Hi Folks....Gabriel who doesn't actually write a SS even though he claims he does, has been kicked off for trolling. I don't have the energy for mean-spirited propagandists right now. Not very free speech of me, I know. But let's just call it an editing choice. LOL.
Scott speaks with such passion, it's hard not be drawn into the subject.
Many of his points got me thinking about the relationship between Israel and the United States. Israel seems to behave like a diminutive schoolyard bully that does whatever he wants, knowing that his big dumb friend will smack down anyone who fights back.
Israel has been called America's greatest ally and friend, but in light of some of the things Scott brought up, is that really true? What does the average American walking down Main street in small town USA gain? It looks like in exchange for sending his tax dollars overseas, the Boeing, Lockheed, and Northrup stock prices go up, and our figurative main streeter gets to watch planes fly into buildings in his cities.
What would happen if America were far more isolationist? If she kept her tax dollars on her own shores rather than send them overseas? I suspect Israel would be forced to behave far more diplomatically if she didn't have the backing of the biggest kid in the schoolyard.
Similarly, there would not be half a million dead Ukrainians if the neo-cons had kept to their own shores. I watched a video last night about Russia's invasion of Georgia, and the story was eerily similar: Country bordering Russia wants to join NATO, Russia says don't, they try anyway, Russia invades. Why the hell are American taxpayers paying the salaries of the salespeople for the military industrial complex?
The moral position for this conflict, just like the Ukrainian debacle, is completely obvious when someone examines facts outside of the mainstream propaganda. Anyone who takes the wrong side has chosen not to do the slightest modicum of research.
Even if nothing else, we'd be better off just pursuing an avenue to stop the wanton bloodshed.
I have been following the Diddy expose' and the actions of the elites in the music industry that mirror those in the movie and entertainment Industry, and that also fill much of our political class at every level of Government as well. May I say there is nothing of worth in any part of this world where these toxic, narcissitic, bored, and wealthy, Diva's and Don's thrive on twisted and deviant behaviour, and who overload on substances and alcohol . Now imagine how these same people are considered icons and people of substance by the public. Beauty is skin deep, and fleeting, and those who make a living off their physical attributes become narcissitic to their very core. They are self serving and care for nothing or no one as they are so wrapped up in themselves there is no room for competition or real relationships. Its a hollowed out sesspool of everything humanity should abhore and yet these same people are the ones leading us straight into hell.
I am admittedly “tabula raza” on so much on Middle East and Israel. This podcast was an excellent in depth discussion….it would be interesting for Trish to interview Dr. Gad Saad.
I do fear we are inching toward a much larger global conflict and it seems by design.
Global conflict involving troops from the West would allow our regime to go lockdown 2.0 and censor everything. We all know a significant part of the establishment really wants us peasants to shut up and to get in line.
I can totally see Trudeau playing Mr Dressup and wearing army fatigues or even designing his own DEI non gender specific “war”drobe🤔….with special camo socks😂
I have a shit ton of respect for all soldiers in the CAF that volunteer to serve…….they are under attack from within no wonder recruiting numbers are way down.
All that is happening in the world right now is freaking terrifying! It's difficult to enjoy life with all of this making so much background noise. Sad, depressing, maddening!!
Where are the politicians like JFK who believed in negotiating their way out of tight spots and were informed and well read and able to speak knowledgeably about any relevant topic.I really miss people like that who made us feel that we were in good hands.
Trish, may l also suggest you interview JON ELMER? He is a weekly contributor to the Electronic Intafadas Wednesday live podcast (on You Tube) plus he is based in Toronto and provides very good analysis and Go-Pro videos from the resistance forces.
You are wrong about Kennedy--he IS bad. Consider that he has had a year to observe what Israel has done to the civilians in Gaza (for about the fourth time), to observe what Israel is doing and has done in the West Bank, what they have done and continue to do to Syria. He has watched them attack Iran and now he is watching them murder hundreds of civilians in Lebanon, just as they did in 2006. Now Israel is bombing Yemen. All of the countries Israel has attacked are sovereign nations. Not one word of condemnation from Kennedy. Dozens of knowledgable people who were enthusiastic about his campaign walked away because he refused to be educated about the history of Israel, and remained criminally intractable in the face of genocide and apartheid. Our most respected experts in foreign policy and international law (John Quigley, Francis Boyle, John Mearsheimer) have stated unequivocally that what Israel is doing is bad for Israel, illegal, bad for the US, bad for the world, bad for the Middle East, is morally vacuous and repugnant, but still Kennedy comes up with lie after ridiculous ignorant lie. You say you don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. But what if the bathwater has turned the baby into a monster? Consider that Kennedy's position on Israel makes EVERY OTHER POSITION he has a lie. Can we believe he is informed? No. Can we believe he is moral? No. Can we believe he wants the best for the US? No. Can we believe he is humane and cares about people around the world? No. Can we believe he wants to stop constant ridiculous US foreign interventions? No. Can we believe he cares about children? No. Now he has aligned himself with Trump, who every day says more and more hysterical things about how he is going to destroy Iran (who has done nothing to either Israel or him), and how he is going to support Israel destroying Gaza utterly and support all of Israel's criminal attacks on sovereign nations. Can we actually believe these two monsters are going to achieve anything positive? You are being fantastically naive. Please don't think I have any illusions about Kamala or would vote for her. She and Walz are every bit as evil. But come on, Trish. At least have the decency to vote third party.
I feel your pain and have those thoughts myself from time to time. I don't know what the answer is. So many people I admire have clammed up or said absurd things. I don't have the right answer on this....just posing questions incubating in my broken heart. After C-19 mandates, a lot of influencers were looking around for the next big thing and how to stay monitized and relevant. Some of them seem to have learned that criticizing Israel is bad for business. I did, too but decided to keep doing what I believe to be correct.
I haven't listened to this podcast yet... The whole situation gets to be too overwhelming for me and I find i need to limit how much I can take in on any given day. Thank you for all you do!
I know your "thing" is C19 that probably killed tens of thousands, and the vaccine that no doubt killed more than they professed to save however, we are now on the verge of nuclear WWIIl in Russia/Ukrraine and Isreal/Palestinine (Lebanon, Iran, etc.).
I'm so sorry but, if Canadians are going to survive l think we need to put much more pressure on our politicians to work for us. The Americans l fear are a lost cause in terms of changing from the Dem/Rep two party system.
Trish. I sometimes think that you take an Black or White stance on topics based on what you know at the time. Most situations involving international affairs are much to complex to take a side which can be changed with the next “trusted” person with whom you speak or an article he or she writes. Your Life Lens is evolving by the second and it pays to understand that human consciousness is both rich and limited simultaneously.
Hi Gene....not quite. I operate on two levels. The more general level is that I hate human suffering and I hate propaganda that causes it even more. What is happening now in the ME was predictable based on how Israel conducted itself after October 7th. The non-stop hasbara and atrocity fables aimed at dehumanizing the enemy made it clear there would be war crimes. At the same time, even after all of the ugliness in Gaza, I feel sorry for the Israeli people who seem to be caught up in something driven by both history and the madness of Bibi and his dangerous minions. Rashidi Khalid, quoting Edward Said said on the podcast that the Palestinians are victims of victims. I agree. Having said that, I don't get everything right -- I am a spiritual person who wavers between knowing forgiveness is the best way and wanting to knock heads together to stop the killing. And I agree with your last line.....In all my years as a journo -- I have never encountered a time like the one we are living through. I am bewildered and shaken...as I'm sure you are, too. I'm just doing my best and hoping it helps some people.
Thanks for the sincere and thoughtful response Trish. Each of us has a very limited Life Lens with which were peer into a vast space shared by many others whose Life Lens I likewise very limited. Most of us desperately try to make sense of everything we experience, especially the scary stuff, and our attempts are rather pathetic given the enormity and complexity of the available psychic inputs. However, we soldier on and YOU, my dear, are a top notch soldier!
Amazing conversation. Whoa. There is so very much I did not know! Can't stay I took it all in 100%. But thanks for the interview/conversation. Super-enlightening.
When you said that Israel is committing "suicide" l could not agree more. The continuous lies (hasbarra) that are being fed to the west and the western medias willingness to repeat the Israeli script in order to brainwash us is sickening.
As a Canadian, l am becoming increasingly frustrated with our governments support of Israel. I had high hopes that Poilievre would be different from Trudeau/Singh, Harris/Trump (and RFK) and Sunak/Starmer in the UK.
Is every politician so afraid that their career will be prematurely terminated by opposing Israeli war crimes and genocide as happened to Jeremy Corbyn? Is every MSM reporter and news anchor frightened of losing their cushy job for telling the truth as happened to Mehdi Hassan?
Trish thank you for all your intelligent reporting. You truly give me hope. I will endeavour to spread the truth no matter how many times l am called an Anti-Semite, ignoramous, or a radicalized supporter of Arab/Islamic terrorism. If Bill-63 (hate speech and the new anti-semitism definition) passes the HOC on November 22nd l hope you'll all come visit me in prison. LOL
On the subject of jail, did you watch Julian Assange's address to PACE. The Q&A that followed and his comment that journalists have to stick together put a lump in my throat.
Trish; it's not over until it's over. If we can get past the current flirtation with nuclear war and China and the BRICS, SCO etc continue to make progress and the empire continues in flailing about in its death thros, we have good chance of a better world. Reading Michael Hudson "one of a handful of real economists" a few years ago, I thought it hyperbole when he said that the current ruling classes might choose to blow up the world rather than give up the extraction parasite Free lunch control of the world. I was wrong, but I still have hope. As to, RFK jr. and his support for the genocide along with the deafening silence or support from the others; the explanation is outside the Overton window. Basically the Jews are in control of the western world. AIPAC alone spend $24 M on a New York primary because the incumbent wasn't servile enough. They won, he lost! NO one will take them on and it's All "Perfectly Legal, a good book by the way"; sanctioned by the SCOTUS. The corruption is easier to see in the US because it's mostly legalized. As they say about the truth; it's like the flack you get when you're over the target. Or as Jimmy Dore likes to say. "You aren't punished or censored for lies, it's the truth that gets you in trouble"! I also read "Goliath" and it was so depressing that another book by Max, "The 51 Day War" is on My Kindle but I doubt I'll ever read it. Like Solzhenitsyns "Gulag Archipelago" was so depressing I didn't read any more from the author. J Edgar Hoover was doing the same kind of depravity and with the Hoi Poli of society, just like Epstein. Hoover blackmailed the politicians and the Mob blackmailed Hoover. The ruling classes are a really sick bunch.
Didn't US congressman Thomas Massie call out AIPAC a few months ago? And shortly thereafter, his wife died unexpectedly? I can't say that there is a connection between these events, but the timing does seem "coincidental".
Before l forget, there is a suberb book by Rashid Khalidi "The 100 years' War on Palestine". He writes from the Palestinian POV and the chapters are arranged chronologically starting in 1917.
And l'm sorry to bang on but my dad was in the RAF and the post war Berlin Airlift, and my mom was in the WRAF and part of the repatriation programme for the survivors of the concentration camps. They are both long gone but, l'm sure they are spinning in their urns.
The link above cut out but, trying again on Spotify 29/12/23. Funny, Douglas Murray landed on my "naughty" list long ago for reasons l won't go in to here. His "debate" with Medhi Hassan arguing Anti-Semitism is the same as Anti-Zionism was proved his ignorance.
It sounded like Scott Horton believes the government narrative about 911 attack on the world trade towers. I find it difficult to believe that someone as informed as Scott isn’t aware of Building 7 and the other trade towers that were destroyed but never hit by airplanes. There is a mountain of evidence to indicate that the government narrative about 911 is false. I wonder why Scott doesn’t question it? He comes across as anti establishment but he is doesn’t doubt the surface level narratives. There is a deeper sinister level to all of this.
highly recommend. I realize I have been bamboozled by propaganda over the years. But as I have also learned during the Covid Era, one has to keep moving forward and keep peeling back the layers to find the truth, no matter how hard, how heartbreaking or disillusioning.
I continue to take no sides in either the ME or Ukraine. All fighting must stop. Period. Full stop.
Hi Folks....Gabriel who doesn't actually write a SS even though he claims he does, has been kicked off for trolling. I don't have the energy for mean-spirited propagandists right now. Not very free speech of me, I know. But let's just call it an editing choice. LOL.

I'm with you ....what wasteland.
And almost everything they produce is crap

I 1/2 convinced the Trudeau would start a war just so he can cancel the upcoming election and try and lockdown Canada again🤔
It would be funny seeing Trudeau do a Mike Dukakis tank run with the helmet on backwards.
I can totally see Trudeau playing Mr Dressup and wearing army fatigues or even designing his own DEI non gender specific “war”drobe🤔….with special camo socks😂
yup except we have no military to speak of so would be another proxy war for the US
It would have to be a proxy war, the CAF is done to less than bare minimum of soldiers and ammo.
I wonder what Canada’s ESG targets are for global war and would it have to be DEI compliant?
Too many on medical leave for gender reassignment surgery 🤦🏻♀️
I get what you are saying. 😂
I have a shit ton of respect for all soldiers in the CAF that volunteer to serve…….they are under attack from within no wonder recruiting numbers are way down.
