name Jake her name was Jade. Oh, let me find it Don't know what her

3:26:15 Yeah, of course you don't because nobody she didn't speak the whole time. So she was just there to handle him on Anson Cooper Jade Sacker who is a CNN photojournalist that never did anything for CNN in her life But that's how she was so that's how she was sold to the to the masses But this is John Sullivan and she's sitting six inches from his face while he speaks. I for two people who were there joins now documentary filmmaker jade sacker and left wing activist john sullivan uh... john you film this moment on your phone just can't describe what happened yeah so uh... is that all the the process is kind of stormed into the chamber we try to get into like a the main entrance right when you walk down the hallway

3:26:59 But that being said, nobody was able to get in because there's two guards refusing to move. People there were not really wanting to hurt the police. So they went down a different alleyway. They went to the left of the main entrance of the chambers and then took a right down the hallway and entered into that glass window that you see. There were about four or five police officers spread out at the forefront. And I remember just coming up and seeing one of them crying, saying they want to go home to their kids. So how was this lady shot? I mean, she was trying to get through the door. And did you see who shot her?

3:27:43 Yeah, so I was getting to that part so immediately after they started breaking through the glass once they broke through the glass they were using like flag poles and whatever they had to kind of bash through the windows. On the right hand side this lady was able to like make her way all the way through the window. All we see is these guns come out the doorways just guns. All you can see is their hand that's it you can see faces and Right when I saw that I was yelling to people I was like guys there's guns there's guns you don't want to go through there like they were like they're gonna shoot like not just like hold it there and run away they were literally gonna shoot to kill. Mm-hmm. Guns.

3:28:28 Hmm, and I got a wonderful clip that was inaudible, but it has the subtitles to it with him and Jade So this guy they made such a big deal about him with his footage But really he was just there to propagate more messaging. Yes, but then I had to take him down Oh, well, of course you whatever reason Yeah, but Jay soccer I can't find anything on there her with step for a website I Um that she's done some you know what I'm saying photo journalism, but like I said, I have the footage of her him in the in the uh In the capital he's like I told you I could get you in there and like he sounded like he liked her He was like I told you I could get you in here and she was like, oh, this is awesome John And I mean and she was like he was like, I love you and she's like what'd you say? He's like nothing He was saying like he was clearly He was clearly enamored with her and like she was the honeypot and she let him in there

Commander Ghazi and the Black Hammer Organization

Commander Ghazi of the Black Hammer Organization releases a message to Antifa, accusing them of doxxing a member and demanding reparations. Ghazi appears in "whiteface" makeup, which the hosts describe as a bizarre form of performance art or a sophisticated psychological operation. The organization, which claims to be against vaccines and for "land back," is analyzed as a potential "troll" or splinter cell designed to create confusion within radical movements.

3:29:27 She got the footage that she wanted and he was left swinging in the wind. That's how I see it. Like I said, this is why the Internationals... newsletter is so valuable because certain things that we can't show here that I can show there that I found when I go down the rabbit hole that is you know it was in like you can't really hear it very well. We could work our way through it but no I think it's very more powerful if you actually watch the play. What time what time do the the lives drop? 8 o'clock Wednesday Eastern Standard Time. And the show same time Wednesday? Same time. Yep, so Wednesday 8 o'clock come to MoFax on YouTube and you'll find something going on over there either a new show or the live Lost Tapes. And we premiered on

It's like, come on. Exactly. Here's Moe, he's the honey. Alright, so that's what we have to use the algorithms against them. Once that engagement happens it's gonna send a message to more people. It's gonna be fun. And you know, also likes, shares, and comments because that triggers the algorithm as well. Like I said, we just might need to know what

CHAPTER 54 / 55 Discussion

Black Hammer vs. Antifa and Show Sign-off

The Black Hammer Organization continues its attack on Antifa, claiming the group destroys black and brown businesses while playing "video games" in the suburbs. The hosts conclude the show by reiterating the need for empathetic listening to combat binary thinking. They joke that the podcast serves as a "booster" for mental immunity against government and media narratives, signing off with a reminder to support the show via MoFundme.com.

You wanted to call me an anti-vaxxer because we're against vaccines. You wanted to call me all kinds of horrific things. But I don't really give a damn. And none of us give a damn. But where you went wrong was when you doxed one of my members, an amazing African Filipino mother. And you made her so worried about her own safety that she had to

3:37:20 pay for a more expensive security system and she could barely afford it because you know that's the reality of us poor and working class black people we just don't have money to spend, spend, spend make it ring, ring, ring like that and especially not with COVID taking all of our jobs away so we told you you need to pay up we told you you need to give reparations to our comrade that you doxxed and let me clear up all those nasty things you want to say about me and say about my brothers. Land back! Land back! Land back! Land back! Land back! Land back! CNT for you want to co-opt our movement but we're not gonna let it happen. Not this time.

Like I said, if I had to lean, You're not gonna bring up those hot button issues, but it's like what do you do with them? Like what's going on? I don't know. I found it fascinating. I thought that would be a good way to end the show. I know when people say we're in a simulation, like what is going on here? Well, this is put together by some script kiddies, but they have the organizational manual, which is pretty detailed.

CHAPTER 55 / 55 Discussion

Outro Music: I'm Your Puppet

The episode concludes with the song "I'm Your Puppet," featuring lyrics about being under total control and having strings pulled. The song serves as a thematic coda to the discussion on government manipulation, media influence, and the loss of individual agency in a binary-driven society. The final segment ends with a brief reference to "talking to the devil."
