About this episode
After being in office for less than a month, Trump has already done a lot of good … but there are definite warning signs that we should not ignore.

And Trump’s recent announcements about his plans for Gaza are a warning that things could get really ugly for us, if we’re not careful. I hope not, but history does not encourage optimism here.In this episode, I reference Neoliberal Feudalism’s latest post about The Paradox of Zionism Wrapped Inside White Nationalism. Although I would certainly urge caution about impugning anyone’s motives — people can be sincere AND well-intentioned AND mistaken for a variety of reasons, and this is very different than being a paid shill or consciously acting as a COINTELPRO agent — nevertheless, when it comes to the bigger picture of how an incoming PsyOp appears to be shaping up, I believe these alarm bells need to be ru
