Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams archive. My name is Austin Adams. And thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we have some wild topics to get through. And I'm excited for it. So the very first topic that we're going to talk about today is going to be that the Pentagon actually responded to the idea that Taylor Swift Is a PSYOP. 

So we'll look at what the response was. And that will actually look at the history of this because the fundamental idea around that is that there's a, uh, forces that be within our government that want to manipulate the art within our culture in order to influence the culture itself. And so we'll look at the history of that, whether it be Operation Mockingbird by the CIA, whether it be the CIA teaming up with certain artists during the cold war era, we'll look at all of that together.

Then.  We'll jump into the next topic, which is going to be that there was some pretty shady stuff found in New York, which actually ended up being an underground tunnel underneath a Jewish synagogue, I believe.  So. We'll look at that  and why it's pretty, pretty crazy stuff. So there's a couple of theories on it.

We'll actually dive into the history of the specific group, because the specific group that we're talking about is a little bit different than your average, uh, Practicer of Judaism. Um, so we will look at that as well. And then we will dive into some breaking news here, which is that the United States. In hand in hand with the, uh,  with Britain have the UK have actually, uh, conducted operations overseas against Houthi rebels, which some believe may be the spark of a war against. 

So we'll look at the history of that as well.  So all of that more, but first I need you to go ahead and subscribe. If this is your first time, I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart, subscribe. And if you are here for your second time, third time around. 100th time, whatever, because we're actually about to hit that 100th episode.

I believe we're on episode 96 right now, which is pretty wild. But thank you for being here. I appreciate you. I love doing this for you guys. Uh, we'll have some cool stuff coming up. Some interviews, some really awesome things that I am working on in the background. So thank you for being here. Leave a five star review and let's jump  into it.  

 The Adams archive.

 

 Alright, so the very first topic that we're going to discuss today is going to be that the Pentagon actually responded to the idea that Taylor Swift is a PSYOP.  Now personally. I think this probably couldn't be more accurate. And so the reason that I think this, I think this is actually a lot of a part of the public psyche today surrounding Taylor Swift.

We see everything that's happening with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey and Pfizer and her recently saying that she believes that Joe Biden has done a great job and will continue to do a great job. And he's exactly what our country needs right now to stop the divisiveness like That the only way that you are saying such a thing,  even if you voted for Biden and you wholeheartedly believed in him at the very beginning of this, uh, I don't think there's a person out there who is not either  protecting their, their ego by, you know, not admitting that they are wrong or, uh, or Are being paid off  and the likelihood that you're being paid off if you're a multi whatever billionaire this Taylor Swift is at this time and a super famous actor, actress, musician, artist, whatever is probably pretty, pretty high if you're still sitting there banging the drum of Joe Biden, or you're just worried about not getting another job again.

So you don't have to worry You go along with the, the river that is Hollywood.  So it's, it's, it's crazy to see how far these people can go. So here we go. Let's go ahead and read this article. This article comes from the Post Millennial  and it is titled, let me go ahead and pull it up here for you. It  is titled,  Pentagon Claims Taylor Swift PSYOP Speculation is a Conspiracy Theory.

Hmm.  Okay,  you have my back. Attention.  All right. This article says after Jesse water show on Tuesday, where he said the government has been turning Taylor Swift into an asset through a Psy op Pentagon spokesperson, Sabrina sign has denied the claim. An idea that first came from human events, senior editor, Jack Posobiec  quoting from one of Swift songs and the statement to politics sign said, as for this conspiracy theory, we are going to shake it off.

Wow, catchy.  She continued to make other Taylor Swift puns in her statement, which stated, but that does highlight that we still need Congress to approve other supplemental budget requests as Swift Lee as possible so that we can be out of the woods with potential fiscal concerns. Haha. On December 6th, 2023.

Right after Taylor Swift won the Time's Person of the Year award, Posobiec posted to Axe, the Taylor Swift girlboss psyop has been fully activated in her hand selected vaccine show boyfriend to dink lifestyle to her upcoming 2024 voter operation for Democrats on abortion rights. It's all coming.  Uh, and that was in response to the Time Person of the Year being  Taylor Swift. 

And I'm pretty sure that used to be Man of the Year? And now it's person of the year.  I don't know. Pretty sure I heard that following the post ax Posobiec had Evita Duffy on his show, where they talked about why Swift could rally support for president Joe Biden in the 2024 election year. She's a girl boss.

She has lots of failed relationships where she blames the man every time. Duffy then asked, why are we pushing Taylor Swift? Here comes a clip from Jack Posobiec.  Uh, and let's go ahead and watch it here. 

 Evita Duffy from the Federalists joins us now. Evita, they've just named Taylor Swift the, uh, you know, she's, that's basically her song that was used for that ad, which is a mix of Taylor Swift and Barbie, just named Taylor Swift times person of the year, uh, I 

was out about a month ago. You had a great show where he talked about the Taylor Swift army coming online for the 2024 election. Is this at what we're seeing now? Are they activating 

The Taylor Swift psyop.  Yeah, it's not. It's not just happening now. This has been happening for pretty much a year. They've been pushing Taylor Swift on us.  The corporate media has these articles fawning over her. She's like the greatest thing that's ever happened to humanity. Meanwhile, her music's pretty mid.

Um, if you, it's actually something actually to break down of her music and, uh, the melodies, she has like the same melody progressions over 20, over 20 different songs. Um, she's always complaining about the same melodies. Okay, I'm going to have to question how old this girl is. If you're going to use the word mid, you better have been born pre or post  2000. 

You better be under the age of 23. If you're going to use the word mid, I'll just leave it at that.  Anyways, I actually agree with it. So so if you understand what tick tock did when tick tock First started, TikTok artificially inflated the views, at least this is the idea that people have been talking about, is it took a few select amount of influencers and it artificially inflated the views that they were getting on the platform. 

Those people then, who felt like they were a big deal, went and talked to people about it and told people how many views they were getting on TikTok. As a result, a bunch of people fled into TikTok.  And so. What they've and they cared about the original a few official people that got their views artificially inflated I think one of the names of the girls is I don't know There was one girl that started tick tock as like the tick tock girl and now nobody really cares about her, right?

She just did like a dance and whatever and then all of a sudden she got like a billion views And so the way that they did that is they artificially inflated the views they artificially created celebrity And then they made those celebrities influence  Be valued by the mass public, right? And so I think that that's exactly what happens with Taylor Swift here, I believe, because Her music to be fair is pretty mid.

Although I am cannot say that with a straight face and never will  But  Taylor Swift's music is garbage. It's terrible. She's a great  Performer and by performer, I mean she has a great team of people around her with fireworks and laser shows and All of that, but I did Taylor Swift is a very  Un  impressive musician, completely unimpressive to me in the fact that she is the single most.

highest earning musician, music, musician of all musicians is astounding to me because she's just a performer.  Anyways, so that to me lends into the idea. The same way that we will look at this in a minute is they artificially inflate these people's viewership. They, they get the mainstream media, the mainstream radio stations, the mainstream award shows to all. 

Pump these people up, pump them up, pump them up. Meanwhile, these people are just puppets for whatever they say, from the powers that be, goes. And so that's where this idea of it being a PSYOP comes from. So let's finish out this clip, if we can,  tolerate this girl's  vocabulary, and then we'll continue on.

 In breakups over and over again, these songs, Jake Gyllenhaal, somebody who she wrote the song all too well about, which is like a 10 minute song where she complains 

about a man that she dated for no joke, three months. This is not a musical mastermind. The media is pushing her on us constantly. And if you say anything negative about Taylor,  the media, the Swifties and Taylor Swift herself. 

Okay. I think I know what she's going to say. A misogynist. And here's why I think that is. Taylor Swift is the perfect. 

 Okay, Taylor Swift's music is absolute trash. So the only way that she got into the position that she's in is if she's working with the government.  So here's the, here's the rest of the article. And it says, and this was December 6th that this conversation happened on Real America's Voice. But it says, uh, Waters posted a clip of his segment to Axe on Wednesday where he had, uh, he said an idea was floated at a NATO meeting in 2019 where Swift could combat online misinformation.

So maybe here's some actual evidence of this potential Taylor Swift's the biggest star in the world. Sorry, Gutfeld.  She's been blanketed across the sports media entertainment atmosphere. The New York Times just speculated she's a lesbian. And last year's tour broke Ticketmaster, a tour that's revenue tops the GDP of 50 countries.

Wow, I like her music. She's all right. But I mean, have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?  Well, around four years ago. The Pentagon's Psychological Operations Unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting. What kind of asset? A psy op for combating online misinformation.

Listen. You came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and counter an information operation. The idea is that social influence can help, uh, It can help, uh, encourage or, uh, promote behavior change, so potentially as like a peaceful information operation. I include Taylor Swift in here because she's, um, you know, she's a fairly influential online person.

I don't know if you've heard of her.  Yeah, that's real.  The Pentagon's PSYOP unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset for combating misinformation online.  This is nothing new. In the 1950s, the government strong armed Louis Armstrong into doing propaganda tours across Africa.  The CIA did the same thing with jazz singer Nina Simone, except they did it without her really knowing. 

In the 70s, Nixon enlisted Elvis in his war on drugs. He gave the king a badge and named him a covert federal law enforcement agent.  Michael Jackson was tapped by Reagan, using his song Beat It and his public service campaigns against teen drinking and driving.  Michael Jackson persuading minors not to drink,  anyway. 

So is Swift a front for a covert political agenda? Primetime obviously has no evidence. If we did, we'd share it.  But we're curious. Because the pop star who endorsed Biden is urging millions of her followers to vote. She's sharing links. And her boyfriend, Travis Kelty, sponsored by Pfizer? And their relationships boosted the NFL ratings this season, bringing in a whole new demographic.

So how's the  PSYOP going?  Well, as usual, Biden's not calling the shots because he doesn't even know who Taylor Swift is. He's confused her with Britney Spears and Beyoncé.  You could say even this harder than getting a ticket to the renaissance tour or, or, or  Britney's tour. She's down in, it's kind of warm in Brazil right now.

Former FBI agent Stuart Kaplan. Wow, that is brutal. Stuart, is this feasible? 

Jesse, the deployment of a PSYOP in the United States in this day and age is still illegal. Um, the national security law prohibits the deployment of PSYOPs or using an operative for psychological warfare. However, if I was running Biden's management perception team, I would identify someone who would align themselves with my agenda, such 600 million followers.

I would target her, I would engage her, and I would get her what, get her to do what we used to see as like public service announcements, and that type of enlistment, that type of solicitation is analogous to the old days of deployment of a PSYOP. And so in modern times, with these people having such influence and such,  you know, immeasurable amount of followers.

She can potentially, single handedly, swing voters because of just the amount of followers that she potentially can influence. So the answer is yes, Jesse.  Wow.  And I completely agree, right? We see even back historically between Elvis and Louis Armstrong, this has been done before. This isn't a new tactic. 

And so as we go on, we'll see. And I wanted to kind of Preempt this for you. And he talked about it a little bit with Travis Kelsey,  all of, and even behind that was the tick tock. There was a whole trend around the Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift relationship situation  on tick tock, right? People were going crazy.

Girls were making jokes to their, their husbands and their boyfriends. And those were going viral. And I talked about this last time is If anything is going  quote unquote viral and you think it's organic, the likelihood of that is probably low.  If it's the number one most,  most popular trend at the time, it's very likely that that was at least in some way, shape, or form even allowed, potentially, if that's the word you want to use, instead of being  stifled, they at least allow it to happen because it fits their agenda.

And if it didn't fit their agenda, they would slap it with a big misinformation, disinformation, or at the very least, they would shadow ban the content. And so we know that at this point,  and as we start to look at more around this, I guess there's even more.  situations, but it says,  uh, and I wonder if we can look at the response, but that was crazy.

The fact that the Pentagon PSYOP organization within the Pentagon actually  came and pitched the idea. They pitched the idea that they could use Taylor Swift to conduct a PSYOP against the American people. That's an, that's actual footage available right now.  I had no idea before watching that. And that is.

Just crazy.  So as we go back in history, I wanted to start to have a discussion surrounding this and see historically what ways has art and Culture been manipulated by governmental forces to align their agenda with yours. And so we can go back and we can look at this in a few different ways.  And historically there has been not only Elvis and Louis Armstrong, but historically there's been many.

Many governments that have done this from Nazi Germany. And I listed a few here after doing some research and under Adolf Hitler, the Nazi regime used music as a propaganda tool to reinforce its ideologies and suppress any opposing or non Germanic. cultural expressions. Jewish musicians and composers were not only banned from performing, but many were also persecuted and sent to concentration camps.

The regime particularly promoted classical composers like Richard Wagner and Ludwig van van van Beethoven, who were seen as epitomizing Aryan and Germanic culture. Music played a pivotal role in Nazi rallies and events being used to evoke emotions of pride and nationalistic fervor among the masses.

Hitler Youth was also heavily indoctrinated with music that promoted Nazi ideology.  So there's one.  The Soviet government, under Joseph Stalin, reinforced strict control over the arts, including music. Composers like, forgive me, Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev  faced severe restrictions and were often compelled to adapt their compositions to fit the state's demands for music that glorified socialism and the Soviet state. 

The government established the Union of Soviet Composers, which played a key role in censoring music and ensuring it adhered to the principles of socialist realism.  Music that was considered formalist  or bourgeoisie  I don't know if I pronounced that right at all,  was condemned and composers risked persecution if their work did not align with state ideologies.

You even go back to Footloose, right? If you eliminate music, it has an effect. There's a reason that we sing in church. There's a reason that every religion across every country, across every historical timeframe ever  incorporates music  because music influences. And so if you can make one person the most influential musician  in the world  and then utilize them as a puppet to parrot the  opinions that you want them to hold that align with your agenda, why wouldn't you do that? 

The Cultural Revolution in China is another example. Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution sought to eradicate Chinese traditional culture, including its rich musical heritage. Western classical music was also banned. Instead, the government promoted revolutionary music, particularly the eight model operas that were sanctioned by Zhang Qing, Mao's wife.

Those operas and revolutionary songs were designed to glorify the Communist Party, Mao Zedong's leadership, and the revolutionary spirit of the Chinese people. This was part of a broader attempt to reshape Chinese culture and align it with the Maoist ideology. In another example, people have talked about this before, I'm not sure if there's any evidence of this, just the same way that we can't say there's any evidence of the Taylor Swift Society,  but people have talked about how when it comes to black culture in the  Late 1980s talking about how rap music and not particularly any type of rap music, but well, I guess particularly a type of rap music, which was the, uh, you know, the violent and drug riddled gang, uh, promoting.

type of rap that became popular. And we even see this today with the Travis Scotts, how much Satanism is incorporated into our music scene today. It's bizarre, but it's not bizarre because it's intentional.  And so when you go back to the 80s, even the times where the government was literally pushing crack cocaine into the ghetto areas, low income black communities, the very same time that rap music became what it was, and I love rap.

I even love late 90s or early 90s rap about gangster shit and drugs and gang stuff. But like,  it, you can't deny the fact that it influences culture.  It influences how people act. It influences how people want to be when they grow up. How do, how, what makes them cool? What type of clothes should they wear? 

What should they aspire to? Well  When all you hear about in music is selling drugs, making a bunch of money, how good they make you feel and the type of girls that you get when you do it.  What do you think you're going to do? Right? It goes hand in hand. Culture is music and music  creates culture.  And so, um, this goes on and on.

I have other ones which talks about the apartheid South of South Africa. During the apartheid era, the South African government used music as a tool to support its racial segregation policies. Cambodia used it, Iran after the 1979 revolution, North Korea, and North Korea music is used as a tool of state propaganda to an extreme degree.

All music in the country is strictly controlled by the government. Why? Why would they do that? They wouldn't. And of course they wouldn't do that here in the United States of America with us free people.  Right? Our government would never do that.  Songs are written in North Korea to glorify The Kim family, and the Workers Party of Korea, often incorporating themes of loyalty, patriotism, and devotion to the leaders.

Music is used in schools, workplaces, and public events to instill loyalty to the regime and reinforce its ideologies. There is virtually no exposure at all to international music, and creating or listening to non state approved music can result in severe penalties. And when we talk about severe penalties in North Korea, we're talking about generational imprisonment. 

Not just you go to jail.  Your sister, your brother, your mother, and your next three generations go to jail. Like, horrible, horrible stuff. And so Music has always been utilized as a weapon by governments, always, and to assume that we're just so far along that our government would never do that, they would never utilize our culture, our music, our art, our movies, against us in a way that would not be in our best interest?

No, they just let us do whatever, and wherever our culture goes, they're perfectly okay with it.  Yeah,  okay.  And, and again, this is going to be an unraveling for everybody, and I think this is maybe a really good next one that we can get into as a society, as we've already unraveled the pharmaceutical industry, the medical industrial complex, the government, the politicians, the big money, the lobbying funds, all of that has happened.

Now, as a society, I think it's time for us to realize that our culture has been infiltrated for decades. The music you listen to, the movies that you watch, the TV shows on Netflix, the articles that you read, the news media that you take in, every single piece of it, the art that you consume, the art on your walls, all of it. 

The most famous artists  have historically, in some way, shape, or form, and we go back to even the, the,  the idea of post modernism. Post modernism is a somewhat new artistic theme, and we're seeing that artistic theme. Play out today in our own culture,  culture is shaped by art.  So that's where they start,  right?

Postmodernism is the idea that there is no true reality. You have your truth. I have my truth and there's no two plus two equals five.  And so when you realize that  that's what they want to instill in your subconscious so that consciously you accept it when they tell you that a male is not a male. A male is a floating soul with no gender binary, and women are just women, and you can just declare it by standing on top of a desk and saying, I'm a woman now, even if you don't have ovaries or the ability to reproduce. 

So that's postmodernism in action, and that's one way that they took art and implemented That subliminal idea into your subconscious so that later it can be activated and weaponized against you.  And so you could say, okay, I don't know any examples of that, Austin. I couldn't imagine our CIA working alongside artists.

Well, let me clue you in, my friend.  For decades in art circles, it was either a rumor or a joke, but now it is confirmed as fact. The CIA used American modern art, including the works of such artists as such as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, William de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, right? Oh, a Rothko, right?

You know, like the pretty sure that's like the square and a circle or whatever, as a weapon. In the Cold War.  Interesting. In the manner of a renaissance prince, except that it acted secretly, the CIA fostered and promoted American abstract expressionist paintings around the world for more than 20 years. 

The connection is improbable. This was a period in the 1950s and 60s when the great majority of Americans disliked or even despised modern art. President Truman summed up a popular view when he said, If that's art, then I'm a  Hot, hot and taught. What  is a hot and taught as for the artists themselves, many were ex communists, barely acceptable in the American, in the America of the McCarthy era,  and certainly not the sort of people normally likely to receive us government backing.

Why did the CIA support them? Because in the propaganda war with the Soviet union, this new artistic movement could be held up as proof of the creativity, the intellectual freedom, and the cultural power of the United States.  Russian art strapped into the communist ideological straitjacket could not compete. 

So basically what the idea was that our artists, the way of capitalism is just so much better than everything else. This free expression, the environment of freedom and democracy and all of this stuff is so amazing that we just allow brains to thrive. And artistic expression is just so much better here in the United States.

And so they took Upwards of 20, what are they? It's 20 million and purchased this art specifically to prop up. It's like if you, if they funneled money into us companies. Through shell companies so that they could say that, Oh, but look at our democracy. Our organizations, our shell companies are so much more successful than Russian companies, because look at how much money they have.

Well, you gave them the money so you could make that argument. That's the whole point. The existence of the policy rumored and disputed for many years has now been confirmed by the, for the first time by former CIA officials, unknown to the artists, the new American art was secretly promoted under a policy known as the long.

leash  arrangement, similar in some ways to the indirect CIA backing of the journal encounter edited by Steven Spender. The decision to include culture and art in the U S cold war arsenal was taken as soon as the CIA was founded in 1947. This made that the appeal communism still have for many intellectuals and artists in the West, the new agency set up a division, the propaganda assets.

Inventory,  which at its peak could influence more than 800 newspapers, magazines, and public information organizations. They joked that it was like a Wurlitzer jukebox. When the CIA pushed a button, it could hear whatever tune it wanted to play across the entire.  The next key step came in 1950 when the international organizations division was set up under Tom Brayden.

It was this office, which subsidized the animated version of George Orwell's Animal Farm, which sponsored American jazz artists. Opera recitals, the Boston symphonies, orchestra, international touring program.  It's agents were placed in the film industry in publishing houses, even as travel writers for the celebrated photo guides.

And we now know it promoted the America's anarchic avant garde movement. Abstract. Expressionism.  Initially, more open attempts were made to support the new American art. In 1947, the State Department organized and paid for a touring international exhibition called Advancing American Art, which the aim of rebuting Soviet suggestions that America was a cultural desert.

But the show caused outrage at home, prompting Truman to make his hot and taut remark in one bitter congressman to declare, I am just a dumb American who pays taxes. For this kind of trash,  the tour had to be canceled. The U S government now faced a dilemma. The fill in the fill Philistinism combined with Joseph McCarthy's hysterical denunciations of all that was avant garde or unorthodox was deeply embarrassing.

It discredited the idea that America was sophisticated, culturally rich democracy. It also prevented the U S government from consolidating the shift in cultural supremacy from Paris to New York since the 1930s.  To resolve the CIA to resolve the dilemma. The CIA was brought in.  Hmm.  Very interesting Now this goes on and on and on.

This is an article written by independent  Independent dot co dot UK and the title of it is modern art was CIA Weapon and it was written written  on Sunday the 22nd October of 1995  Super interesting article, I absolutely think that you could dive into more of the history of that, but I just want to give you that background.

That's just one aspect of it, where our CIA has been a part of influencing culture through art.  Now we can go into the next part of this, which is called Operation Mockingbird.  And Operation Mockingbird was the hand in hand  CIA operation between journalists, news networks, and Hollywood.  And I myself need to do a deeper dive into this, but I had just recalled about this when talking about the Taylor Swift conversation and honestly, I didn't think this conversation would go that long.

I usually have some warm up articles sometimes before I get into the deep stuff, but man, this is so interesting to me that I think we could probably sit here for five hours and talk about this.  But it really is a culture death. You go back and listen to music, go back and listen to Led Zeppelin, go listen to a CDC, go listen to any of the, the great musicians of the 1970s and early eighties before the, the, the, the fingertips of the CIA started to get into our music and.

We have done nothing but go downhill as a society musically.  There's very few examples that you can give me that would even rival any of that. The very first, I'll give you a side story, go down the memory lane real quick. When I was maybe, oh, I don't know,  8 years old, 8 to 10 years old probably, my grandparents, Took me on a train ride to Chicago from Detroit to go see my cousins And I had just gotten for the train ride a new Walkman.

I believe it was a gray Sony Walkman and  My dad took me to go get my very first CD for my Walkman and I ended up getting the Led Zeppelin discography So all I listened to for probably Six months was every Led Zeppelin song ever and  that is still to this day my favorite album I have the vinyl upstairs right now that I listen to  greatest band of all time in my opinion  anyways Trip down memory lane, so  We have had a cultural death an artistic death here in the United States that has been unfolding for decades you even want to talk about architecture and I would love to do an interview with somebody who could speak more on this because I'm not an architect and I don't know the history of architecture But to me you go back and you look at even go back and look at Roman times Greek times go back and look at  the Gothic eras and and go back and look at  Pyramids like there go back and look at any history of time in the last 2000 years, and you will see if you took a time machine every 100 years, you would see beautiful architecture, cathedrals, and and  political buildings and and  courthouses and schools and all of these things are so beautifully created because when people used to create architecture, they used to do it to, to please the gods.

They used to do it because there's a frequency within the building that you're in. And when you walk up to it and go through that door, there's a feeling that should be associated with that. And that is dead in the United States. Go drive your car around and the only thing you're going to see is a box and a box and a bigger box and a taller box and a wider box and you drive your box by the boxes and you see the boxes and you walk home to your box and you open up the box door to get into your box room to go into your box kitchen to create something in your box oven and pull something out of the box fridge to It's an endless cycle of squares in, in our culture, in our architecture.

And it's, it's so sad to me to see that we just, that that's what we live in today.  And so when we look at  whether it's Project Mockingbird, whether we look at  the CIA working hand in hand with the art within the Cold War, whether we talk about the, the historical aspects of music.  There has been  nothing but death of creativity in the United States. 

Every piece of culture that has been brought here has slowly dwindled and died, and it seems to me like it died at the hands of the organizations that are being funded by our tax dollars so that they can diminish our creativity, and so that they can control You are subconscious, and I think bringing it full circle back around to Taylor Swift is that's exactly what has happened.

Here  and now I do have a full article on the project Mockingbird.  Let's see how far into this Well, we did 38 minutes on Taylor Swift 

So I think we can move on but I did find a substack article because it was actually a little bit interesting It's called a media manipulation the operation Mockingbird. It was written October 14th 2024 and it is from the reveal revealed. I Substack so revealed I dot substack. com and it looks like they do a pretty I don't know decent breakdown I haven't read through it all yet, but  I think 38 minutes on  on  Media manipulation and Taylor Swift is probably a good start.

So  On your own time, feel free to go watch that. Here's a quick video on Project Mockingbird. Then we'll move on 

real concern  That planted story is intended to serve a national purpose abroad  Came home  And were circulated here, and believed here. 

Because, uh,  this would mean that  the CIA could manipulate the news in the United States by channeling it through some foreign country. And we're looking at that very carefully. Do you have any  people being paid  by the CIA  who are contributing  to a major circulation American journal? We do have people who submit pieces to other, to American journals.

Do you have any people  paid by the CIA  who are working for  television networks?  This, I think, gets into the kind of, uh, getting into the details, Mr. Chairman, that I'd like to get into in an executive session.  Uh, at CBS, uh,  we, uh, Had been contacted by the CIA. As a matter of fact, by the time I became the head of the whole news and public affairs operation in 1954.

Ships had been established and I was told about them and asked if I'd carry on with them. We have  quite a lot of detailed information,  uh, and we will  evaluate it and we will include any,  um,  evidence of wrongdoing  or any evidence of impropriety  in our final report and make recommendations.  Do you have any people  being paid by the CIA  who are contributing to the  National News Services, AP and UPI? 

Well, again, I think we're getting into the kind of detail, Mr. Chairman, that I'd prefer to handle in an executive session.  Senator, do you think you named the new plan? So the answer is yes.  Uh, that remains to be decided. I think it was entirely in order for our correspondents at that time, uh, to make use of, uh, C.

I. A. agent, uh, chiefs, uh, of station and other members of the executive staff of C. I. A. as source.  Alright, so there you have it. You can go, uh, read it through the article there, um, find it on Substack, uh, reveal. i. substack. com.  Alright, so, let's move on. on from that into the next topic, which is going to be  that in New York  over the past few days, there has been a A  bit of a debacle and one specifically between the Hasidic  Jewish community in New York and the New York police.

So the New York police showed up  to a synagogue  in,  let's see here, let  me go ahead and pull it up. 

All right.  Basically what happened is the police showed up and they decided that they needed to shut down a underground. Tunnel system  in New York, underneath a place of worship where these Hasidic Jews would go and  congregate.  And the idea behind this, the mainstream narrative is that the secret underground synagogue tunnels were causing destabilization  of the buildings that were surrounding it.

So that's the mainstream narrative that's come out in the last day or so.  And nine of these Jews were arrested.  And now I do want to preempt this with.  Love my Jewish family.  I'm not Jewish, so I don't technically have Jewish family, but you know what I mean?  Love Jewish people. I love Christian people. I love Muslim people.

I have no affinity towards any one class over the other. I have my own personal spiritual beliefs. I don't think that any religious beliefs in and of themselves make you a great or a bad person. I believe that there's Terrible people who are Jewish, and there's great people that are Jewish, there's terrible people who are Christians, there's great people that are Christians, there's terrible people who are Muslims, and there's great people who are Muslims.

I've met them all.  Mostly good people across the board. I can't even look at one and be like, Hey, I've met a bunch of people in this. No, every religion has bad apples. Just like you can say, you know, there's a bunch of people who say, Oh, police are bad. No, they're not bad. There's bad people everywhere in every occupation, religion, uh,  country, uh, whatever it is. 

There's bad people everywhere, in every type of thing, but mostly people are good, mostly people intend good, and I, so, there's your disclaimer,  as we go into this, because it's a very, um, very sensitive time, for this specific culture, and I get that, and so, I'm just going to preempt that. There's your disclaimer.

All right. Now, everything from here forward is just me  talking, but, uh, understand it from that framework. Um, so just as we were discussing, there has been a Jewish synagogue. That was creating underground tunnels. They were digging, digging, digging underground tunnels. And so the idea from the Jewish community that was there, and this is a very specific Jewish community.

It's the Hasidic Jews, the, uh, I can see if I can pull up the exact names of them here for you. Cause it, it does matter because the specific culture is known for having to deal with some very specific, uh,  um, pushback in certain situations in this small area. So this specific. Uh, Jewish culture, I believe is a, um, more Orthodox culture and I actually have a whole thing here, but  to me, it's of Russian descent and So here's the general idea is that they were digging these holes and they claim that they were digging these holes because they were six.

They started digging these holes six months ago because of the COVID restrictions or they dug them during COVID because they wanted to Uh, congregate and practice their faith during a time where they were being told, no, you cannot do that.  Okay. Now there's a secondary theory, which is that they are digging these tunnels because the person that they, the, the,  the Messiah, I believe that they believe in  says that you have to consistently expand your place of worship.

And maybe I'm getting that wrong because we'll get into a thread here in just a moment. Um, but let's, let's dive into the timeline of this. So on January 8th, videos circulated that showed a tunnel network under the Lubavitch, that's the specific one, the Lubavitch HQ in Crown Heights and several Jewish men being arrested.

More videos show another Jewish man escaping through another tunnel and a group. resisting officers. The building was shut down afterwards.  Initially, the claim was that the tunnels were made to pray during COVID. This, according to this thread,  okay, and this thread is not, this is not CNN. This is not Fox.

This is not, um, it's not a news organization. So  In, I guess, everything you hear from every organization because I'm talking about those two, too. I wouldn't believe Fox or CNN on everything either, but this is the individual account on X, so take it with a grain of salt, but this seemed to be the most, uh,  factually and organized article that I could find on this. 

It says initially the claim was the tunnels were made to pray during COVID. This is most likely false. Neighbor with Mikva access, as of six months ago, no work on the tunnel had begun. Since renovation was the main reason the tunnels were noticed, they could have Um,  and now they add some receipts here, which says that the tunnel found burrowed under the women's section of 770, possibly destabilizing the building.

And there's three, four other articles that are attached to this to back up the idea that they were just stating there.  And so the next thing that it states here as we go into that, and so that's the,  the general idea is that they were saying, Oh, we were doing this. During COVID because we weren't allowed to worship.

Well, it seems to be that that was according to this false because these tunnels weren't started, but six months ago  now where it really started to get some fuel on the fire is during one of these videos, as these people are.  Resisting arrest. There was a, quite the scene. They're flipping over pews and creating these wall barriers as the police are grabbing them and they're pushing back and forth.

And like this, this, the whole chaos ensuing inside of the synagogue.  And as that's happening, a guy is breaking down the walls and like a police officer is like, or is breaking down the walls and starting to pull people out of it.  And one of the, the, um, Jewish people that are there  pull out a mattress and on this mattress, this is a soiled mattress that looks to be whether it's old blood or,  uh, feces or something that's on this mattress.

And it seems to be a small mattress. Um, Uh, that some people were saying was meant for, uh, a child and that's kind of what it looks like. Okay. But we won't make any assumptions yet, but that's, that's what's probably one of the biggest fuels of the fire. Now, the other thing that was very questionable about the situation is one of the people, one of the Jewish guys was escaping and he went through the tunnel system and he came up, right?

Next to a child's museum.  Hmm. Now that's not to say that there's children in the museum, but it is to say that the museum is meant for children.  And so there has been  theories  that these individuals were using this for some sort of human trafficking.  Okay. Now again, unfounded, a couple of weird coincidences  and.

Here's the side part. If these people were just digging tunnels so that they could pray during COVID, more power to them. That's awesome. You should do that. Fuck the government. They can't tell you what you can and cannot do, especially when it comes to your religious practices. So,  wholeheartedly believe that.

If that's what they were doing, awesome. They should do it. Um, but, there's a lot of skepticism around maybe some more nefarious reasons why this was happening.  And so, as we go deeper into this thread and deeper into this article,  It starts to talk about some of those things. It talks about the mattress, talks about the, um, the pushing and shoving that ensued, I believe nine people total were arrested that were a part of this synagogue.

 

 so the next portion of this says, The contents of the tunnel are very disturbing and don't seem like items extremists students would keep. A mattress with a dark stain was found. A baby high chair? Was found as well. So that's a weird one.  The crowd protecting the tunnels isn't small. They are also aren't of student age. 

Here's the full video of the tunnel network that we have access to. The video shows passageways that extend that aren't explored. It's unclear whether the other passages might contain does this tunnel network look like something done in six months? So it's absolutely does not look like something done in six months.

So let me share this with you here.  Um, this is.  It looks old, almost, to me. It looks like it's been used. There's, there's like, old chipped paint hanging off of door frames, and there's a big, uh, like, sand  Let me go ahead and  expand this for you here, but there's the, the high chair,  there's what looks like some wheel barrels,  a bunch of just stuff thrown around, cinder blocks thrown around some carved little tunnel doorways that they're crawling into now with a flashlight.

And so as they walk back, it's just a crawl space now, essentially from the more.  Substantial part of it that is where  could have been where that person  came up into that right right outside of that Children's Museum. So that's bizarre. I don't think this was built six months ago. Again, I'm not a  archaeologist or whatever the hell you need to be to date that stuff.

But it says where does the tunnel exit to using geomapping one of the tunnels exit near the local Children's Museum. It's also unclear how large the tunnel network is and where the other passages lead. As more information comes in, we will know how extensive the network is. And they show you the photos as to how they know this.

This is where the video where the guy came out of it. This is the photo where they actually found that same portion of it. Um, discussion of the tunnels online has been avoided by many accounts. Some accounts claimed the tunnels were even fake. Israel War Room labeled such discussions of the tunnel anti Semitic.

They claim that it's just a simple building code violation. Hmm, then why are we getting in, like, fights and arrested over  building code violations? You get a  fine for that. You don't get arrested. You don't get into pushing, shoving matches with the police over building codes. It says the label conspiracy theorist has been applied to people who believe tunnels could have been used to harm kids.

No explanation has been given for the stained mattress and baby high chair in the tunnels. Is the conspiracy or is there more to the Brooklyn community?  Research reveals a dark history of sexual assault in the Brooklyn area. If you do speak out about it, you are shunned from the community and harassed.

Disturbing testimony in the article speculates that the number of young boys sexually assaulted could be as high as 50%.  The community is, and there's four different articles that it attaches there. The community is very secretive and will oftentimes cover up or silence people who have been assaulted.

The community is very religious and strict. If you go against the grain, the community turns against you.  Hmm. And they have a video  about this specific here with a religious look at the Satmar sect. John, good morning. Good morning. Fascinating case. And it's a case that's being watched closely Anthony, not just because of the allegation that a trusted community leader sexually abused a young girl.

He was  assigned to help, but also because the trial has. 

Hmm.  Okay.  So it sounded like maybe a different name of a different sect. That he was mentioning here, but within the Brooklyn area, a specific Jewish Pull back the veil, concealing the inner workings of a closed community.  The trial of the  Alright.  So, here's shuns those who have been traumatized. They send threats to the survivors, harass them, and have total control over their lives.

Police confirm it is very tough to get convictions and to have victims.  While we wait for more information, here are some of the questions I and many others have about the tunnels. What was the liquid on the stained mattress? Why was there a baby high chair in the tunnel?  Has a full forensic analysis been performed in the area?

Where does the tunnels lead?  Hmm. All good questions. Do any security cameras have clear view of entrances to the tunnels? If so, have they been subpoenaed? Have there been any people who reported this before the renovations in December 2023? Who anonymously  tipped off the fire department? Who used the tunnels? 

How many minors entered the tunnels? Have any minors displayed behavior of a survivor upon exiting the tunnels? Okay, this is like, it's very specific. So, there's, there's the thread for you. Now, as we go into the  culture  surrounding this community that we are referencing here, which again is not just the normal Orthodox Judaism, it's not, um, it's a specific religious sect within Brooklyn.

It's a very small, tight knit community, um, that are, uh, uh, uh, uh, Hasidic, uh, Yadkivik, right? Is that the name of it? So, very specific, uh, religious sect. So it says, okay. Once upon a time, it says, okay, for real. Once upon a time in Eastern Europe, a movement called Shabbat was founded. Its founder was Rabbi Schnur Zalman of Laity.

This was in 1812. He was many things, among them a genius, Talmudist, and rabbi, the Kalbalist and mystic, and the rarest of things, a true original thinker. A Kabbalist, sorry, a Talmudist, meaning he follows the Talmud, um, and a rabbi and a Kabbalist and a mystic. So, there is a really interesting conversation surrounding the mystical Judaism, uh, there is a whole subsection of, of Judaism, uh, and historically much more prevalent.

Back then, but that believed in mysticism and there is certain sections of this that still do, but like literal magic, um,  while a true original of, and one of, in my opinion, the greatest philosophers and theologians in the history of humankind, he was also profoundly devoted to his own teachers in the Hasidic tradition and saw himself as the natural successor.

The Hasidic tradition was founded a couple of generations earlier, and one of the prophecies is connection and devotion to a master in Hasidic parlance above all. Hasidism love and devote themselves to their rabbi as the one who helps connect the soul of the Jew with godliness. Okay, sounds a little bit like Catholicism, right?

The aspect of Hasidic Judaism made into a lesser extent continues to make some people nervous. However, it has also been extremely thoroughly defended and broadly accepted as a legitimate manifestation of Judaism, which always has its Moses, Rabbi Akiva, and Vilna.  And again, this is a single account. This isn't a religious text.

This isn't a official person that is sitting here giving me this information, but it is, seems to be pretty legit to me. Um, but I haven't done a ton of research on the theology behind Hasidic mystic Judaism. Um, Rabbi, Rabbi Schnur Shabbat, uh, Rabbi Schnur Zalman Shabbat movement. So it's the Shabbat.

Hasidic Judaism is one movement within a much broader Hasidic world full of dynasties of Rees, which each of their own rich traditions in ways, and it's R-E-B-B-E-S, not rabbis, although it is not a widely studied, they're al always emphasized point has has Hasidism  Hasidism as part of their devotion.

Generally see their rabbi as a Masonic figure. The word is loaded and makes people extremely uncomfortable. It may worth pausing briefly to explain that Hasidism is seen by,  um, the founding of the movement as a redemptive revelation of Torah, a movement whose original Geist is to raise the Jewish people from the spiritual and physical malaise of exile and return them to their deepest soul and identity, a holy nation.

with God.  The more that holiness and redemptive soul is brought into the world, the more the time of the general redemption, the macronism of that inner redemption draws near. The rabbi is a Torah of flesh and blood, that general reality in state instantiated in a holy and saintly individual.  Uh, so much for the brief explanation.

They said fast forward to the 20th century, the descendant of Rabbi Schnur Zalman, Rabbi Joseph Yitzhak of Lubavitch  survives imprisonment. and near execution by the KGB in the Nazi bombing of Warsaw, and after much deliberation, moves to New York City. Wow, that's wild. the known reasons for this choice are varied.

Some are spiritual, New York becoming a center of influence on world Jewry.  Not sure that's a word. Um, and some are very pragmatic. The Jews of the U. S. are already monetarily feeding most of the Eastern Bloc Jewry.  Thus, the sixth Lubavitcher rabbi, Lubavitch is a tiny town in Belarus that has the home of the longest surviving branch of the Shabbat movement, um, comes to Brooklyn and moves into 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights.

The sixth rabbi passes away in 1950 and is succeeded by his son in law and distant cousin, Rabbi Menchem, Mendel Schneerson. In 1951, though he doesn't live in the building, 770 is where his office is located and remains the HQ of the Shabab movement.  Now you have to understand the Shabab movement in the U.

S. in 1951 can practically fit into a single small room. It is a tiny poor immigrant community, remnants of a world for that the Nazis and Bolsheviks destroyed between them. They had nothing, no resources, no connections, barely any English, a tiny immigrant community in what was then a prestigious middle class Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn.

What they got in 1951, however, was capital L leadership. Not sure what that means.  The 7th Rebbi, henceforth the Rebbi, declares in his first official speech as Rebbi that this is the generation that will bring a final end to exile and usher in the messianic age. He declares this about a long room full of people. 

He then sets about changing world Jewry.  Again, don't know if that's a word. Books could be written about the Rebbi and have been, but suffice to say the Rebbi creates from nothing a mass movement devoting to hunting down and love the Jews that Hitler hunted and hatred. I'm not going to read all of it.

hunting down  in love, the Jews that hunter, that Hitler hunted in hatred with bringing Torah and mitzvoth, in love. The commandments to every single Jew. Shabbat centers, so it sounds like they're trying to just expand among all of the Jewish people. Shabbat centers with no central funding whatsoever, by the way, are opened all over the world.

The rabbi pushes and pushes for a single Jew to perform a single commandment. He seeks to revive a broken and orphaned generation. He expands Shabbat and massive global movement.  All of this is just an atheist, know nothing  All of this is just what an atheist know nothing can appreciate about the Rebbe.

He barely slept and was totally publicly devoted to other people for decades. Stories of Jews and non Jews meeting with him are countless, and always he emphases the imminent redemption and how to get there.  Okay, now it says we get to the sensitive part of the story, but I'm going to try to stick to simple public fact.

The Rebbe's emphasis on, um, The Messiah grows greater and greater in his final years of leadership. The Rebbe passes away in 1994. The Rebbe's Hasidism very much believed, and believe, that if anyone in this generation was a candidate to become the final Redeemer according to Jewish law and tradition, it was and is the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

However, following the Rebbe's passing, as the dust settles, there is a bit of a split.  Some hedonism fervently believe that spreading the awareness of the Rebbe as the Redeemer is a core part of bringing about the Redemption. They are the Masik, Mes, Mesh, Ikitism.  M E S H I C H I S T I M. Their flag is yellow and ubiquitous.

The majority of Hasidism and ever growing consolidated core of Shabbat official organs believe that this is not the Rebbe's will. Okay. Um.  Now another issue, 770, the home and place, let's see if there's anything specific we want to get into here. Uh, now you know a lot about a certain subsection of Jewish culture that you probably never needed to know so much about.

Um, another thing you should know is that even beyond the, by now, old distinction between, uh, the maschicatism  and the anti S, as they are known, Shabbat is highly decentralized and full of typical politics. Territorialism fights over money and all sorts of very human issues.  Okay,  uh, let's see what else. 

Um, this person is very thorough in their study of this.  Um, and so, to the current contremps, you have a global, decentralized, massively successful organization that runs charities and synagogues and helps Jews with problems, physical and spiritual, all over the world  with an official HQ partially occupied by something like a street gang.

Sounds like we missed that part, but I'm not going to go back for you. Um, and so, uh, This basically just says they're not above violence to claim their own turf. There's a big turf war between that split off between one subsection of this and the other subsection. In any case, this week, the actual ownership of 7770 called the cement trucks to repair this damage and stop the progress on the expansionism.

Um  Interesting. 

Uh, basically it says that as a result of this expansionism and taking over this territory, they wanted to, uh, start breaking into,  uh, the, the, so basically one portion of this subsection lives in the top floor and one portion lives on the bottom floor. And so, uh, you have a global decentralized, right?

Like a streaking. This, uh, Fat Tim. have taken upon themselves in recent months unilaterally to expand 770. Their way was doing was starting to break into an adjoining basement. The main synagogue of 770 is in the basement and old decommissioned ritual bath. Or mitzvah.  770 is indeed, which a mikvah is basically where you're supposed to go bath, bathe yourselves.

Women are supposed to go there before they have their period. Men are supposed to go there before and after they have sex. It's like a, it's like you cleanse yourself in this area. Um, 770 is, Uh, is indeed far too small for the massive number of people who wish to pray there, study there, or something that more and more Hasidism have been seeking a proper solution to for years.

However, a bunch of teenagers breaking down walls in their free time, you be the judge. In any case, this week, the actual ownership of 770 called in the cement trucks to repair this damage and stop the progress on the expansion. Um, the Fatim responded territorially, the police became involved, and you have videos of Yeshiva students escaping arrest through sewer gates.

I think that's most of the factual context. You're welcome.  Wow! Uh, okay. Super super interesting.  Uh, if you wish to read more about these topics, here are some good books. The Philosophy of Shabbat by Rabbi Nisan Mindel, The Rebbe's Army by Sue Fishcough, and Rebbe by Josef Tolskien. Hmmm.  Very interesting. 

Uh, the broad interest in this story on Twitter and beyond is largely antisemitic with filth like this, uh, is a dime a dozen. Looks like something was, uh, deleted there. Um, interesting. Okay. So this makes much more sense to me and I think was probably. important to actually get into the details on, uh, then, uh, then  long term human trafficking under the streets of New York.

Uh, so we have come to a conclusion and that is I vote. Not human trafficking. That is my, that is my conclusion here. I have debunked this, uh, maybe not completely, but it seems much more likely that that was the case, is that there's a bunch of territorial, uh, Jew fights going on and they're fighting over territory and expanding their territory and the landlord called on them and they were digging into the basement and now we see what we have.

A little weird that there was a high chair.  There, so there's your competing threads, I guess, and one thread being these, uh, this Jewish sect is creating underground tunnels for human trafficking, the other one being this is a territory war between very  somewhat poor, um, and,  uh,  emotionally charged organizations for territory.

Um, so that, that seems to make a lot more sense to me guys than, than underground human trafficking. Jewish rabbis.  I don't know. Um, but there is some articles out there of, of, you know, just as you can find for Christians and Catholics of wrongdoings, which if that's the, the  ruler that you measure everybody's affiliations by, then you can basically say that everybody is running a human trafficking organization then, I guess. 

All right, so let's move on.  The last thing that we're going to talk about, and we're going to talk about this somewhat briefly, is the fact that, uh, and let me go ahead and actually just pull this article up, because I haven't been, I haven't had time to read through this completely yet, because this just happened.

So, this is breaking news, is the fact that the United States and the UK coalition conducted a strike  on Houthi rebels. A joint strike, and So, as this article loads, we'll learn more and more, but I guess the, the, uh, the concern around this is that the reason that,  the concern around this is obviously that the Houthi rebels are backed by Iran.

Right? So, this is, this comes from Fox News, and it says, hold 

this over a little bit.  Alright, this comes from Fox News, where it says,  as it loaded and unloaded on me, um,  That the U. S. and U. K. coalition strike  Iran backed Houthi targets in Yemen after spat of ship attacks in the Red Sea. So you've been hearing this back and forth, right?  The drone strikes, and the aircraft carriers shooting down the drones, and all of this has been going on with these rebel militants that are backed by Iran.

And so what I think is interesting is it's always Iran backed militants.  Is, is, are Ukraine, in every article by Russia, U. S. backed?  Ukrainian militants?  Do they? I'm sure they understand the proxy war just as much there as we do here, right? So if we're calling that every single thing, it's not it's not a war with Houthi rebels.

It's a war with Iran. And that's what they're preempting for us. And that's that's what the priming that we're seeing here is before they put Houthi, they put Iran backed and that's for a reason. So Yemen's Iran backed Houthi militants have stepped up attacks or commercial on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and 

It says the United States and Britain carried out a series of strikes on military organizations and locations belonging to Iran backed  Houthis in Yemen early Friday in response to militant groups ongoing attacks on vessels traveling through the Red Sea. Fox News is told that there were attacks on more than a dozen Houthi targets by air, surface, and subsurface platforms.

The attacks were carried out with support from Australia, Netherlands, Iran and Canada, a U. S. defense official says the U. K. contributed aircraft.  President Biden said he'd authorize strikes in direct response to unprecedented  Houthi attacks against the International Maritime Vessels in the Red Sea, including the use of anti ship ballistic missiles for the very first time in history.

These Houthi attacks, Biden said, have endangered U. S. personnel and its allies and have threatened freedom of navigation.  These targeted strikes are a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or allow hostile actors to imperil freedom of navigation in one of the world's most critical commercial routes.

I would love to hear President Biden say imperil freedom of navigation together. That would be impressive.  I will not hesitate. He said to direct further measurements to protect our people.  And the free flow of international commerce as necessary.  The strikes came shortly after the White House called a lid on President Biden's engagements for the evening as he was not expected to discuss the matter publicly.

It follows news that the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had not notified the President or other officials of his whereabouts for several days. Okay. A joint statement from the government basically said that the strikes were intended to disrupt and degrade the abilities of the Houthis use to threaten global trade and the lives of international mariners.

Okay,  um, the big question people have around this  is the concern of getting into an engagement with Iran.  That seems to be on everybody's mind, because if Iran steps in, right, then then the domino effect happens, then China could invade Taiwan simultaneously, as we're in this engagement with Iran, and then Russia and in the invasion in Ukraine, and then, right, you have all these these These pieces right when you play chess you move pieces in a position so that the second the You can cause a break that you're ready to go right you move your your Rook into a certain position so that he both has a defensive position and an offensive position But maybe you leave him there for ten moves  Right?

Maybe you get you give him some time while you put other pieces in position, and then there's always a certain time in chess where all hell breaks loose, right? At least when I play, I'm not the greatest chess player, but I enjoy it.  But it always seems like it's like waiting, waiting, waiting, go. And I think that could be what people are concerned about here is that we're seeing this waiting. 

And the second that the the  The second the United States begins, excuse me, the second the United States begins an engagement with anybody,  then we're divided amongst several, several positions at one time and that's not a good thing. So the response to this by Hezbollah, the Hezbollah could strike in U.

S., Intel officials warn and this is at the same exact time. Time.  Lebanese terror group Hezbollah may attack American troops or diplomats abroad, or even strike the United States at home, officials told Political Wednesday.  Hezbollah could draw on the capability they have to put people in places to do something,  i.

e.  easy immigration into the United States. It is something to be worried about, that official, as well as three other anonymous ones that publication cited.  Said that the Iran backed group would likely hit American targets abroad first. The terror group was more capabilities than others in the region, according to the officials, such as a more expansive international network.

Many officials in President Joe Biden's administration do not believe that Iran wants a broader war, but they have been working to decrease tensions in the Middle East.  Still, recent events have contributed to fears that the conflict between Israel and Hamas could spread into surrounding countries into the Middle East. 

Along with its campaign in Gaza, the Jewish state has exchanged fire with Hezbollah since Hamas October 7th terror attacks. On Tuesday, Hezbollah hit an Israeli base using drones, and the Israel Defense Forces killed three of the terror group's members in southern Lebanon.  Hezbollah has said recent attacks on the Jewish state are part of a response to its apparent killing of a Hamas. 

FBI Director Christopher Wray said in early December that the general threat for foreign terrorist organizations has evaluated since October 7th and elevated, telling a Senate panel that he saw blinking lights everywhere I turn. 

Interesting. 

Very interesting. In, uh, 1983, Hezbollah conducted bombings of the U. S. embassy and marine barracks in Lebanon during the country's civil war, which saw Israel invade it a year.  Now, one thing that's interesting about this, as we go back, is that, uh, and this comes from the Post Millennial, as I was doing some research on this, it says, Trump designated Yemen's Houthis as terrorists.

Hope that Travis Kelsey drops the ball.  And if you are in New York and you see a man with a, uh, a, um,  you see a Jewish man pop up from a sewer. Don't worry. They're just in a territory dispute with their neighbors.  All right, guys. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart.
