About this episode
A couple of recent events may be harbingers of what’s to come: Daniel Penny got acquitted, and Bashar Al Assad got regime-changed. In other words, we’re seeing culture-war victories domestically and NeoCon-artist shenanigans internationally. Some on the dissident Right have pointed to these events as confirmation of their one theory to explain them all: that Zionists completely control the incoming Trump Administration, and that they “allowed” Trump to win election in order to get buy-in from straight white men in preparation for another pointlessly destructive Middle-East war. With this in mind, they conclude that you should be blackpilled about America’s future and about everything else. I disagree.Obviously, I don’t deny the importance of foreign policy or the dangers of the Zionist lobby. No, you’re not imagining things. Yes, Israel really does have inordinate control over America’s government and public officials. As I’ve said before, if we regular Americans had even half as much influence over our own elected officials as the Zelensky regime (Ukraine) or the Netenyahu regime (Israel) so clearly does, our country would be radically different. Instead, we are subjects of a puppet empire, and our American officials are just franchise managers beholden to hidden powers operating above the level of the nation state. That said, even franchise managers can make a difference in matters of critical importance.Daniel Penny got acquitted. Some are heralding this verdict as the “end of the BLM era.” Although Kyle Rittenhouse got similarly acquitted during the height of the BLM era, I get their point. The regime could have done a lot more to ensure more public pressure on the jury to deliver a guilty verdict (by allowing details about jurors to be leaked to the media and by allowing credible threats to be made against the jurors and their families and neighborhoods). The regime could have called up its street communists from BLM and Antifa after the verdict was announced, just like it could have engineered an outburst of violent protests after the election. There has been a palpable shift in the zeitgeist. The high water mark of BLM and Antifa is a fading memory, and the cultural currents are flowing rapidly in the opposite direction.Meanwhile, Bashar Al Assad got regime-changed in Syria. Israel clearly wanted him gone, and the IDF has “defensively” invaded portions of Syria. The NeoCon-artist cabal clearly wanted Assad gone. Barack Obama — the psychopathic war criminal and Nobel Peace Prize winner — wanted Assad gone, and finally got rid of him during the waning days of the Biden Presidency (a.k.a., the de facto third Obama term). Trump isn’t even back in office yet, and the blackpillers on the Right are already pointing to Syria as proof that all the excitement over Trump’s second term is just unhinged h
