(00:05):
Who are these people? Who are these people?
What's up, everybody? Hi.
Holy shit. It's Sunday night again.
We're here again because it's. How do we miss that?
And it's Sunday night. Although we missed last week, I

(00:26):
actually decided to take a nightoff.
Well, sort of. We did boats so but we decided
not to do any horrible, fucking awful news for one week and give
ourselves a little bit of a break.
I know nobody else gets gets breaks, the Palestinians.
That's true. Palestinians don't get breaks.
But we everyone needs a little break sometimes.

(00:46):
So we took a little one last week.
We're back and I'm fired up. I'm angry about a bunch of shit.
I think a lot of people are angry.
It's been last night we did Nobody wants to work anymore
with himbo and Lily joined us. That was a lot of fun.
Thank you to Lily for for joining us.

(01:07):
She said she had a good time andwould would be happy to come
back and do it again. Yep.
Hey, how about that? And nobody wants to work
anymore. Yeah, that's the show that we
were doing last night. It's been a while.
It's been like almost a year since we've done 1.
And I think the the plan is to try to do 1 every every couple
of weeks. I think every week we just burn

(01:29):
out. We got too much going on.
But I think if you do it every couple weeks or even once a
month, it doesn't get as stale. And you know the it's easier to
find topics and things to cover in between.
What's up with you man? How you been?
How you know stuffing things? Well, got a workout in, did all

(01:52):
the stuff. There were fights from Paris,
but of course I missed that in the middle of freaking afternoon
yesterday. Yeah, I caught a couple of them.
Anything. Decent.
Yeah, apparently the whole card was pretty good.
Like only two decisions like that.
OK. I might go download it and check

(02:13):
the whole thing, but well, tonight.
Tonight, we're going to talk about, of course, fuck Israel,
because every week but their murderous rage continues in
Gaza, West Bank. There's a bunch of stuff that
we're not even covering. There's so much there to cover.

(02:34):
We are going to talk about the bombing of Gaza City and we're
going to talk about the new planto annex and really the the big
push now for West Bank, which now we're talking, they're
talking about 80% of West Bank and they're making their final
push to get rid of everybody in Gaza.
Some of the video and scenery has been horrific, Sean.

(02:58):
We were talking about UFC, but Sunday night, but Saturday,
Angels talking about boxing. Canelo is doing some kind of a
fight, but we were talking aboutUFC.
Crawford. Which was in Paris, Yeah.
And they're both undefeated, I believe Canelo and Terrence.
So we, we do like to watch, you know, the vicariously watch

(03:19):
other people beat the shit out of each other because we don't
we, we don't do that. I I don't advocate for violence,
but I know Reef Reef is not necessarily on the same side
necessarily, but. Yeah, I'll advocate for it, but
yeah, yeah, certainly. Enjoy watching other people who
choose violence fight each otherand.

(03:39):
Even consensual. Even level playing field,
correct. All right, so that's important.
But yeah, we're going to talk about Israel.
We're going to talk about KilmarAbrego Garcia and all the
narratives surrounding him rightnow, Phil And then my least but
somewhat favorite topic to talk about right now is how badly

(04:01):
Substack is fucking up on a weekly basis.
So I, I'm not very happy with them.
I've been having like a little back and forth via the support
and now they seem to be trying to sort of help.
But it took like like really almost harassment level stuff to

(04:22):
get them to even respond. And that that needs to be, you
know, and then there's a whole thing about what's happening
with what am I, what am I talking about?
What's happening with? I just blanked out.

(04:44):
Wow, what are you talking about?Are you OK?
You, Sir. Hello.
Have you been smoking marijuana?Are we still here?
Are we still live? Yes we are.
But no about about Substack shutting down somebody's account
and removing their access to alltheir subscribers, taking their

(05:06):
publication away with no notification and almost Twitter
like random fucking rules that are turning around and telling
people, well, we're reviewing itthree days, no access to notes,
no access to and we'll, we'll get into all that.
It's a crazy, another censorshipthing that's happening either by

(05:29):
the tech Bros or by Stripe or bysome kind of an AI glitch.
And I've had a big issue with Substack and their use of AI and
the amount of AI that they've been trying to push on people.
But before we get into it, I want to ask people to support
the media they want to see. We did get a new annual

(05:52):
subscriber this this week to indymediatoday.com.
A sillier thank you, really, it really helps.
There's tons of ways to do that.Easiest ways Cash App Dollar
Sign Indy News Network co-v.com/indy News Network will
pop something up on screen during the stream.
You go to PayPal dot B slash anynews network and avoid any fees

(06:13):
and us paying any fees if you doit as friends and family.
We we are live right now at any news.now.com.
That's a website that we own andhost.
We self host. We live stream there and there's
a Stripe plug in to be able to support the network.
And then at INA newsletter dot, we got that too.
INN newsletter.com is over on sub stack and indymediatoday.com

(06:36):
is over on sub stack. Both of them are there.
You can subscribe monthly or annually over there or subscribe
for free because you'll get a bunch of newsletters and updates
and live streams. And again, we're now we're live
streaming to sub stack, so you'll get alerts and
notifications when we go live and that type of stuff there
too. And you can watch ad free.
Everything on sub stack is ad free, at least for now.

(06:58):
That's allegedly what's coming. We'll see.
That's why I asked to support usoutside of the platforms if
possible. We don't know what's going to
happen when and it's a lot easier to to do that separately.
All right, I have got first story about Kilmar Abrego Garcia

(07:20):
and we've been talking about himfor too long.
Honestly, this case should be dismissed.
He should be home with his family and he shouldn't be
worrying about this shit anymore.
But he's got cases. He's doing all the right things,
and the Trump administration is determined to persecute this
guy. So I grabbed this almost two
weeks ago and this guy is still like back in jail now.

(07:44):
And Arturo Dominguez from Decolonized journalism, I
actually became a paid subscriber of Decolonized
journalism. I, I really like what this guy
does. I support independent media with
my wallet as well as, you know, on the show.
And we've used enough of his articles and I'm comfortable
with who he is based on, you know, how he is on notes and the

(08:06):
people he goes live with every. That's, that's the kind of
person that I think we should belearning from.
Plus his coverage on Venezuela and on Secot and on what's
happening in the Latino community is invaluable.
So, you know, he puts out this article about a week and a half
ago debunking DHS's claims aboutKilmar Abrego Garcia, that

(08:29):
despite the courts slamming the administration for how poorly
it's treated him, the White House continues to make false
claims about this guy. Like they have to lie about him
because they have nothing. They genuinely have nothing.
Everything is old. Everything has been debunked.
Everything has been refuted. So he starts considering how

(08:53):
often Trump likes to sue people for saying things that aren't
wholly positive about him or hisadministration.
Their duplicity in blatantly making false claims about
migrants and citizens alike cannot be overemphasized.
It's a it's a tactic, all right?There's no more obvious case of
this than how far the admin is going to defame Kilmar Abrego

(09:13):
Garcia, who fled El Salvador fearing for his and his family's
life when he was just a teenager.
Again, reminder of his back story that he came to the US in
2011 at 16 years old after members of the barrio, the SE
Ocho gang in El Salvador, threatened to kill him and rape
his sisters. That's real.

(09:34):
He eventually sat early in Maryland, where he lived with
his brother for many years without any legal trouble.
In 2019, however, he was arrested for loitering while
outside of a Home Depot looking for work.
Yeah, I've never heard of anybody doing that, a migrant or
anything. It was then that he that a now
disgraced police officer pointedhim out as an MS13 gang member.

(09:57):
Now, he's not. When lawyers demanded to see the
evidence against Garcia, they were informed that a police
report was never filed and that the officer who made the claim
has been suspended for leaking information to a local sex
worker. Garcia never faced charges.
Meanwhile, after many court hearings and appeals, an

(10:18):
immigration judge ruled that he wasn't available eligible for
asylum. The judge also ruled that
despite issuing a deportation order, Garcia could not be
deported. Right.
So he's considered a stateless refugee because it's not safe
for him to be sent back to his country of origin, El Salvador,

(10:40):
and both the US and international law protect him
from being deported. One major issue here is that
Garcia is no law. He no longer has the protection
that comes with a pending case in immigration court and the and
the administration is attemptingto find a so-called safe third
country to send him to. And because the admin is cruel

(11:04):
they want to send him to Uganda.What was that?
Uganda? They want to send this third guy
to Uganda and not another country that the US has safe
third country agreements with like Canada or Paraguay where he
would be safe even after he evenafter he was detained, summarily

(11:26):
deported and incarcerated at Secot in El Salvador.
The admin has tried every trick it can muster and failed to have
the courts rule in its favor after being released from Secot
and later incarcerated and held for no valid reason.
That was in Kentucky. The courts demanded that he be
released based on the laws and afforded to him by the US

(11:48):
Constitution, even as a non citizen, even as a refugee, even
as an immigrant. That hasn't stopped the White
House. On August 22nd, Homeland
Security Secretary Christy Noem,the dog shooter, condemned
Garcia's release using the same inflammatory language, calling
him an MS13 gang member, human trafficker, wife Peter and child

(12:12):
predator. You've been gnomed.
Without citing any evidence or continuing the site evidence
that has been debunked or thrownout in court due to its
frivolous nature. So activist labeled German
judges have attempted to obstruct our law enforcement
every step of the way, and we'removing the worst of the worst

(12:36):
legal aliens from our country. Why would they want to step in
to to do that? Really.
She doesn't like break that downon its surface, what elected or
judge? First of all, that's a that's a
lawyer who either got elected orappointed, but they've got a

(12:57):
career. They're a judge.
It's not like they're just a schnuck working at fucking Home
Depot, all right? Not that people at Home Depot
were any less than anything, butthis person went through
schooling and qualifications andsworn oath to the Constitution
on top of all of that like she'sallegedly did.
Right? But for whatever reason the

(13:20):
judge is now obstructing law enforcement removing the worst
illegal aliens from our country.First of all, the whole language
is disgusting and designed to inflamed and get the old people
very angry. And the rumble, rumble, rumble,
rumble, All right, that's exactly all it is.
Because they're not illegal and criminal illegal aliens.

(13:43):
The guy wasn't criminal and he wasn't illegal.
He just wasn't eligible for asylum.
Her evidence lies again with defunct, debunked information,
and she repeatedly continues to cite how a member of the Prince
George's County Police gang unitvalidated him as an MS13 gang
member while ignoring this testimony was thrown out.

(14:06):
She continues to cite the video that allegedly shows him as a
human trafficker, but fails to acknowledge that making such a
claim based on a dubious video doesn't equate to evidence or
guilt. Attorneys question the
credibility of people who provided the statements against
him because they're facing a host of criminal charges and
provided statements as part of aplea agreement, so they sold him

(14:28):
out in order to get themselves alesser charge.
Nome also continues to use allegations as evidence of
criminality, such as old and no longer valid restraining orders
against him, while also allegingthat, according to court
filings, which not true, he solicited nude photographs of a
minor. However, she only cited a New

(14:50):
York Post article again, which doesn't provide any evidence to
support such a claim, but ratherhearsay.
This one was leaked by Pam Bondi, Attorney General.
All right. Interestingly, the allegations
are made by the so-called Co conspirators in the soliciting

(15:11):
photos case, which Nome continues to cite publicly.
I'm dropping frames. What the fuck?
All right, Nome continues to cite publicly are not.
In dropping signal. Are not in the indictment
against. No, we just lost the fucking
stream. Aim it.

(15:32):
And it's back. Dude, what's going on your
Internet we're. Having another storm here I
think tonight. Yeah.
Anyway, the allegations, the allegations made by the
so-called Co conspirators in thesoliciting photos case, which
she continues to cite publicly, are not in the indictment

(15:52):
against Garcia and his wife slammed the White House for
using the restraining orders against him, saying they're not
a justification for Ice's action.
They're not. This hasn't deterred the White
House either. All right?
So God damn it. All right.
On August 25th. No, that's a disconnect.

(16:22):
That's a reconnect. Let's see if it comes back.
What the? Fuck is going on like I don't.
All right. On August 25th, no one bragged
about taking Garcia back into custody and we're losing it

(16:42):
again. God damn it.
I don't know if we're ever goingto be able to do this.
Stream Ushraba three times. You know what?

(17:11):
My Internet reset yesterday because of a power outage, so
it's not that. Yeah.
Maybe we'll actually be able to connect now you.
Don't have a bad signal. Maybe, I don't know, maybe maybe
it's back now. It looks like it's getting
stronger, OK. On August 25th, Noam bragged

(17:35):
about taking Garcia back into custody during an immigration
check in and said he'd be processed for removal to Uganda.
The courts have so far preventedhis deportation pending an
evidentiary hearing, but it's unclear if that will hold.
Well today I saw law enforcementarrested Kilmore Abrego Garcia

(17:56):
and are processing him for deportation.
President Trump is not going to allow this illegal alien.
Fuck off. All right.
Who's an MS13 gang member? No he's not a human trafficker.
No he's not. So serial domestic abuser.
Now she's tacking the word serial onto it.
And child predator. Also not true.

(18:19):
They just threw every single, why not call him an anti Zionist
and a Palestinian and a Hamas member to terrorize American
citizens any longer? Unbelievable.
All right, all of it. Later on Monday, DHS came out
swinging against any lawmakers who pointed out how far the

(18:39):
White House is going to manufacture crimes to make
Latino immigrants seem like hardened criminals.
Nohman, her staff continued to use the same accusations and
allegations against Garcia without providing any evidence
of these supposed crimes. Crimes at the courts have
repeatedly said never occurred. Based on the scant evidence that

(18:59):
they have provided, the far right and DHS have been hung up
on calling him a Maryland man instead of their preferred
hateful language of calling him an illegal alien.
DHS also included in its press release a list of sanctuary
politicians who continue to defend this known MS13 gang.

(19:22):
RIP again. He he throws out the all the
terms again using the inflammatory language.
Baseless accusations that'll inevitably lead to lawmakers
being targeted by extremists whosupport what the administration
is doing despite the facts. Awesome.
Garcia hasn't done anything wrong, even if he did, like many

(19:43):
other migrants who fell on the wrong side of the law and did
their time, they paid their debtto society according to the laws
of this country and the court system that upholds those laws.
Additional punishment, especially being sent to third
countries with poor human rightsrecords, serves one purpose,

(20:03):
intentional cruelty inflicted onLatinos and black people.
So this is personal for Arturo for sure.
Whether you're an immigrant or not, the White House doesn't
seem to care. And that's The thing is that it
just starts there. It doesn't end there.
We all know this. All right, I think we're back

(20:23):
and with a stronger signal now, So hopefully I think we can go
there. All right.
That again was Arturo Dominguez decolonized journalism.
Sorry, it was a little choppy. I'll have to fix that in the in
the edit for the clip thing, but.
Fix it in post. And for so, oh, look at that.
We actually lost a stream and now it's a second stream.

(20:45):
So we might have lost it like onI don't know where like bit.
Shoot or something? I don't care.
YouTube's still fine. YouTube's good, Rumble's good,
that's all that really matters. Rumble usually holds it pretty
well. Sub stack is going OK.
I see everyone hi everybody overon sub stack so.
Everyone do the bucket region good Internet dance.

(21:08):
It's a lot more. Than it would make it better.
It's happening, obviously to a lot more than just than just
Kilmar Garcia. I don't they still don't care
what their end goal for all thisis.
Like, yeah, it plays to your base, but like then what?
You know, like when it when it used to be like Trump tried to

(21:32):
court those like groups of people, you know, you know, he's
like, fuck it, get out. We're we're deporting everybody.
I guess what I don't get. It's just like it just like a
weird right wing fucking and we're going to we're going to
deport you get out of our country.
It's like, OK, you know? He's given them what they've

(21:56):
been. Asking.
There's some other motive that I've not.
Yeah, I'm not fucking figured out well.
This is the video that I saw today.
Masked men disappear U.S. citizens in an unmarked van in
Chicago for protesting ICE. Who are you?
Where are you taking them? People cry out, you're
kidnapping them. Agents attacked at least three

(22:18):
protesters using batons, pinningthem face down into concrete,
according to witness Bianca Pais.
ICE later confirmed that it was their agents who detained the
protesters, claiming they were impeding federal operations.
All three individuals were finally released without charges
in downtown Chicago. So if they were impeding federal

(22:39):
operations, wouldn't they have been charged with something?
Here's the video. Something.
No, you're charged with impeding.
This is not a charge. Fucking punch that gangly ass
FBI agent in his. Dick, look at that, picking them

(23:07):
up off their feet and loading them into a fucking van.
Black van, you cannot do this. Wow, she.
I mean, you're not really helping.
Seriously. Like the way you're yelling like
that, it does not make you sound.

(23:29):
I mean, it's something any. Less unhinged, but I get it.
No, fuck that. And that's happening all over
the country right now, not just in Chicago.
It's happened in DC. We've seen it.
That happened to Robicio's Turk Basically it happened to Mahmoud
Khalil in the middle of the night and it's been happening

(23:49):
more and more often. So that's fucked up.
We certainly don't get, don't get love from the YouTube
algorithm for that. So if you're able to and a
means, please support the media you want to see.
The easiest ways to do that are Cash App that goes right to my
phone, Dollar Sign Indy News Network.

(24:10):
Then we've got co-fee.com/indy News Network.
We got PayPal dot me slash Indy news Network.
We got indie news.now.com. That's our website.
We're live right there right nowon the live page.
But there's also a ton of news that isn't just our stuff.
And then we've got the sub stacks at IN newsletter.com and
indie mediatoday.com. So that was, yeah, DHS is not

(24:37):
doing the nicest things, but we all knew that that was coming.
We've been reporting on them disappearing people off the
streets. Now it's coming that they're
doing it to the protesters. And now they're they're being
aided by the local police in these city takeovers.
And of course, I saw something about the bootlicking mayor of
DC thanking Trump for carjackings being down 87%.

(25:01):
Yeah, travel and tourism is downlike 87%.
My guess would be too, you know,Freedom is down 100% but
obviously she doesn't give a shit about that.
Hi everybody for hanging out. No, they really don't.
No, they really don't. No, I just like, I still don't

(25:25):
get it. Like, OK, like, yeah, we got to
put the fear fear back into people so they stop saying shit,
but like, they're not going to. Good luck.
Why is that not so? All right, there we go.
I got John H here. What's up, John?

(25:47):
John. The Accord Lord is here.
I'm trying to see how. Many.
Oh, and it's giving me all kindsof errors.
Because pipes. Something happened with with the
twatters and OK, whatever the chat works and that's all that
really matters. I think the chat works.

(26:09):
OK, good. You are here.
Awesome. Good to see you John.
Thank you for for hanging out for sharing the stream.
Everybody share the stream. If you can share it to Twitter,
share it to Facebook. Fred Edward has been doing a
kick ass job of sharing it everywhere and that's how we get
more people seeing the show so and seeing these perspectives

(26:32):
that are buried in corporate media.
Unfortunately, Arturo is not invited to speak anywhere near
corporate media, for example, nor is the our next contestant
up on the feud. I saw Rod Professor, one of my
favorite speakers and she's beencorrecting all the headlines,

(26:55):
which are is amazing. Western media will always give
Israel the benefit of propagandatalking about genocide.
Obviously, for nearly two years,Western media's normalized
Israeli war crimes and the humanized Palestinians made
Gaza's ongoing genocide. They've been complicit

(27:17):
whitewashing and we've talked about this at at length, but I
just think she puts it beautifully.
Oh. God, blood on the phone looking
at. On the fucking phone on.
A lock screen? Yep.
All right. Language isn't neutral.

(27:38):
It shapes the way we we perceiveglobal events with profound
implications for public opinion.In the context of the Gaza
genocide, the discourse displayed deployed by Western
media is far from objective. Do you denounce Hamas?
What is it? What do you say, Pete?
Piers Morgan? How about Do you denounce

(27:59):
Israel? It often contributes to the
dehumanization of Palestinians while reinforcing pro Israel
narratives. This bias isn't just about what
is reported, it's about what isn't, but also about how the
story is told. Israel's recent bombing of
Nasser Hospital provides A striking illustration of how

(28:21):
media coverage and normalize warcrimes.
Now, if you don't know what happened, she's going to
describe it. But Reef and Colin covered this
on INN News. This was the double tap.
So they bombed the hospital and then they waited and sent more
bombs to kill the rescue workersand the journalists that covered
the bombing. For nearly two years, we've

(28:44):
witnessed a clear pattern of mainstream media coverage on
Gaza. Israeli actions are often
described using terms like self-defense or targeting Hamas,
framing them as justified, and Israeli officials are treated as
legitimate sources for the factsregarding all events.
On the other hand, Palestinian sources like journalists,

(29:06):
witnesses and doctors are often doubted, and the historical
context of their systematic systematic oppression under
Israeli occupation is often absent from the reporting, like
it all happened in a vacuum. This linguistic imbalance gapes
how the issue of Palestinian liberation is even understood,

(29:27):
positioning Israel as the victimand Palestinians as aggressors,
regardless of the power disparity between the two and
wealth disparity by the way. So this describes Israel as the
cry bullying victim. For decades, Western media has
perpetuated the skewed narrativeand consistently minimized

(29:48):
Palestinian suffering while amplifying Israeli victimhood.
A January 2024 report from The Intercept offered evidence of
the systematic bias in West in major Western outlets such as
New York Times, Washington Post,LA Times.
Fuck the Intercept, too. The quantitative.

(30:09):
Analysis. All of them.
The quantitative analysis revealed that emotive words like
slaughter or massacre were almost exclusively used to
describe Israeli civilian debts while adopting more neutral
terms for Palestinian civilian debts.
This imbalance isn't an accident.

(30:31):
It's a deliberate effort by the media to distort the reality of
the conflict and shape public perception to diminish the scale
of Israel's violence against Palestinians.
The corporate media's coverage in the aftermath of Israel's
most recent horrific attack on Nasser Hospital provides another
egregious example of this calculated bias.

(30:53):
The attack reminder, which killed at least 20 people,
including journalists and rescueworkers, was part of a broader
pattern of Israeli assaults on Gaza's healthcare
infrastructure. Also something that we have been
talking about at length for two years.
We've been bringing stories of them marketing healthcare

(31:13):
workers, targeting ambulances, targeting hospitals, kidnapping
Dr. Hussam Abu Safia in December, and free that guy now,
all right. Despite overwhelming evidence,
Western media outlets initially prioritized official Israeli

(31:34):
statements that tried to soften public outrage by calling the
bombing a mistake, running headlines that framed the
incident as a tragic mishap. This form of reporting, which
downplays Israeli crimes and legitimizes its violence, is not
new. However, what made the hospital

(31:56):
bombing particularly notable wasthe release of the footage
showing that it was hit hit in adouble tap attack, clearly
targeting the rescue workers in broad daylight who were
responding to the initial strike.
And of course, there's no accountability.
As footage of Israel's direct strike on rescue workers spread

(32:17):
across social media, yielding public outcry, it was evident
that this was not an isolated incident.
All right, we know that. But a deliberate targeting of
journalists and medical personnel, another one, instead
of condemning the attack, is an obvious war crime.
Western media echoed Israeli claims again when Israel later

(32:41):
stated that the hospital was targeted due to a Hamas camera.
And they really published that in fucking Reuters.
Hamas camera being present. Fucking dumbest shit.
A claim so outlandish it's almost laughable.
The media unquestionably reported this absurdity as a
justification for the attack, and thanks to Reuters, it was

(33:02):
disseminated to every major outlet in the in the world.
By accepting and reporting Israel's explanation, the media
helped reinforce the narrative that bombing hospitals was
somehow acceptable in the context of targeting Hamas or a
so-called Hamas camera. This failure to challenge

(33:24):
Israeli claims is emblematic of how Western media regularly
parrots official accounts, even when they defy basic morality
and logic, just like we talked about in the last story with.
Arturo, go ahead. They, they, they sent 3 fucking
missiles. You need 3 missiles to kill a
camera? Like no, like, we're not buying

(33:51):
this fucking bullshit anymore. We're done.
Fuck that shit here. We go again, we're dropping
frames. We're dropping frames and
hopefully we won't lose the stream again.
God damn it, so much for that idea.

(34:15):
Oh boy, this is fun. OK, so it wasn't until after the
initial wave of coverage, which sought to then absolve Israel of
yet another war crime, that someoutlets began to report the
truth. All right.
An investigation by the New YorkTimes contradicted Israel's

(34:36):
account and rationale for the attack.
Later coverage from the the British Bullshit company and,
you know, County News Network revealed that Israel had
attacked Nasser Hospital more than the two initial strikes
originally reported. As Reef just said, it was
actually three strikes. Though the later reports refuted

(35:00):
Israel's explanation, they stilldidn't employ the language of
war crimes and the damage had already been done.
That's the idea is to report thewrong thing first, so the
perception is out there and thencorrected on page 17 later on.
Indeed, after flooding the airwaves in the wake of the
attacks with Israel's ridiculousexplanations, Israeli talking

(35:23):
points had already become entrenched in the public
discourse. That's the idea.
That's their game is to get people believing the nonsense
and then be like, yeah, but that's not really true and
bubble and then retract it. But already, again, what's the
story? That a lie can make its way
around the world before the truth has a chance to put its
pants on. Ayuba Ahmad.

(35:45):
On, on, on Substack, welcome to the stream.
Thank you for all you do, man. Really.
I appreciate you. Even Reuters, which had its own
reporter killed in this attack. Not just and not just this
attack. I know.
Lebanon Reuters failed to acknowledge the deliberate

(36:07):
nature of the Israeli strikes. Instead, their headlines again
repeated Israeli statements asserting that journalists were
not the intended targets. This despite overwhelming
evidence that Israel has consistently targeted and killed
their Palestinian colleagues andemployees in Gaza, resulting in

(36:29):
a staggering number of casualties among the press alone
and their families, by the way. So now she's talking here about
propaganda over truth. This, again is Assal Rod,
Professor Assal Rod for writing for the New Arab.
She's great. The media's initial reporting
and subsequent failure to hold Israel truly accountable

(36:53):
highlights a disturbing trend inwhich Western outlets choose
Israeli propaganda over the truth, often downplaying and
normalizing blatant violations of international law.
As such, the media allows the continued dehumanization of
Palestinians and the normalization of Israel's
atrocities, even genocide and ethnic cleansing and, and, and,

(37:17):
and baby murder and starvation, forced starvation and drought.
The Nasser hospital bombing is not an aberration.
It's part of a larger pattern ofIsraeli aggression against
Gaza's civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, homes, and
schools. And now they're doing the same

(37:37):
thing in Lebanon, and they're doing the same thing in southern
Syria, too. These attacks are plainly war
crimes under international law. We've been calling that every
week. Yet Western media's refusal to
hold Israel accountable, or to even call their actions by their
appropriate name, is symptomaticof a deeper problem of how

(37:59):
Israel's oppression of Palestinians has been understood
in the Western world. Again, a lot of it is who owns
the fucking outlets, who's hiring the reporters and the
editors, and who are they loyal to and who are they being
influenced by? Look at what just happened with

(38:20):
David Ellison. We're going to talk about that
later on tonight at Skydance. Now looking to buy the Free
Press and put Barry Weiss in charge of CBS News potentially,
if maybe even all of CBS. Who knows.
But rather than immediately challenging Israel's account of
the Nasser hospital bombing and contextualizing it within the

(38:44):
larger story of the Gaza genocide, legacy media repeated
Israeli talking points again, helping to normalize the attack
as regrettable but inevitable part of war, not A1 sided
massacre. When was the last time you even
heard about any rockets or any return fire coming out of Gaza

(39:04):
anywhere? And how is this a battle?
Again, this ongoing bias in Western media coverage of Gaza
is not only about misreporting. It's also about complicity.
We're going to talk about complicity later on tonight when
we get to Matt Taibbi and shitting all over him.
When the media acts as stenographers for genocidal

(39:26):
states instead of defenders of truth, they become enablers that
of that very violence. Well, they also are funding and
providing air support and spy flight support and military
support and operational support and intelligence support.
So yes, they certainly are enablers of that very violence,

(39:47):
not just the media. Because the media acts as a
propaganda arm of the US government and the Israeli
government by normalizing war crimes, Western media is
culpable for them. I believe that there were media
that were indicted and hanged atNuremberg and I believe that
people like Piers Morgan, if we do have a Nuremberg style

(40:11):
hearing at at some point, the media like David Muir and all
the lead anchors for all the major networks that spouted this
stuff unquestioningly all need to go in front of that tribunal.
And they're having one by the way, right now called the Gaza
tribunal. I believe Jeremy Corbyn and all

(40:33):
the people that do these tribunals, there were several of
them about Julian Assange. I remember they had tribunals
all right, but that's just the first fuck Israel story.
We've got plenty of them tonight, a few of them not, not
too many because we're going to get the boats later on tonight.
I see U 1 NUDN 2. I don't know if you have that or

(40:55):
not. I don't know, but this one,
Israel is besieging Gaza City from three directions, pushing
the nearly million Palestinians still left currently sheltering
there towards southern Gaza. Still they're saying, Oh yeah,
the Gaza's population. How is it a genocide if they're
increasing? There's only a million people

(41:16):
left right now, according to this.
Yeah. Each military advance flattens
homes and infrastructure and itspath, threatening the erasure of
millennia old Gaza City. No, we got that happened and
displacing the people shelteringthere.
Most of the areas in southern Gaza which the military have

(41:38):
allocated for relocation are within no go zones or in areas
unsuitable for habitation. That's where they want people to
live. 1,000,000 people in like these little tiny patches of
land, these little areas, they're out of their fucking
minds. But that's not even really what
they want. They want to kill them all and

(42:00):
take all of the look at all that.
Orange look at go ahead if you if you notice there isn't any
fucking green ones in the north is there?
Nope. Like continually push them
further South? Anything set north north of the
Netserine corridor is now deemeda no go zone.

(42:23):
And they've already destroyed all of this area, as is their
plan. And this is where they're
shoving everybody who's left. And again, their plan is to push
them right into the Mediterranean or to get some
country to eventually take whoever's left.

(42:44):
But of course, the the the biggest.
They have a fucking no go zone right in front of Egypt so
they're not going that way. The big issue again, with
anybody taking whoever's left isA it's their fucking land and
they are never going to leave it, nor should they have to.
But B, if they do accept it, that means that they're

(43:04):
accepting Israel removing them from the land and stealing all
of it for themselves. Nobody's going to do that.
They're going to have to murder everybody there if they want to
take that land and then live with that and know throughout
history that that's what they had to do in order to do it and
then be conquered at some point because they had to do that.

(43:26):
Because that's how history's always worked.
It's just a matter of when, you know, at some point we are not
going to be the big bad swingingDick to defend them with a
military that's so big that anybody else in the world is
afraid to challenge it. And it may be 10 years or maybe
20 years. I'm, I'm hoping it's a lot
sooner than that, but we have noidea.

(43:47):
Again, our military is preparingfor China 2027.
We reported on that a year ago. We covered that one year.
Ago. So they're again pushing them
further and further into a smaller area.
Israeli troops are advancing toward Gaza City from three
directions, Kabali in the north,Shujaya in the east and most

(44:12):
recently, the net serene corridor in the South.
Right. This leaves Palestinians with
only one place to go toward the coast, along the AL Rasheed Road
and into the into southern Gaza.Like we saw here, right here.
They're pushing them out of GazaCity, and they're literally just
dropping bombs all over them. OK, let's see.

(44:34):
What. Yeah.
That's the one that you sent me.Oh, the leaflets.
Yeah. I couldn't believe this one.
They're dropping leaflets over Gaza City warning people to get
out and they're like, where are we supposed to fucking go?
That's literally. Look at that and.

(44:55):
They're like that's. Like what we did before fucking
Nagasaki. That's humane.
I believe I actually responded to this and be like, you know,
these monsters, where, where arethey supposed to go?
You know, dropping leaflets. Look at the first of all, the
buildings are all bombed out. They can barely live in them
anyway. They're practically

(45:18):
uninhabitable. And we just saw the map, right?
Like they're here. Where are they supposed to go
when they start dropping bombs? Well, they want them all to go
here and then they're probably going to drop a bomb on that
too. That would be my guess is their

(45:40):
plan. Yeah, I mean, it's just
continued fucking fish in a barrel.
He's going to make the barrel smaller, all right.
Now the other thing I wanted to bring before.
We words. Before we read the article about
what they're doing, is this thisflotilla thing?

(46:02):
Because they're they have sent amassive flotilla to try to
deliver aid and to break the blockade that Israel's been
pushing. This is a surfboard.
Is looking at us right now. How's it going?
Equipped with saddle, this is the the Israelis spying on the

(46:22):
flotilla. What is going on?
Is this thing driving? Itself is it?
Like a surfboard with * Lincoln cameras on it in the middle of
the ocean. Look at this.
Thing an AT black tip. It's got camera.
It's got a flare on it. Dude, this is the craziest thing
ever. Look, we've just found a thermal

(46:44):
camera and a star link on a paddle board, like some spy
software. It's not not like it's got a.
Propeller. It is, and I guarantee you
there's a drone operator somewhere.
There's more of them What? Yep, that's how they're

(47:05):
literally tracking this flotilla.
It's it's fucking crazy, man. It's absolutely insane.
Where's the thing I sent you earlier?
This one? Yeah, that's the one I wanted to
play. Greg Stoker.
He's actually on the boat. All right.

(47:25):
And he sums up exactly what's happening.
Really well, last minute to attach a veteran's vote to the
global Samud flotillas because we know first hand that as we
witnessed the final assault uponGaza City, which is sheltering
hundreds of thousands of civilians, half of whom are
children, this begins and ends with the United States empire.
We also know that Israel is not conducting a military operation

(47:48):
in Gaza City. It has no timeline, no
operational parameters, no cohesive battlefield plan beyond
saturation bombing every last high rise in the area, the
unachievable goal of recovering their hostages, prisoners of war
actually, since they're all military personnel through
military action, and the impossible strategic goals of
defeating resistance forces in the field and re establishing

(48:10):
military deterrence across West Asia.
None of those are going to happen.
This is a land grab. This is ethnic cleansing and
genocide in service to the capital interests of the US
empire and the transnational ruling elite.
This is what they have decided is normal real estate
opportunity of the Gaza Riviera,the untapped natural gas that
lies in the Gaza Marine Basin, the possibility of a new

(48:32):
waterway from the port of a Lot to northern Gaza to rival the
Suez Canal. All of this for them.
The Palestinians are in the way and there is no possibility of
moving ahead with these plans until they are all removed or
annihilated, as it's the only way to be sure that all
resistance is snuffed out. They're just playing for time.
Genocides take a long time to effectuate.

(48:55):
Starvation and disease can take like years as there's never
enough soldiers and never enoughbombs to kill millions of people
directly. And the brutal arithmetic of
this genocidal war. It's bad resource allocation and
it's bad for morale. You know the s s Einsatz group
and had the same problem in Poland in the 40s.
Therefore we are watching in horror the slow process of

(49:15):
famine, sickness and constant displacement under the guise of
evacuation orders. This is the modern day Trail of
Tears. So remember, Americans and
citizens of Europe, the same elites that are supported this
foreign policy in Palestine built entirely on a combination
of messianic ideology and capital accumulation, are the
same people that push for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and

(49:37):
are the same people crafting domestic policy in your own
homelands. Whatever they're willing to do
to Palestinians, they'll do to you.
So no one is safe until this is made to stop.
No one is going to be free untilPalestine is free.
That's just the beginning, OK? Because a better world is
possible, and we're already building it.
So as the Samud flotilla, it's asailed and international waters

(49:57):
trying to establish a humanitarian corridor to Gaza
amidst the siege of Gaza City. You need to decide what y'all
are going to do on the home front to try to bring this
insanity to an end. So think about it.
Got about two weeks and free Palestine the reason we
scrambled so hard last minute. That was a good damn video, man.
He nailed a ton of talking points in a very short amount of

(50:19):
time, which is why I felt it wasimportant to bring it.
He talked about the Ben Gurion Canal, he talked about the gas
that's under Gaza. He talked about a lot of the
stuff, you know, that half of them being children and he's at
least trying to do something. Again, we've talked about
flotillas and that they're performative in nature, you

(50:44):
know, there. What else do you do at this
point? So I guess, you know,
performative is better than standing around.
But, you know, stopping the weapons manufacturers and BDS is
also effective. You know, big, big time.
Make sure that you vote with your wallet, that you make sure

(51:06):
that the companies that you're soliciting and the goods that
you're buying are not supportinggenocide.
And there's a big list. So that's that's one way you can
do that. So he talked about what's
happening in Gaza City. I brought this Mondo Weiss
article. Airstrikes, explosive vehicles
and bulldozers cause insane destruction in Gaza City,

(51:28):
eyewitnesses and civil defense say Indie Media award honoree
Mondo Weiss. Greg is writing for Indie Media
Award honoree. Mint Press, by the way, are
doing podcasts for them. He says the Israeli, This is
Tariq Hajaj. The Israeli army is using air
strikes, rigged explosive AP CS and bulldozing operations to

(51:50):
level neighborhoods and displacement centers in Gaza
City. Eyewitnesses and local officials
say it's to cause mass flight and prevent residents from
returning because it'll give them nothing to return to.
All right. And that's the the destruction
of the AL Fallah school in Gaza City's Zaitoun neighborhood.

(52:13):
That was a school. Fucking horrible.
Yeah. Ahead of its full scale
invasion, a planned full scale invasion of Gaza City, the
Israeli army is causing widespread destruction in the
Strip's largest urban center, forcing residents to evacuate
ahead of its publicly declared start date, October 7th.

(52:36):
How convenient. Recent reports from eyewitnesses
and Civil Defense show that the Israeli army has been using
retrofitted armored personnel carriers, or APC's, that are
sent into dense population centers, including neighborhoods
and displacement centers, beforethey are remotely detonated.
How nice. The attacks continue alongside

(53:00):
an extensive bulldozing operation in the city and
constant aerial bombardment. Between August 12th and August
18th, the Israeli army destroyedover 400 buildings in the
Zaitoun neighborhood and launched a limited ground
incursion at its edges. The army also launched a similar

(53:20):
operation in the Sabra neighborhood West of Gaza City.
Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told Mondo Weiss
that the Israeli army destroyed over 1500 buildings in Gaza City
in aerial strikes alone since August 6th, largely in Zaitoun
and Sabra. 1500 buildings. Anybody live in those buildings?

(53:46):
Notice they never mentioned people.
Basal explained that the Civil Defense continues to receive
calls from trapped civilians in the two neighborhoods, but that
there's no way to reach them dueto heavy shelling and
bombardment. How about stopping the fucking
shelling and bombardment, assholes?
We're afraid that the Israeli invasion will get even deeper

(54:08):
into Gaza City and that civil defense crews will be unable to
reach the places they bomb. I can't imagine why.
Nowhere in Gaza is safe, whethernorth or South.
Bombs chase residents from theirhomes, from their displacement
centers, and even from their tents, literally leaving them
nowhere to go 24/7. Running from bombs all day,

(54:32):
every day for two fucking years.Imagine that were you.
How you would handle this? Watching everybody around you
killed 1 by 1 by 1 with these fucking starvation centers run
by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
That's really just a fucking Merc group that's run by Eric.
Prince Abdul Wahab Ismail, resident of the Saftawi area in

(54:56):
northwest the northwestern Gaza,evacuated his neighborhood on
Tuesday after several buildings on his St. were detonated by
what he described as explosive robots.
That's the APC's quote. The Israeli army sends the
robots near our homes, which they parked there to terrorize
us. OK.
The army doesn't detonate them right away, waiting for fear to

(55:19):
push us to flee. When people don't leave, the
army detonates the robots, regardless of whether they're
civilians in the area. They just don't give a shit the
because nobody's holding them accountable for their war
crimes. The robots quote UN quote
described by Ishmael are likely the Israeli army's outdated M113

(55:39):
APC models, which have been retrofitted with explosives and
remotely detonated near buildings throughout the It's
not a war, it's a it's a massacre.
Ishmael told Mondo Weiss that neither he nor his family had
time to take anything from theirhome due to fears that the APC
near them would be detonated. So he says before now, the the

(56:04):
army used to blow up one or two buildings with the robots.
Now they destroyed dozens of buildings at once, robots and
warplanes working together to destroy every place in Gaza
City. Israel said that he and his
family won't leave. They can't afford transportation
to move South and get a tent there, and they can't move on

(56:25):
foot either. We arrived here in the West of
Gaza with nothing. We're on the street.
We'll try to find something to cover our heads with, but we're
staying in Gaza City and we knowwhat that's going to mean.
They're going to eventually be killed, unfortunately, because
nobody's going to stop this. In lieu of a full scale

(56:46):
invasion, the Israeli army is using its combination of air
strikes, rigged Apcs, limited incursions and bulldozing
operations to compel residents to flee ahead of the planned
ground invasion. Flee where assholes flee where?
To another fucking camp. Basal said the army has been

(57:09):
carrying out the wide scale bulldozing buildings in Gaza
City, bearing and flattening entire neighborhoods in a manner
similar to other neighborhoods in Gaza City and other parts of
Gaza, and there's links to show where that's happened.
It's a large scale bulldozing operation that's leveling the
Zai, Tune and Sabra neighborhoods because this is

(57:30):
making way for them to start building almost immediately.
The army uses bulldozers run by run and owned by private Israeli
contractors. Again, the private contractors
are the ones that are getting these contracts to do that
follow up, level the buildings, make sure the the ground is
clear so Trump and and Kushner and their investors can start

(57:56):
sending in building materials and dump trucks to clear out the
rubble because they've already sold that land or started to.
But Basal clarified that the explosive APC's are now taking
center stage at this point in the Gaza City operation,
describing the remote controlledvehicles as death robots.

(58:22):
Are you ready for this to come to our town?
Because it's probably going to at some point.
Already here. Death robots?
No exploding Apcs in U.S. cities.
We don't have that yet. The Apcs are there though.
Not the ones that explode and take out buildings and people.

(58:43):
Remote armold Perseus. I mean just put some C4 on one,
which is what happened here. As of August. 6th.
The Israeli army. Is wild shit.
Five robots to different areas inside Gaza City every single
day, especially in the AL Zeitunand Al Saftawi areas.

(59:04):
All right. Asserting that the AP CS blast
radius is 100 meters and destroys or severely damages
anything within that distance, he confirmed that the Israeli
army has not yet fully advanced into the city, but has used
remote vehicles to level buildings and intimidate
residents into mass flight. Oh, thanks, thanks for that.

(59:28):
Yes, they, they, Jesus, Basal said.
This goal is apparent. Given one.
Of the AP CS targets civilian displacement centers.
According to Basal, the AP CS have been used to destroy every
displacement center in the AL Zaitoun neighborhood to prevent
people from staying in the area.Basal described the destruction

(59:51):
as unprecedented. Yes, when they destroy 80 or
100% of an area, that certainly is unprecedented.
The destruction operations in AlZaitoun suggest something insane
and unimaginable, he said. Complete areas were erased and
bulldozed. All the schools in the area were
destroyed. Not a single school has been

(01:00:13):
left standing in Al Zaitoun. It's clear.
It's a clear plan to annihilate the entire area.
Over 80% of it has already been destroyed.
We're talking again about over 1500 buildings destroyed by
aerial bombardment alone. That's before you get in there
with the with with the robots. The buildings destroyed by

(01:00:34):
robots are not included. This is destruction.
Like the Bait Hanoon area, Gaza residents are reluctant to flee
under bombardment. Of course they are, because they
While the Israeli army has continued to drop leaflets and
call Gaza residents by phone, Would you ever answer your phone

(01:00:56):
with a 972 area code I? Know.
Right, promising that humanitarian areas are being
prepared for evacuees in the South.
That reminds me, like Mars attacks, like we, we come in
peace. We come in peace as they're
fucking shooting at them. Israeli army, Arabic

(01:01:17):
spokesperson, I don't give a fuck what his name is.
Posted a warning to the residents of Gaza City ahead of
stage two of the operation. Quote evacuating Gaza City is
inevitable. They're the Borg.
Every family moving South. Resistance is futile.
That's right, we'll receive the maximum humanitarian aid

(01:01:38):
currently being prepared, which is nothing, $5000.
You know, Trump is saying, $5000for everything you own, for
everything that you've ever known, for all the land, your
entire family, your memories, everything, $5000 take it or die
and die. The spokesperson said that the

(01:02:01):
Israeli army was setting up tents and preparing areas for
distribution of humanitarian aid, the construction of water
pipelines and other infrastructure.
You mean the ones that they already had and that Israel
already destroyed? Right.
But so far, most people. Invited decision plants and.

(01:02:23):
Fucking all the streets and the ambulances and the power plants
and the generators. Most people evacuating the city
do so only when the bombing reaches them due to the lack of
other options, residents are reporting.
The residents of all Zeitoun arealmost 80,000, Basal said.

(01:02:45):
Only about 20,000 remain in place.
The rest had to leave when the bombing reached them if they
weren't killed. But all of them left for other
parts of Gaza City, mostly to the West, not to the South.
One person in 1000 decides to follow Israeli army orders, he
said. Clarify that most people have no

(01:03:06):
funds to hire transportation which costs over $300 while its
head costs over $1000. We could walk into a fucking
Walmart and buy one for 25 bucks, $1000 for somebody in
Gaza because they have nowhere else to go and that's how scarce
they are. That's how valuable.
Anything to shelter them that isn't a destroyed building is.

(01:03:32):
People have also already tried what displacement was like in
the South. They know there's no safety
there. The Israeli army burns people
alive inside their tents and we've covered that on more than
one occasion too. Fuck Israel for all of those
things. Yet this is not a war, it's a
massacre. There is nobody fighting back at

(01:03:55):
this point. There are like 10 quote UN quote
hostages left which Israel has clearly said they don't care
about and multiple times while they're bombing knows that they
could potentially be murdering those hostages.
They don't care. It's not about the hostages.
The hostages families have charged Israel with not caring

(01:04:17):
about the hostages and using them as a prop and the
justification for continuing to do what they do, which is
massacring everybody in the areaso they can steal the the land.
Now, we're getting a little long, so I'm not going to cover
this whole thing. I'm just going to show you the
headline because holy shit. Another Mondo Weiss headline,

(01:04:40):
this one from September 4th by Qassam Mugadi.
The new Israeli map proposing toannex 80% of the West Bank,
explained Israeli finance manager Bazalo Smotrich
Beelzebub. Smotrich released a map
proposing to annex over 80% of the West Bank.

(01:05:02):
He's not far off from the rest of the Israeli political
establishment. Even the pragmatic opposition
wants to take most of the land. They want to push people into
these 5 yellow zones, 6 yellow zones.
Sorry, here's where's the map? Here it is.
That's where they want everybody.

(01:05:23):
That's where they have them. They want them in those tiny
little spots. And settlers are going to live
all around them. By the way, get the fuck out of
here. Yep.
So getting back to the article here, all right, he presented a

(01:05:45):
map showing all of West Bank as a part of Israel, including
Bethlehem, the Jordan Valley, and the entire Palestinian
countryside, while only 6 Palestinian cities, Jenin,
Tukarem, Nablus, Jericho, Ramallah and Hebron were marked
as isolated ghettos. Mochritz said that if the

(01:06:06):
Palestinian Authority opposes his plan, Israel would uproot it
like it did with Hamas, so they'll just take it all.
Mochritz also called on Netanyahu to implement his
proposal if he wished to enter history as a great leader.
These fucking fools. War crimes.
The Hague is not good enough forthese people saying fuck Israel.

(01:06:31):
Covering stories like that are certainly not going to get our
channel remonetized by YouTube. We have been demonetized since
just after October 7th. We're putting up a video that
told people that what Hamas is doing is resistance and when a
people are occupied, resistance is justified.
Apparently that's not OK with with with YouTube.

(01:07:42):
Of course, we know that media isthe media that is actually
trying to report the truth and hold Israel to account is being
targeted by the heist Boris, by the Zionists, and they're trying
to silence them and get them treated as terrorists in some
cases. So in that vein, there is a

(01:08:06):
publication called the PalestineChronicle run by Ramsey Barud.
They've become a target in the UK.
This case is not justice, it's intimidation, it's not law, it's
propaganda dressed in the robes of a courtroom.
This is written by Ramsey Barud.So this is the perspective of
the outlet being targeted. Let me make this a little bigger

(01:08:31):
so people can follow along. The Palestine Chronicle is not a
militant organization. It is a modest, independent
publication, sustained by small donations and animated by a
singular mission to bear witness.
It tells the untold stories of Palestine, documenting
dispossession, resistance and the endurance of a people

(01:08:53):
condemned to silence. An immediate landscape dominated
by powerful conglomerates repeating the language of
governments, which is what we talked about from us all right
earlier. The Chronicle insists on a
journalism of proximity groundedin daily lives in the rubble of
Gaza and voices otherwise erased.

(01:09:16):
It's true offense, in the eyes of the tractors, is not
invention, but truth. At the heart of this endeavor
stands Ramsay Barud. His career is the antithesis of
clandestine. For decades, he has written,
taught and spoken in public, producing books translated into

(01:09:36):
multiple languages, contributingcolumns to international
publications and addressing audiences in universities and
public forums across continents.He's not a shadowy figure.
He's a man whose work has been consistent, transparent and
intellectually rigorous, even when you disagree with him.

(01:09:57):
His life is not untouched by thetragedy tragedy he describes.
Many members of his family were killed under Israeli
bombardments. Yet while mainstream media
rushed to amplify unproven allegations against him, they
remain deaf to his personal grief.
His tragedy was ignored, his integrity overlooked, his voice

(01:10:20):
distorted. Because his engagement is
unbearable for those who would would prefer silence.
He's an engaged journalist of the noblest sense, independent,
loose and unflinching. His so-called crime is not
collusion with violence, but fidelity to memory.

(01:10:40):
We covered that how many years ago is something we talk about
all the time. That's why he's demonized, not
for what he's done in law, but for what he represents in
conscience. America, unable to silence
Palestinian voices through censorship alone, now
instrumentalizes it's justice system to achieve by indictment

(01:11:02):
what it failed to achieve by argument.
Having harassed universities, intimidated students and
punished professors for their solidarity with Gaza, it now
turns to the courtroom. It turns the courtroom into a
new battlefield and Congress captives to the whims of its
Zionist paymasters. Not just Masters, but Paymasters

(01:11:24):
joins the manhunt, targeting a journalist for the sole offence
of telling the truth about his people.
As for the mainstream corporate press, it chooses cowardice, as
it always does. Ignoring his family suffering,
ignoring the emptiness of the charges while echoing the
accusations of power as if they were evidence listed law into

(01:11:47):
weapon. Yeah, that's what they're doing.
The complaint, filed against Ramsey Bruin and the
organization the People Media Project that runs the Palestine
Chronicle, rests on the Aliens tort statue, grotesquely
overstretched to criminalize editorial decisions rather than
act of war. It alleges that by publishing

(01:12:10):
articles from Abdullah Al Jamal,who's described by Israel as a
Hamas operative killed during a hostage rescue, the Chronicle
aided and abetted terrorism. But here lies the first Fisher
the character. The characterization of Al Jamal
comes exclusively from Israeli military sources, themselves a

(01:12:33):
belligerent party. Trust me, bro, it's never been
independently verified. The claim that he was both a
journalist and a Hamas operativeremains an allegation, not an
established fact. To treat it as judicial evidence
is to replace proof with propaganda.
It's, you know, a selective convenience.

(01:12:56):
Even if, hypothetically, Al Jamal had, at the demand of a
militant group, harbored hostages, such a circumstance
would not in itself render him culpable.
What an ordinate What ordinary civilian in a war zone can
refuse the command of militants under threat of force?
And even if it occurred, how could Ramsay Brood have known

(01:13:18):
it? Even taken at face value, the
allegation collapses upon scrutiny.
No evidence demonstrates that the Chronicle or its editor had
actual knowledge of all Jamal's supposed operational role, even
though it doesn't exist, nor that modest freelance payments,
if any at all, for any casual Nexus.

(01:13:39):
The hostage taking, they're justtwisting this.
The federal judge in February of2025 dismissed the original
complaint precisely for lack of proof or knowledge or intent.
Plaintiff's return with an amended filing.
Repackage in rhetoric and pathos, but still devoid of the

(01:14:00):
material elements required underinternational law.
Actus Reyes a substantial contribution to the crime and
Mens Rea Intent or knowledge. They don't have them.
To equate the publication of articles with material support
for terrorism is not jurisprudence but a juridical

(01:14:22):
contortion. It is the substitution of law by
politics, the criminalization ofjournalism under the mask of
counterterrorism. All right, journalism is not a
crime, What is sought as injustice, but intimidation.
The cast suspicion on every Palestinian voice to brand their

(01:14:44):
words as weapons, their witness as crime.
They want to silence everyone that's speaking about Palestine.
Thus the legal emptiness is evidence, all right and they
give the jurisdiction was overstretched because the ATS
was never intended to criminalize editorial contracts,

(01:15:05):
that there were elements unmet that there was no proven
knowledge or intent, no substantial assistance at all.
All right. That factual information was a
he was literally just republishing what the guy was
telling him. Factual Information Foundation
was unstable. Again, the Hamas label rests on
unverified allegations from one warring party that has complete

(01:15:29):
stake in treating this person and calling them that, even
though they don't have evidence and I haven't produced any.
And then politically, aim is transparent, which is to silence
Palestinians and punish one of their most articulate
representatives for independence.
This case is not justice, it's intimidation.
It's not law. It's propagandist dressed in the

(01:15:50):
robes of a courtroom. The allegation against Ramsey
Baroud rests not on proof, but on the word of a belligerent
army. An army that bombs, besieges and
murders, then dictates who's a journalist, who's a terrorist,
who's fit to speak. To transform those claims into
evidence is to surrender law itself to war.

(01:16:12):
We want, we just talked about that double tap thing, the same.
It's the same type of thing. Ramsey Baroud is not a
conspirator. He's a journalist of record, a
man of books, a teacher, a witness.
His own family has been buried under rubble.
And yet America hasn't mourned them, hasn't spoken of them.

(01:16:32):
Instead, it chooses to hunt him,to turn his grief into
accusation, his fidelity into crime.
Some congressmen have joined this manhunt.
Fuck them. Eager to please their Zionist
patrons, universities have been disciplined.
Their students silence the press.
That great stencil of truth has abandoned him, repeating the

(01:16:57):
only the charges while ignoring his suffering.
This isn't democracy, it's servitude.
The elements of law are absent. There is no actus Reyes, no Mens
reya, no casual link. There's only suspicion, all
right? There's only the will to
silence. And so the true purpose stands

(01:17:18):
naked to criminalize the Palestinian word, to punish a
journalist for speaking the truth of Gaza, to make an
example of him so that others will be afraid to write.
But intimidation isn't justice. A trial without evidence isn't,
is it law? And silencing the witness won't
erase the truth. All right.

(01:17:39):
And then we've got more on here.That's Ramsay Brood right there,
right? The guy who wrote this was
Muhammad al Mukhtar Sidi Haiba, social political analyst, OK for
and he wrote this to Palestine Chronicle about Ramsay.
The American justicial system has a choice to lend its

(01:18:02):
authority to propaganda, which is what it's going to do, or to
defend the very principle that sustains that law, that guilt,
must be proven and not declared.To condemn him would be to
condemn journalism itself. To acquit him is to restore some
dignity, dignity to justice. Choice is clear.
And the choice of what they're choosing to do is also clear, as

(01:18:25):
the dissident has shown that theTrump administration has now
sanctioned Palestinian NGOs for documenting Israeli war crimes.
So what do you think they're going to do to Ramsey, Peru?
All right, sanctions for exposing Israeli war crimes.

(01:18:46):
That's what they're doing, right?
They're sanctioning Al Haq Al Mazan Center for Human Rights
and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights as retaliation for
their documentation of Israeli war crimes.
I'm waiting for the Hin Rajam Foundation also to be targeted.
All right, The Hin Rajam Foundation actually reports on

(01:19:08):
Israeli soldiers in foreign countries to have them brought
up on genocide charges so that they can't travel anywhere in
the world and they're not allowed to vacation.
Not when you commit genocide Sanctions.
Announcement from Rubio states that the sanctions are placed
because, quote, these entities have directly engaged in the
efforts by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain or

(01:19:29):
prosecute Israeli nationals without Israel's consent.
Why do they need Israel's consent when they've create when
they've committed war crimes? The announcement then goes on to
blatantly admit that the US and Israel are rogue states that
don't adhere to international law.
Writing this administration has been clear. the US and Israel

(01:19:50):
are not party to the Rome Statute.
Therefore we're not subject to the IC CS authority.
We oppose the IC CS politicized agenda, which it isn't.
They want to stop genocide, all right.
And overreach and disregard for the sovereignty of the US and
that of our allies. Nonsense.
The UN also has said the same thing.
Francesca Albanese has said the same thing.

(01:20:13):
Every organization has declared its genocide.
Fuck Marco. Marco Narco Rubio.
By the admission of Marco Rubio's own announcement, the
Trump admin is sanctioning humanrights organizations because
they're collecting evidence of US backed Israeli war crimes,
which the US and Israel oppose because they're rogue states

(01:20:34):
that refuse to adhere to the Rome Statute and international
law. Make that sentence make sense,
because they're not part of it to begin with, so.
The latest? The latest sanctions are just
the latest in a broader campaignby the Trump had been using
sanctions to crack down on international organizations and

(01:20:54):
figures for documenting Israeli war crimes.
Again, Francesca Albanese, he put out a bombshell report
showing all spheres of the American military industrial
complex, including Trump connected companies like
Palantir were profiting off the genocide.
The Trump admin placed sanctionson her.

(01:21:17):
They're just going to sanction everybody in the end.
So fuck Israel for that and fuckthe United States government for
that. Fuck Trump.
Fuck Rubio, all right. In reality, her report had
meticulously documented how American companies are directly
complicit in Israeli war crimes.Going like that, Lockheed Martin

(01:21:40):
manufactured F30 fives and F16 fighter jets were integral to
equipping Israel with the unprecedented aerial power to
drop an estimated 85,000 tons ofbombs, much of it unguided, to
kill and injure more than 180,000 Palestinians.
The Caterpillar supplied D9 bulldozers documented as being

(01:22:02):
used to carry out vast demolitions.
Right. Palantir's AI providing
automatic predictive policing technology, core defense
infrastructure for rapid and scale up construction and
deployment of military software.And of course it's AI platform
which allows real time battlefield data integration for
automated decision making. You mean murdering?

(01:22:25):
Yes, the announcement for Rubio about the sanctions on Francesca
Albany's again explicitly said it was retaliation for her
working with the ICC on the war crimes probe against Israel and
openly stated that the US and Israel do not adhere to
international law. Insane.

(01:22:48):
A bought and paid for administration.
Again, this is from the dissident.
The three o7.substack.com. These are his top donors.
While he was a senator, Trump also was bankrolled in large
part by Israel lobbyists In 2024, we got Miriam Adelson,
Paul Singer, etcetera, etcetera.Go check out the rest of this
article and drop the link in thedescription.

(01:23:11):
But they're sanctioning organizations that are trying to
support Palestinians, raise money for Palestinians, and
they're sanctioning and trying to criminalize journalists and
outlets that platform Palestinians.
I'm guessing that the electronicIntifada will be next right
behind Ramsey, Peru, because they definitely have, you know,

(01:23:32):
put journalists out there that Israel has later called Hamas.
And therefore, the EI will then be charged with platforming
Hamas, and anyone that interviews a Palestinian at some
point will then be charged with being and being a terrorist as
part of Hamas. It's crazy where this is going.

(01:23:57):
And so we need to talk about it because I don't see too many
people talking about this or specifically focusing on this.
They talk about it in a broader context of what's happening, but
the way that individual organizations and people are
being targeted. Of course, they came for the
socialists and the trade union, you know, and the famous poem

(01:24:18):
about they came then they came for me and there was no one left
to stand for me. It kind of feels like they're
trying to come for everybody. So there's no one left to stand
for us. So that's why we have to stand
for them. All right, So that's or fuck
Israel, but all about the censorship that's been happening
in trying to silence Ramsey Barood, trying to silence the

(01:24:41):
Palestinian NGOs in the United States and hopefully that is
going to stop, but I don't see it stopping anytime soon.
My worry is they're going to tryto deport him to somewhere like
Uganda, but we'll see. In the meantime, we're not
monetized on YouTube. If you're able to in a means,
please help us out by shipping our network in one of several

(01:25:04):
different ways. Cash App, Dollar sign, Indy News
Network, co-fee.com/indynews networkyougotpaypal.meslashindynewsnetwork@indynews.now.com,
indynews.now.com I stumbled there INN newsletter.com.
We're going to be late live in 1/2 an hour there for boat
smashing into other boats or so,probably 12:15.

(01:25:27):
And then indymediatoday.com where we are again live right
now over on Sub State. Speaking of coming to a Sub
Stack near you, you can hit it coming to a Sub Stack newsletter
near you. I've been having some issues
obviously with Sub Stack lately.I've been complaining about

(01:25:50):
their support or lack thereof. I had a a situation where I
couldn't what they call a cross post between two publications
and every time I tried to raise this issue as well as a couple
of other technical issues, nothing was getting done.
I would get this AI bot on the minute that it became apparent

(01:26:12):
that the bot couldn't resolve myissue.
It offered to escalate my issue to a human engineer, but then
gave me no guarantees or assurances as to whether it
would be looked at, when it would be looked at, who would be
looking at it, or if it would even be looked at.
All right, so this is, again, I took out last week, earlier in

(01:26:35):
the week that now there are two accounts that I have access to
that can't cross post. It wasn't just my Indian INN,
but I also have access to the Indian to the INN account, which
is a separate publication, and I'm unable to cross post from
there either. All right, this is so
frustrating because every Saturday at noon I cross post

(01:26:59):
the INN newsletter to my any media today.
Couldn't do that. I was able to at the last
minute, but the bot says I understand your frustration with
the cross posting issue to your two accounts.
I can't stand the apology from abot.
It's the most disingenuous thing.
I hear you. I feel you.
I'm so sorry for your issues. No, you're not.

(01:27:22):
No you're not. You're a fucking robot.
You're a program, are you unableto see the cross post option or
is there an error message? So I explain my issue and I say
I want to speak to an actual human being right now and don't
want to be sent into nowhere space and have the bot terminate
the session. Got it.
I've sent this conversation to our team of specialists.

(01:27:45):
If this is a payment or urgent issue, you'll hear back from us
within a few days. Otherwise, Please note that due
to incoming volume, we aren't able to guarantee a timely
response or even 1 at all. We're sorry, we're sorry.
Yes, the Santa Bloom. Very robophobic.
OK so I then got a little upset and I said how can a company

(01:28:10):
that built its reputation on serving writers and creators
fail so badly? I have a genuine issue and would
like an actual human being to speak with about it.
That apparently is impossible anymore.
I'll play in two acts is act one.
When I tell the bot that I can'tcross post and it asks me to
describe the issue that I've been repeatedly having.
Act 2, when I tell the bot that I want to speak to an actual

(01:28:31):
human, bot automatically drops the request into an imaginary
queue that doesn't exist and summarily terminates the
session. I can't even respond any
further. Welcome to sub stack customer
support where you're on your ownon the tech side.
And if that's not good enough, well, you can just sit and Stew
and pound stand # sand. Thanks fam.

(01:28:53):
And I that actually did prompt aresponse from somebody maybe or
another bot. But I did get emailed.
Hello Sir, what's your issue? And I gave them a repeated once
again, even though they could see clearly what my issue was in
the bot and it was what we triedon our side and we couldn't
replicate the issue. But then they, they saw an issue

(01:29:13):
and couldn't fix that. We're escalating that to our
engineers no longer are addressing that part.
Now it's just about my issue that, you know, they're placing
the blame on me and they're gaslighting me.
But this one really upset me. I found this article, came
across my my desk on notes and it says that your writing is not
safe on Substack. Well.

(01:29:36):
We've heard about accounts beingterminated, all right, and we've
heard about publications being terminated for low volume, but
this person knock, I've never heard of.
This was written in June, right?That this isn't what I was
planning to write for my next article, but in light of some
recent events, I feel I should share my experience and the

(01:30:01):
article I should be working on right now will be out in a few
weeks. Last week, my account was
suspended for around 40 hours. They were lucky that they got it
back. While this might not seem like a
big deal, and mostly it isn't, it's the way Substack handles it
that's so frustrating. Perhaps my experience had more
to do with my status as a free newsletter.

(01:30:22):
Maybe this won't apply to everyone, but if you have a free
stack and have never been suspended, this is what you
should expect if it ever happensto you.
And if you use notes, it very well could.
And that's the the reason why I brought this is because they
lost their publication because of notes.
When Sub Stack suspends your account, not only do they

(01:30:45):
immediately remove your publication from public view,
they won't even bother to informyou that you've been suspended.
Unless you're the type of personwho signs in frequently, your
publication could be offline fordays before you even have a
chance to submit an appeal. In the meantime, visitors will

(01:31:06):
be greeted with a plain white screen with bold black text that
says PUBLICATION not available, with a link directing them to
other publications. Users signed into the site won't
even see that unless they go directly to your sub stack via
URL, your account simply ceases to exist, so they login.

(01:31:28):
When you do eventually find out that your account was suspended,
you can submit an appeal. But The thing is, the only
confirmation that anything was actually submitted is an easy to
miss notification in the top right corner of the screen.
You don't get a ticket or any kind of confirmation e-mail.
Nothing. They don't use a ticket system.

(01:31:48):
But now not only has all your work been wiped off the
Internet, you're not even sure the appeal did anything.
I actually submitted my appeal twice because I wasn't sure if
the first one worked, and that'swhen I finally noticed the
notification in the corner of the screen that says We've
removed your publication from public view due to a violation

(01:32:10):
of sub stacks, spam and phishingpolicies.
If you believe this was a mistake, you can submit an
appeal to our Standards and Enforcement team here.
Right here's another one tellingthem that their account is
currently suspended. Something you posted may have
violated sub stack spam and phishing policy.
If you believe it was a mistake,again submit here.

(01:32:32):
So of course they they did that.Right.
So this is what's interesting isthat, right?
If your account is currently suspended, something you posted
may have violated that. All right, so guess what?

(01:32:53):
You can't export your data now. Reminding them, reminding us
that Sub Stack advertises that you can always own your
intellectual property, that whatyou write is yours, but you
can't export it now because you've been suspended.
After that, you just have to wait.
You don't get any information other than that you should get a

(01:33:15):
reply within the next 72 hours. Oh, and I guess that this should
be obvious, but you can't use your account in any way outside
of submitting an appeal. Literally nothing.
They go so far as to hide all your subscribers from you.
If you try to export them, you just get an error message
telling you that your account's suspended.
So much for it. No gatekeepers.

(01:33:39):
About 40 hours after submitting my appeal, I finally got a
reply. What it say?
It looks like your account was incorrectly flagged as spam.
So none. I didn't break any rules, but
Substack decided to treat me as if I did, and without any not
knowing one way or another. Nice.
All right, so here's someone from somewhere.

(01:34:01):
There's the e-mail about it. All right, I've corrected the
issue and you should now be ableto use it again.
Why did it take that long? Seeing as they invited me to
reach out, I did. I replied to this e-mail asking
a few questions about what happened and if they're doing
anything to stop it from happening again.
It's been a week now. No response.

(01:34:21):
So I guess that's their response.
Now here's the thing. You might be thinking that this
was some kind of bug or legit mistake, but I don't think it
was. And I've had other people tell
me that they don't think that itwas a mistake when they got
suspended either. I don't think Subsac thinks that
either. After my account was restored, I
noticed that the entire previousweek's worth of notifications

(01:34:45):
had been deleted. So if you had notifications you
were meaning to reply to, too bad they're gone forever.
What possible reason could Sub Stack have to delete
notifications of people contacting you?
Because they know it's likely not about someone being spammed,
it's to prevent you from lookingat your replies to see who it

(01:35:06):
was with the unhinged response to something you said and what
happened just prior to getting suspended.
One of my recent comments had caused some oddly intense
reactions. I'm assuming it was some offhand
remark about how the image of inspo text someone posted didn't
actually make sense. I can't be sure, but I was

(01:35:28):
getting multiple salty replies about something like that in the
days leading up to this, so I think I'd have a pretty good
idea where to start looking if Iwas to try to figure out how
this happened. That's likely the reason
Substack deletes all your notifications for the previous
week. If I was an actual spammer, I
don't really see the logic of deleting notifications.

(01:35:49):
Removing them seems to serve only one purpose, to protect the
cry bullies by restricting your ability to see any of your
recent replies. Permanently removing all replies
is basically an admission that your suspension was the result
of someone abusing the reportingsystem and not due to an actual
mistake. So this documenting a broken

(01:36:13):
system that as previously mentioned, I'm not sure it
applies to bigger accounts. So an argument about the
possible loss of income from being offline a few days because
someone abused the system meant to help improve this site might
not carry as much weight, but the way reporting is handled
should be updated regardless of who it impacts the most.

(01:36:33):
If someone is suspected of beinga spammer, what justification is
there? Removing their articles, which
have no mechanism for being marked as spam outside of notes.
If you're suddenly getting a bunch of spam complaints about
an account and you're not willing or capable to look into
it immediately, why not just limit their ability to comment

(01:36:54):
and maybe hide their comments until you can confirm whether
the spam complaints are legit ornot?
How can Substack justify removing a user's publication
with the mere possibility of breaking a rule in Notes?
That's crazy. Substack is punishing innocent
users not once, but twice. Once by completely removing

(01:37:18):
their account from public view until they feel like reinstating
it, which technically could be never.
Shout out to Samara, I know thathappened to him.
And then again by deleting all their notifications and likes
for the previous week. How is that in any way helping
to prevent spam? How is that not simply giving a

(01:37:39):
tool to the cry bullies among us?
And why is substat going out of their way to prevent the people
abusing the reporting system in the 1st place?
All great questions. Not to get sidetracked, but can
we talk about how lame this entire situation is?
This is a site for writers. Why are you here?
If you can't write your way out of a minor disagreement, why are

(01:38:02):
you running to the robot authorities?
And why did making a false report seem like a better option
than a well worded retort? Well anyway, right?
Stub stack needs to address the issues within the reporting
system. They need to address a lot of
things. As it is now, it effectively
invites abuse from a certain subset of hypersensitive and

(01:38:24):
vindictive users, while punishing users who did nothing
wrong. Anyone using notes is leave,
leaving themselves open and vulnerable to having their
publication taken down for however many days it takes to
subset for subset to decide to reinstate it if they so choose.
If nothing else, I think making it known that abuse of the

(01:38:47):
reporting system will result in some sort of punishment would at
least reduce the possibility of any random user getting their
publication taking it offline because other users lack
self-control. I'm also worried about a Zionist
abuse of this for sure, at some point.
Mass reporting. Short of that, the only thing

(01:39:07):
users can do to protect their writing from being taken down is
not to use notes. And I'm guessing that's not the
scenario Substack had in mind. But until they fix the reporting
system, that's the only real solution beyond moving to a
different platform, which I'm actually looking at doing.
Seriously looking at self hostedWordPress.
So all of these tracks from every playlist are on one long

(01:39:31):
playlist. That's good.
All right, so they're saying that they were targeted because
one of their recent articles wasgetting Hollywood eyeballs on
it. They might also delete your
likes. I didn't think to check that
while I was suspended, but checking now, there appears to
be a gap in my list of likes, which is annoying if you happen
to use likes as bookmarks. And for the people actually

(01:39:55):
abusing the system, that's fucked up.
All right, I guess he cut it offthere.
I don't know why. So subscribe and support this
guy in frequency. I didn't really know this
publication. I also have been talking to a
guy named Mike who runs publication and he's been
talking to sub stack about like the possibility of transferring

(01:40:18):
your publication to somebody else, another account or what
happens when you die a legacy and can you pass on?
Can you leave it to a beneficiary?
They can't transfer it to their own account ever.
Weird Substack did not build build that in to allow for that

(01:40:41):
to happen. Don't really understand how that
is, but just be beware that likethey own your content Really.
I mean they tell you that you own your content, but if they
shut down your account, it's gone, all your work gone.
So back up frequently. I've talked about that in the
past. Make sure your work is regularly
backed up. I've actually been tracking all

(01:41:03):
of my new subscribers which theywill e-mail you to you and
unsubscribes on a separate spreadsheet because I don't
necessarily believe the numbers that Substack is telling me as
far as the number of new subscribers every 30 days or
whatever it is. I also believe that they're
unsubscribing inactive e-mail subscribers and pushing them

(01:41:24):
over to the app only delivery. Fred Edward in chat had an issue
a couple of months where he noticed that after July 4th he
wasn't getting any more emails from us and that somehow his
selection had been changed. I figured out in the app where
to go to find that and sure enough, somebody had changed him

(01:41:46):
to app delivery only, meaning hedidn't get the e-mail
notifications anymore. Because unopened emails is
actually costly for sub stack sothey don't want to send emails
that don't get open. It hurts their open rates for
their newsletter owners. But it also hurts with the spam
filter companies that the lower your open rate the more likely

(01:42:08):
you are to be targeted into spamor pushed as a promotional
e-mail. So I'm going to do some kind of
a follow up on that at some point.
But I wanted to make note that some stacks having several
issues and the deeper I go with it the worse it seems to be.
So my advice is use Substack as a driver toward your own

(01:42:29):
publication, self host your articles, put a tease or a
portion of it over at Substack with a link to read the full
article over at your publication.
Kevin Gostola does that very well within the center and his
Kevin Gostola stuff and things. All right, so we're again not
monetized by YouTube anymore, Substack.

(01:42:51):
We're monetized over there. So you can support us over
there, but the best ways to do that with the least amount of
fees is a cash app, dollar sign.Indy News Network,
co-fee.com/indy News Network. Yeah, PayPal dot me slash Indy
News Network. We've got Indy news.now.com,
that's our website. And then we've got INN
newsletter.com and indymediatoday.com, again, Sub

(01:43:14):
Stack hosted. So we're talking about moving
away from Sub Stack. I would prefer you to use one of
the others, but if you want to subscribe there, have at it.
Really appreciate anywhere that you want to support our our
efforts here to spread the truthand to hold people accountable
and to tell you what's going on with these platforms that nobody
else wants to talk about, especially on live streams

(01:43:35):
because the algorithm doesn't really reward it.
But I don't care about algorithms.
I want to tell the story. Jamil Taib welcome on Sub Stack.
Jamil likes all of our Sub stackposts.
I really appreciate he's a big supporter of the show and we
really appreciate people like Jamil.
They'll want to give him a shoutout.
All right, so there are some other articles in the Lightning

(01:43:57):
Round that I wanted to share with everyone.
I'm not going to read through them.
I'm just going to show you the headlines and I'll put the links
in the sub stack afterwards so you can click and read them for
yourself. This is a long article of which
I agree with most of it. It's a very well researched
article. There's a ton of receipts and

(01:44:17):
footnotes here, but this fingersthe Ford Foundation.
We've talked about the Ford Foundation before as part of
being part of the what do you call the, the NGO complex or the
the not-for-profit industrial complex, right?
But they're actually a global, afork tongued global mafia front.

(01:44:40):
And he's got receipts upon receipts here again, you may not
like all the language that he uses.
You may not like the perspectivethat he has, but in documenting
exactly who they've aligned withand what they've supported and
what they've funded, there's no doubt this guy has a lot of
receipts that you should take a look at.

(01:45:00):
Next I want to watch this very quick video about a girl.
Up in a 24 hour Planet Fitness parking.
Lot waking up at a 24 Hour Fitness.
Wait, hold on. Let me go back to the beginning
here and as reflex, say action. I live in my 2006 Honda Accord
and this is what it's like to wake up in a 24 hour Planet
Fitness parking lot. I start by getting dressed and

(01:45:21):
then the longest part of my morning routine is always taking
down all of my window coverings,but they are essential for
sleeping in my car, so I do it anyways.
Then I climb over into the driver's seat and take down my
window coverings there. I actually already went into
this Planet Fitness last night to take a shower.
For all of you who say that I don't shower, so this morning I
can go ahead and leave straight away and drive to Panera Bread.

(01:45:46):
But first the bathroom. Obviously I used the restroom
and washed my hands. I brushed my teeth in my car.
I don't know, like that's weird to show on camera.
I don't know why y'all are asking to see that.
Anyways, now it's time to drink my hot bean juice to wake up and
get some computer work done. So I use this as an opportunity

(01:46:06):
to charge some of my electronics.
And here I'm actually editing a YouTube video, so if you haven't
already, be sure to go subscribeover there.
I live in my 2006 Honda Accord. In this, so that is by choice,
but what she says is somebody asked van life.
She says van life used to be a choice.
Now it's survival. YouTube, TikTok, people filming
their struggle just to make a few bucks while sleeping in

(01:46:28):
their car. America turned into the Truman
Show and the rent is the villain.
And then you got a lot of peoplethat are like, you know, get a
job. And this is the choice.
And there's plenty of opportunity.
All the bootlicker capitalist bootlickers.
But the point is, is that the cost, right?
The cost of living is forcing people to make these choices.

(01:46:53):
The lack of available affordablehousing is forcing people to
decide that it might be better to try to live out of their car
and deal with the the displacement and all the other
things that you have to deal with with not having an address,
living out of a car with APO boxand showering where you can and

(01:47:14):
grabbing Internet while where you can.
Yes, Sean, The Who man show, notthe true man show.
It's it's really sad that peopleare resorting to this.
All right, so I'll put that linkin the in the description.
Also, the honest broker, I like to call this guy Ted Joy.

(01:47:35):
He I like call him the mayor of Substack.
He's the number one music subscribed on Substack.
He writes about jazz, but he also writes about other stuff.
And in this case, it matters to us.
It matters to all of us because this is about DMCA takedowns and
this guy, Rick Bitto. That's really kind of funny

(01:47:55):
because the day before Ted wrotethis, Reef sent me a video about
Rick Bitto and there's a video here about how the record label
is trying to silence him becausehe does react videos, right?
And on a 40 SEC 42 second video on Olivia Rodrigo, he included

(01:48:15):
10 seconds of a song. But Universal Music Group still
charged him with a copyright violation, although it certainly
seems straightforward as fair use.
He pushes back, successfully defends his fair rights use, his
fair use rights. But he's got to now have like a
full time lawyer. He gets a ton of these every

(01:48:36):
day. He.
Literally has to pay a full timelawyer.
To handle the endless stream of infringement claims he's won
repeatedly, but maybe that's what's getting the label so
upset. We've successfully fought
thousands of these now, he said,all right, so there's a really
interesting article. And it affects every single live
streamer and content creator that, you know, that uses any

(01:48:59):
kind of copyrighted material, even for reaction purposes.
And we're going to go be doing one of those next on boat
smashing into other boats. And we certainly are worried
about that now. The last thing I wanted to rant
and rave about a little bit is about a guy that I've done a lot
of advocating for on this show. And I got to be honest and I got

(01:49:23):
to be fair. You know, we've platformed Matt
Taibbi a ton. Bracket News advocated for his
outlet, giving them an Indie Media Award.
But this shit cannot stand. I cannot stand by quietly, and I
haven't been. I've been openly critical of
that, of his unwillingness to address Gaza.

(01:49:45):
And the few times he does, he tepidly says he doesn't want to
address it because he's got a rabid Zionist following that he
does not want to alienate and lose paid subscribers to.
He can claim that it's anything else.
It's audience capture, straight up.
People claim, oh, you're jealous, I don't give a vote.
Look, I've been a big fan of this guy.

(01:50:05):
The problem is, is that he sold out on the independence.
He sold out on all the principles that he claimed to
hold true. He sold out on the Palestinian
journalists who are being murdered by US bombs and Israel
and silent on Israel, which by the way, I said earlier, silence
is complicity. He is absolutely, 100% complicit

(01:50:28):
in not amplifying every week that the United States is aiding
and abetting Israel in murderingjournalists in Palestine that
are trying to report the truth. This truth teller, this
protector of the truth, is showing who the fuck he is now.
He got really excited. A lot of people have argued that

(01:50:50):
it was always what he was. Then some people feel that way,
that he shit all over people whoquestioned 9/11 and and he was
wrong there as well. But Malcolm Gladwell admitted
to, you know, being bullied by the trans lobby and kind of
recanted some of the stuff he talked about.

(01:51:11):
DEI and Matt, of course, was excited to hear that because he
had exposed Gladwell a couple ofyears ago and they had a debate
a couple of years ago. And again, it's all about his
ego, so it's ironic that this happened in the same week that
Gladwell admitted he wasn't packing anything down there.
The set is the set on Barry. Barry Weiss is visible from

(01:51:35):
space, and that's why she's getting paid.
Oh OK, who? Who the fuck cares like.
Right, you know, so I said BarryWeiss is a Netanyahu toady.
Now she's going to go work for Israel's number one supporter
and CIA Larry Adelson's son pushing her disgusting,

(01:51:56):
genocidal mental gymnastics about Israel across a multitude
of channels and platforms. Prepare to have it shoved down
our throats at every possible turn now across all the CBS and
Paramount, The worst people truly do fail upwards.
This timeline sucks ass. I know, Matt, you don't claim to
follow this closely, but Alan McLeod has been running laps

(01:52:17):
around some people who claim to be about fighting and exposing
censorship by the big platforms on social media.
Alan had three weeks ago in herethat Sky Dance was looking at
buying the Free Press and makingBarry ombudsman over CBS News.
We already knew that, all right.And then of course, you always
have somebody that tries to stepin and play Captain Savo Israel

(01:52:40):
or the fucking terrorist, period.
But it didn't stop there. Because I then remind people
Barry is a genocide, a lying cunt.
And now so is Matt. Matt's an apologist for a
genocide, a lying cunt. He repeatedly spreads the
debunked October 7th rape hoax, which got me a violation by

(01:53:02):
Twitter. Thank you very much.
Twitter. We all know what this is and who
the Ellison family serves, and it ain't the American people.
All right? So, yeah, this post may violate
X's rules against hateful content.
IEB was taken else everywhere. Yeah, fuck Twitter's right.
Taken else everywhere thanks to that Netanyahu toady.

(01:53:25):
He doesn't realize that he's mainstream now.
He ignores Israel, he ignores Epstein, he ignores ICE raids.
He brags about siding with Douglas Murray.
By the way, that Malcolm Gladwell debate, it was Taibbi
and Douglas Murray against Gladwell and some other asshole
and Oh yeah, his podcast. Walter Kern is also a MAGA

(01:53:48):
Zionist. And Oh yeah, he still goes on
with Bill fucking Moore, also a Zionist.
Is Fox News calling? Like this guy practically has a
Fox News show because someone actually said I'm waiting for
Taibbi on NBC or ABC prime time.If anything, it would be on CBS
with Barry. Maybe he's shilling for a time

(01:54:10):
slot. All right, you may as well have
a Fox News show. Somebody reminds me that in his
description that he that he describes himself as the author
of the Insane Clown President. I can't breathe spanking the
donkey and smells like dead elephants.
Those are some of his wonderful titles, right.

(01:54:32):
And then he's stepping all over his Zionist Dick.
Today I said you're bragging about siding with Douglas
fucking Murray and expose Zionist propagandist who got
humiliated about it by Dave Smith, a certified moron.
Yo, Scoob may want to sit this one out.
All right. Barry Weiss, Douglas Murray,
Walter Kurd, Just surrounding yourself with murderous Israel

(01:54:53):
simps. Your silence is complicity.
Matt mask off. We all see it now.
Your chat here. His chat on sub stack has a
collection of the most unhinged,genocide denying, bloodthirsty
anti Muslim bigots that push Rabbi Shmuley's bullshit Hasbro
talking points. Pathetic mask off moments in 24

(01:55:16):
hours, destroying decades of reputation.
Known as somebody who had integrity as an independent.
All right, again, Matt, trying to backtrack all these people
who think I'm a cheerleader for Israel are out of their minds
July 11th all right, I oppose the anti-Semitism Awareness Act

(01:55:37):
because it affected you. I oppose the Trump anti-Semitism
executive order defining criticism of Israel is
discriminatory and I said I don't think that's.
Not enough bare minimum position.
All of these, right, They shouldn't be sending money or
weapons to Israel. Rape and I'm against the catch
and deport practices for speech offenses, but that's not enough

(01:56:00):
for the pro Palestine crowd. No it's not because they're
literally murdering journalists and you're silent.
Apparently I'm also supposed to salute a range of other issues
and if I don't I'm a genocide apologist.
Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
You'd rather annoy the fuck out of a possible supporter that
allow for some level of ambiguity.
Which is the same, the same bullshit you've been trying to

(01:56:22):
fucking count forever. You just don't want to be told
what to do and it shows. So every time it's like, oh I
talk about it, but I should be able to not talk about it if I
want to. That's what your fucking
childish ass has been doing. I remind him that silence is
complicity. This isn't just about how it
affects how it affects censorship here, which is all he

(01:56:43):
really cares about. Stop anti-Semitism awareness act
happening here. Oppose Trump anti-Semitism
executive order here. All right.
Shouldn't be sending US money that's affecting the US you
selfish fucking prick. How about all the people that
are getting murdered by US moneyand bombs?
You don't give a fuck about any of them.

(01:57:03):
How about all the people in the UK getting arrested for
supporting Palestine action don't give a fuck about them
either. Fuck this guy.
If he didn't give a fuck about anybody other than his own shit,
which is exactly what he looked up in the Twitter Files, all the
shit that affected him. And therefore, like the answer
is BDS, he's going to support this shit.

(01:57:25):
He's not going to call it out. You're not.
We don't subscribe to his paid publication anymore.
He can fuck off. I was an annual paid subscriber
to the Racket to Racket News forthree years.
I cancelled my subscription on July 12th and it'll be good
through the end of the year. I'll probably just start

(01:57:46):
republishing his paid subscriberonly articles to fuck him over
because he's a douchebag. But.
Don't even do that. Well, it it just hurts his
revenue because people who mightwant to see it would have to pay
to see it. Now they'll get it for free.
That would be the only reason for doing it anyway.

(01:58:06):
So that that was Matt Taibbi being a douchebag and siding
with Barry Weiss. And it's because they were in
the Twitter Files together, right?
So they have kindred stuff there.
And because Barry Weiss built a successful Substack publication.
And maybe Matt wants private equity to eventually knock on
his door and give him $100 million for racket news.

(01:58:28):
He's not doing that for the out of the goodness of his heart.
He's doing it for fucking money.He wants to get paid, and I
think that he's bragging and spiking the football about Barry
because he wants to have some ofthat come his way.
Be like, guys, you know, I've been playing ball and
sacrificing my pro Palestine audience to make sure that this
was another outlet. You might want to buy and roll

(01:58:49):
into CBS News or maybe part of NBC for all we know.
Fuck this guy is all I'm saying.You know, don't.
I'm done with Matt Taibbi and I hope most people are too.
I understand if you don't want to be, but it's he's not your
friend and he's not a friend of the truth and he's not a friend

(01:59:11):
of anti censorship or free speech.
It's just when it directly effects him, which is like kind
of like a Republican in a way. Like he can say he's not a
classic Republican or a shit Lib.
You know a corporate shit Lib, which is why he gets invited to
appear on corporate shit Lib TV.So let's get to some real people

(01:59:36):
now. People like Shanda and my our
friend Shanda said she officially started round two
irradiation to treat small cell lung lung tumors and her both
her femur bones and ribs. Today she got 4 zaps of the ribs
into the left leg. She's really in pain all right.
They can't even start chemo until her insurance approves it.

(01:59:59):
Can't believe how much the painsincreased.
Thank you to those who have heldus up.
It's been over a year so if you're able to, here is Shanda's
GoFundMe. Please support her with a couple
of bucks. Would really appreciate it.
Then we've also got the situation that's going on with
Anthony Malecki's sister-in-law,Natalia.

(02:00:23):
Natalia came to the US with her daughter to pursue a better
life, fleeing an abusive ex-husband who threatened to
kill her. Her entire family's here and now
she's being abused by a fascist police state that's torturing
her for the profits of the prison industrial complex and
now wants to separate her from her daughter, send her back to
Ukraine, and put her daughter into foster care.

(02:00:46):
Natalia has lived here legally for almost 10 years while
working as a box truck driver and raising her daughter.
He was, as we know, taken into ICE custody after a traffic stop
over registration that wasn't even expired.
Now they're moving to separate her from her child by removing
her from the US. This is serious.
The family needs urgent help while living here.

(02:01:08):
She had applied for her green card.
She was paying taxes and doing everything right.
But this is what happens when Ohio sheriff's turn traffic
stops into deportation pipelinesfor profit.
All right, Descent and Bloom, who contributed to this stream
tonight, just donating to her family's fundraiser, as have we.
Please share this GoFundMe. First and foremost, the more

(02:01:31):
people see it. And if you're able to donate
even a little, it helps. And this is the GoFundMe.
She's over 1500 bucks. Anything that anybody can do to
help, it really does make a big difference.
And these had dried up for a couple of weeks.
I know Natalie Williams, you know, friend of the show, friend
of the network, big supporter ofours also has been sharing this

(02:01:54):
and trying to help our brother Anthony get the word out there.
Cowboy Kitty. And then Keith McHenry, Food Not
Bombs. Keith McHenry.
This is a story about the TaylorSt.
Navigation Center. So they've been doing homeless
sweeps in San Jose. And these are like the tents

(02:02:15):
that they're now offering peoplein a tent city like that, that
if you refuse to discard your property and move into this hot
camp, you get sent to jail for trespassing.
They're prison camps San Jose, CA happening right now.
He's McHenry. So new tent site for San Jose's

(02:02:41):
homeless faces criticism from advocates and residents.
So this is a news report from NBC, right.
A homeless shelter designed to connect people to permanent
housing will open on Taylor Street in San Jose.
The shelter, which is the first of its kind in the Bay Area.
All right, we'll provide each person with a tent and access to

(02:03:05):
services. However, the site faces
criticism for both advocates andlocal local residents.
It's going to be hotter than hell, literally.
And the mayor thinks it's a great idea for the tents.
I hope it actually helps. But at the same time, I wish it
wasn't as close to the houses and families.
All the all the nimbies. The new safe sleeping site is

(02:03:27):
modeled after a similar initiative in San Diego.
Of course, they've got 10° or 15° warmer climate.
Residents there filed a federal lawsuit claiming the tents
reached internal temperatures ofover 100°.
Again, read this thing from Keith McHenry.

(02:03:48):
So I'll put that link in the description.
I talked earlier tonight about Indy News.
Now this is the website that youwould go to that's got the news
there. It also again has our live
stream under the watch live. It also has access to our merch
store. We just put a link up there and
then the keep the news free, which is where you would be able
to hook us up with a stripe linkor click here or here to go to

(02:04:12):
the merch store. So the merch store we've now
linked over to the the newer merch store so you can get your
goods there. I know Lisa Tyree, for example,
she's ordered the sticker That was that was when this one, when
people are occupied, resistance is justified.

(02:04:33):
And that's now being shipped in on her way, on its way to her.
From what Ryan told me. Look at my shirt, little bitch.
Yeah, these are cool. These INNT shirts are bad ass.
So I would definitely recommend 20 bucks.
I mean, we're keeping the price as low as possible.
So all right, we're going to go to boats.
Support independent media. Before we get out of here,

(02:04:55):
support the independent media. You want to see Cash App, Dollar
sign Indy News Network, co-feed.com/indy News Network,
PayPal dot me slash Indy News Network, Indy news.now.com INN
newsletter.com. We're about to go live there for
boats smashing and other boats and indymediatoday.com, where we
have been live for the last couple hours.

(02:05:17):
And then, Nick, will they want us living in a pod regardless?
That's right. Owning nothing and be happy.
Absolutely correct. If they want us living at all.
Carly Robinson says, you know, they they that your government,
they hate you and they want to kill you.
That's his favorite line. So yeah, we're going to do
boats. That was the dystopia times.

(02:05:37):
Not really, but it kind of felt like that in a way.
Just the. The weekly report on all the
fucked up stuff that's happeningout there in the world.
But we got a report on this stuff because I just feel like
so many people are tuning out toit because it's hard to listen
to. But it's important to know and
document what's being done to society, what's being done to

(02:05:59):
people and the people who are suffering and struggling as a
result of it and telling their stories because not enough
people are. So until next week and we will
be back next week, support independent media because we
need it more than ever. I love you all and see you soon
everyone. Have a good night.

(02:06:22):
Ciao baby. No, we just fucking lost the
stream again. I guess this isn't such an awful

(02:07:27):
place. It's not what you want me to
say. Hey, you'll prove it's possible
to sleep for days and I still think you're right here away.
The cost of living isn't much tome, but God, it's so hard to say
hey. And when they told you

(02:07:49):
everything I said?
