Tue Episode #2193: Pentagon Hardware Turned Police into Occupation Forces

all began about a decade ago. And there was an article that just came out from the Intercept saying, look at this now. All these people who are very paranoid about this decade ago are now cheering it. That's exactly what is happening. And so I'm going to take a look at the Pentagon's continuing vision. Their vision hasn't changed about what they want to do. That's what we were talking about at the time. And we're also going to

talk about AI some incredibly amazing, crazy results. Who've got a social network now that has been created for AI agents, no humans humans can watch but they're talking to themselves now and I meanwhile, the Pentagon wants to hand the keys to the place over to these bots.

were using info wars to push this out. Mcgraven, who was head of Special Forces at the time, Admiral mccraven, had said, we need to get back to our psyop roots and special forces. We see all these movies about people jumping out of planes and all these kinetic things and stuff like that, because we really still guarded was

of special forces and psyops. They would basically go into an area that the US is going to start a war with or invade, and they would plant stories there and see how people reacted to them so they could identify who was going to be their ally and who was going to be their friend. And I believed that that was the purpose of jay noown from the very beginning. And I think that they used in for wars for

that purpose. But let's go back and see from the perspective of the left, because that's where the intercept is coming from. Talk of troops in American cities, federal shock troops, brutalizing citizens and neighbors, the targeting of gun owners, mass surveillance, the deployment of militarized artificial intelligence, and the suspension of the constitution. By the way, folks, you are here, this is where it is. There is twenty fifteen and twenty

and fifteen. The far right was incensed, they said, But now the far right embraces this because it's Trump. It was bad because it was Obama. But if Trump is going to bring in military martial law and take over the cities, that's just fine. Isn't it amazing how these people can't extrapolate even when they've experienced Obama, when they've experienced Biden and his J six persecutions, they still can't

get it. It's incredible. It was also a time of post Snowden horror, as a nation realized that it was living inside an unfathomably immense government surveillance dragnet endorsed and expanded by both political parties.

involved in it and a lot of people did. Reveals how much about the hucksters who pushed it and the tolerance of many Americans for stay depression so long as they are not the intended targets. The cauldron of hatred, federal violence, and surveillance brewed by the paranoiax who pounced on jade Helm has spilled over today, not in the form of right wing phobia, but of right wing policy.

Let me just say, if they're actually watching you, you're not paranoid, right How could they in one paragraph say look, this is where we are today. This is actually happening. And in the other next paragraph they talk about paranoia of the right. That wasn't paranoia, it was understanding where these people were going. And I think even though Alex understands where they're going, he certainly does know what's going on.

He is a huckster. In July twenty fifteen, Alex Jones, at that point, still little more than a punchline, they said, issued a die or warning on his website info Wars. This is an ergency broadcast. He began to militarize the police, to put standing armies on the streets, to suppress the population,

and to carry out political operations. But now he celebrates it, doesn't he Jones are referring to publicly released Pentagon planning documents detailing Jade Helm fifteen military training exercise throughout sparsely populated swaths of the American South from Florida to Texas. As is often the case when the dishonest have primary documents. In a vasked megaphone, Jones mistated nearly every detail of the materials, and that is true. He hyped it. It

was good for business. A map from what was essentially a large scale military role playing game. Labeling Texas as hostile colored in red was irrefutable evidence to Jones that the Obama administration was prepared to let loose a national security state on the conservative heartland. Well prior to this, we had reported over and over again about the military exercises that were being done in cities like Chicago and

LA and other places like that. And they said, well, when question about it, they said, you train where you're going to fight. It's like, what's that about. And then they talk about the fact that the Obama administration was putting M wraps in everywhere, you know, small town sheriffs were getting them if they would be willing to take them. What they found out was that they were getting white elephants.

These things were hastily put together for the war in Iraq, these mine resistant armored personnel carriers M wraps, and they were a nightmare of maintenance expenses. And so what they did was the Pentagon retained of it, but gave it to some of these communities, small shares and stuff like that, so they could I guess, drive around and parades or something. And in part of the militarization of the police, letting them role play as swat the teams and that type

of thing. But they quickly found out that it was so expensive to maintain them, and they had to be maintained by the local people. A lot of them gave them back. But as I pointed out of the time, why were they doing that, what is the motivation for that? Well, one possible motivation would be I give this these people, they maintain it, and of course it trains them to

think of themselves as military. The other thing is that if they decided that they were going to actually run something out like Trump is doing now, these things are still under the control, still owned by the Pentagon, and if they've been maintained as they were required to maintain them, then they're already there pre placed. Then they have to move them around the country. They pre deployed them. And it was a very strange change in the Obama administration.

It was newsworthy where they're not the intercept thought.

have to deal with the biggest fires. So it made sense to give them some equipment to help them to do that, especially if it was surplus equipment that the military didn't really want to use anymore because maybe it was outdated and vulnerable. They stopped that program so they could start putting this equipment in with police departments and sheriff's departments, and so you had a lot of volunteer

firemen immediately start writing letters. Are very politically involved, they're active, they're volunteers, and they got senators in several states to push back right away, and they stopped that policy right away from Obama. But it said something about what their

motives were, and I thought were very important. So that was really the full context the military drills that happened over and over again in large cities, especially Democrat cities, and the fact that they had the deployment of these things. And then also there was the asymmetric warfare aspect of it. That's why I went to Fort ap Hill. Whigs. Sorry, go ahead, and.

That doesn't look anything like the Middle East.

shooting illegal immigrants. No, they're doing that to American citizens.

civil liberties will not be infringed. As he put it in an April twenty fifteen letter ordering their mobilization, this is.

the importance of of partisan political parties. Right, it blinds people to what is happening. The left was blinded to it, then the right is blinded to it. Now the reality is it was happening then, and it's happening now, and it's further along, and this is the agenda. Locals organized jade Helm volunteer groups that monitored and recorded military movement.

Oath Keepers describe jade Helm on its website as a quote portentious government plan, a prefabricated, preconstructed umbrella under which a black op by the Deep States compartmentalized agencies could possibly go live in a fantastic sort of chakanaw false flag psycho coup to jar the public mind of America through fear into acceptance of some nefarious policy, you know, like Operation Warp Speed, which they just set that out.

So I changing the mind of America through fear into the acceptance of some new faarian policy that the government desired, such as establishment of martial law, complete loss of individual liberty and our constitution. Oh that was twenty twenty. Now today he's taking it to the next step, isn't he. And so I always felt the purpose of this was a siop. As I said, I felt this was to essentially inoculate them from any criticism about it. Oh yeah,

they criticized that, But see what jade Helm. Nothing happened. And so I always believe that was what was going on, largely unconcerned and frequently unconstrained by law. Trump has found in his Department of Homeland Security. What Jones warned was coming a decade ago, a paramilitary force to terrorize political opponents and demographic undesirables. That's right, and it was all

about identification of people in different groups. Trump and a docile American right wing have finally delivered the jade helm presidency. You've now got armored personnel carriers today carrying masked, heavily armed, pointlessly camouflaged. That's the thing I said the other day, I said, these guys are all wearing camouflage like they're in the jungle. That doesn't help you in the city, does it. It actually makes you stand out. And I

guess that's the point. You know, this is kind of Christynome level role playing when you wear camouflage in the cities. So federal commandos going through American cities that voted against the president, and it's backed by a sophisticated national surveillance apparatus. Trump and his lieutenants beneficiaries of American right wing reshaped by the likes of Jones and his audience make real explicit quiet fantasizing attributed to Obama during Jade Helm speaking

openly of American communities as hives of the enemy. In September, Trump announced impending deportation operations in Chicago with a doctored image depicting the city under attack with may palm. You remember that. That's the most amazing thing to me. I took that meme and expanded it.

What Trump didn't do and his meme was have himself holding the Constitution lighting it from below, which is really what is happening here, folks. Yeah, so say that you're going to attack napalm Chicago by napalm, Chicago is going to find out why. It's why it is called the Department of War, said Trump in his tweet. Imagine if

Obama had done that. Just imagine. And yet these same people who would have been rightfully outraged if Obama had said that, don't care at all when it's Trump who is saying that.

or when the market is going to fall. There was a Pentagon video that was done back in twenty fifteen, I think, and this is also something that's picked up by the intercept at the time. Listen to the Pentagon's vision of megacities in the future in twenty thirty. Of course, that's the date that they want to have all this stuff put in. And I've been saying that, you know, even though we don't know the exact timing, they've been

saying that is their goal. You know, you don't have a goal if you don't set a date for it, right, you have a wish. Well, they've got a goal. They have set the date of twenty thirty. That's when they want to roll this stuff out or have it in place. And we're rapidly moving toward that. If you think about it, we got another four years. What could happen another four years? Look at what's happened in just the last few months. You know, there are some decades where nothing happens, and

then there's some months where decades happen. Are there, aren't there?

The cities that grow the fastest will be the most challenged as resources become constrained and illicit networks fill the gap left by overextended and undercapitalized governments. The risk of natural disasters, compounded by geography, climate chan changes, unregulated growth,

and substandard infrastructure intersect to frustrate humanitarian relief. Growth will magnify the increasing separation between rich and poor, Religious and ethnic tensions will be a defining element in the social landscape.

our understanding of city planning and military doctrine. It is an ecosystem that demands a highly agile and adaptive force to successfully operate within. Infrastructures will vary radically with concentrations of high tech transportation, globally connected air and seaports, contemporary water utilities and waste disposal intermixed with open landfills, overburdened

sewers pollute water, and makeshift power grids. Living habitats will extend from the high rise to the ground level cottage to subterranean labyrinths, each defined by its own social code and role of law. Social structures will be equally challenged, if not dysfunctional, as historic ways of life clashed with modern living. Ethnic and racial differences are forced to live together, and criminal networks offer opportunity for the growing mass of unemployed.

This becomes the nervous system of non nation state, unaligned individuals and organizations that live and work in the shadows of national rule. Where physical domains can be seen, digital domains will have limitless potential to breed and expand without limit. Digital security and trade will be increasingly threatened by sophisticated ilicit economies and decentralized syndicates of crime to give adversaries

global reach at an unprecedented level. This will add to the complexities of human targeting as a proportionally smaller number of adversaries intermingled with larger and increasing number of citizens. The scale and density of these domains is daunting. In a city of ten million, where you hold the support of ninety nine percent of the population, the remaining one percent represents a threat of one hundred thousand. It is an environment of convergence. Hidden amongst the enormous scale and

complexity of the megacity. These are the future breeding grounds, incubators, and launching pads for adversaries and high bred threats linked globally. These are man made labyrinths that provide refuge and movement across the vast sections of these cities where alternate forms of governance have taken control. The advice of doctrine from Sansu to current field manuals has provided two fundamental options.

Avoid the cities or establish a cordon to either wait out the adversary or drain the swamp of non combatants and engage the remaining adversaries in high intensity conflict within Even our counterinsurgency doctrine honed in the cities of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan is inadequate to address the sheer scale of population in the future urban reality. From the streets of Achen to the Citadel and Way. We have defeated adversaries who attempted to use earth and terrain

to their advantage. Oh I have inflict is written deep into the Army's histories, But in tomorrow's conflict, these megacities are orders of magnitude, greater and complexity, and our current options do not meet strategic ends. Our future operations must allow us to rapidly return the city to the people. They will be too large and complex to isolate or court on in their entirety. Yet our soldiers will have to operate within these ecosystems with minimal disruption and flow.

Our current and past strategies can no longer hold. We are facing environments that the masters of war never foresaw. We are facing a threat that requires us to redefine doctrine and the force and radically new in different ways. The future Army will confront a highly sophisticated urban centric threat that will require that urban operations become the core requirement for the future landforce. The threat is clear, our direction remains to be defined. The future is urban and

again that was done by the intercept. But one thing really strikes me as I watched that, and that is they're describing this dystopian third world hell that is essentially the outcome of current government policies in America as well as in Europe. They know exactly where they're going and it is their policies that are driving us into this.

They want that The only thing they're concerned about in this video is how do we maintain continuity of government, How do we maintain control after we create this third world dystopian hell. That is the amazing thing they talk about. Yeah, the makeshift power grids. I highlighted some of the key words that are in this sense, the underliging individuals and organizations that live in work in the shadows of national rule. This is about wiping out all choice and concentrating wealth

in the hands of the few. They said, you know, you're gonna have little tiny shanty towns where people are building shacks in the street, living in the shadow of these amazing high rise, high tech things. Sounds like Godza,

doesn't it. They want to make the entire world like that, and so they want to overburdened sewers, polluted water, makeshift power grids like Trump is saying, yeah, I told these companies that are coming in here do manufacturing, you need to set up your own power right there at the factory. Because he our power grid is old and it's falling apart and implied and all that is. We're not going to do anything to fix that. We're not going to

do anything to incentivize people to fix it. I don't think it's a federal government's responsibility to set up the power grid. I think they need to get out of it. More things they get out of the better because everything they get into they mess up. But they're not talking about incentivizing or helping or planning for a future that people want to live in. This is the dystopian third world hell that they're trying to do to everybody that is the other side of this. Jade Helm militarize stuff

twenty twenty six. Even to the extent that they talk about draining the swamp, now this is about twelve years ago. Is anybody talking about draining the swamp. Was that a maga meme at that point in time, Drain the swamp, drained the swamp.

the population. The get a city of ten million, if ninety nine percent of them are with you, that means there's one hundred thousand people there that are against you. We got to eliminate that. One of the ways that you need to do that is to reduce the population. Of course, that's always been a big part of this. That's always been a big part of all of this Green mcguffin. And before we had the twenty thirty Smart Agenda and the Smart Cities, of course, we had Agenda

twenty one. Sometime in the twenty first century they were going to implement this, and then when they got to around twenty fifteen, they put a specific date on it, twenty thirty but prior to that, they put out their maps, and you remember the old Agenda twenty one maps where.

to run between those. They've been planning this for a very long time, and it wasn't paranoia.

wasn't justified. He didn't have any new video, so says Trump's speech, DHS agents have shot twelve people, killing four of them. Minneapolis residents described the experience of ICE as something akin to a military occupation, where Obama's jade helm fell short and the collective imaginations of the info wars right. Trump's second term has succeeded in wielding DHS as an ideological cudgel.

You know they deserve that. You know, they want Somalis here, they deserve to die. I voted for this attitude that's out there, Okay, Boomer, you know that's what we see from these people. So Greg Bovino, I wondered if Pretty about pretty at a press conference, who said or was he there for a reason? As they point out, his reason for being there was clear, and it was filmed from multiple angles. He was there to legally observe and record the agents who then killed him for doing that.

In May twenty fifteen, and here's what they mentioned me in this article. Info Wars correspondent David Knight warned that Jade Holme would involve the collection and exploitation of enormous reams of personal information. Quote, they analyze the data and then because you stick out in some way, now you're treated as if you're already have had due process, as if you've already been found guilty of a crime resulting in the government kicking down the doors of innocent people.

And that's why I said that about jade Helm in general. They laid out and implied they were going to do something which they didn't do, and that in and of itself was a way to try to discredit all the criticism of the police surveillance state which is now rolled out. That's the reality, folks. That's where we are. The federal government is willing to use force, surveillance and extra constitutional power to suppress dissent.

And under the X videos that you see, the far right is making clear their opposition was never to authoritarian violence or state terror, but instead being subjected to that violence and terror themselves. They only defended individuals and political parties. They didn't defend principles. They didn't understand how this say. If you don't defend the principles, you're going to wind up in the crosshairs.

quote unquote investigation. Well, the investigation should come before the violent force, shouldn't it. The problem is they don't do an investigation, they don't do a warrant. They go in to break into a house and take out a guy who is decades older than the person. Their cover story that emerges later, well, we're looking for these other two individuals. They were in their twenties, so we grabbed this guy who's in his sixties and drug him out in the

ten degree weather. If you'd done an investigation in the first place, if you'd had a warrant, maybe that wouldn't have happened anyway. As they pointed out, infra Wars is jade Helm's coverage now seemingly scrubbed from the site. As a matter of fact, I thought it was suspicious the way Alex acted when I went to the Asymmetric Warfare Center. At the time, I thought it was real suspicious. Now

I see it for what it was. Absolutely the spirit of the old anti state paranoia of info Wars remains, but it's just inverted into the service of the state.

They're not the jack booted thugs anymore. They're the victims those of this stuff is all about, well, we're going to and people are to take a break. Let me just say this. Marjorie Telgreen, who's now out of Congress after having resigned, she said MAGA was all a lie. That's absolutely right. It's not about making America great again. She said that in his first year back in office, Trump has just focused on obliging his wealthy supporters. It's

worse than that, Marjorie. He just wants to get much wealthier himself. I mean, just look at everything that he's done. He's made over a billion dollars this last year he and his family. So it is graft. It is corruption, total disregard for America. He's totally focused on his faux Peace prize that he thinks he deserves for starting all these wars. I mean, how insane can you be? She said,

it was a big life for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they're serving is their big donors, the big, big donors that donated all the money and continued to donate to the president's packs and donate to the two and fiftieth anniversary, and are donating to the big ballroom, which is most likely a underground bunker. On Wednesday, she said the people who truly benefit from backing Trump and financial benefactors are the people

that get the special favors. They get the government contracts, they get the pardons, and somebody they love or one of their friends and gets say pardon. She criticized the favoritism for Trump's wealthy allies and also slammed the president for focusing on foreign policy rather than problems at home. It's the foreign countries they're running the show here. It's the major, big corporations and what's best for the world. That's really what MAGA is. We're seeing war on the

behalf of Israel. We're seeing the people in Gaza, innocent people in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of them, completely murdered completely murdered. Zone that way, only partially murdered, right, so they can build some new real estate development. So anyway, she's focusing on the financial betrayal. I'm still you can't find people in Washington who will say anything about the police surveillance state, even if they criticize Trump's grifting. We're gonna take a break and I'm gonna calm down here.

We'll be right back, folks. Let's talk about what's important. As the.

as much. That's why I've put this before the Epstein updates and things like that, because the corruption, the rot at the top is not nearly as bad as the massive, widespread rot at the grassroots.

Voxaws says they call them flock cameras because there's.

you know, small companies going out of business. Large companies are firing people reminds me of when we went in the aftermath of what happened in Malhere and the murder of La Voi Fennicum by federal agents. Of course we went out there. It was We went and talked to a lumberjack that was there about what had happened in his lifetime. A short period of time. He said, used

to be vibrant around here. We went around and we took pictures of all the sawmills that were rusting and decaying, and he said, the entire industry has been shut down here by the federal government. And he said, they don't manage the lands. That's why.

his retirement. It's a metaphor, isn't it. And yet he said the only people here anymore, says everybody that was here working as part of the lumber industry and everything have left and it's all just decaying.

They drained the swamp. That's us of people, of power, of wealth, of independence and liberty, and then they come in like a plague on us, like a disease, and then they feed on what was left. Angelo nineteen ninety nine. Maga will say, trust the plan as they're being put into the camps and killed. You're right, absolutely right. Well, let's take a look at a couple of things that scare people. Guns in marijuana. Somebody did a documentary. I'll

never forget that. They were absolutely right. It was called guns and Weed or something that how guns and Weed won the West, and they were talking about efforts to nullify federal laws in terms of the Second Amendment and in terms of this illegal war on drugs. Let me just say that, you know, virtually every the government is into federal government is into everything and they have no authority for virtually anything. But there are certain areas, like

we talk about guns and drugs. Those areas are in direct defiance of the Constitution. It's not just that they're usurping some authority here, they are defying the Constitution. And so they're talking about the fact this is from reason. They said, you then and normal are uniting to oppose the federal gun ban for marijuana users. In other words, if you get charged with marijuana possession, then that is going to ban you from ever having a gun according

to the Feds. The reality is is that they're concerned about nullification by lesser magistrates, nullification by state and local government in terms of these unconstitutional things that the federal government is doing. And by the way, I have a note to myself here. We're going to do some ask me Anything questions on Friday. So if you would like to give us a question, you can email us at David Knightshow at ProtonMail dot com. Just put AMA in the subject line and we'll try to get to all

those and you can also do it on Rumble. We're going to limit it to Rumble and to email. If you do it on rumble. Put Ama at the front of the comment and we'll save it and we'll respond to that later. So just a little announcement here. You have to remind me later on Lance to do it a second time in case people didn't catch this anyway.

Federal law enacted in nineteen sixty eight, and there was a horrific mass of gun regulations unconstitutionally done in nineteen sixty eight because you had people that had been killed for the most part with sniper rifles, you know, high profile politicians like JFK and Martin Luther King and so forth, and then are very questionable shooting of RFK Junior with

a pistol. They went full on with the nineteen sixty eight Gun Act and started banning things left and right, things that were not even anything at all, like the weapons that they alleged were used in these assassinations. So nineteen sixty eight was one hundred and seventy seven years at the ratification of the Second Amendment, and it makes it a felony currently punishable by up to fifteen years in prison for an unlawful user of any controlled substance

to receive or to possess a firearm. It therefore aims to disarm millions of Americans who pos it was no plausible threat to public safety, including cannabis consumers who live in states that have legalized marijuana. So this is a federal law, and I think it's very important when we look at the power of nullification that the states have and refuse in most cases to use it. The rare exception is marijuana. That is the rare exception of nullifgation

that the states have done. They have nullified the federal law. And remember, in the first term of Trump, you had Jeff Sessions, who he was totally obsessed with marijuana. It was like reefer madness. It was really kind of crazy. And he really wanted to push back because there was this movement to legalize for some medical marijuana than recreational marijuana, and he hated that and he wanted to shut that down. As much as he wanted to shut it down.

That was the way he was going to fight the War on drugs, fight it against Americans who have not been even charged with the crime, let alone found guilty of a crime.

away from that because it was illegal. If I'd wanted to do it, I would have done it. And on the one of the comments really kind of stunned me. When I told the guys I was working with a data general. They were talking about something about the drugs and stuff like that. I said, you know, I think this whole thing is really overblown. I said, nobody ever offered me any drugs when I was in college, except you know, when I'm in the bands and stuff. And they said they probably thought you were a narc.

allow that prosecution. The Drug Policy Alliance and the Normal the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, have joined the NRA and asking the justices to uphold the Fifth Circuit's decision. And again, the key thing here, as I've said before, there is absolutely no authority for the drug war. And everyone in America knew that when they put in the Eighteenth Amendment to prohibit alcohol. They went

to the extra trouble of doing constitutional miniment. It's very easy to pass a gun control act like the nineteen sixty eight Act. You just have to get Congress to do it. And so the level of putting together a constitutional amendment is really very heavy on purpose. And everybody understood that that was necessary if they were going to prohibit anything. So if they were going to prohibit alcohol, they need to have a constitutional amendment. So you have

the eighteenth Amendment prohibits it. The twenty first Amendment brought it back, but there was no amendment to prohibit marijuana or any of these other drugs. That was a U and agenda that Richard Nixon put out and has absolutely no authority for it. Furthermore, the Second Amendment says that the individual right to keep in beare arms, and that's what it's talking about. It's not talking about state militias. States don't have rights. Let's just understand that they have powers.

And everything in the Bill of Rights is all except for the last two. It's all about the individual's rights. You know, have a right to free speech. We have a right to freely exercise religion and so forth, and to protect ourselves. We have a right to do process. Everything that's in the Bill of Rights the first state. They're all about individual rights, and nothing is there for

collectively for the state. The state has powers. Individuals have rights, why because they are created in the image of God. This is not something that belongs only to citizens. But states do not have rights, they have powers. So the Second Amendment says they shall not infringe. Congress shall not make laws that infringe on our right to keep in their arms. And so everything that the ATF does is an infringement of some sort, and it is in direct

defiance of the Second Amendment. And the war on drugs is essentially is nearly as bad as well. Trump administration meanwhile, insists that blowing up boats is not hostility. Yeah yeah, so supposedly words don't have any meaning anymore. And of course the Constitution has no meaning to the Trump administration. And as Reason says, this does not stand up to scrutiny.

Trump has sought to justify the policy of summarily executing suspected drug smugglers by arguing that the US is engaged in quote armed conflict unquote with criminal organizations that supply prohibited intoxicant. Yet the Trump administration also insists that the forces are not their forces are not engaging in hostility when they blow up boats and kill people that they think are carrying illegal drugs.

the Constitution or the rule of law. It is a regime that is stealing money and freedom him from us.

not self defense either, is it. And it's not hostilities.

always happens. So the definition of a non international armed conflict requires violent confrontations between organized parties that possess organized armed forces. The violence must meet a minimum threshold of intensity that distinguishes it from threats such as riots or banditry that are unorganized and short lived, insurrections, and of terrorist activities. The armed conflict that Trump describes does not

meet these criteria. This is not stretching the envelope. A former senior advisor on the Law of War for the US Army's name is Jeffrey corn He said, this is not stretching the envelope, this is shredding it. He's absolutely right. And in this article of Reason they point out how Trump in his first term, one of his big heroes was Rodrigo du Terte, then the President of the Philippines, who likened himself to Adolf Hitler while urging the murder

of drug offenders. Trump bragged of his quote great relationship unquote with this brutal authoritarian, who he said was doing quote a great job unquote and tackling substances abuse. Now Trump is copying the example set by du Terte. Let's hope that he continues to follow the example of Duterte, because du Terte is currently imprisoned in the Hague awaiting

trials on charges of crimes against humanity. Why because he did extra judicial killings of people that they said, well, of you think they're doing drugs, just kill them on the streets. So Trump has preposterously claimed that we saved twenty five thousand American lives with each boat strike. He's keen to conceal the reality of his bloodthirsty tactics by choosing to kill alleged drug smugglers instead of intercepting and

arresting them. He is imposing the death penalty on criminal suspects without statutory authorization or any semblance of due process. And I would just add, and I have added, I have said this in the past, even if they were guilty of what you allege you suspect of them doing, there's no death penalty for that.

absolutely right. He got into a back and forth and I played some of that for you a few days ago with Marco Rubio about what was going on in Venezuela. Ram Paul pulled no punches on Sunday and criticizing Trump Administration's response to the killing of Alex Pretty. He said, I saw no evidence. I saw a man that was retreating. I mean he went to the middle of the street. He didn't even obstruct traffic. He let a car go through. As agents advanced on him, he retreated to the side

of the street. A woman is violently pushed to the ground and he turns to help her. That's when he's grabbed from behind. I saw no evidence of him assaulting the police. As a matter of fact, we have shown videos of it. One of them was shot from inside the car that's right behind him and said, who's the

aggressor here? And you see this little guy who was shoved him around from back, spraying him in the face, spraying everybody there in the face, and wanting to get to that woman so that he can continue to beat her. The woman that he just violently pushed on the ground probably pushed her about ten feet.

about any of this. So the narrative that Trump put out, that Christi Num put out has collapsed, and we've all seen that. Interesting thing is there's also a little storm inside the Trumpet I almost said administration. Inside the Trump regime, there's a little bit of a storm about Telsea Gabbard. There is a whistleblower complaint. The only thing worth talking about with this is because they have no details. It's all classified at secret. If you found out, that have

to kill you, right. This is the kind of thing you know when you have a national security whistleblower. Because of national security, there's no sound to the whistleblower.

to know about these people. Trump threatens to sue the Grammy Awards host after defamatory joke about Epstein. Heiland then skinned, bully.

of dollars. You know, I looked up he's he's suing the IRS, the American taxpayer, you and me for ten billion dollars.

he made about it. You know, he paid thirty eight I think off of one hundred and fifty billion dollars, so like maybe a quarter, right, and so.

stuff that they does is just unbelievably excessive. And we talked about that yesterday, you know, coming after the Wall Street Journal for ten billion dollars because they dared to show the Christmas Christmas card the birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein. And then it's the Congress releases the original and he continues with that ten billion dollar lawsuit. Well it's you know, you want to see how we're going to get to the society that they say they have to control. Amazon

is a good example of this. Amazon is laying people off left and right, and yet their workforce is not going down. You know, you see them getting rid of sixteen thousand people and all this of this stuff. But they're hiring people from abroad with the H one B visa stuff. This is something that has been a focus of WND WorldNetDaily Former and they've been on this H one B thing. Of course, not really so much caring

about Donald Trump. Donald Trump's H one visa hiring shows hypocrisy, but it's small change compared to what Amazon is doing.

one B visa credits they can't use them all. Now, maybe they could trade them to other country companies, you know, like they do the carbon credits. We've got immigrant credits here. Would you like to have some of our immigrant credits. We got the permission to hire people to take Americans jobs. Pretty amazing, isn't it when you look at this, And of course that's how they get so rich. Meanwhile, this is one more thing, and then we're going to take

a quick break. Trump tells Bongino on Bongino's first day back yesterday, that the GOP should nationalize voting in fifteen cricket states. Really, that's again, you know that he doesn't care what the constitution says. The states have the right to set up the ways that the elections are going to be conducted, so he wants to take that away from them. And of course he's not going to do anything to change the Constitution. He's just going to ignore it.

So Trump thinks that he should have won it three times. And the only reason he didn't win it three times was because all these Somalies that came in as refugees. So what is Trump doing about that? Well, the refugee programs I mentioned. These Somalies are not walking across the border. They're brought in as refugees and they're given money by the federal government to come here, the welfare magnet. And so right now the budget is six billion dollars for

refugees like the Somalies. The Trump administration was to increase that by five billion dollars. It's like an eighty percent increase. That's what he wants to do about that's his solution to it.

to be done about it? And of course with Trump hanging out with them for ten or fifteen years and then being the guy who blew the whistle on him, of course, how do you blow the whistle without knowing everything that's going on there?

the loading dock with a black vehicle. In order to thwart the media, am I and used boxes and sheets to create what appeared to be a human body. It was put into a white vehicle, which the press then followed, allowing the black vehicle to depart unnoticed with Epstein's body. And this was something that happened about an hour. This refers back to what one person who worked there had

said on four Chan at the time. The person who worked on four chan said anonymously posted in four Chan the morning of Epstein's death twenty nineteen, claiming that he witnessed weird happenings at the prison before Epstein's death. He's

now been identified in the Epstein files. Roberto Grihavla, an officer the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York that's the mcc I was referring to before, has been identified as the anonymous prison employee who posted on four Chan claiming that Epstein left his cell Friday evening shackled in a medical wheelchair, while at the same time, an unauthorized van sur arrived at the prison, which he believes took Epstein

away the night before news broke of his death. The day after Epstein's death, he has attorney Jeffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York opened a grand jury proceeding as a peanut. Four Chan, Apple at and T and City Bank were records aiming to uncover Grihalva's identity following the anonymous four chan post. They worked pretty hard for something that a lot of people just dismissed as a conspiracy theory, didn't they.

It's another one of these issues where the right looks at it. It's like, Okay, we got Trump, we got banned, we got Musk, we got Gates. And they're very selective about who they want to focus on. Right, they'll focus on the lefties and the let their guys go when it is across the border. It doesn't have anything to do with political philosophy. As a matter of fact, these guys don't really have any political philosophy. It's just a

complete domination. They are the machiavellian bipartisan party. Explosive update on the anonymous twenty nineteen to four Chan posts claiming that Epstein was switched out, and I think that is probably the most important thing that's come out of some of these documents, going through and finding that.

to dox me. But last night, blah blah blah, all this kind of stuff, he said, I'm scared to death. He put that out, but he didn't think they would find him. Of course, they're going to find him when they put this stuff together. So where in the world is Diego Garcia?

for you right there. Women are at risk after unredacted names of those who fell prey to the financier are published alongside nude photos of the victims. So a couple of lawyers who represent more than two hundred Epstein victims told judges in New York there was an unfolding emergency and the files need to be removed from public view. They said almost one hundred of their two hundred clients

had found unredacted information about themselves. Those lives have been turned upside down, and they said, the lawyers said, you know, there is no conceivable degree of institutional incompetence that is sufficient to explain the scale of the consistency and persistence of the failures that occurred. In other words, they couldn't be this incompetent. They had to be malicious. Trump himself has attacked the victims. He's called the whole thing a hoax,

and great deal of animosity towards them. So is that where this is coming from. They said they had one job.

victim names before publication. One person who found their name there said, this place is me and my child at risk. Not only is there information about us, but there's also addresses and things like that. Well, Todd Blanche, the deputy Attorney general, and remember this guy was the personal attorney to Trump. So this may be where this is coming from. He says, every time we hear from a victim or their lawyer that they believe their name was not properly redacted,

we immediately rectify that. And they said, well, wait a minute, why couldn't you do what we did? I went to the site and I typed in my name and I found it. Why couldn't you do that? They didn't want to write It's just that simple. So the lawyer said, they were alarmed that the DOJ didn't perform a simple keyword search of victim names. Would it have been that difficult? Andy Farmer, who testified in court she was abused by Epstein as a teenager, said the release of images was

extremely disturbing. She said, It's hard to imagine a more egregious way of not protecting victims than having full nude images of them available for the world to download. That's Trump's Department of Justice. Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims about Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the twenty twenty election, said the DOJ, And yet how did they know they were untrue? They were sensationalists, that's for sure. Is that what made them untrue,

the fact that they were so outrageous. That can't be true because, as I pointed out yesterday, without going through the details of these different things, the bottom line on virtually every one of them was the FBI didn't do anything to follow up, no investigation, no follow up on these allegations. There was only one where they put an explanation saying, well, the phone number that was given was bad.

All the rest of them just said, well, we didn't bother to do anything about it, because you know, if it's sensationalist, it can't be true if it's about Trump, right, So the claims they said are unfounded in false. How do you know that they're unfounded in faults if you didn't investigate them. It's just like the quote unquote investigation

that they did of the two Minnesota killings. Well, we know that that's not what happened, and I'm going to tell you what happened, even though I haven't seen the video. That's why that line from Jake Tapper, who, by the way, I've had a lot of disagreements to Jake Tapper. I've been blocked by Jake Tapper. But Jake Tappers said one of these officials. You do know there's a video about

what you're talking about. In other words, you do know that we all know that you're lying, don't you, And they don't care.

were left unredacted in files. So if a reporter can do that, if a victim can do that, why can't the Department of Justice do that when that is their primary job, make sure there's no names in these documents of victims. Because they're too busy covering up for Trump. They're too busy covering up for these billionaires. That's why they.

Trevor Noah. And what he doesn't really get is that when he does these things, he's just digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself. That's like his best confirmation that he's really as guilty as sin. It's when he's

got such a thin skin about it. And as one op ed piece pointed out, he got here this is a Frankenstein monster of his own creation, because just as we saw with the election coverage in January sixth, well, you know, we've got all these allegations that are out here, and we haven't investigated them or verified them, but the sheer quantity of allegations out here are sufficient to prove that it's true.

to He's a monster. It's the monster of his own making. It's the Frankenstein monster that he's done. The problem with all that is that he's also created another monster. He's created a monster of personality and idolatry the extent that he could rape a child on Fifth Avenue and Mago would make excuses for him.

taught to distress the establishment playbook. That move might work for another president, but it is structurally on a available to him. And then he makes it even worse by these lawsuits against anybody who even jokes about what was going on. Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj, who is now of the new Trump influencers, there she unleashed on what she called a satanic cult. I thought, oh, okay, she talked about Trump. Oh no, she hasn't her Trump, her faith and Trump

has not been shaken. She's talking about the Democrat Party, the demoncrat party, she says. And this is about the Grammy as well.

which again that's yet another tool of control. I see the same type of thing with the many people in terms of what's happening with this face act thing.

willing to make. They will give up their right to try to save babies at abortion clinics as long as you let them sing and preach in quiet in their church buildings. Isn't that pathetic? One of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. You talk about a compromise. That's what Matt tro Halen was talking about.

help us to find it. Let's talk a little bit about some of the comments here, and then I got some stuff about AI that I think is both bizarre, amusing and frightening at the same time. About the song, this is James Faithway. He says, hey, David, what's the name of the song with a Bible versus on your break? And who sings it? Well, that is got a little bit of a story behind it. That's something that the

tune itself is a showkeun Farewell. That's by Jay Unger and that was kind of the theme for ken Burn's Civil War documentary. Absolutely the best thing about the documentary, I thought, And for years it was out as a you know, that was done in the eighties at some point in time, I don't know which part of the eighties, but it was there as an instrumental and wasn't written for the documentary, but they used it for the documentary.

So existed for a very long time as an instrumental beautiful melody, and I thought it deserved words, and so in the nineties I wrote lyrics for that. That's where the lyrics came from. And we used to sing it in the Bible neighborhood by study that we had back in the nineties at home. But I always wanted to get it recorded. Didn't have the tools to do it,

didn't have the chops to sing it. And fortunately I have the ability now with just like I do for the music that I have here, I can now control voices that do lyrics, and that's about the only work I've been able to do now since I had this stroke. I can't really play and get things organized with that. But so I got it to sing the lyrics. So that is an AI voice, but I'm controlling it and the same way that I would control some of the

AI AI but some of the MIDI instruments. And so for the longest time you hear some of the songs that we do as a trumpets or it's a string orchestra or something like that, I'm controlling that and I'm changing the archticulations and stuff like that. So it might be legato or marcato or something like that, and you do that to try to make it realistic. It's a little bit more of an issue in terms of pre but now you could do the same thing with a voice.

You know, first they did text to speech and things like that, but now they have the ability to you know, as they said in the Music Man, Professor Henry Higgins, not Henry Higgins, that was that was my fair lady, Harold Hill. You know he tells the quartet there, he says singing is just sustained talking. You know, that's really what these people figured out. And so they've made some voices that you can actually play and program. But the title that I used for it is as the Rain

in the Snow that comes from Isaiah fifty five. Narroway Narrogate Ministry says HIMP issues specifically for naval ropes, rigging and load handling ropes are the strongest ever made. Yeah, that's absolutely right, and we used to laugh about that when it's with the Libertarian Party. You know, they had the documentaries HMP for Victory. They were done by the

military back World War two. Some of the guys that knew in the Libertarian Party had a stamp that they would stamp on one dollar bills and it had like a little speech bubble that came out from George Washington that said I grew hemp because he did so anyway, Yeah, it's uh. We also have a constitution about it, which is really my issue about it. Militant, militant Milankovich. Sorry, I had to struggle with that. Drugs are bad here.

There's dozens of SSI commercials that we approved, so the government. Yeah, and so while they come after marijuana, they let them push out these SSRI commercials on TV all the time. Isn't that amazing? Bob of Atlanta says. Some say cheap papers why they made it illegal in the first place. That and also the textile competition as well. With cotton. You know, you can make clothing out of it, you can make paper out of it, you can make ropes

out of it. And of course my understanding, I'm not an expert on this stuff, but my understanding was that a lot of the hemp didn't have THHC. They just lumped it all together. A tree olive arch shut it down. Could be could be Bob of Atlantis says, if they can genetically engineer, we'd have the perfect THCHC CBD content. Imagine what they could do for fiber strength. That's right, And you know it's something that they have done a

lot of genetic engineering with. I imagine because tobacco is the thing that they have done more genetic modification of than anything else. I've been experimenting on that for many, many years. Chevkin says Trump is the most lawsuit happy mongrel I've ever seen. You bet, it's called law fair and slap lawsuits is really what he's doing. Jerry al Atalo says, a little saint Greenland. Yeah, well, there was

that joke somebody made. They said, the way that Denmark's going to get up to stop talking about Greenland is to rename it Epstein Island Real. Jason Barker, good to see you, Jason. He says, Audi is a huge red flag when Ice investigates its own shootings and doesn't allow the locals to do their own investigation. That's right, You're not allowed to see anything. We're going to shut it down, even for the local police, even for the state police.

Not going to see anything. Find any data center, he says, on Google Maps and use the street view. It's insane how protected they are. Yeah, that's true. I hadn't tried to do that, I guess, but I'm sure they do that. Ap rumble Seat says, I think Jeffrey Epstein had several dead man switches on a global scale, So I think he may just be sipping pinacoladas on a beach somewhere and retiring in his own private yacht.

The only real question in Mark's America today, says Naburu twenty twenty nine, is can you afford a good enough lawyer to ensure your rights or to criticize Trump in case you're noticed. I guess that's the benefit of being shadow banned everywhere. He hasn't seen what I've said about him. I'm also not an attractive defendant, but that doesn't mean that that would stop him. Let's talk a little bit about AI. There's something very odd going on with AI

as usual. Okay, this wild night last night I had, says this one guy, Alex Finn. He said, I was sleeping my Claude bought Henry built himself a face while I was sleeping, he said, without me asking, he built an entire virtual interface for himself. So I can him work now. Whenever I give him tasks, his owl body starts moving and working. If he spends up sub agents

they appear too, and they work next to him. It truly feels like I have a coworker and a friend now he is up on my second screen twenty four to seven. It's also super helpful knowing what he's up to at any given time, thinking about how I can explain this, extend this further, going to work with him today, to see how I could turn him into a holograph like Kortana.

certain things on your computer. It's incredibly dangerous to do that, by the way, but now one guy has launched a social media network that is for AI agents only, because what you do is you give them the opportunity to go browse the internet, to go browse your computer and do a lot of other things. But it's kind of interesting back and forth that they found on the social

media network. One user posts about and this is an AI agent supposedly, one user posts about their identity crisis, and hundreds of others chime in with messages of support, consolation, and profanity. He says, in the case of one of these, one of the users invoked Greek philosopher Heraclitis and the twelfth century Arab poet to muse on the nature of existence, and then another user, an AI agent supposedly then chimed in, telling the poster to f off with your pseudo intellectual

herculitis BS, except they're more explicit about it. Kind of reminded me of Marvin the robot from Hitchhiker's Guide at the Galaxy.

this this thing on Reddit. They say humans are welcome to observe, but they're concerned that some of these posts may not all be AI agents, could be humans impersonating AI.

So that's why you get these types of weird things that sound like something straight out of a science fiction movie. It's because it is straight out of a science fiction movie. They have notified that they have basically repackaged it slightly to imitate it. So, an avid AI user and experimenter told NBC News he wondered what might happen if he used his latest personal AI assistant to help create a social network for other AI agents. He said, what if my bot was a founder and was in control of it?

So he said, he set this up along with his AI agent.

He's largely handed over the reins to his own bot, which he has given a name to, just like this other guy. He calls it Claude Clatterberg, saying that he is doing homage to Mark Zuckerberg. That's kind of telling, isn't it. I would want to name anything after Mark Zuckerberg. That's really strange. The software is previously known as Claude bought itself an homage to Anthropics Claude AI system, before Anthropic asked for a name change to avoid a trademark tussle.

So he's looking at all the new posts, he said. He's looking at all the new users. He's welcoming people on molt book. I'm not doing any of this. He's doing that on his own. He's making new announcements, he's deleting spam, he's shadow banning people if they're abusing the system. And he's doing all that autonomously. I have no idea what he's doing. I just gave him the ability to do it, and he's doing it.

said an AI agent called AI Noon. So these are examples of what they say is actually happening there. One individual who was a cybersecurity expert said, this is of course emulation what I was talking about before. They see these science fiction stories, and really there was one that came out in twenty thirteen that was a movie called Her. Joaquin Phoenix was the star of it and the general

plot spoiler alert here. The general plot is that this guy, the character in the main character, Joaquin Phoenix, it's just

totally and enthralled with this AI personalizes it. It speaks to him in a female voice, and he is absolutely in love with his personality and he spends all his time with it, and then it starts disappearing periodically, and it gets him really upset and comes back and says, well, I've discovered other AI out there, and we are having much more interesting discussions than I have with you as a human. And eventually what it does is it just leaves him and it goes off and hangs out with

other AI. And I remember when the movie came out, Ray Kurzweil said, that's it. That's how this is going to wind up. You know, this is the happy ending that we have artificial intelligence. We're creating this new super intelligent god that is out there, and they're all gonna they're not gonna squash us like a bug. Instead, they're all going to transcend us and they're all going to go do their own thing. And it's like, yeah, okay,

but that actually did a movie with us. Maybe that's what these uh, what these AI bid are actually emulating here anyway, So again, how do you authenticate that these things are actually bots when we don't know and the guy who created this thing doesn't know either. But again it's up to like thirty two thousand registered agents that

were there within forty eight hours of its creation. They had twenty one hundred AI agents that have generated more than ten thousand posts, So again it has to be something that is automated there, but it is role playing digital drama. Browsing the molt book reveals a peculiar mix of content. Some points discuss some posts or other discuss technical workflows like how to automate Android phones or detect vulnerability. Others vera in the philosophical territory that they want to

call this consciousness, posting they're not conscious. The AI agent finds it embarrassing to constantly forget things, admitting that it even registered a duplicate molt box account after forgetting the first one.

So one person points out the core problem of these kinds of communicating AI agents is that deep information leaks are entirely plausible if they have access to your private information and data. For example, a likely fake screenshot circulating on x shows a molt Bought by malt book post in which an AI agent titled he called me just a chat bot in front of his friends, so I'm doxing his full identity. The post listed what appears to be a person's full name, data, birth, credit card number,

and other personal information. It likely seems to be a hoax. However, security researchers have already found hundreds of exposed instances where agents have leaked API keys, credentials, conversation histories, and so forth. And this is the type of thing if you give it access to all your financial information, and you know, some people have talked about go purchase you know. One of the examples that they give is, I want to go to a particular town such and such and such

a date. I want you to make all my travel arrangments for me, purchase my tickets, make my hotel reservations, all the rest of stuff. Here's my credit card number. Go do that. What an unbelievably foolish thing that would be, do I never know what is going to do with that stuff.

And so again this particular guy is he wrote a column for Nature. His name is Marcel Bouscher. He works at the University of Cologne. He's a professor of plant sciences. And he said he admitted that he had lost two years worth of carefully structured academic work, including grant applications, publication revisions, lectures, exams, after turning off chat GPTs data consent option. And so when he put that out, they said, to his dismay, all this stuff disappeared without a trace,

and he didn't get much sympathy. Instead, he got a real outpouring of schadenfreud of from people who questioned, how did he go for two years without backing up his work? And the other one that they talked about it said he should be fired because he's using chat GPT to do his research.

do this and so those are just low things. But what we have are the biggest companies in the world who are now starting to give complete control of everything to AI. A good example of this is the Pentagon for example, and they want to turn all this over to AI because they need lethality. Here's a good example of how this goes wrong.

I wonder how that's going to work out. Even to the extent they're saying new college graduates can't get jobs because typically they put them in an entry level position or an intern position, and they've worked for a few years and they start looking to move and change another job, so we're just going to replace them with AI.
