If you listened to Scott Ritter who was a USMC intelligence officer who has worked in the USSR and Israel; we came very close to ALL being Dead or wishing we were last Saturday. A "back channel" communication stopped the madness. I don't care how bad trump is anymore. The Democrats and the British will get us ALL killed, yet. Doubt that? I have two words, dick cheny. Same with the rule of law, two words, Julian Assange. There will NEVER BE PEACE in West Asia as long as the Ashkanazi Jews are in Israel. Moishe Dayan stated publicly many years ago that Israel would not go down alone, they would take Europe with them. The more I look at the western countries especially the Anglosphere, the more I like China and it's philosophy of Harmony and good business. Production of wealth, not the free lunch extraction from others of the West. They remember what we did to them and they are arming to make sure that never happens again. WE need to take a long hard look at ourselves and quit projecting our flaws on others!

I vividly remember the Cuban Missile event. I was 9 yrs old at the time. In Edmonton they were erecting air raid sirens everywhere. We all thought that was pretty cool. After all if there is an attack all we have to do crouch under our desks or run to the basement and wait a while till it was over. It was much later when I learned about the actual reality that I become vehemently anti-war which I still am today. This is insanity to put it mildly and to think our own pathetic PM wants to give Ukraine the means to obliterate us all so he looks tough. Everything is turned on its head these days. We allow Israel to run rampant attacking their neighbours in an attempt to suck the US into a wider war while we sit and watch genocide taking place in Gaza and if I protest that I am suddenly Anti Semetic . Men decide they're suddenly women and boys suddenly decide to be girls and we affirm and applaud. The insanity is Top down spawned IMO by the Covid debacle which is still not even ackowledged by those responsible. I'm supposed to accept that there are 200 kids buried near where I live In Kamloops based on no evidence whatsoever, because after all when did evidence become desirable in this age of craziness. Thank You Trish for helping me retain some faint hope at least.

You're very welcome. I suspect there are no bodies but if there are, likely from the effect of an infection, pre-antibiotics in a congregant setting. Like everywhere else in the world.

The way the USA has treated Russia will go down as one of the biggest foreign policy failures in history. The west could have been friendly with Russian and been given access to her vast natural resources. Instead, Russia has been driven into the arms of the West's actual ideological enemies, China and Iran.

Ukraine is an obvious security weakness for Russia. The Ukrainian border is 450 km from Moscow and the country's flat plains are quite suitable for driving a mechanised army across. See 1941 as an example.

I really don't want to get cooked in nuclear fire, or starve to death in the post apocalyptic hellscape, because Washington and NATO are stupid, greedy, incompetent, and/or evil.

So much as always Trish with your informative pod casts ,it's hard to keep up with the influx of information from many sources non MSM . With respect to Russians and the pounding of drums re war , which I think is a desire based on the amount of $$$ that can be made and and a possibility to usher in the next stage of a New World Order , what comes to mind for me is the fabulous factual book by Ben MacIntyre called The Spy and The Traitor whereby the the highest ranking soviet spy at the time of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher's terms in power(Gordievsky) counselled them with regards to the handling of Gorbachev and Russian sensibility in general . Margaret was told how to dress for Chernenko's funeral , she passed on her intelligence ( M16's) to Reagan and they both has good relations with Gorbachev so much so, Gorbachev attended Reagan's funeral . Kind of interesting when people find common grounds for discussions rather than vitriol and sabre rattling for $$$$ .

Yes.....Good idea for a show.

A lot of his books have been made into movies/ shows but interesting this one hasn't . Maybe too revealing about what happens behind the scenes of government ? I can barely keep up with the influx of information and am currently reading about the communist saturation in our government via Sam Cooper 's- The Bureau . Went to a political meeting yesterday and pretty sure that is happening in plain sight with the majority of people here in Canada not recognizing how the past few years of this virus debacle was modelled on this communist regime - like policies, in my opinion. A Jack Russell here Trish - all over the map but trying, against all odds ,to connect dots that I believe may be hiding in plain sight.

Please take care of your health Trish. We need your wisdom! I wouldn’t mind if you replayed some older podcasts in weeks where you have nothing new.

I think that might happen.....thanks for your kind concern.

Within the first 4 minutes you talked about the booby-trapped pagers and said "obviously l want Israel to win" then you talked about Ukraine/Russia.

Can you please explain what is so obvious about an Israeli win because l'm just not getting it? This morning I listened to a brilliant Lex Friedman interview with Bassem Yousef that you might be interested in. His POV certainly clarified my thinking.

Meanwhile l sincerely hope you are getting some rest and are soon feeling better.

I was hoping Israel survives. as opposed to wins...badly spoken by me and addressed in more detail above. I love Bassem. He is brilliant!

Forgive me, you used the word "succeed" not "win". My apologies.

No worries.....I don't work from scripts to keep it natural sounding and sometimes I could choose better word....succeed is OK but I meant survive. :)

Expand full comment

Well, Israel wiinning, succeeding or surviving is still not obvious in my mind. :-) l lost hope when Yitzhak Rabin was murdered.

Thank you for clarifying your comment Trish. I was also a bit irked but I have listened to you long enough that I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you did not mean it the way it sounded. If you love Bassem he is coming to Toronto next weekend to do his comedy routine which I am sure will include his astute political take on things in the Middle East. Please take good care of yourself. You are doing really important work.

They did NOT give Ukraine permission. It was stopped at the last minute apparently by the Pentagon.

Brits have.

The Ukrainian military is already using British-made Storm Shadow missiles to strike targets deep in Russian territory, after being authorized to do so by London, Yuri Sak, Adviser to Ukraine’s Minister of Strategic Industries, has stated.

His comments come after British Foreign Secretary David Cameron stated earlier this month that Kiev has the right to strike Russia with weapons supplied by the UK.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV posted on Tuesday, Sak was asked if Ukraine’s forces intended to use foreign weapons against targets far behind the Russia-Ukraine conflict frontline. He replied that such incidents have already taken place.

That doesn't surprise me. I watched a recent podcast that included some footage of Biden and Stamer about to announce a decision apparently stopped from doing so at the last minute. The fact that the UK is already doing it, as dangerous as that is, is somewhat disturbing to say the least.

Joe Lauria @ ConsortiumNews describes how "... Blinken and the British are trying to lead us to the brink... (but there's) sanity in Arlington: [...] the Pentagon, the purveyor of the most monstrous violence in world history, has pulled the world back from it. For at least the second time — publicly known — the Department of War secured peace from neocon recklessness fronted by Blinken....." - https://consortiumnews.com/2024/09/20/the-madness-of-antony-blinken/

Trish,

I love your podcasts. You bring some much needed balance to our impoverished media choices. Its difficult to live in a world surrounded by people who believe the lies and propaganda from almost all media, MSM and independent. For example Rebel News is a propaganda arm of the Israeli IDF. We live in a dystopian media landscape. Lately I’ve been listening to Candace Owens. She’s very sharp and doing some damage to the lying hypocrites that rule us.

I just listened intently to your latest podcast on Spotify with Scott Horton. I couldn't wait for Sunday's sub-stack to thank you for clarifying your position and for having such an amazing speaker on your show.

Wonderful, informative podcast - thank you Trish! One suggestion - could you make your reading of the piece from "Nuclear War" a separate link? I would love to share that with people in my life who are not aware (not sure if that's possible with copyright issues?) It was so powerful, yet short enough that some might stop and listen. And think. Sending you lots of love and support on your healing journey - take care of yourself, we all want (and need!) you to be healthy and strong. #truthwarrior

And you mentioned the interview, in your car, under the bridge in Seattle near Ivar's Salmon House. That brought a smile to my face, as it is one of my favorite spots in my hometown :-)

I am just catching up on your podcasts. SUCH an important episode. I am sharing it with everyone I know. The threat of nuclear war is real and horrific yet people seem to be obsessed with the “climate catastrophe” or have been so manipulated into believing the “Iran/Russia is our greatest threat and enemy” that they mindlessly cheer on the uni party war-mongering, blind to the ultimate consequence of where that path takes us.

in the second half, the stupidity of the interviews here is astonishing...unless it is the intention to ask questions reflecting mob mentality in the u.s. it would be great to hear an interview of these two men by an intelligent interviewer
