(00:05):
Who are these people? Who are these people?
Oh, look at that. Nice.
What's up, everyone? It is Sunday night.
It's Indian Reef. It's.
How do we mention that it's INN.That's what you're here for?

(00:25):
It's Fuck Israel week. Oh, like every week.
Sorry. Yeah, there's a lot going on
there, so we're going to get to that in a little bit.
So I kind of want to talk a little bit about the stories
that aren't necessarily making major headlines this week.
There are probably 3 stories that are dominating the

(00:48):
narrative aside from, of course,Israel doing what it does every
single week in wrecking Gaza andstealing parts of Syria and part
of Lebanon. We will talk about Lebanon, but
but yeah, I mean, there's, there's so much else going on.
You know, there was there was a fake fight, WWE style fight that

(01:10):
happened this week. We're going to, we're going to
get to that as my tweet of the week talking about exactly just
how bad that was. And then, of course, there's all
of the stuff going on right now around the country, specifically
in New York and LA, where they've turned ice on to the
public right now or turn them against the public.

(01:31):
And it appears in some way, shape or form.
But there's certainly a bunch ofpeople that are cheering this
on. Way.
Yeah. Authoritarianism.
This is what I asked for. Jesus F in Christ.
Hell no. And then, of course, what?
Go start. Just put up.
Fuck Israel has just broken another international law, this

(01:51):
time in international waters, seizing the Freedom Flotilla and
kidnapping the crew. We're going to talk about that
during the Fuck Israel segment. But not much good for Happy
Gilmore. Oh, my God.
Yeah, that's going to be out soon.
Apparently the trailer came out.It was actually pretty decent.
A bunch of people like I want togo see that, but I think it's.
Straight. Straight to Netflix now.

(02:13):
Just remember, Sandler's also a massive Zionist.
Well, like, you can't. Like Hollywood basically is full
of Yeah, Anyway, before we get started, Oh no.
Anyway. Yeah, anyway, these are the

(02:34):
people that help out INN. You know what rookie move, there
we go. The, the way to support INN, the
best way is with a monthly or one time support over at Cash
App, Dollar Sign, Indy News Network, co-fee.com/indy News
Network over at PayPal, at PayPal dot me slash Indy News

(02:54):
Network or at INN newsletter.com.
You can do it there as well. You can also go to
indienews.now.com. I, I need to put that on the on
the slide. That's right, Ind i.e. indie
news.now.com and then you go to the keep the media free and
there's where you can also leavea tip directly.

(03:15):
So if you can hook that up, we really appreciate it.
I'm praying that our just the tip.
I'm praying that my my PC is notgoing to reboot.
We're not going to have any crashes tonight.
So because we have quite a bit to get to.
I don't know if you saw my one-on-one with Golden Monarch
that we put that that we played,we recorded it Wednesday, ran it

(03:37):
Thursday night as well as Saturday night.
And we talked a lot about Bitcoin.
We talked a lot about crypto andwhat a grift it is in a lot of
ways and how it's now becoming atool of the elite because most
people can't afford it. And even when it goes up,
they're really not making all that much from it.

(03:58):
They've got to hold on to it forever and it doesn't yield
anything as far as, you know, dividends or monthly income or
any kind of residual. It's all about the appreciation
and growth, which has ups and downs.
One of the things that we talkedabout was an article that he had
written that I wanted to bring here tonight.

(04:19):
It was talking about Steak and Shake and their acceptance of
Bitcoin now as a currency in order to buy a burger.
Like what have you heard about this reef?
Have you, have you, have you bought anything with crypto
yourself? I don't think so, no.

(04:44):
Have you bought crypto? Ever.
Yes. OK, so it's blockchain, it's
cryptocurrency. All right, this is our friend
Golden Monarch. Give him a follow over at the
Golden monarchdomain.substack.com.
Let's let's do it. Where's the sound?
Here it is coming to aid. Hopefully you heard that, but

(05:05):
probably not. Nope, you didn't.
Yes, thank you. I'm shaking my head up and down.
Nobody else? Nobody asked.
It didn't go out. It didn't go out to the stream.
Let's let's I'll let Reef do it.Go ahead.
That I did not hear or. Near you?
That was halfway coming to a There we go.
Substack newsletter near you all.

(05:26):
Right, we're bringing up the soundboard.
All right, folks. OK, yes, coming to a Substack
newsletter near you is the Golden Monarch Domain.
So he wrote, hey, steak and Shake, did you just call my
Bitcoin a cow? But no, I think he called it a
honeypot. Now this is a real image from a
real video, a real commercial that they did about accepting

(05:49):
Bitcoin where these clowns all danced in cow suits and they
literally call themselves with your Bitcoin.
They toshi like just what? OK, so he says snake and shake,
burgers, fries, milkshake, even the recent switching from
vegetable oil to beef tallow forfrying fries and other items.
What could go wrong? That's how you get brain worms.

(06:12):
You got to be careful. They literally brag that we RFK
D are fries really. And they're Bitcoin, right?
Yes, a bunch the the decentralized quote UN quote
cryptocurrency that's been wildly exaggerated, overvalued
as a result of earliest investors and billionaires and

(06:33):
politicians and a lot of media hype that has been bought and
executives at Steak and Shake are making no exception either.
They're rolling, they're rollingit hard for Bitcoin to enable
customers 1/3 option besides cash and credit card to pay for
items in Bitcoin. Good news for everyone, right?

(06:53):
Nope. We need to find out what's
motivating Steak and Shake to accept Bitcoin, who precisely
controls and owns Steak and Shake, and what official
executives of Steak and Shake have said about Bitcoin, and
what political agendas has Steakand Shake aligned itself with.
I think that you'll find that itfollows a very straight path.

(07:16):
So the first thing is, is that they're owned by a company
called Big Larry Holdings, whichis funny because I thought it
was like Big Larry, but it's no,it's, it's more like Big Larry
because the owner is Sardar Big Larry.
OK, so Big Larry Holdings which is located in San Antonio, TX

(07:39):
owned several subsidiaries alongwith Steak and Shake.
They include a Braxis Petroleum.So they own some oil companies,
First Guard and Maxim and Southern Oil, Southern Pioneer
and Casualty Insurance Company And Western Sizzlin Corp.
I don't know if that's the follow up to Sizzler Steakhouse.
I don't think so. I don't know what Western

(08:00):
Sizzlin Corp is. It's CEO who is Sardar Big
Larry. He has invested A considerable
amount of money buying companies, including Steak 'n
Shake. So he's like, you know, what do
you call that like just a, an investor.
All right, So Greg Abbott, who'sthe governor of Texas.

(08:21):
All right, Of course, we know that he's pro Israel Zionist
Christian last month threatened the city of San Marcos over its
proposed embargo on Israel. So that's the, the climate that
he that they're pandering to. Given Abbott's position, Big
Larry very likely has massive bias for Israel by remaining
silent on the matter. Either that or he's just a

(08:42):
pussy. But I would guess it, it's
probably the the former, all right, Because you can see that
he's given consistently not much, All right, $500 to his
local Rep, $1000 for Congress, 25 grand for his governor.
So that's one of the reasons whyhe's quiet about Greg Abbott and

(09:04):
just $216 to Donald Trump. That's that's a weird donation.
Anyway, Big Larry previously referenced Horatio Alger, the
American dream and the belief that anyone, regardless of their
background, can achieve upward mobility through hard work and
perseverance, even in today's day and age.

(09:25):
All right, Which is, you know, not acknowledging that there are
certain people that have that that start at the, you know, the
50 yard line and have a much more clear cut advantage than
others who succeed in this world.
And that some people start all the way back on the on their own
goal line and have a massive amount of challenges.

(09:47):
All right, so he says, quote. In the 19th century, the tales
of Horatio Alger captivated the public for the way characters,
his characters, overcome adversity.
Our franchise partners are the flesh and blood Horatio Alger,
heroes of the 21st century. That's a marketing slogan if
I've ever heard one. It's a reminder that when

(10:09):
opportunity knocks, all one needs is a knack for seizing
chances and for putting one's all into the work at hand.
Oh yeah, and it helps to have a billionaire behind you as well.
As long as you. Only a little bit.
As long as you play the game andyou play along and you follow
their rules, all right. But here's The funny thing.

(10:32):
You didn't bit use Bitcoin to buy your food.
You used lightning. So this account named Scotch
Horse points out that the personthat actually purchased their
burger through using Bitcoin that you used a side chain
called Lightning, which is builton top of failed soft orc of

(10:54):
Bitcoin called BTC. Not even slightly impressed.
You should have either used a credit card or opened a tab with
the manager. You'd have been better off.
All right. And he's got a couple of
articles that back that up, thatshow that borrowed dollars of
the lowest APR and the best way to spend Bitcoin.
OK, the burger cost was 9177 sats.

(11:18):
Sats are Satoshi's and Satoshi Nakamoto is allegedly the
inventor of Bitcoin. There's even questions and
rumors over whether that's an individual person that was just
a pseudonym for a collective of people or it's literally the
intelligence agencies. All right.
And then here's another one thatwe actually looked at on
Saturday night that not only or are you buying it for $9, but

(11:42):
the growth that you made on the 9177 SAT's, the profit, you
actually have to pay an income tax on that.
So it costs you more than the $9because you're also paying sales
tax on your burger. So Golden Monarch continues that
since May 16th of this year, they can shake accepted Bitcoin,

(12:02):
albeit using the Lightning Network.
Lightning, which was developed and launched out in 2018 through
the Lightning Labs and its CEO Elizabeth Stark, is a second
layer network built on Bitcoin to enable faster and cheaper
transaction. OK, but it's not actually
Bitcoin. At first glance, this sounds
good, but like any network, lightning is easily vulnerable

(12:25):
to quantum computing threats. And that was even hinted
recently by BlackRock. We talked about that last week
that they've already gained out how this thing is going to end
and how they're going to claim that the system was gained and
it's using this quantum computing which will break into
while crypto wallets and allow people to steal from them, clean

(12:45):
out wallets, manipulate the system in a way that it could
now change the blockchain potentially.
All right. Also routing attacks, fraudulent
breaching within social media, especially on the twatters,
crypto users and likely bots. Overwhelmingly hyped steak and
shakes announcement of Bitcoin, right Some users went overboard

(13:07):
and posted their receipts proving that they had used
Bitcoin to buy a burger worth $9or even $12.00 depending on what
they had on their burger right? There are some glaring issues
with these user statements. So he breaks down some of the
problems here, which is first ofall that they don't actually
show you the conversion rate that they calculated these sets

(13:31):
to be at in order to to get to 9177 or whatever the number is.
All right, So what he says that the receipt doesn't show the
conversion. So we don't even know what the
value of Bitcoin for the transaction amount was even sent
through. It's about a certain amount, but
are they making money is steak and shake or the processor

(13:54):
making money on the spread between when it was purchased
and when it was actually when the burger was bought and when
it's exchanged for something else?
I'm sure they are. It's really dicey and
complicated. Also, the receipts use sets as a
reference. One satoshi is point and it's 8

(14:14):
zeros plus A1. Why not just post receipts as
fractional Bitcoin instead? Why did he go through the hassle
to name a smaller form of a digital currency after a
pseudonym developer? It's weird.
The price of Bitcoin is volatile.
We've discussed that before as aresult of deliberate pumps and

(14:35):
dumps from elites and billionaires, etcetera.
And then the halvings as well, which he's going to get to, thus
receipts, etcetera. Steak and Shake will show
varying prices paid, be it overpaid or underpaid.
For something as simple as a burger, you might win out by a
couple of pennies, but in the end you're going to lose.

(14:58):
It's like a casino. The house always wins.
According to Decrypt, Bitcoin and other crypto currencies fall
under the same category as stocks, bonds and other long
term investments that may or maynot generate income via the IRS.
They are completely taxable. So like I said, the income that
you make between when you boughtyour Bitcoin and when you sold

(15:20):
it, in order to buy a burger, you have to pay tax on that
growth. All right, so he says, suppose
that three years from now a burger from Steak and Shake cost
$9 due to capitalism. Of course, the whales and
bitcoins having Yep, approximatelargely appreciating bitcoins
value to keep on rising, right? Which means that he's basically

(15:43):
predicting Bitcoin to go up to $300,000 a coin.
What if instead of paying $9 a Bitcoin for a Steak and Shake
Burger, that $9 wasn't spent andinstead accumulated to say
around $27, meaning that the value of what consumers spent
looks insane. Much like that infamous story
back in 2014 or whatever of thatone guy that paid 2 Bitcoin for

(16:06):
a pizza. All right, that's that's the
200,000. Yeah.
What am I do? All right, what do I propose?
It's simple. If you can, stop using
decentralized Bitcoin to purchase burgers, lest you enjoy
filing a hefty and rigged Form 8949, which is the tax form for
making any income on crypto. All right, hamburger.

(16:31):
Yummy. I had a delicious freaking
hamburger today, let me tell you.
That's my new theme song apparently.
Well, I mean, it is indie, yes. Ironically, they suggested that
customers might want to use stable coins instead.

(16:53):
That's also a really bad idea. It's just that there's no income
tax to then pay on stable coins because you don't make any money
on your stable coins. You have a dollar, it's worth a
dollar, that's it. Well, that's you don't want to
be in that if you're in crypto, all right?
I mean, it's stable, but it's not cash.
It's backed by neither World Liberty Financial or Circle,

(17:16):
which went public this week and doubled in value, apparently.
Now, we played this video and itactually got me whacked for a
copyright violation because it was music behind it.
And thankfully, YouTube allows you to just take the take the
music out now. So we can't actually play this
stupid video because this woman,Valentina Gomez, she apparently

(17:39):
ran for Congress and lost, and she just decided I'm going all
in on Bitcoin and I'm going to be a Bitcoin spokes model
representative, even though nobody's paying her, hired her,
asked her. She's just volunteering to do it
because of course. She owns all that fucking white
after Labor Day like a fucking like peasant.

(18:04):
Peasant. She holds a bunch of Bitcoin.
So by hyping Bitcoin she's actually pumping her own
investment. By it going up, she profits.
I call. Myself a joyful warrior.
These people, man, so it's it's an insane video.
It's a minute long. I got I I guess I got to play

(18:25):
it. I I know you.
Can't just got music. Just skip it.
It's fine, we get. It.
You look at the lady, we see it.She's buying burger we got She's
a. Mess, right?
She's in. It, it's just it, it gross.
Oh, yeah, By the way, Valentina Gomez APAC tracker on Valentina

(18:48):
Gomez sides with the Israel lobby touting her support for
stomping all over the 1st Amendment right to free speech,
working with the people at Columbia University.
Oh, she's she's. An.
Awful, awful. Person Burberry jacket too.
Her pinned tweet. That.
Is Islam has no place in Texas, a religion he does not believe

(19:11):
in religious freedom. And yet she wants to run for
Congress. So we get into Islamization of
America. Dude, this, this woman's
dangerous. All right, So our friend of
Monarch points out that she's a lunatic and he's correct, all
right, and that she's siding with the Israel lobby because
that's what lunatics do. But Bitcoin News, the 5th Column

(19:36):
and other crypto outlets won't say it, but I'll say it.
Steak and Shake should be ashamed of themselves for
partnering with a controversial figure, someone who I would
easily describe as yet another Bitcoin Zionist, Valentina
Gomez. Mark Israel Gomez, a political
candidate who ran and lost last year during an election to

(19:56):
become the Missouri Secretary ofState, is an excessive
narcissist individual who does whatever she can to seek and
feel validation. Whether it's her promoting
migrant execution, to using a flamethrower to burn LGBTQ
themed books, to wearing and removing a hijab to stir hate
speech within a Muslim event. The next time crypto bro or gal

(20:21):
mentioned Stake and Shake, ask them how did Big Larry Holdings
get a narcissist such as Gomez to go about promoting Bitcoin
and freedom without at least doing a proper background check?
Surely Freedom? Surely Big Larry himself is
fully aware of Gomez's profile to not even care.

(20:43):
All right, so this was at the Las Vegas Bitcoin Conference,
which our friend the monarch deemed Republican Convention 2.5
because Republic Convention 2 point O was the Bitcoin
conference last summer. All right.
This is where the CEOCOOS, I don't know was, I don't think he

(21:08):
was. He was at the RNC.
I want to be at the RNC. I want to hang with that.
Was the directed. FBI, I don't know if you want to
hang with him now. No, I don't much.
Very much not so the CEO says that Bitcoin payments cut their
processing fees in half. I OK for the 8 Bitcoin payments

(21:33):
that they made or whatever it isand then steak and shake
revealed their their success at you know, they've got their
promotion through Bitcoin magazine, literally their PR.
This is through coin desk. So you've got the whole industry
hyping this whole thing because why not?
The entire group of people is behind stands to profit from the

(21:54):
hype. So he says last week, and this
was at the end of May, prominentpoliticians, billionaires and
enthusiastic grifters, includingGomez and Graham Elwood, by the
way, gathered together at Las Vegas for yet another Bitcoin
conference, including Eric Trumpwas there and Chris from Rumble.

(22:16):
Sorry brother, but calling a spade a spade, they're all
standing in that room together smiling their ass off.
Dan Edwards, COO, Steak 'n Shake, was one individual who
reported on Steak N Shake's recent acceptance of Bitcoin and
the company's decision to transition away from cooking
with vegetable oil to now beef tallow, Which allegedly,

(22:37):
according to everything I've read, is worse because they're
using recycled beef tallow. Not even the original fresh
stuff. Gross, right?
Say to me who fucking said this shit in the fucking chat?
What fucking idiot said something stupid in the chat,
right? Edwards exaggerated with no
concrete evidence that Bitcoin is faster than credit cards.
All right, And we are saving 50%in processing fees to the point

(23:02):
that Edwards needed to refer to his notes.
So what his quote said was that accepting Bitcoin allows us to
meet our customers where our customers are.
No it doesn't. It's serving the Bitcoin Zionist
crazy hype lunatics. Customers can give up a fucking
couch. We're we were seeking to provide

(23:22):
our customers with another viable option by which to pay
for our products. No, you weren't.
We understand that allowing customers to pay with Bitcoin
alongside cash and credit cards puts Bitcoin on par with these
methods. No, it doesn't.
Those other globally accepted payment methods, yeah, you're
dumb because the others are likedebits, whereas this is an

(23:44):
investment growth or loss potentially.
I mean, maybe you'll even get a tax write off for your
cheeseburger that you bought at fucking Steak and Shake like a
dummy. All right, we'll do it live.
Edwards also hinted that the company's future plans to
involve AI powered cyber chefs. Robo taxis, drone deliveries.

(24:05):
What could possibly further go wrong?
Well, Edwards, if you think Bitcoin and AI are going to be a
cash cow for your business, you're sorely mistaken.
Go follow the monarch. That's freaking great.
That was a really good article and there's a lot of there's a
lot of links and stuff inside for you to go down rabbit holes.

(24:26):
Also watch that cringe video of of Valentina.
It's really bad. All right, Valentina Gomez and
tell people like this, this person is going to be a problem.
At some point, she wants to become a Secretary of State.
At some point, she'll run for governor.
Look, we live in a Idiocracy kind of world where central

(24:48):
casting figures like Christy Gnome get jobs in
administrations like this. You think Trump wouldn't
hesitate to hire someone who looks like straight out of
central casting? You bet your ass he would.
So she's worrisome and I, I certainly get concerned over
people like that and try to stayahead of the game to see who

(25:09):
they are and where they're coming from before they get to a
position of prominence so we cancall that out when they get
there. Not a lot of, you know, Bitcoin
is weird when it comes to YouTube.
They're not really big in monetizing Bitcoin channels,
although they do make a lot frompeople watching Bitcoin level
content. We are not monetized back on

(25:31):
YouTube because it's something that we said in support of the
Palestinian people just after the October 7th attack that we
would not that we have not stillbeen re monetized.
So if you're able to and a means, these are the ways to do
that. And that's with Cash App, dollar
sign, any news network. If you're on your phone that
this cash app that's through thestripers, through the Square or

(25:54):
Block network, then you've got Kofi.
Yeah, that that's helpful code code-fee.com/anynews network
that gets to PayPal or go straight to PayPal dot me slash
any news network. If you do the Kofi, it'll throw
a little thing up on screen or you could also go to the
newsletters, INN newsletter.com or at indiemediatonay.com.

(26:18):
You could also go to indienews.now.com.
We're actually live right now atindienews.now.com.
That's the website I built. It's actually a news website and
there's a watch live section on the website that has a streaming
whenever INN is live. What's up, fam?
Everybody hanging out. All right, cool.

(26:41):
What do I have next? Oh, this is just an interesting
and short poem that I thought was really different that no one
else really has seen yet. It's by someone, I don't even
remember how it showed up in my feed.
It's it was LinkedIn a response to somebody else.

(27:02):
And I was like, that's that's actually a really fucking poem.
It mentions a lot of people and a lot of themes that we talk
about and we don't get to bring stuff like that often enough.
I know we we featured the poem like they shoot horses, don't
they? And we actually can.
I actually connected with the the author of the poet that

(27:23):
wrote that. We of course have our resident
poet Jesse Jett here at I and N and I know that Steve over at AM
wake up. We'll ban you from this and all
known irrevocable universes irrevocably, permanently if you
if you assault him with unsolicited poetry.
But here I'm going to do something a little different.

(27:44):
So hopefully our friend at the Independent Review won't clip
this one. Well, I don't get banned
permanently over there, but thisis the poem that I wanted to
read and show. You know what, let's let's do it
on the other screen stenographers to power.
All right, by a man by the name of Dave Peck is his He's just

(28:07):
Dave Substack. It's Dave DD EE E3 ES
davedpeck.substack.com All right, and again, coming to a
Substack newsletter near you. That's right.
So his poem reads, a principle of democracy that is truly

(28:28):
paramount is that those in powershould be held to account.
We need journalists to scrutinize what leaders are
doing and to report on any misdeeds or trouble that's
brewing. But the mighty U.S. government
grew mightily scared when when the news from Iraq by WikiLeaks
was shared. They didn't want their war

(28:48):
crimes in public arena. They couldn't tolerate A
journalist with such a demeanor.the US sent its lawyers to work
on getting Assange indicted, told the UK to lock him up and
then to have him extradited. The Guardian embraced Assange
and published many a story with one scoop after another that

(29:08):
they could bask in the glory. But when the US decided that
Assange was their foe, the paperquickly dropped him like a hot
potato. Mainstream journalists won't
risk their careers turning sour.They toe the establishment line
as stenographers to power on theCourt of Justice ruling.

(29:29):
There's agreement worldwide Israel's occupation is illegal
and they're committing genocide.But Starmer stands with Israel
and can claims the UK does too. He thinks that he's our that
he's our PM. He can speak for me and you.
In Britain, 3/4 of us want a ceasefire today, although the

(29:50):
truth is hard for us to find in any which way because our
mainstream journalists are a spineless shower who care not
for the truth. They're just stenographers to
power. Abuse of terrorism laws is a
chilling sign of the times. Police target journalists who do

(30:10):
report on Israel's war crimes. They detained Craig Murray and
seized his laptop and phone. They were waiting for Richard
Medhurst when he flew back home.Sarah Wilkinson's home was left
looking like she'd had a break in, and she and ASA Winstanley
both had all their devices taken.
These independent journalists tell the truth and refuse to

(30:34):
cower, but there's no sign of solidarity from the
stenographers to power. The journalists who live in Gaza
are the world's bravest, where Israelis regard a press vest as
a target on your chest to prevent the truth about the
genocide from being spread. They are trying to make sure

(30:56):
that all the journalists are dead.
They shot Mohamed al Salhi in central Gaza back on day one and
killed 140 by the time the year was done.
Their deaths went unreported in our papers on TV News Hour.
There's no respect for martyred colleagues.
From stenographers to power. Good stuff.

(31:24):
Very good stuff. And I guess that brings us to
the beginning of our Fuck Israelsegment.
All right, so let's let's throw it out there now.
We got Carlos Lataf. If you haven't followed him yet,
what are you doing? Look at Lataf cartoons.

(31:47):
He drew 2 cartoons this week that were that basically said it
all. And right now they just, the
ship just got boarded and they've now arrested, slashed,
kidnap the people that were on there.
They're in international waters on their way to Gaza, unarmed,

(32:08):
with diapers and to become a single point of distribution,
which is already set up to be a nightmare.
And of course, they've been intercepted by Israel.
So this shows the shark that Israel is intercepting the the
boat bound for Gaza. The other one I thought was even
more powerful, which shows the IOF soldier guns pointed at the

(32:37):
children inside screaming any closer in your next at the boat.
So this is what's going on rightnow, fam.
Fuck Israel. All right?
Because Remember, Remember, it'snot about Hamas.
Because an Israeli strike on Christian Run Hospital in Gaza

(33:01):
kills another 4 journalists. This was three days ago by our
friend and Indy Media Award honoree Dave the Camp from
antiwar.com, also Indy Media Award honoree.
On Thursday, Israeli forces struck the courtyard of the AL

(33:21):
Ahi Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, killing four
journalists and at least two other civilians.
The hospital is run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem,
which strongly condemned the attack in a statement that was
released before 1/4 journalist was declared dead.

(33:42):
Quote This morning at about 10:20 AM local time, Israeli
forces fired inside the compoundof our Al Ahi Ahli hospital in
Gaza City, killing three journalists as well as two
others, including a father who was escorting his son to our
surgical unit for treatment fromprevious injuries.

(34:07):
In addition, this unprovoked assault against civilians
wounded thirty other bystanders,among them four of our hospital
staff. Of course, that was also part of
Israel's intent. They loved to to murder and
injure hospital staff. The diocese said that it
condemned the attack in the strongest possible terms and

(34:30):
called on the international community to enforce Israel's
adherence to the Fort Geneva Convention with respect to.
Its provisions. Fucking international community.
Where the fuck is it? Where the?
Fuck is it? It's supposed to have special
protections for hospitals, medical personnel, journalists,
and civilians in general. It's nice of the diocese to

(34:52):
notice or to say something now. OK again, Dave says.
According to Middle East I, the four slain journalists have been
identified as Suleiman Hajj and photographer Ismail Badaa, who
both worked for Palestine Today TV, photographer Samir Al Rifai,

(35:14):
who worked for Shams news agency, and the photojournalist
and video editor Motaz Muhammad Rajab, who worked for Kurds
Alyum TVI think I actually followed Motaz Rajab on Twitter.
Sources told Middle East I that the strike hit the hospital
courtyard while media workers were gathered there, and that no

(35:37):
one had prior warning of the bombing, as was the intent.
According to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, the
massacre brings the total numberof Palestinian journalists
murdered by Israeli forces sinceOctober 2023 to 225.
The PJS said in a statement thatit condemned Israel's continued

(36:00):
systemic, systematic policy of targeting and killing
journalists and committing successive massacres against
them and their families. UN quote another strongly worded
letter. But I mean they don't have bombs
to fight back. I mean what are they supposed to
do? They're running for their lives.

(36:22):
But I didn't just have one Fuck Israel war Crime Story this week
from Gaza. There's another one also from
Beirut. And this is another anti war
story in the media award honoree, but this one was from
Jason Ditz who I am not familiarwith.
So let's let's tear into this one.

(36:43):
Israel pounds southern Beirut following an evacuation order.
Oh, at least they gave an order and told everyone to get out
because we're going to bomb the shit out of this place, although
it's a residential neighborhood and they have no reason or right
to bomb a sovereign country. Lebanon's capital city of Beirut
is in shock tonight when massiveexplosions tore through the

(37:06):
civilian neighborhood of Dahiya in the city South as the result
of a major Israeli attack. This is the first attack on
Beirut in over a month. OK, let's go back here.
Israel issued an evacuation order in the evening, claiming

(37:28):
that Hezbollah had an underground factory in the city.
The attack came a few few hours later after sunset.
Of course, while everybody's in their homes and asleep, maximum
people in there. Information is still coming in
about what happened, but reportedly 8 buildings were hit
in the targeted neighborhood andlater reports that there were

(37:49):
more than a dozen strikes. It's not clear whether those are
the same buildings that were sighted in the evacuation
warning. And since Israel was targeting
an underground site, it's not even clear what the surface
buildings that the surface buildings were even the target
in the 1st place. The secret tunnels, right?
More secret tunnels. Yay, secret tunnels.

(38:15):
Edit Eddings. Spell spell things right?
Eddings. Secret tunnel.
Yeah. Secret.
Hello. And to the questions which have
yet to be answered are reports that Lebanese army forces
entered the buildings identifiedby Israel before the strike,

(38:37):
probably to make sure that theircitizens were out and weren't
going to be killed. It's neither clear if the army
was present when the strikes began or whether those buildings
ended up being hit at all, but it could potentially add to the
seriousness to of the matter. There are still no confirmations
of casualties, which is weird. People reported that there were

(38:59):
substantial traffic jams in Dahya as everyone moved to try
to evacuate before the strike. Naturally, it may well reduce
the likelihood of civilian casualties, though again, we
don't yet have word of what hit the buildings or what what, what
hit the what the hit buildings were, or whether anyone was left

(39:20):
within them. Israel claimed the existence of
the alleged underground site wasa ceasefire violation, but it
has yet to be established that there actually was such a site
there. Trust me, bro.
And moreover, it's not clear from the terms of the ceasefire
that Hezbollah wouldn't have been allowed to have an
underground facility in Beirut, which is far north of the Litani

(39:43):
River boundary that they're supposed to be removed from
Defense minister is. Yeah, right.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Israel would not allow
anyone to create threats to Israel.
That's nice. And.
Vague. Whatever.
Though Hezbollah has not actually attacked Israeli

(40:03):
territory a single time since the ceasefire went into effect
in November. So the timing of this attack is
odd, to say the least. Or maybe not so much at all.
Adding to the. Time.
Regulations on being the world'sbiggest bitch.

(40:25):
Yeah. Well, they're they're also the
world's biggest douche all. Right.
Yeah, so that's that. That's a pretty good
accomplishment there to be both.Adding to the timing is the
question that the attack came roughly around sunset, meaning
the importance the important religious feast of Eid al Ahah
had just begun. Thursday marked the yawn Arafah,

(40:49):
a very important holiday where Muslims who do not go to Mecca
that year generally fast. All right, sunset marks the end
of the fast and the beginning ofthe feast and Israeli strike
roughly coincided with that. Because God forbid any of them
are allowed to eat ever. They want to starve all of the
Muslim population, apparently, but not just the Muslims,

(41:12):
because remember, Al Ahmi Hospital is a Christian
hospital. Yep.
Though Hezbollah's violation of the ceasefire here is still up
for dispute, Israel plainly isn't, and multiple Lebanese
leaders issued statements condemning Israel's attack on
the capital as a particularly flagrant violation.

(41:34):
Israel has carried out thousandsof attacks on Lebanese soils
since the ceasefire went into effect, but attacking Beirut has
been comparatively unusual. But all of them are still war
crimes. Attacking a sovereign nation
because you claimed that they were attacking you first and
then permanently setting up occupation in the southern half

(41:56):
of that country is also a war crime.
Yep. But what else is going to happen
to them now? All right, I'm going to give a
little bit of a warning here because this is a really graphic
and if you get triggered by all means, I understand.
Come back in a few minutes because this one's oh boy.

(42:22):
Menar MU, who is the founder andeditor in chief over at Mint
Press news in the Media award honoree, had a guest on an
American nurse of on her podcastthis week, Mint cast, who
described how he seen that Israeli soldiers are

(42:44):
deliberately shooting boys in the penis.
He, like the the IDF, are shooting Palestinian boys in the
junk so they will never be able to have children.
They're neutering. Are you fucking kidding me?
They're neutering a population. They are sterilizing the
population to ensure that they cannot reproduce.

(43:06):
But no genocide is happening, right?
This isn't systematic ethnic cleansing, right?
I can't even I can't even play this.
But he says the scenes Willie Massey in witnessed in Gaza were
howling children shot multiple times in the head, chest and
groin. Hospitals reduced to rubble, the

(43:28):
smell of burning flesh and gunpowder lingering in the air.
For the American ICU nurse recently returned from the
besieged enclave. And thank God he's able to get
back. Israel's assault on Gaza was not
just war. It was deliberate, systematic
extermination, which we've been saying from minute one.
There you go. Now you can read these words a

(43:49):
whole lot clearer. Massey had been on the front
lines of the Israel of the Israeli attack on the densely
populated strip. Oh, man, these people that stand
on the front lines in order to patch up Palestinians that have
been shot at and wounded, just wow, Incredible people.

(44:12):
So he's worked in Al Aqsa, Nasser and Indonesia hospitals,
by the way, all of which have been bombed multiple times by
Israel. He sat.
Down Where the fuck is Doctor Hossam?
Where is he at Doctor Hossam AbuShaffir that that would be nice

(44:32):
to know. He sat down with with Minar Adly
to discuss his time in Palestineand the brutal right realities
of the assault, the Israeli assault.
This is Part 2 of that interview.
You know, he and other health professionals from all over the
world risk their lives to save as many people as possible.

(44:55):
These actions have made them a target.
Israel's killed more than 1400 healthcare workers.
I remember they used to screech about 1200 people killed on on
October 7th. What about the 1400 health care
workers they've murdered since October 7th?
Every one of which is a war crime?

(45:18):
IDF attacks have destroyed or damaged 33 of Gaza's 36
hospitals. It's an atrocity that humanity
should never forget. Worse still, he noted, as that
Israel blocks medical supplies from reaching the area, meaning
that he and his colleagues must work even without basic
instruments and drugs, Anesthesia, penicillin.

(45:40):
Anesthesia. Rubbing alcohol like they want
infection to spread. They want.
We don't have gauze, we don't have anesthesia, we don't have
antibiotics, no water, no electricity.
I think I heard they didn't evenhave bleach like.

(46:02):
Israel, before every strike, cuts off electricity.
They're going to bomb you while you're in the dark, of course.
Massey explained how this lack of electricity means life saving
machines are shut off, causing mass deaths.
Ventilators, for example, stop working unless they have backup
generators, and then they targetthe generators.
And so he and his colleagues must bag patients a process of

(46:25):
connecting their respiratory systems to plastic bags, which
have to be pumped by hand, day and night to keep oxygen flowing
into these people's bodies. And as they pump, Israeli bombs
fall on the hospital and bulletspenetrate its walls.
Man, fuck Israel. These bomb boats supplied by the

(46:47):
United States, often at US taxpayer expense, who footed the
bill for more than $22 billion of AIDS of Tel Aviv since
October 7th of 2023, making Washington an active participant
in the destruction and extermination.
Despite its rhetoric about slashing budgets, the Trump

(47:09):
administration has shown few signs of limiting the aid
flowing flowing to Israel, even as international organizations
label the campaign a genocide and call for boycotts and
sanctions against Israel. Masse also chronicles a war
against the children of Palestine.
We've talked about this many times, noting how girls are

(47:31):
dying of urinary tract infections because of the
shortage of sanitary products, even tampons.
Israeli soldiers, meanwhile, deliberately shoot boys in the
junk in order to prevent them from ever being able to have
children of their own. These are the stories you're not
supposed to hear, which is why you're hearing them here.

(47:55):
Because I don't give a fuck. These stories are going to get
told here, these motherfuckers. And then they turn around and
say that the Palestinian people are animals when they behave
like that, committing deliberatewar crimes on the regular.

(48:16):
And again, the Tufts, Yeah, justas a reminder that Israel has
boarded and seized A humanitarian ship of British
flag flagship. So now Great Britain either has

(48:37):
to have given permission for them to seize the people aboard
it and stop it, or they have nowcommitted a violation of
international law that Britain now must respond to for having
Israel stop and board one of their ships without permission.
Holy shit, that's an act of war,isn't it?

(48:57):
Last I don't remember it was allright.
And again, just remember who theIDF is mostly firing on at this
point. It's women and children.
There are at most 30,000 Hamas, admittedly, according to the
IDF, that's after 2 1/2 year, orwas it 20 months of dropping

(49:20):
bombs on them, where they originally claimed that there
were only 20,000 Hamas fighters.So somehow they've murdered or
kidnapped or arrested most of the men there and somehow there
are 10,000 more Hamas fighters than there were.
That's don't math there, by the way, the math say Madden, what's

(49:48):
up with that? What's up with that?
All right, I cannot say fuck Israel enough.
Oh wait. Where's the other freaking story
that I had that X girl had that was incredible, All right, about
and I I guess I'll bring it nextweek about the Jewish Zionist

(50:10):
terrorist that that tried to firebomb the US Embassy in Tel
Aviv in Israel because he has a grudge with Donald Trump, All
right? It's and that's a crazy fucking
story that the media is burying because it doesn't fit the
narrative, all right? It doesn't fit that someone to

(50:32):
Trump's right, all right. Someone who thinks that Trump
isn't supporting Israel hard enough wants to punish the
United States for not supportingit.
He moved from Boulder, Co. Did something else happen in
Boulder, Co in the last week or so?
I don't remember. Was it like some kind of a of a

(50:54):
of a quote, UN quote, attack or a SIOP of some kind?
Yeah, I seem to recall that something did happen over there.
Now, this guy happens to have been from Boulder, and he claims
that his family owns one of the largest hotel chains in the
country that competes with Trumpand that Trump has made his life
miserable. He's now moved to Israel and

(51:17):
he's completely bought into. Now it's his home and his
country. This is an American Jewish
Zionist who, again, the right ofreturn, and we talked about the
right of return in the past. Remember, the Palestinians have
no passport and have no rights to any land or anything at all

(51:38):
when it comes to Israel or Palestine, according to Israel.
However, an American Jew can geton a plane, fly to Israel and be
handed a parcel of land as part of What's up with that?
Yes, as part of birthright, quote UN quote, although I

(52:00):
renounce my birthright, I don't want it give it to a Palestinian
person. But they won't do that.
Of course, that's not part of the rules.
Just like when they were sellingoff the properties for the Gaza
waterfront in Toronto and in Teaneck, NJ and in Los Angeles
suburbs, they were not allowing anyone to purchase it on behalf

(52:21):
of a Palestinian family. How nice.
They created those rules too. Again, fuck Israel.
So we're not going to be re monetized for segments like
that. And if you are able to and you
do like the media and you want to support the media that you

Good evening, Substack, if you're watching and hanging out,
Thank you for thank you for hanging out newsletter near you.
I did. I did have the chat open at one
point. I don't know what happened to
it, but All right, sorry, but Rachel Maddow's death will just

(53:25):
have to come as a pleasant surprise to me.
It would be, well, I'm not goingto in a, in a video game, right?
In a video game. All right, so good evening to
our sub stack, fam. Good evening over on Odyssey.
We're live on Odyssey. I see that Ron beat Heard is

(54:09):
bitch Ute that's right Iron Chief over on Kick Dude holding
it down all week long. I have 70 alternative accounts.
Iron Chief discovered AM wake upthis week and also hung out and
watched. By the way, on Friday we were
able to very special coach stream on Twitter, Twitch and

(54:29):
Kick the Independent Media Alliance.
They did a about a two hour livestream with seven of the members
all about a Palantir and the upcoming Panopticon and their
software and exactly what their ghost software does and exactly
what their Gotham software does and how it powers the

(54:52):
intelligence communities and howit's being used by cops.
Even right now. The potentially track down
target and identify protesters in Los Angeles, in New York and
elsewhere around the world. Of course, we know that Palantir
also has the OR was involved in the Where's Daddy software and

(55:14):
they and that their CEO Alex Karp was challenged about that
and ended up sweating as hard asPeter Thiel.
It was, it was gross. Going to have a bad time.
When you French fry instead of pizza, you definitely are going
to have a bad time. He French fried when he stood up
pizza. All right, what's the next

(55:37):
segment that I brought? Ah, that's right, we're being
targeted. I don't know you, you doing the
show? Am I all right?
That's that's right. All right.
Well, before we do that, let me go here and fix Reese so that
he's not sitting on the side. All right?
I probably need to move this over.
Well, do it live. I need to move this over.

(56:01):
Slide this here. I'll move this over.
There's reefs face there he is not more.
More reef. OK.
Sorry, everybody. We got to fix this on the fly.
Like you said, Fuck it. We'll do it live.
All right? How do you how?
Do they get messed up? You're seeing the behind, well,
you. Just I mean break things.

(56:22):
You moved your positioning I would guess would be, hey, now
he's in the middle. OK, everyone.
Hey, by the way, they're coming for us.
They're coming right for us. Centered.
Now you're centered. I'm in the thing.
Positioned beautifully OK so this is my segment entitled
everybody who disagrees with youis an extremist.

(56:44):
I believe that is the name of a Jessie Jett album at one point
and we have all been targeted tobecome the the next batch of
extremists because as. You violated the law.
Yes, as our Homeland Secretary has clearly stated that there is
no room in the US for the rest of the world's terrorist

(57:07):
sympathizers. So therefore, terrorist
terrorism, terror terror terror terrorist, terrorist, terrorist
terrorist terror organization, terrorist attacks, terror,
terrorism terrorist network, terrorist attacks terrorist
group, terrorists terrorist terror, terror terrorist
terrorist, terrorist instrumentsof terror, terror network.

(57:30):
Terror. That's someone gets me every
time. Terrorizing.
Instruments of terror. He gets me every time, dude.
So our Department of Homeland Security felt the need on in
advance of this all going on on Thursday.
I think it was snow or even Wednesday.

(57:51):
Put this out. There is no room in the US for
the world's terrorist sympathizers.
I wonder who they're talking about.
Anyone who thinks they can come to America and advocate for
anti-Semitic violence and terrorism think you can.
The only anti-Semitic violence that I've actually seen was like
the betar motherfuckers that were attacking the Jewish

(58:15):
students at Columbia, by the way, right, you are not welcome
here. Yes, Betar, you are not welcome
here. We will find you, deport you,
and prosecute you to the right. But we will find you, deport
you, and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.
Unfortunately, I don't think they mean Betar.
They mean us, or not even because we are not coming to

(58:38):
America. But they mean college students
who are, who voice an opinion that they disagree with Israel's
policy of exterminating the Palestinian people, as admitted
by an American nurse who just served there at their hospitals.
Homeland Security would not likeyou to pay attention to those

(59:00):
inconvenient facts, no. Yeah.
To go along and play along with the narrative, you've got
lunatic right winger lobbyists like Palantir's favorite
lobbyists who used to be a representative in Congress in
California. Mike Gallagher calls for
branding Code Pink as domestic terrorists.

(59:22):
Now, I've called for a long timethat the reason why they went
after Julian Assange as hard as they did was that they deemed
him a non state hostile actor, Aterrorist and international
terrorist, which then meant thatthey could do all kinds of
different things and throw out all kinds of different laws in

(59:43):
order to be able to prosecute terrorism.
Thanks for that, Obama. All right, all of the rules go
out the window when you come when it comes to terrorism.
Now, Palantir CEO Alex Karp has acknowledged his company's
central role in the Gaza slaughter and brags about
killing people around the globe.So let's hear what this unhinged

(01:00:05):
lunatic has to say to Fox Business in this country.
Well, I became very used to CodePink paid protesters disrupting
every hearing that we did when Iwas chairman of the Select
Committee on China. But what I found myself thinking
while on stage with the Secretary of the Navy is that
we're less than a day removed from these crazy people.

(01:00:27):
Having burned alive a Holocaust survivor, couldn't they have
taken just one day off from their insanity?
This is now a fringe sort of woke anti-Semitic virus that was
once confined. Fringed Woke.
Happening in the lab and these incidents are grown.
But wait a. Minute.
It's not interesting. Somebody set a Holocaust

(01:00:50):
survivor on fire. Wait, what?
Yeah, bullshit. That's that's just a
fabrication. This is now a fringe sort of
woke anti-Semitic virus that wasonce confined to college
campuses has now escaped the laband these incidents.
Because college campuses are thereally the ones that started

(01:01:11):
everything here, right? It wasn't it wasn't because
Israel was murdering people. There wasn't any anti war
protesters before right? They're also not interested in
free speech or freedom of exchange.
Except the speech. Well, he's supposed.
For yeah. Except.

(01:01:31):
For us to say fuck Israel and stop bombing babies, that's not
free speech. They were intending to disrupt a
free exchange of ideas, so they.No, it wasn't a free exchange of
ideas. It was not a free exchange of
ideas, motherfucker. It was an exchange of ideas
between Palantir and their shareholders or and a friendly

(01:01:52):
audience that wasn't going to challenge them on any of those
substantive issues. You fuckers.
It's a fucking free exchange of ideas while you fucking tear
people off the stage. How the fuck that work?
Incredibly uninformed. They're brainwashed.
Brainwashed who keeps denying genocide again?

(01:02:13):
Which is a dangerous movement, domestic terrorist movement, we
must use all legal. Domestic terrorist movement.
Mechanisms at our disposal to prevent people being harmed, and
I think politicians on the left,on the right, everywhere in
between can come together aroundthat basic, very fundamental
American fact. No, it's not a fact.

(01:02:37):
Politicians on the left, on the right, legal, which is a
dangerous movement, a domestic terrorist movement.
We must. A domestic terrorist movement?
That's dangerous as fuck right there.
All right, the domestic terrorists are the guys that are
fucking beating up immigrants inthe streets right now that have

(01:02:58):
uniforms and night sticks and guns.
Those are the domestic terrorists.
Oh, by the way, thanks. Thanks a lot to our friend Mel,
the village crazy lady. But wait.
But wait, hold on. What else did Max have to say
underneath that? By the way, the The Dissident,
our friend and Inn Co founder also published a very long

(01:03:19):
article with a deep a deep dive in expose on Mike Gallagher.
But here's a couple of of hit points from village crazy lady
Mel. Hey Rep Gallagher, haven't seen
you answer the following questions.
Why did you collect millions in campaign donations in 2024
despite knowing that you were going to resign from office last

(01:03:40):
January? Why did you not return that
money to your donors? Why did you then donate $350,000
from your campaign coffers to the Sagamore Institute one month
after you were appointed to jointheir board?
Is that how you eventually got your payoff?

(01:04:02):
Because that wasn't your money that you gave those people who
gave to your campaign. And what are you going to do
with the remaining $3.2 million still in your account?
Going to launder that back to yourself as well?
Why would your PAC not call the law after a thief intercepted

(01:04:23):
your mail, then stole thousands of dollars from your PAC by
forging checks? By the way, here are the
receipts. Here are the receipts.
Knowing that, the Sagamore Institute got a $350,000
donation OK from Waging Peace Treasurer Paul Kilgore in

(01:04:47):
Athens, GA. All right, meet the team for the
Sagamore Institute Timeline screenshots asking everything,
right? This is from Paul Kilgore, to
whom it may concern. We are in receipt of the letter
from the Commission regarding the above referenced report.

(01:05:08):
Please see below for our complete response.
The loss was the result of a check for a legitimate expense
being intercepted while in transit through USPS and forged
by the thief. So it was a forgery.
The committee has has implemented new anti theft

(01:05:28):
prevention measures to prevent future occurrences.
Thank you for your opportunity to respond.
So allegedly the check was fraudulent.
Paul Kilgore waging peace. That was March 6th.
March 18th. Waging Peace reported fraudulent

(01:05:50):
activity to Nicolette National Bank on July 424th, 2024.
The committee can confirm that neither Nicolette Bank nor the
Pack contacted law enforcement after the theft occurred in
effort to recover the funds. The Pack submitted an affidavit
for fraudulent activity to Nicolette Bank, confirming the
funds were stolen by an unknown individual to the campaign on

(01:06:14):
July 30th, 2024. The Bank returned to the
committee on September 19th thatthe funds could not be
recovered. So the money's gone.
So it made it to the Sycamore, to the Sagamore Institute,

(01:06:36):
right, $350,000 was cashed. Stolen, but cashed.
How couldn't they recover it? These guys could just give the
check back, wouldn't they? Where's the money, Lebowski?
But no, they instead. Oh, wait.
Oh, look, he he got hired. Get out.

(01:06:56):
No way this is the guy that smashes the watermelons right?
I wish. No, he died.
So Speaking of what was happening in the streets this
week, I've never heard of you topic news before so take it
with a with a grain of salt, butthis is actual camera footage.
The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrest a Chilean woman on

(01:07:18):
vacation in New York City and the police left her 12 year old
daughter on the street alone. Tell me how this is helping
anybody. She was here on vacation
legally. What the fuck?
Let's watch this bullshit. Fucking pigs stop.
You violated the law. Take my daughter, my daughter.

(01:07:57):
No, please, she also adds. Could you imagine how much money

(01:08:28):
these people spent to come to New York City to begin with?
And then she's just taken away like what she's supposed to do?
What the fuck is she supposed todo?
You know, I believe it was Public Enemy that once said fuck

(01:08:51):
the police. Speaking of which, the
stormtroopers were out in LA too.
Seditionist distribution. After a rapid increase in the
number of ice raids, the people of LA marched on the county jail
and spent yesterday battling DHSin the LAPD.
Solidarity to those who resist. So here is a line of

(01:09:14):
stormtroopers firing tear gas ata crowd.
Check this shit out. Unbelievable.
Remember what Cop City is about.It's.

(01:09:46):
This. We need the Imperial March for
sure. Deep, deep, deep.
Deep. Deep, deep, deep.
Deep. Yeah, you're fine.
Why have the bait, tops? Dude, Dude, Dude.

(01:10:08):
Dude. Dude, dude, dude.
A lot. Of those reporters got hurt and
yet another one fired into the crowd just for good luck.
All right, then, of course, we saw this today.

(01:10:29):
Trump deploys the national. Guard.
And now all the shit that we've been warning you about for years
and showing you with Boston Dynamics.
Fuck you in the sound. Yeah.
Fuck you in your music? Oh hell no.

(01:10:51):
So I believe you did a long segment on how to disable one of
these things recently on INN news.
Check that out. Couple of times.
All right, that's what's that's what they have prepared for us,
our new robot overlords. All right, now for now, you can

(01:11:12):
throw a jacket or a shirt over the camera, run around to the
back and hit the kill switch on the back, which is basically
where the dog's asshole would bedisgusting.
But so are these robot dogs. That's gross.
So I don't think that YouTube would be too happy with us for

(01:11:34):
that, and they certainly don't want to monetize us back.
So if you're able to, it a meansfund the media you want to see
and support the media you want to see.

(01:11:56):
there or at indynews.now.com where we're live right now and
I'm going to show you that in a minute.
But before we do that, we got the lightning round, lightning
round, lightning round. And we're we're doing all right
on time. Good.
All right, Number one, I wanted to call attention and Reef did a
great segment this week on DavidMcBride and I might even, I
would encourage everyone to playthat segment.

(01:12:17):
It's only 6 1/2 minutes long, but he sets a timer during the
segment because it literally counts off the amount of time
that they allowed for the entirehearing.
It was an open and shut case, intentionally geared.

(01:12:38):
And they they didn't post the courtroom number on the board so
that his supporters weren't ableto get there.
And by the time they did, the hearing was already over.
So they couldn't stand up and have any kind of a ruckus at
all. All right, what a mess.
So David sent this message afterhe had been denied his his his

(01:13:02):
appeal. McBride just sent this message.
Quote. To those who stood by me through
thick and thin. You're my greatest joy.
You are my family. It's those who fight with us in
the darkest hours who win the most glory from my heart.
Thank you. I will never forget your
support. David McBride is an Indie Media
Award honoree for his courage and whistle blowing, also

(01:13:24):
speaking out on his behalf. All were, of course, Misty
Winston and Consortium News and Paula Isela, another Indie Media
Award honoree for activism. Then we also had Steve.
Steve, surprisingly enough, pointed out that now, not really

(01:13:44):
surprisingly enough, he's spokento David more than just about
anyone. And that he supported David for
a long time. But the during the trial, the
Australian version of the CIA, the SIS, came in and confiscated
documents that David was going to use at trialed in his
testimony. They deemed them classified.

(01:14:05):
They classified them in the middle of the trial after the
fact. Justice for David McBride so
again, that's INN go check it out.
David McBride's court appeals are rejected.
He reads through a consortium news article on that.
So solidarity with our brother David McBride.

(01:14:28):
I also wanted to I don't want todo any of those things reboot,
refresh. OK, this was a fun one did.
I do that. No, I'm not turning off my ad
blocker. Damn it, damn it, damn it.
Now they're making. Now they're making me do what?
They didn't do this before. Do it live.

(01:14:49):
I can. I'll write it and we'll do it
live. OK.
I guess we're going to have to open up another browser in
another browser, another window that won't block it.
Let's do this. Fuck you, a haboob.
Anyone know what a haboob is? I know that Lone Star does

(01:15:11):
because Lone Star is the one that gave this to me.
And you live near this obviously, I guess reef, so you
should have seen this. Possibly.
That's cess, I say. Meet the ball.
So a sun, the sun filtered by the dust in Florida as a haboob

(01:15:32):
the size of the 48 states approaches the US.
Nothing to see here. Sky Sand Store.
Please disperse. Right.
It's a big sandstorm. Oh yeah.
So the article reads, a giant haboob from the Sahara Desert is
about to reach the southeastern US, predicted to hit Texas and

(01:15:55):
Florida on Wednesday. Haboob's regular occurrence in
the Sahara Desert between May and October, particularly in
June as thunderstorms kick up kick dust up high into the
atmosphere. OK, cool.
A boob's result from a microburst, which is an intense
column of sinking air within a thunderstorm which, as it hits

(01:16:16):
the ground, spreads out in all directions and carries out sand
or dust particles at speeds of up to 60 mph.
That's not cool. The lofted particles can reach
heights of 5000 feet, so you're talking almost a mile in the
air, and can extend up to 100 miles wide.

(01:16:38):
Holy shit. This particular Abub, sometimes
referred to as the Saharan air layer, is a particularly large
one. I would guess so and is expected
to reach the US coast before dispersing.
And allegedly, yes, that's what's happened.
All week long the people have seen the sun kind of blotted

(01:16:59):
out. Abub's happened all over Africa.
This is a grand scale, Habub. There's all kinds of funny stuff
you can do with the boobs. Thank you.
All right. A hurricane scientist at NOAA
said that it's about the size ofthe lower 48 states, contains a

(01:17:20):
lot of dry air and dust as well,and it makes its way completely
across the Atlantic. No, this was not a test of the
emergency broadcast system. And that this haboob has already
travelled about 4000 miles over the ocean.
How the fuck does it do that? Dry air and a lot of dust.

(01:17:41):
I don't understand man. Is it walking on water now that
we're ramping up in the peak season of these dust?
Outs. It's about every three to five
days that another one comes off the coasts, so we usually get
impacts over the peak of the hurricane season.
Yes, Sean, the Accord Lord over on Discord had my idea when I

(01:18:02):
thought of haboobs. Yep, he's I can't put that up.
Oh God, that's awful. All right, all right.
John Morales from TV the SaharanAir Layer paid a visit to South
Florida and the Keys today. Here's what sunrise looked like
in Key Largo this morning, with the sun filtered by dust.

(01:18:26):
So is all that dust harmful to you?
Well, it depends on the concentration and the altitude.
Well, that means probably it's best to refer to local air
quality monitoring agencies for alerts.
High altitude dust transport is less likely to have a
significant impact on air quality at the surface, but
important dust clouds at surfacelevels.

(01:18:47):
OK bring particulate matter course and fine worsening air
quality and posing respiratory or even cardiovascular risks.
Now we have to be worried about large dust storms coming from
the Sahara fucking desert. Saharan dust also does transport
microorganisms, including pathogens.

(01:19:11):
This shouldn't be a reason for alarm as airborne virus and
bacteria are part of the atmosphere.
Oh I see that the the haboob virus.
Here we go. As we all experienced with
COVID, whether it can be dangerous for health is a matter
of concentration and pathogens or completely made-up.

(01:19:32):
These haboobs can of course affect the weather as they
travel throughout the summer months.
Got to be shitting me. The Saharan air layer is a
another significant seating phenomenon among affecting
tropical storms. The massive, dry, mineral rich,
dusty air that forms over the Sahara from late spring to early

(01:19:55):
fall and moves over the tropicalNorth Atlantic every three to
five days at speeds of 22 to 55 miles an hour.
That's fast. The these air masses are one to
two miles deep. And exists in the lower
troposphere, so not at the surface.

(01:20:16):
They can be as wide as the continental US like this one,
and have significant moderating impacts on tropical cyclone
intensity and formation. Because the dry, intense air can
deprive the storm of moisture and wind shear can interfere
with its convection. Oh, Jesus.
However, disturbances on the periphery of the sort Saharan

(01:20:38):
air layer can receive a boost intheir convection and spin.
Great. The immediate effects are
unlikely to be more severe than making your car a bit dusty and
grimy, like a layer of pollen, almost.
But the storm could impact the local weather.
OK, great. It's expected to push into the

(01:20:59):
Gulf, Mexico, the Gulf of Mexicoand out of America before
potentially turning the skies hazy from Florida to Texas until
Friday of last week. So you saw this, did you?
Did you, did you hear about this?
Did you see this? I mean, I really.
Did anybody talk about? It from where I'm at, no.

(01:21:21):
Interesting I. Mean probably.
It was a haboob, all right. This one I'm not going to read.
It's a long one, but it's a goodone.
From our friend Arturo Dominguez.
Decolonized journalism extreme arturo.substack.com.
US denies Cuban athletes visas, banning travel from 19 countries

(01:21:43):
and more. All right.
And that was again after the violent attack in Boulder, Co.
They're weaponizing the incidentto target non citizens and
villainize them as terrorists. So also a really important
story. Cuba's national basketball team
was denied permission to travel to Puerto Rico for the FIBA

(01:22:04):
America qualifiers. So they had the forfeit of their
first game and most of their players were denied visas.
Isn't that nice? And they earned their spot after
qualifying earlier this year. But womp womp, fuck the Trump
administration. There's a lot to that story.
I encourage everyone to go read it.
I'll put that link in the description.

(01:22:27):
Also, want to call out again, shout out to our friend at at
Food Not Bombs, Keith McHenry. But this is not a Keith McHenry
article. This was from Farah Hassan at
Inequality. All right, who's talking about
how the fact that criminalizing homelessness doesn't work, but
housing people actually does? How about that?

(01:22:48):
What a wild, weird, wild stuff, right?
This is from a publication called other words.
I wanted to click over there. Look at that.
That's people sleeping in the back of their cars.
All right, And this is talking about the and we talked about
this last year. They passed us an ordinance in I
think it was North Carolina or maybe even in Southern

(01:23:10):
California. The Grants past decision, all
right, which may have opened thedoor to new cruelties.
And they're basically outlawing homelessness, all right.
Around 100 House people were recently forced to vacate
Oregon's Deschutes National Forest or else face a $5000 fine
or up to one year in jail, or both.

(01:23:32):
Right to jail right away. The forest was the last hope for
the encampment's residents, manyof whom were living in broken
down RV's and cars. Shelters in nearby Bend, where
the average home price is nearly$800,000, are at capacity.
And rent, of course, is increasingly unaffordable.
So what are they supposed to do?They can't afford to move.

(01:23:54):
They can't afford to buy a house.
They're not allowed to legally sleep on the streets.
We're now in there. Like, where do they want these
people to go? All right, a year ago this June,
Grants Pass V Johnson, the Supreme Court's billionaire
backed justices, ruled that the local governments can

(01:24:14):
criminalize people for sleeping outside even if there's no
available shelter. All right, today, a person who
works full time and earns a minimum wage cannot afford a
safe place to live almost anywhere in the country.
Federal minimum wage has remained stagnant at 7/25 an
hour since 2009 and rent is now unaffordable for half of all

(01:24:36):
tenants. Ridiculous.
Not everybody works minimum wage.
Most minimum minimum wage jobs are not even full time 40 hours
a week. They have to cobble multiple
minimum wage jobs together just to even make 40 hours.
Check out other words. I'll put this link in.

(01:24:58):
Here's the big distraction of the week.
I hope you weren't paying attention, All right?
Elon Musk said something everyone's known for years.
Everybody freak out, be distracted from whatever's
coming next, because it's probably going to be big if they
pull this one out. It's on a swivel, fam.
I wrote this three days ago. Has anything big happened since
then? Couple of things.

(01:25:23):
Always an Archer reference. Classic misdirection, all right?
Both are majorly connected to Epstein, as our friend Phil
points out. Shout out to Phil, OK?
And how it might all end up being for Peter Thiel's benefit,
because snow hippos predicting that the falling out of this is

(01:25:44):
going to be JD Van sent a present which very male may well
be accurate. This could all be a setup to
make Trump look unhinged and authoritarian and JD Vance look
like the reasonable one, which is why he's going on controlled
opposition podcasts like Theo Von Mom.

(01:26:05):
I'm sorry I'm watching smart people fall for the drama and
get wrapped up in the distraction of the back and
forth. We all knew this was designed to
be blown up for maximum PR valueat some point, and it was.
So congratulations to all these assholes for creating the
distraction that they intended to create so that people weren't

(01:26:26):
weren't paying attention to the bombs that were being dropped on
Gaza or the bombs that are beingdropped on Beirut or Jelani with
what's going on in Syria exterminating Alawite Christians
or the failed peace talks that are happening in Ukraine, Turkey
over Ukraine, Russia. Oh, yeah.
By the way, Ukraine attack had aterrorist attack all over

(01:26:49):
Russia. And then Russia retaliated with
a drone attack. And of course, Ukraine cried
about that and acted like they didn't do anything to deserve
it. Or, you know, they tried to blow
up the perch. They tried to blow up the bridge
that goes to to Crimea. OK, Again, they failed.
Russia's shown an incredible amount of restraint multiple

(01:27:13):
times, of course, but they'll never cop to that.
A lot of distractions that wouldhave gotten maximum PRV on top
of the fact that what's happening with the flotilla and
what's happening in Gaza and with levelling the and and
taking the West Bank. By the way, there's no Hamas in
the West Bank yet Israel is still ethnically cleansing,

(01:27:35):
demolishing houses, basically following the exact same
playbook that they followed in Gaza.
But they're not using a justification of an October 7th.
They're just doing it. And they're just doing it
because Trump's not going to stop them.
That's what Miriam Adelson gave him all that money for.
Yep. So fuck Trump, fuck Elon, fuck

(01:27:57):
Israel, fuck distractions, fuck ICE, fuck the cops, fuck them
all and fuck Bernie Sanders. That's right, the shepherd of
hopes. Burn it down, I say, burn his
ass down. Burn it down that that sell out
motherfucker who won't even mention genocide.

(01:28:17):
All right, Disgusting. And then of course, we have our
friends still fighting cancer and and that needs some help.
I was going to bring Halo Benson's Go Fund Me this week
because her daughter had got into some legal trouble, Totally
random and innocent. Just took a trip to Florida with
some dude that she didn't know. Turns out, oh, he's a drug

(01:28:39):
trafficker. The guy got pulled over and the
the whole story. She's going to put up a new go
fund me on Tuesday for the bail fund.
She needs about 2200 bucks. Anything anybody can do at Halo
Benson? Halo Benson, another one of the
best of us. These are all by the way,
Assange supporters and fucked upstuff is happening to now.
These are people that sacrificedthemselves for years.

(01:29:00):
By the way, Halo still sends me postcards to mail out to the to
all the the the members of Senate and they're so they're
they're already addressed and they're stamped and all you
literally have to do is write something on it and drop it in
the mailbox. An incredible person her her
daughter got got caught up in this.
But before we get to to Halo, Shanda has certainly still needs

(01:29:26):
some help. We still have a $5000 goal
there. She's got 1100 raised toward
that. It helps her pay her bills while
she's been fighting cancer. She can't work still.
She gets tired and fatigued. You know, she went through
chemo, went through radiation, went through hell, and also did
all the natural remedies as well.
Fuck cancer by all, by all means.

(01:29:47):
So anything you can do help Shanna there also Anna Marie.
I don't see that number have gone up since last week, which
I'm sorry to see and sad to see,but I get everybody's struggling
and it's it's tough times for everyone right now.
Love our love to our brother Andrew Zigman Smith, who's Anna
Marie's dad. Andrew was one of the Co

(01:30:08):
founders for the action for Assange show and again,
incredible protester, activist on behalf of Julian Assange
press freedom and and freedom ofliberty.
He's he's a big liberty guy. I'm I'm down.
So anything again that you can do to help Anna Marie?
Now Chandon's partner, Oz the boomer.

(01:30:32):
He does not have a GoFundMe, butthat's our brother Oz.
We love Oz to death and and to life.
We want us to stay alive and to stay around.
And he could use some help as well.
So yeah, stay away from my chickens Oz, you know, and it's
great and powerful Oz he is. He is great and powerful, but
stay away from my chickens Oz. He's got to stay away from those

(01:30:54):
chickens. So if you can drop him a, a, a
Co fee co-fee.com/oz the boomer,OZ the boomer, all one word, you
could drop him 5-10 bucks. Pick up a monthly subscription
as well to to support love to our brother Oz Anything we can
do to support everybody right now is struggling and needs some
help. So any, every, everything, every

(01:31:17):
dollar helps. indynewsnow.com, like I said, is a news site that
I built with help from our friend Josh over at White Hat
Productions. I think that's still the name of
his company. I don't remember what the latest
iteration is. He'll have to put a link to it
down below. All right, but this is a news
aggregator site that you can nowlook by category to look for

(01:31:41):
articles. If you just want to look for
articles and read articles and look for articles to read, here
are articles that are published from sub stacks as well as from
Electronic Intifada and a few other larger publications.
Caitlin Johnstone, our friend, the Islamic Marxist near post.
I am, son. Where'd you find this?

(01:32:03):
I have set a filter so that we're not publishing Bob's list.
I'm not a fan of Bob's list. It's really just amplifying
corporate media. And I've called them out on that
too. Podcasts.
We do have a feature podcast, which is, oh, this one, by the
way, from Memorial Day. We also have a bunch of other
podcasts that you know and love.New episodes are included here.

(01:32:25):
We have their RSS feed and this will link right to the podcast
so you can download and listen to it right on their site.
We also have videos, so we've tapped into Rumble pages to be
able to display Rumble live, live streams and videos that are
uploaded to different channels. So that's progressive truth

(01:32:46):
seekers. And then you've got Macro
Aggressions with Charlie Robinson and there's Inn over
there on The Rumbles. We've also got Who's that the
Duran Duran Duran, the Reflex and everybody Grand Theft World
Watch a new Atlas with Brian Britellic.
A lot of creators, some you might not have even heard of.

(01:33:06):
And that's the idea is we want to have a large mix of
independent voices that bring different perspectives, but ones
that we that that makes sense. They're not just talking shit.
They're not Trump sycophants, they're not duopoly Sims.
We're not here for that crap. All right.
And and then of course, we have Watch Live, which you can do

(01:33:29):
right now over on any news.now.com/live and Watch.
Here's our show. There it is.
Hey, there we are live right there.
So you can watch that live whenever we are.
And now Reef's waving in. In a second you'll see a wave.
There's a little bit of a delay.First he's taking a hit and then
he'll look up and he'll wave andwe'll see that on the screen

(01:33:52):
maybe. Good.
That's weird. OK, I guess it's a little bit
more delayed than we thought. All right.
Yeah, I think it normally is. Finally, new shop who'd is now
on on any News Now there is a shop link under Keep the News

(01:34:14):
Free, which is where you can also contribute with credit card
and any method that you can think of.
But there's also the old shop embedded here, so you can
purchase any of the old items there.
But we are moving towards a new shop that Big Frog Promotions
put up. OK, that's got the indie
T-shirt. I didn't put that on the on on

(01:34:36):
the old shop. So you've got an indie T-shirt,
men's and ladies as well as tanktops, sweatshirts.
You've got indie beanies and iron and beanies.
T-shirts start at like 20 bucks.So I think there might even be a
$19.00 T-shirt, $19.00 tank tops, American tradition with
Jessie Jett tank top. There you go.

(01:34:58):
My dial doesn't go to delicate. So by all means pick up one of
these as well. I'll put the link for that in
the description after the show. I know I put up a bunch of
Gofundmes, but one more time before you're, if you're able to
at a means, please support the media you want to see.
And you can do that by Cash App,Dollar sign Indie News Network,

(01:35:19):
co-fee.com/indynews networkpaypal.meslashindynewsnetworkandover@innnewsletter.com
or at indymediatoday.com or overat indynews.now.com.
All right, so we, we made it. Yes, Kavashari Kate, love for
Oz, We love Oz. Everybody loves Oz, all right,

(01:35:45):
Yeah. Spot of prostate cancer.
Nothing like Shayna. Yep, Yep, Yep.
There he is. Oh, there's Oz.
What's up, bro? OK, Boomer ice.
All right. Good to see everyone.
Cowboy Kitty says fuck cancer and I can't agree more.
Max, RJ and everybody. Good to see everybody in the

(01:36:05):
fam. We are going to get to boats
smashing into other boats. We're going to start that on on
time at midnight Eastern. And yeah, I think that's that's
just about all I I had to say for tonight.
Fuck Israel, fuck cancer, fuck Trump, fuck Elon, fuck them all.
Bye. Bye Israel.

(01:36:27):
Have a good night. Support independent media.
We need it more than ever. See you at Boats.
Everybody love you. Bye bye.
We are funny. No, we just fucking lost the
stream. I think I liked it better being

(01:36:54):
blind when I couldn't read between the lions and when I
couldn't see the cracks in the structure that lay bare before
me the whole time. I think I liked it better back
when I suspended disbelief and swallow in pride.
I thought I knew the difference in the red from the blue, but

(01:37:16):
they both bleed are so dry. They both bleed are so dry.
My favorite songs don't hit the same way.
I get to the end of a 4 minute track and I'm only looking back
thinking what did they actually say?
I guess this isn't such an awfulplace.

(01:37:40):
Is that what you want me to say?You'll prove it's possible to
sleep for days and they still think you're right here away.
The cost of a living isn't much to me, but God, it's so hard to
say. And we're meant to do everything

(01:38:01):
I said. Were you safe?
Will you save? Will you save?

(01:38:29):
Fresh off the mass is the brand new cancerous growth who has
come here to vie for your vote.
