Who are these people? Who are these people?
I I He's back. I'm just fucking with you all.
Hi, everybody. I am back.
What it do, baby? What it do?
Yeah, Like Bayless. What's up, fam?

(00:30):
Jesse Music. Please.
Sorry, Fred. You're going to get more Jesse
music after the show and before boats.
So sorry. We're actually.
Yeah, no, we're here. Hi, everybody.
Who are these people? It's Indy.
It's Reef right there. He's here.
It's. How do we miss that?
And it's Sunday night and we gota freaking loaded show.

(00:53):
Wow. Holy crap.
Fuck Israel. Let's start with that.
Because they murdered yet another Palestinian journalist
today who was celebrating their quote UN quote ceasefire
yesterday. So fuck them for that.
I don't even have that in the show because that literally just
fucking happened. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm ripping

(01:15):
already. We're start.
We're starting. Good descent in bloom.
Welcome. How are you?
Good to see you good friends. There's Sean busy making dinner
earmuffs for the kids. This is definitely going to be
an R rated show. We're we're going to say the
word fucked very often. So YouTube is definitely not
going to like us for that. It's it's been a it's been a

(01:37):
week, huh? Every week seems to be one of
those. And I'm also going to talk about
this, this crash that happened in the market that allegedly
wiped out like $8 trillion or something of wealth from like
the books. Then I'm sure we'll come right

(01:58):
back. But in the meantime, there'll be
a massive panic and cuts and allkinds of justifications for
bullshit as a result of it. So it's a created, it's a forced
panic. We have some corruption going on
there. Holy shit, the Free Press.
Have we talked about Barry Weisson this show before?
Reef Have we talked about Barry Weiss?

(02:18):
I think we have. Unfortunately.
She got her payout and she got her her failure upwards.
It's not failure, it's a promotion for being a monstrous
fucking cunt. So and the con count has
started. So yes, Barry Weiss, you'll be
on that list tonight. And there was a bunch of stuff

(02:41):
happening around that, around that announcement.
Finally. Look, we knew it was coming.
We announced that it was coming weeks ago that Alan McLeod had
that Skydance was looking to potentially buy the Free Press
and merchant. We'll get into that later.
But we're going to talk about the Free Press being sold.

(03:04):
And and already Barry Weiss acting like Elon in his first
day at Twitter, she came in and tried to and it's like
immediately changing the narrative and changing the
agenda, which we expected her todo.
And then we're going to get intoa really special story about
about Aspen, about somebody who we talked about months ago, a

(03:28):
member of the family, you know, from the Assange protesting
days. And now she's facing decades in
prison. And we're going to do what we
can to help her and Descent and Bloom wrote an article that
really goes into her case. So I'm going to read that on the
show and go into it. I also did an interview with
them. I'll get into more of this, but

(03:49):
when we get into that segment later on, then we got a
lightning round with a couple ofquick items where again, we're
going to get to just headlines and a couple of paragraphs, but
they're longer articles that I didn't want to go through the
whole thing and take a whole show on its own.
We got Gofundmes. Then we'll get out of here.
We'll go do boat smashing and other boats, which is our React

(04:12):
show. Everybody likes to laugh and do
goofy shit, especially after allthe horrifying news that we're
going to talk about in the upcoming couple hours.
So buckle up. This is the the media, the news
that corporate media does not want to show you and the stories
that they don't want you to hear.
So please, if you're able to, and it means please support the

(04:33):
media you want to see. These are the amazing people
who've already done so that's our wall of fame.
The ways to do that are Cash App, use the The Signal, Dollar
Sign, Indy News Network, we got co-fee.com/indynews
networkpaypal.meslashindynewsnetworkthenwereliveandselfhostedover@indynews.now.com.There's a section there to keep

(04:55):
the media free. You can support there and then
there's INN newsletterandindymediatoday.com.
Those are our sub stacks, one for the network, one for me, and
we're actually live at indymediatoday.com right now, so
you can go watch us live there. Hi, everybody that is watching
right now live over on Sub Stack.
I see Kevin Wong just joined andHolly Hapsburg and Dinaz and

(05:18):
Carlton Sigler. I love being able to see who
joins on Sub Stack. That's great.
So we're going to start with, even though usually we go to our
second segments, Fuck Israel, we're going to start off tonight
with a fuck Israel segment. So I don't know if if Reef has
his his theme song for fuck Israel.
Apparently we've now got a themesong because we have have one

(05:39):
every week. So now there's there's music
towards that. Let me get to we're.
Working on it. All right, so we know there was
a ceasefire announced this week or at least last Sunday, and
except the terms of it were weird and that Hamas sort of
accepted it but wasn't at the signing.

(06:01):
And meanwhile, Gazans are marching N again, returning to
homes made of rubble, which we've shown the overhead drone
shots going to again, we're going to Indy media ward honoree
Mondo Weiss for this one. All right, that as Palestinians
return to the rubble, their homes, thank you.

(06:22):
The effects of the genocide are being felt amid heightened
social unrest. This war broke us.
It damaged our souls. We need decades to heal, which
of course they're not going to have because they're going to be
kicked the fuck out of there. Sadly, this picture of and this
was wow. Walking back to Gaza City.

(06:44):
OK, between this is from APA images.
I'm stunned and speechless. All right.
Yep. It was the moment everyone in
southern Gaza had been waiting for the chance to return to
their homes or what remained of them in Gaza City.
In northern Gaza, on October 10th, it's part of the first

(07:05):
phase of the ceasefire agreementreached between Israel and
Hamas. Bronze of people began the March
back north. Now remember that Israel had
just made them all March South, so now they're marching back N
moving up the coastal Arashid Rd. in a slight reminiscent of
Gazan's historic return March during the January March

(07:25):
ceasefire earlier this year. There's not supposed to be more
than one ceasefire in a year, guys.
It's not really a ceasefire if that's what happened on
Saturday. That's not how it works.
No, that's not how any of this works on Saturday morning.
Yes. A set a statement from the Gaza
Civil Defense said that over 300,000 people had made the trek

(07:47):
to Gaza City over the past two days.
Quote, no tents or mobile homes are available to house the
returnees from the South. UN quote.
Statement said. Of course not.
Israel bombed it when block by block after they cleared
everybody and killed everyone that was still left.
What the hell would be left? Ismail Thalwa Bada, head of the

(08:09):
Government Media office in Gaza,confirm that the over 300,000
residential units have been destroyed, while over 200,000
units were partially destroyed. This led to the displacement of
almost 2 million people from their homes, forcing them to
live in tents and harsh conditions.
Yes, we've known this for quite a while.

(08:31):
We've covered the tents and the tents that they literally had to
park right next to sewage in order to have a place to sleep.
Yep. The return movement is not
limited to the southern areas ofthe Strip.
Residents from Gaza City and Khan Yunis have also begun to
return to neighborhoods from which they were displaced during

(08:52):
the war, including eastern Khan Yunis Bahan and Al Batna Samin.
Those areas had been previously inaccessible due to Israel's
military presence there. They would basically shoot
everyone on site. As the Israeli army has
withdrawn from parts of the territory this place, families
are attempting to reclaim what remains of their homes.

(09:15):
Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to go well for them
because I think this is just temporary and we're going to
talk about that in a minute. Those returning describe a mix
of relief and devastation. We walked eight hours to reach
our neighborhood in Al Shujaya, said Mahmoud Wadi, one of the
returnees. When we arrived, we were shocked

(09:35):
by the destruction. My home is gone.
The entire area has been flattened.
Still, we're grateful to be backand to know the bombing you
stopped. But we're terrified over many
things. Our lives, our children, our
future. We don't know whether we'll live
in a tent again for a long whileor not.

(09:57):
We have no sense of what the future holds.
But we're grateful and happy that the war has ended.
Wow, I I. If it has.
Still grateful, but still grateful.
After all they've been through, after how many times they've
been sent to run Grateful. Waddy, like many others, has

(10:21):
begun gathering wood and fabric to build a makeshift tent near
the ruins of his home. We don't know where to go.
We don't know if schools still exist or whether they've been
destroyed, which they probably have.
None of us know what the future looks like.
Mahmoud Barbach, a resident of Khan Unison southern Gaza,
returned to his neighborhood in the eastern part of the city.

(10:44):
He said that four months ago, when he evacuated, his
neighborhood was still livable. Now there's nothing left.
There's no life here. All we ask is for the world to
help us clear the ruins and makeit possible again for us to live
with our families and our children to grow up here.

(11:04):
Wadi reflects what he and his loved ones have witnessed over
the past two years and what it'sdone to them.
This war broke us. It damaged our souls.
We need decades to heal and we need even more decades to
rebuild our homes. But we will do it, he added,
determined. And look at these pictures.

(11:25):
That's people standing amongst destruction caused by Israel
intentionally so they had nowhere to live.
Yeah, count the floors. Count the floors on those
buildings behind you. This isn't like rural shacks
that got pulled down. These are like apartment
complexes and business buildings.

(11:47):
And you know, this is cities, you know.
Yeah, on the ground, Gaza's Interior Ministry announced that
a new security plan for the Strip would be implemented as
Israeli forces began to withdraw.
The Interior Ministry and the National Security forces in Gaza

(12:10):
said in a statement that security forces will be deployed
in the areas where the Israeli army withdrew to secure both
public and private property and to manage the deliberate chaos
created by the Israeli army during the war.
It's also to stop these roving Israeli gangs like the one that
murdered this journalist yesterday, that that didn't

(12:32):
happen by the IDF, but certainlywasn't because it wasn't having
to. Nothing to do with the IDF.
When Israel broke the previous ceasefire in March and resumed
its genocidal campaign, one of the chief targets of Israeli
forces was civil servants in Gaza.
OK, working under the Ministry of the Interior, which included

(12:54):
the Gaza police force and interior internal security
forces, the systematic targetingof Hamas's means of of ensuring
civil order was intended to create a power vacuum in Gaza
and so chaos among the local populace.
It's also the only people who had guns.
Likely the Israeli army also funded an armed local criminal

(13:18):
gangs in Gaza as well as a number.
You're still doing. Yep, as well as the number of
local clans to fight with Hamas and loot humanitarian aid in the
strip, further deepening social polarization funding both sides
of the fight. Where have we seen that before?
Huh. Yep, couple of places.

(13:41):
Like here, those effects of those long months of social
disintegration are now being felt.
Of course they are. As the war winds down and the
Israeli army withdraws from designated areas, clashes and
infighting between Hamas membersand local clans have broken out
in parts of Gaza. During the war, the Ministry of

(14:03):
Interior had established the Arrow Force and Internal
Security Unit, meant to fight aid looters as well as clan
members that Hamas accuses of collaborating with Israel.
On Friday, members of the Arrow Force raided the residence of
the Dog Mush family in in Gaza City.
On the same day, clashes eruptedbetween Hamas members and other

(14:26):
families in their Al Ballah, resulting in the death of a
Hamas member. Hamas's redeployment in the Gaza
Strip caused fear among some groups that had been directed,
that had been directly working with the IDF throughout the war.
Most infamous among them, the hundreds of armed men in eastern
Rafa led by Yasser Abu Shabab, another group led by Hussam al

(14:51):
Astal and several others. You're not hearing any of these
names in any of these stories onCNN or MSNBC or CBS News now,
especially now that Barry Weiss is in charge.
Media users in Gaza mocked Abu Yasser Abu Shabaab's group as

(15:12):
the war's greatest losers amid reports that the IDF will not be
evacuating them from Gaza to protect them from Hamas
reprisal. So they're the IDF bailed on
these guys and is leaving them to the wolves effectively right
now. On the humanitarian front, the
Israeli backed in US run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation reef and

(15:36):
I both covered that quite a bit on this show and on INN news
feast operations as Israeli forces withdrew.
How convenient. They all just packed their shit
up and left and they were rejoicing.
They were, they were, you know, you could see the little pens
that they had set up that kind of stable people and gather them

(15:58):
up before they distributed food all taken down.
The GHF has been responsible forthe killing of over 1000
Palestinian aid seekers at its so-called humanitarian aid
distribution points, which have been described as death traps by
Palestinians and by Anthony Aguilar, who testified in front
of Congress about it on Friday evening.

(16:22):
Photos circulating online show GHF workers dismantling the
foundation's facilities in preparation to leave the Strip,
confirming that the GHF would beleft out of aid distribution
during the ceasefire. Good, get them the fuck out of
there. They never should have been
there in the first place. So that's our first part of the
Fuck Israel segment, which has got several portions to it.

(16:47):
This one is unbelievable. This is just a literally before
and after shot of overhead northof Gaza.
OK, according to Gaza notifications, has been wiped
off the map according and reduced to rubble by the IOF,

(17:10):
where they've literally been carving Stars of David in the
soil to market. But that's what it used to look
like on the left, and I'm going to let it run one more time.
And that's what it looks like now on the right.

(17:34):
Awful. Yep.
Fuck Israel for that. Next.
We've talked about this man quite a bit, and this was one of
the things that I said. Look, if it's a ceasefire, they
better let Osama Abu Safia out of prison or it's not really a
ceasefire. They're not really like, this

(17:56):
isn't really a peace agreement. It's a temporary pause.
Wait, what? Go start saying he's said to be
released. Not according to this.
Physically, they just came out. Oh wow.
Oh, that's. Literally like an hour ago.
Because part of my thing. Allegedly.
They weren't going to let him out, all right.

(18:17):
And that they that for 10 monthshe's been held without charge
and administrative prisoner. In reality, as a hostage, his
lawyer reports he's lost significant weight.
His health is deteriorating. He's suffering from scabies.
No charges, no trial, no justice.
Israel is not just. Israeli media under pressure

(18:38):
from mediators, the list of Palestinian prisoners have been
amended and Hassam Abu Safiya will be released from Israeli
prisons In a prisoner exchange deal names that the Knesset just
approved Mahmoud Ibrahim Mis Bashiq Muhammad Said Abdul
Rahman Sarhan, Rami Ibrahim Al Kalut Awad Safi Mubarak and Dr.

(18:59):
Hussam Idris Omar Abu Safiya. All right, well, that's amazing
news. But again, for 10 months, we've
been calling for him to be released.
He did nothing wrong. Yeah, he willingly walked into
their tank to have a conversation, and they kidnapped
him and threw him in a hole and tortured him.

(19:21):
So that would be incredible newsif he was actually getting let
out and set free and able to return home and recover.
And you know that the minute that guy recovers, he's running
right back to a fucking hospitalto take care of others because
that's the kind of person he is.I can tell you that right now,
and I've never met the man, but I can tell you that right now,

(19:44):
just for everything everyone's told us about him.
All right, there you go. If the Israeli Palestinian
agreement is implemented in fullto the letter, there will still
be numerous hostages that have not been released.
So again, while it's amazing news that he's going to be
potentially now, there will still be thousands in Israeli

(20:05):
prisons without charge, and let's not forget that.
But that is fantastic news if that's really what's going to
happen. So next I have an article from
Ricky over at Council State Media 2024 Indy Media Award
honoree for one of the best outlets out there.
All right, reminding people this, Israel has agreed to

(20:29):
another one of those ceasefires where Israel doesn't cease
firing. Oops.
They carried her out around 12 to 15 bombings after they
announced it and had already signed off on it.
This is what happens. The minute there's an an
agreement announced, they start upping the bombings.

(20:50):
So what happened here? According to Ricky, we finally
have a ceasefire in Gaza. Unfortunately, looks like one of
those. It's one of those ceasefires
where Israel keeps firing until the deal inevitably collapses
and the Western world blames Hamas.
Still, any ceasefire, even a flawed one, could lead to a
reduction in the number of deaths.

(21:11):
And a reduction is better than nothing, I guess.
And that's the, I guess, part ofthe, you know, ceasefire, I
guess, sort of phase one of the ceasefire supposed to be
underway. And Itmar war criminal Ben Veer
is livid, even though Israel seems to be massacring
Palestinians like normal. Here's footage of an Israeli

(21:33):
attack that took place shortly after the ceasefire was was
agreed. And I'm not going to play the
video, but you can go to, I'll put the link in.
You can watch these yourself. The civilians were reportedly
attacked by tanks while celebrating the announcement of
the ceasefire. It seems Israel decided to

(21:53):
postpone the ceasefire and massacre them out of pure spite.
There were many such more such attacks across Gaza, and the
first is understood to have taken place just 20 minutes
after the ceasefire was agreed. If this is a sign of things to
come, the hope of a reduction inthe killing rate might be

(22:14):
wishful thinking. One attack reportedly took place
as A at a residential home in AlShabra, where 40 people were
sheltering and four were killed.It's unclear the number of
injuries, but here's footage of one of the victims with the gore
blurred out. You can clearly see that it's

(22:44):
hard to know just how many attacks have taken place since
the ceasefire was agreed, because some reports could be of
the same incident. It seems to be in the range of
12 to 15 bombings, but given there's almost no journalist
left in Gaza, it's possible thatmore have gone unreported.
Here's footage of an explosion in Gaza that I understand also

(23:04):
took place earlier today from Reuters.
All right, fuck Reuters, I'm notplaying that.
If you have agreed to a ceasefire, there is no reason to
continue bombing unless your goal is not peace.
It's unclear exactly when the ceasefire was originally meant
to start, but Israel started withdrawing its troops a few

(23:27):
hours ago. Israel agreed to pull its forces
back to a line bisecting Gaza, but not to leave Gaza
completely, because of course not.
What that means in real terms isanyone's guess, but I'm assuming
Israel thinks it's fine for air attacks to continue.
Here's footage of a helicopter attack in Gaza City.

(23:49):
And here's footage of Israeli warplanes.
So to be clear, both of these air attacks took place after the
ceasefire agreement. Pulling back your forces.
I have your tweet, Reefs, don't worry.
Pulling back your forces but letting the bombs continue to
fall is not a ceasefire. It's just a break for your
soldiers. Let's not forget that we had a

(24:12):
ceasefire nine months ago and weall know what happened there.
Every time Israel agrees to a ceasefire, it goes on a massive
killing killing spree, as thoughit must get as much killing in
as possible. At the last minute.
It then decides that it didn't like the ceasefire terms and
abandons it. Obviously, I have 0 faith in

(24:36):
Israel honoring this ceasefire agreement, but let's take a look
at it anyway. The good piece of news is that
there will be a prisoner swap. Hamas will release all remaining
Israeli prisoners within 72 hours and Israel will release
about 2000 Palestinian hostages.The bodies of the dead will be

(24:56):
returned. While this is good, let's not
forget Israel will still have around 7 to 8000 Palestinian
hostages when this swap is complete, again without charges
in torture prisons. Israel, it seems, has the right
to keep hostages. The Rafa crossing will finally
open both ways, allowing in unrestricted humanitarian aid.

(25:20):
But of course, you know, the people still aren't allowed to
leave with the right to return, but that's a whole other story.
Israel's idea of unrestricted isdifferent to everyone else's,
but this aid will can will be coming through Egypt.
Importantly, the ceasefire does not allow for the forced
displacement of Palestinians, and it does allow for some

(25:41):
Palestinians to return home, meaning in that it is a major
roadblock for the Greater Israelproject.
More like a a speed bump. This explains why Bengveer is so
mad and why you believe that theceasefire will last.
It's all performative theater asfar as I'm concerned, and kind

(26:01):
of kicking the can down the roadcruelly.
That's, that's how I see it at least.
The next phase of the ceasefire would involve the dismantlement
of Hamas. However, Hamas would only agree
to disarm if there was a cast iron guarantee of no return to
war, which Israel wasn't able wasn't willing to do.

(26:23):
There is talk of a potential role for the Palestinian
Authority in the governance of Gaza, but given that Tony Blair
is meant to be taking over for the next 5 years, the situation
is clear as mud. The fearless Palestinians have
already begun returning N on foot, having walked across their
country multiple times throughout this genocide.

(26:46):
They will likely find their homes or rubble, and we found
out that they did, and they willface the threat of undetonated
explosives and dangerous conditions.
But even this would be an upgrade on the hell that they've
endured. Fuck Israel man.
Again. And the tweet that I'm talking

(27:07):
about is right here I believe ceasefire and it was from Rifad
originally and re quoted it. What usually happens in occupied
Palestine is that Palestinians cease and Israel fires.
Fuck Israel. Yep.
From the mouth of Rifat. So that was the Council of

(27:31):
State. And then we've got what's next.
Bondo Weiss. Here's another one.
The Israeli media is already reporting on a secret clause in
the Gaza ceasefire deal that no one is talking about.
And what do they do? They do it in Hebrew.
This is like they're communicating amongst themselves

(27:52):
and then they homogenize it or, you know, for, for a method, for
the English, for, you know, for the Westerners.
It's disgraceful. Right.
So Hebrew language, Israeli media reports that there is a
secret clause buried in the Kazaceasefire agreement that would
allow Israel to resume the war. You mean the massacre Again,

(28:15):
it's not a war when the other side isn't fighting back.
Palestinians worry that this is pretext.
Netanyahu needs to get out of completing the deal.
It's exactly what happened. And it's the same thing as what
he had permission to not go to the second phase.
And they told, they said that when it first happened last time
and then they did exactly that. The ceasefire deal between

(28:38):
Israel and Hamas could collapse due to an alleged secret clause
in the agreement that would allow Israel to resume the
massacre, according to reports in the Arab and he Hebrew
language Israeli media. That so-called clause would
reportedly be activated in the event that Hamas is unable to
locate all the Israeli captives within the 72 hour window

(29:01):
allotted to the Palestinian resistance group during the
first part of the deals implementation.
So all they have to do is claim that one person is has not been
returned and all this gets called off.
On Friday, Al Jazeera's Palestine Chief Bureau Walid Al
Omari, OK, pointed out on the network's live broadcast that

(29:23):
the second article of the deal concerning the release of
Israeli captives included a phase in phrase in the Hebrew
version about an undisclosed annex.
According to Al Omari, if Hamas fails to release all captives
dead and alive, a quote UN quotesecret clause in Appendix B
would be activated. Now I word is, and I'm going to

(29:46):
have this in a minute, but Al Jazeera in the West Bank got
raided and shut down as a result, probably.
Of this report, Israel's Can TV was the first to report on the
call on the clause, which was subsequently covered by another
by other Israeli media outlets. According to Can, an unnamed

(30:08):
source which had been exposed tothe content of the secret clause
said that it was stumbles of words.
Israel's Channel 13 also reported that an Israeli court
dismissed A petition to disclosethe secret contents of the deal,
citing security considerations. Sure, So they're just not not
allowed to tell us. Although the alleged clause

(30:32):
clause implies punitive consequences on Hamas in the
event of failing to meet the 72 hour deadline, Hamas official
Osama Hamdan said in an interview hours after the deal
was first announced that the time needed to find, gather and
release Israeli captives would depend on field conditions.
Hamdan added that locating the captives might take longer.

(30:57):
They're buried under rubble. They're in tunnels.
Who knows where. The entire communication system
and infrastructure system has been decimated.
It may take a little while, of course, Donald Trump also
admitted that finding the dead bodies of Israeli captives might
take longer than they anticipated, but that won't
change the fact that they're going to call off the deal in 72

(31:19):
hours. Hamas has officially denied the
existence of such a clause, Hamas official told Al Jazeera.
Quote that quote. The reported rumors concerning
the presence of secret clauses in the agreement to end the war
Gaza are completely untrue. I hope that's correct.
It doesn't really even matter ifthey think it's true or not.

(31:41):
If Israel believes it's true andsays it, it's going to be, and
if that's how they're going to act in accordance.
The potentially existence of such a secret clause has
reinforced already existing Palestinian concerns that
Benjamin Milikowski, war criminal, would seek to find a
way to sabotage the deal, Which of course he's going to.

(32:04):
Already in March, Israel broke the first ceasefire after the
release of all all civilian Israeli captives in the first
phase of the deal. So all civilians were already
released. Now we're just talking about IDF
captives who they've already started to set up the narrative,
were starved, right? OK, because they didn't starve

(32:25):
the rest of Gaza. But of course now the the
operatives are expected to give the Israeli captives the only
food that they have and keep them fed and not starving while
everyone else there stars. Which I'm betting.
No, they're going to come back now, initiated and starving if

(32:46):
they're alive. Last July, Hamas accepted a
proposed deal following talks through Egyptian and Qatari
mediators, while Netanyahu completely ignored it as
mediators waited for Israel's response.
And allegedly some big mediatorswere killed.
Some of the Qatari mediators or somebody was killed in Egypt

(33:08):
yesterday. Israel's just murdering
everyone. I, I'm going to accuse Israel.
I, I don't know if it's come outyet, but I'm sure it will be.
Moreover, the lack of any terms additional terms within the the
deal for the end of a war known as Trump's 20 point plan, has
contributed to the spread of such reports in Arab media

(33:29):
outlets. Issues related to disarmament,
Gaza's post war administration and Israel's withdrawal have all
been relegated until after the prisoner exchange.
When they can pull back and say,you know what, that's it, we're
going to get go back to bombing after they've already allowed

(33:50):
the people to walk all the way back north and they're going to
bomb again and make them run back to the South.
Yes, Dissent in Bloom says. I feel like they do these cease
fires so people return to their homes, making them sitting
ducks. It's like a sick game for them.
I totally agree. If they have all intent to break

(34:11):
the ceasefire, it's literally just forcing displaced, starving
people to once again migrate north and the hope that they
might be getting their homes back and then bomb them there or
displace them again and tell them they have to go back S
because they're going to take that land out too.
Israeli media reported late on Thursday that talks ended over

(34:33):
the names and numbers of Palestinian prisoners and
detainees set to be released As part of the deal.
Israel had reportedly vetoed thenames of Fatah leader Marwan
Baghdadi Bhargav Barghouti, the secretary general of the FPFLP,
Ahmad Sadat. Another Israeli veto was placed

(34:58):
on the names of 14 out of 303 Palestinians serving life
sentences because they're Palestinians who hold Israeli
citizenship. The final list of agreed upon
names still haven't been yet made public.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army began its withdrawal from Gaza
City and other parts of the Strip.

(35:19):
The Israeli army would remain incontrol of 53% of the Strip,
excluding urban areas. Yeah, like all the farmland, by
the way. Yeah.
Meanwhile, Palestinians have started to return to Gaza City
following the entry of the ceasefire into effect on Friday.

(35:39):
This comes after almost a month of Israel's largest offensive
yet on Gaza City, which includedthree army divisions and the
detonation of hundreds of remotely controlled and outdated
armored personnel carriers packed with explosives in
civilian neighborhoods. Did you talk about that on on
INN news or was it us that talked about that on on this
show? I don't even Remember Remember

(36:00):
I. Think it was.
I think it was us. But I but they were.
Sending. Yeah, like unmanned old
decommissioned Apcs into parts of the city.
Right. And blowing them up.
Which would take out a building with it.
Yeah, like full of C4. Yep, you know.

(36:23):
Before the. Announcement of the ceasefire.
Thursday, Israel had pushed around 900,000 Palestinians out
of Gaza City. Israel's war on Gaza, which they
announced following Hamas's October 7th attack, has killed
over 66,000. I'm not even going to use that

(36:43):
number again. Kareem made a post that if
you're still using that number you it it doesn't disservice to
the Palestinians. It's over a half a million
Palestinians. Again, 1/3 of we know who were
children under 18. The war displaced almost 2
million Palestinians and destroyed both the health and
education systems and infrastructure.

(37:05):
The war has been recognized as agenocide by the United Nations.
Again, it's not even a war because nobody has fought back
really in any substance since October 7th or October 8th.
And October 7th in many ways wasallowed to happen.
And we've seen multiple evidence.
And check out the dissident at the three o7.substack.com for

(37:29):
more on that. Just reminder, it's not a
ceasefire, it's a paused genocide, OK?
And that is from the Free JulianAssange Facebook group, which is
still active. So pardon Julian Assange, all

(37:50):
right? And fuck Israel.
So that's our Fuck Israel segment for this week.
I have hope for the Palestinian people, but I have no faith in
the Israeli people to honor the agreement that they've now
allegedly signed off on. And we will continue to call out

(38:12):
all the nonsense and call, try to hold Trump administration
feet to the fire on everything that they claim and fight for
these people because so few are and bless the people that are
fighting for them. Because you're on the right side

(38:32):
of history. And I think you all know that
the majority of the world sides with, with the Palestinian
people. Unfortunately, the leadership
and the big money sides with Israel.
Now we are not going to be re monetized by YouTube for a, for
a segment like that. So if you're able to what it

(38:53):

That was my joke. And yeah.
That's how it works. Stepped all over it.
But yes, Reece. Invisible.
Everybody, it's good to see you.I'm I'm glad you're all here.
Thank you for joining us. Thank you for hanging out with

(39:56):

that won't be covered covered oncorporate media.
Yes, that is such a dad joke. I am a dad, so I have earned the
right to do that. But thank you.
Vicki Adams, how are you? Good to see you Mastermind hour.

(40:17):
How are you, brother? So we've got all the family in
the house tonight. Everyone was there.
I saw it, beauty and the boomer last night.
They ran the one-on-one that I did with Shanda about her cancer
journey and her her kind of going back through her her
journey in independent media starting in 2016, 2018-2019, all

(40:41):
through the last four years of nonsense to where we are now.
And then getting diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and going
through that and ranting about the healthcare system and
ranting about Luigi and talking about health insurance and
Medicare for all and how that brought us all together.
All right, Cowboy Kitty, good tosee you, my brother and metal

(41:03):
Mama Sue. How are you over on Rumble?
We are live over on Rumble. We're live at YouTube.
Of course we're live on Kik and then of course on the sub
stacks. We are live on Odyssey and Bit
Shoot. They don't get a lot of love if
you're overwatching on bit Shoot.
Thank you. We are getting quite a few views
over there, so shout out to those who are watching over on
bit shoot, OK? My next thing is about this

(41:26):
whole crypto market crash which is shady as shit.
OK, unusual Wales is a little bit of a weird account, but in
this case, when it comes to the money, they got this one right.
Look at this. This happened on yesterday, 7:30
in the morning. A new crypto account was opened

(41:48):
yesterday morning. On Friday, 30 minutes before
Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a
huge multi $1,000,000 leveraged Bitcoin short position, per YF
Yahoo Finance. The market dumped the trader
made a profit of $192,000,000 intwo hours, which certainly is

(42:14):
unusual. All right, should this be
investigated? What stonks?
Yes, stonks. All right, So what, what the
Hell's going on here? So I I rely heavily on Michelle
de Cryptodamas to tell me because they've been fantastic
at calling out all the corruption in the crypto market
and they really understand the score.

(42:35):
Crypto markets have their largest mass liquidation event
in history. This is how the crypto industry
really makes its money by mass liquidations of its customers
who are trading with absurd amounts of leverage.
And again, according to Coin Bureau, this was like the
biggest drop in history. And you see all that Sea Red

(43:00):
Finance, that's BNB down 14% in a day, Bitcoin down almost 8%,
Ripple dropped 21% XRP, Solana 13 and change percent, a massive
market correction, which then ofcourse rippled over into the
stock market because the stock market is leveraged within

(43:22):
Bitcoin. So when Bitcoin drops by 7 1/2%,
the public Bitcoin holding companies all start to panic and
their assets drop. So again, according to Michelle,
same thing someone put in that huge Bitcoin short position 30
minutes before Trump announced his new China tariffs had made

(43:43):
almost 200 million in under an hour.
See my post below for more on what's going on to be in what's
going to be an incredibly commonnew strategy for trading off
insider government info. Right.
So what's going on here? So back in April, Michelle wrote

(44:04):
an article on how to insider trade and influence people with
tariffs, meaning that you leverage announcement of tariffs
with changing of markets and purchase of crypto.
And what it says here is that days where the stock market
gains 10% on proclamations of a bad Orange King are far more

(44:27):
correlated with impending disaster than with strength,
right? And this again was from back in
April, April 10th. So we're talking five months
ago, right? Ever since last week's big
reveal of the nonsensical Trump tariff equation, remember that
Americans have been trying to come to grips with the fact that

(44:49):
their nation's future prosperity, or lack thereof,
seems to be wholly dependent on a series of increasingly
unhinged prop proclamations emanating from the phone of an
economically illiterate and extremely orange Mad Men.
It's a decidedly less than political ideal reality.

(45:09):
OK, that stands in stark contrast to the utopia of
rational citizens making cool headed and well informed
decisions that populates economists erotic fantasies
about how the country's EconomicAffairs should be conducted.
Right. Not since FDR, as an American
president, attempted to affect anything even in the ballpark of

(45:33):
the kind of direct intervention in the nation's economy that
Trump has been bungling his way through over the last few weeks.
And again, that was from months ago.
One gets the sense that Americans don't even know what
to make of what's happening to them because there's nothing in
history to compare it to. Even FDR makes for an extremely
poor comparison. Sure, he did a lot of

(45:55):
interventionist and vaguely central planning stuff, but he
did those things after convincing Congress to pass laws
that gave him the power to do them, which is, you know, how
the American Constitution says the president's supposed to do
this kind of thing? Trump, on the other hand, showed
up to the free market drunk, punched Congress's girlfriend in

(46:18):
the tits, and proceeded to throwa series of January 6th gang
signs before grabbing the steering wheel of the
steamroller of American Free Enterprise and using it to
execute a series of highly performative Donuts directly on
top of your stepmom's flower beds Steamroller doughnuts.
Each one cheered on more than more enthusiastically than the

(46:40):
last by a cavalcade of Botox ghouls from Fox News and OAN and
Newsmax and the entire consortium of and it media
connected podcasts caught red handed taking millions of
dollars from Russian intelligence less than a year
ago. That was the whole Tim Pool
thing. But Tim.
Right. That that spun a little weird.

(47:02):
It wasn't a Russian thing as I was, but they they weren't
effective in their narrative. They were just trying to buy off
saying that they influenced Tim Poole.
I think it was more to discreditTim Poole than actually by
influence. It's a trajectory of government
takeover that's unrecognizable to the American electorate,

(47:23):
though I have a bad feeling thatanyone who lived through the
attempt of a populist strong land like Robert Mugabe, Viktor
Orban, or especially Hugo Chavezto place themselves at the
center of a new and improved centrally planned economy would
feel the shock of recognition. This is not a playbook that
hasn't been used before. American economic catastrophes

(47:46):
aren't rare. A big one usually rears its
monstrous head at least every decade or two.
But what's different this time is that in the before times,
America's catastrophes were all bottoms up grassroots affairs,
albeit one shaped by bad incentives dispensed from above.
They emerged from herd behavior,the madness of crowds, if you

(48:08):
will, Whereas if and when this catastrophe hits will be an
entirely top down affair which floweth from a single orange
mine. I disagree with that, too.
Which is not to say that catastrophes brought on by the
madness of crowds are in some way less serious.
They are America, being a capitalist society built on a

(48:30):
population whose gene pool is overflowing with the DNA of
ancestors who fell for a dubious18th century get rich quick
scheme called subsistence farming in the New World is in a
lot of ways susceptible to them.What usually happen, OK, often
quite large subset of the population manages to hypnotize

(48:52):
itself with whatever the latest and greatest model of get rich
SQUIP get rich quick scheme happens to be at the time dot
coms and MC mansions. Yeah, remember those Tesla and
crypto? Now it's AI, right?
They're just jumping from Fed toFed.
But whether those catastrophes were worse or not, it's beside

(49:12):
the point. Being driven into the jaws of
economic catastrophe by a singledeeply and flawed orange mine.
Again, it's not. It's by the people behind that
orange mine is new to the American experience.
Again, he's not thinking this onhis own.
He's got people putting this shit in his head.
Come on Michelle, there's never been an American equivalent, Mad

(49:35):
King George or Caligula, becauseAmerica, somewhat famously,
doesn't have kings or emperors. Again, this was before all the
No Kings rallies nonsense and the astroturf that's been.
Happening. Since which by the way is a
total DNC get out the vote thing, they're doing another one
next Saturday on the 18th and I would advise.

(49:56):
Oh, I'm sure AOC and Bernie's all going to be there, right?
Like It's Elizabeth Warren will make an appearance.
All right, it's a get out the vote effort for Democrats to try
to fear monger their base and fear monger.
Independent be a bunch of those inflatable frogs.
Right. And it will you.
Know. Sadly nothing, but it will give

(50:18):
that the right wing the meat to a potentially ramp up attacks
and then claim that the crowds were violent.
All right, but also to, you know, use this, it's US against
them and they're up against us and why are they trying to stop
us? It's just narrative.
The whole thing sets up their narrative and US against them is

(50:41):
exactly what they want. OK.
One would be hard pressed to name any point in the timeline
of American history where a single orange faced Jackass with
a comb over could burn down all the world's major financial
markets simultaneously. His name was Joe Biden.
I disagree with that 100%. That's wrong.

(51:03):
No longer. Every time Donald calls printer
girl into his office to take some rage tweet dictation, the
Dow, NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, Footsie, Nikkei, Hang
Sang, Dax and more cower with fear.
And I don't think they cower with fear.
I disagree with that too. I think they're loving this
because a he knows they know he's going to end up probusiness

(51:26):
in the end, pro America in the end, which they all are, and
they're going to make money on the way up and down with the
fees. What they're going to hurt what
he wants to do is hurt China. For those who have investments
in China are shitting their pants, but most of them aren't.
But the point here is to get to the thing about tariffs because

(51:49):
he announced 100% tariffs on China this week and that's what
caused the market to panic and amassive sell off to happen.
Tariffs is, as man reminds us, Donald Trump's favorite word in
the English language. Again, it's not his favorite
word. It's Howard Lutnick's favorite
word, Not his plan, it's Lutnick's.

(52:10):
He's publicly called it the mostbeautiful word the many too many
times to count because he's a moron.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
Well, it's making him wealthy, so it it is beautiful to him.
I for one, can think of an incredible number of words more
beautiful than tariffs. As can I.
But tariffs is not a word without its merits.

(52:33):
As far as magic words go, tariffs is actually quite
malleable. It's awesome.
Market moving power can be tempered and or redirected just
by changing up the words placed around it.
For instance, again, if Trump had tweeted something like this,
Chairman G can suck my Dick because America is going to make
the biggest tariffs ever #maga the bigliest then investors

(52:58):
around the world. Will.
Right, will quite reasonably start worrying that an orange
man menace about to hurl the world's second largest economy
into a trade war against the world's largest economy and
global markets would crash. If on the other hand, he raged
tweets some weak sauce excuse ortemporarily postponing those

(53:20):
same bigliest tariffs ever, investors will assume that the
trade war has been called off and prices will hopefully go
back up to roughly where they were before the now postponed
bigliest tariffs ever were announced.
And again, somebody makes money on the way up and down
throughout that, obviously. A little trolling, it's called

(53:41):
We Do a Little Trolling. Right, exactly.
And and he would also say thank you very much.
Thank you very much. That's really nice.
Thank you. Right.
So obviously if you know with certainty that the price of a
thing is about to go up or down,you can make money by buying
that thing, waiting a bit, and then selling it to someone at

(54:01):
the new or and higher price. How much money you can make
depends mostly on the size of the market.
Bigger markets with more participants present more
opportunities to make trades happen.
And what's the biggest, most liquid market in the world?
America's financial markets are so massive and so liquid that

(54:22):
you can make millions of dollarsjust by knowing that the price
of a single company's stock is going to go up by 5% in the next
30 minutes. Now imagine how much money you
could make if you knew that the same share price of every single
publicly traded American corporation was about to go up
by 5% in the next 30 minutes. Put all that stuff together, and

(54:45):
this is the picture that emergesas of April.
Anyone who knows the stock priceof a company's about to go up or
down and make a lot of money. Or a crypto.
By the way, anyone who knows that the stock price of every
company in the United States is about to go up or down can make
an almost unlimited amount of money.

(55:07):
Trump's mean tweets have the power to make the stock price of
every company in America go up or down anytime he wants to.
He also can single out a specific company and make it go
up or down anytime he wants to, and he's done that before.
Anyone who knows what Trump's next mean tweet will say about
tariffs knows when stock prices of every company in America will

(55:30):
go up or down. That's what just happened to to
cause the market to crash. But someone cashed out $200
million within 30 minutes of that happening.
That's what was being described here.
And it didn't happen through stock.
It happened through crypto, which is just another way for

(55:52):
the Trump admin to launder moneyat this point.
Now, what's really interesting is I also brought this from
Cohen Telegraph, which points out that three Bitcoin charts to
watch after the price fell from over 125,000 to 103,000.
It was again A7 or 8% correctionmore more than that all right,

(56:14):
but it's already back to 111 or 112,000.
But what I wanted to to show wasthat the price had already
rebounded by 8 1/2% all right, and it but it still remains down
11% from its record high that earlier in the week. 103,000 is
still insanely high. Insanely.

(56:36):
High. And it's only going to go up
from here. The speculation is that it's
going to go nowhere but up from here.
Actually, can bitcoins recovery extend further?
Three charts indicate favorable technical conditions for a
potential rally in the coming days or weeks.

(56:58):
All right, that the trend was unfazed by a $5.3 billion
wipeout. If they can absorb that and just
move on, that's bad for everybody else because they're
not going to be able to sustain,but the institutional investors
will. It's dangerous.

(57:23):
And remember our friend Golden Monarch, who's probably losing
his mind in the in the stream. He just showed up.
Welcome my brother OMB. All right, that Bitcoin is a
Zionist manipulation project. OK, then it's it's all fake and
then it's all manipulation at this point.
And this entire run up and the scarcity and all of it is I

(57:48):
don't want to call it a Ponzi that we have in the past because
a Ponzi is them trying to sell you on something.
But here they're using hype to sell you, and they're not
directly promising returns, but they're using their they're
little hype monsters like that Valentina Gomez and Max Keiser
and their little dancing clowns Dominic Bey to tell you how

(58:12):
great their returns are. And you know.
It's like, Matthew, let's go free money to pay your bills,
like they have an infrastructure.
So yes, I think I believe that all the money that's put into
Bitcoin is sucked out and put into some other investment
vehicle. It doesn't just sit there, but
you have to tie up your money while it sits there and you get

(58:35):
no use of that money and no return on that money until you
sell. To me, it's the worst kind of
investment there is and it's notreally an investment.
Good time with your Bitcoin, though some have.
Bought low and everything else that you're playing with.
Some have bought low and sold high, all right, and they've
made money out of it. And the ones who have done the

(58:58):
best are the ones that converteda crypto wallet into actual real
world property. Like Charlie Robinson that
leveraged his Bitcoin actually by the activist post and
purchased a media entity which was at one point on the top 100
list of banned websites and reignited it, right, Neilio

(59:20):
Nostrum. This is why we need a moneyless
system. Just saying.
Agreed. All right, they can fill the
bubbles that pop with the push of a button.
Now we already kissed reality goodbye a while ago and sounds
like Mikhail has been studying up and really sees what's
happening and that they're really just using crypto to
introduce digital currency, which is going to eliminate, you

(59:44):
know, physical cash and allow them to become gatekeepers and
control where your wallet will work and where it won't.
And of course, in order to activate your wallet, you'll
need to have a smartphone with an app on it that they can track
and they can tell you exactly they can tell exactly where your

(01:00:06):
wallet has been and what you canand can't buy.
Potentially really scary. So we're not going to get re
monetized. You know what YouTube likes
Crypto, but. We don't.
We're not monetized on YouTube. So if you're able to support,
try to do it a different way. Cash App, Dollar Sign, Indy News

I see Cindy over at the Revolutions continues.

(01:00:51):
Good to see you and INN newsletter.com again.
We're going to be there live later for our react show, which
is boats smashing into other boats.
Ghost starts over on Rumble as well.
If I roll pipe tobacco because it doesn't have the oh that you
roll pipe tobacco, it doesn't have the chemical additives.
Interesting. I gave up.

(01:01:12):
To you, just not. To 15 years ago, yeah, I I quit
the backy. I just wrote the wacky tobacci
now. Agreed, I don't even smoke it
anymore. Practically, we vape.
We vape it so OK. So eat it. #3 We're going to
talk a little bit about media control and manipulation.

(01:01:35):
We talked a little bit about Al Jazeera earlier and the fact
that Israel was trying to influence Al Jazeera in West
Bank after shutting it down in in Gaza.
I believe they're now shutting down the one in West Bank.
And part of it was after this kind of report, the Trump and

(01:01:59):
Netanyahu forced Qatar to purge Al Jazeera.
And again, didn't hear this discussed anywhere else but
Israel. Palestine News is an excellent
outlet that is another aggregator and brings in
specific news dedicated to Israel and Palestine, run by, I
think her name is Alison Weir. She is on Twitter at If

(01:02:24):
Americans Knew. Israeli journalist Amit Siegel
writes on October 6th and his blog It's Noon in Israel, quote.
My Israeli Channel 12 colleague Ahud Yaari explained that quote.
Qatar is counting out carrying out a purge at Al Jazeera.
The director's gone, the deputy's gone.

(01:02:46):
And this comes together with a gradual softening of the
network's editorial line. For example, Al Jazeera now,
instead of praising and boastingthe actions of Hamas's military
wing, is focusing more on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Why? Well, this is apparently part of
an understanding between them and the United States under

(01:03:09):
which Al Jazeera will reduce theamount of incitement it spreads
throughout the Middle East, Yaari explained.
Refresh my memory, reef. There was an announcement this
week about a base in South Dakota being licensed.
What country again was it that? What country was it again that

(01:03:32):
was allowed to have that base? I think it was Qatar I.
Believe it was. Qatar, I remember correct.
And and and where is Al Jazeera based again?
Qatar. Oh, right, OK, I think I'm
starting to see what happened here.
Wanting more information, I asked an intelligence official

(01:03:54):
for their thoughts. Here's what they told me.
Quote Yesterday I read several times that Hamas is very unhappy
with changes at Al Jazeera. The two had even had an apology
call, according to the official,during which they agreed upon
the fact that Trump and Netanyahu forced the Qataris to
change direction. But did the official buy this

(01:04:16):
narrative? I thought they were fantasizing,
they said. But then I happened to see this,
and then I went to Al Jazeera's home page, which really doesn't
look the same as it did a week ago.
Back then it had dozens of articles about Gaza against
Israel. Now you can see for yourself a
neutral main headline, another fairly neutral one about the
flotilla, and that's it. The bottom line, if this is a

(01:04:39):
real shift, it's a huge game changer, they said.
So look for Trump and Netanyahu to now be controlling the
narrative at Al Jazeera. Amit Sega is an Israeli
journalist and television personality, he says chief
political analyst for Israel's leading news outlet Channel 12

(01:05:01):
News and the country's most readnewspaper, Israel Hayom.
Which means today Siegel also anchors Israel's highly watched
Meet the Press show on Channel 12.
This isn't the first time Kotterhas been pressured to censor Al
Jazeera. An Al Jazeera documentary about
the Israel lobby in the US was censored when Jewish Americans

(01:05:24):
such as Dershowitz Dershe Schwartz pressured Qatar to
block it. It did play in the UK that was
called the Lobby and it exposed several Americans, including
Marshall from the realignment. I think what's his name?
Kozlov. And then Jordan Chatel, who they

(01:05:49):
outed as an agent, an operative who was writing op eds on behalf
of the IDF in Israel and maybe Mossad, but doing it behind the
shadows without letting anyone know who he was working for.
Total conflict of interest as a journalist.
He was a propagandist. And in truth, I he almost got in

(01:06:12):
the media award on and we started looking him up and we
found this and we were like, holy shit.
But that wasn't the only outlet that's now being further
controlled by Zionists. Famously.
We've been talking about how Paramount and Skydance.
Skydance bought Paramount Skydance is the company run by

(01:06:33):
Larry Ellison's son David. Multi billions of dollars.
Skydance then purchased the FreePress this week, which closed.
The Free Press is one of the largest Sub Stack outlets,
valuated over $100 million, funded by VC and private equity,
and now bought out by Paramount and Skydance, where they then

(01:06:58):
have promoted Barry Weiss to thehead of CBS News.
Now the day Barry Weiss, who used to work The New York Times,
quit in 2020. There's always a Rifat tweet.
Anti Israeli, anti Palestinian bigot Barry Weiss will get a
better and more paying, more paying job.

(01:07:19):
That was July 14th 2020 and he knew exactly what was happening.
And of course Barry Weiss he famously he accuses of having
him personally targeted and murdered.
And hopefully his ghost will haunt her for the rest of her
life. Right?
But according to Decenter News, it's official Paramount and its

(01:07:42):
chairman and CEO David Ellison, son of Larry, have now confirmed
reports that it's acquiring Barry Weiss's Free Press.
And Weiss will report join CBS News as editor in chief and
report directly to Ellison, not to the board of CBS.
By passing. She has no boss except for the

(01:08:02):
guy that bought the company. OK, according to this that's
just their own press release so who cares right?
Bullshit now bullshit. The man who was very excited
about this and the the the company that is most excited

(01:08:23):
about this. I think other than the people
who worked at the Free Press andthe the VC investors that got
cashed out coming to a Substack newsletter near you would be the
owners and Co founders of Substack that have seen now one
of their publications that was built exclusively on their
platform from nothing be sold for $150 million.

(01:08:46):
And because they don't see that capitalism, well, they don't see
that it's a mechanism to controlone of the most influential
allegedly, but one of the largest subscriber based outlets
there is on that platform and then control that narrative.
OK, it's So what? Hamish, who is ever the optimist

(01:09:11):
and the capitalist. There's never been a better time
to start a media company. The Free Press went from zero to
150 million in acquisition in three years.
Teams of Teo run by shitlib Mehdi Hassan and run by and.
Invested by. By Private Equity, The Bulwark,
another shitlib outlet, and Emily Sundberg, who I don't even

(01:09:34):
know, all right, but she's also a top seller.
And many more. I would guess Matt Taibbi in the
racket news are all on similar trajectories.
He believes that media businesses will be among the
most profitable opportunities inthis new era as long as they're
willing to kowtow to Israel's line and bullshit.

(01:09:54):
We need human connection and understanding more than ever.
And remember that strike. Controls good for happy Gilman.
Oh my God. Remember that Stripe controls
the financial monetization aspect of this.
Stripe is run by a Zionist, and Stripe is wanting to be able to
have control over whether they can monetize you or not based on

(01:10:14):
what you say. So there's an article here that
say Hamish should share the homefor media startups.
I'm not going to share it, but they did a live stream, Hamish
and Chris to kind of brag and spike the football a little bit.
So yes, Sir and I and I jumped onto this live stream and I and

(01:10:35):
I congratulated them because it is a big thing for them as a
company that built this platformthat within three years had a
company emerge from it that was sold for that kind of money.
That's So that's an accomplishment one way or
another, whether you like them or.
Not and your nose got brown for doing it.
Shut up because I couldn't even say it.
I got censored I said it felt like I was censored and from

(01:11:01):
chatting during this live streambut saw that others were able to
chat. Is there a reason why?
I wanted to ask if there was going to be a mechanism allowed
added to allow a business to transfer a sub stack to a new
primary e-mail address if it's sold like in this case of the
Free Press. You know, Barry Weiss doesn't
want to hand over her personal e-mail address to Parava, but I

(01:11:23):
guess for $150 million she couldhave another one.
But still, it's. Kind of weird.
My understanding is that it's not possible this time to even
transfer a publication hoping that a sale of this size would
get leadership to look at that and try to allow for that to
happen in the future. Also, thanks to my friend

(01:11:43):
Michael down in South Africa, I understand that publications
can't be split out from their owner's original account and
transferred to different owners in case of sale either.
Doesn't make much sense. It started as a discussion about
what happens to a publication when someone dies, but quickly
evolved into more. So I went to put that in here on

(01:12:07):
the chats and you can see that Itried to enter that and there's
a chat afterwards. Well, I find out afterwards,
somebody pointed out that the reason why you couldn't chat was
because it's a paid subscriptiononly.
They they gatekeeper, they paywalled their own chat.
It's at a publications discretion, he says.

(01:12:30):
I personally see this good policy, otherwise dissenters may
tend to troll. That's annoying no matter what
your political orientation or views are in any particular
subject. However, the downside is usually
paid Subs applaud whatever said so you generally don't get
robust discussion in my experience.
And what I said was, yeah, OK, if you're a creator, It's one

(01:12:51):
thing if it's your platform and you're going live publicly, but
yet you're going to filter out who can speak by only the ones
that pay you? That's fucked up.
Not the best look, especially when they talk about being
champions of free speech. Agreed.
I'm sure they're aware of possible pushback and they don't

(01:13:13):
give a shit. These announcements are managed.
You bet they are. And So what happened over at the
Free Press immediately or over at CBS News as soon as Barry
Weiss took over? Well, the first thing she did
was she booked a panel discussion with former
Secretaries of State including Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza

(01:13:36):
Rice. So I found this funny.
Post a note over on Substack by The Good Citizen.
Barry Weiss is a genius. Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza
Rice talk about working for Israel like Barry does. 145 live
viewers at 5 different nursing homes tuned in to watch it live.

(01:13:59):
Worth every one of the six bazillion shekels paid by the
Zio, CIA, Mossad, Ellison familymoney laundered in from Tel
Aviv, looted from the district of Khabad.
The worse the propaganda gets, the more money they will pay
half wits like Barry to keep thebar extremely low.
Then it doesn't matter what made-up the value they put on

(01:14:22):
their slop because it all comes from West Israeli taxpayers
anyway. 1100 people watching twoformer secretaries of state live
on a major fucking network. That's go to the polls, dude,
Jimmy. Dore has this photo sometimes.
That. This photo shut.

(01:14:43):
This photo, first of all, is like historic.
It should be printed for years only because they're trying to
equate Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice as different,
right? When they are the same, like as
is Barry Weiss. Yep, like they are just past,

(01:15:07):
present and future all in one. All in one thing like.
Apparently, the new boss had something to say.
All right. The Writers Guild urged CBS News
staffers not to respond all right to Barry Weiss's info

(01:15:28):
seeking memo until the company provides details on the purpose
of her e-mail. What?
What's going on here? And this is an exclusive, all
right, that to to Variety. So that's why I'm bringing the
Variety article. The Writers Guild of America
told union employees that it represents at CBS News and not

(01:15:51):
respond to an e-mail requesting information sent the staff by
Barry Weiss, the Free Press founder who this week was
appointed CBS News's editor in chief.
Until CBS provides more details on what the purpose of
permissive is, including whethertheir replies could serve as a
basis for discipline, discharge or layoff, I would say that it

(01:16:13):
would. The Free Press launched by
conservative leaning Weiss in 2021 was acquired this week by
Paramount Skydance, parent of CBS, as part of the deal
reported to be worth 150 million.
Weiss's oversight of CBS News's editorial operations.
Weiss told CBS News staffers in a memo Friday morning that she

(01:16:36):
was eager to understand how you spend your working hours and
ideally what you've made or are making that you're most proud
of. He asked every employee at the
news division to send her a memoproviding these details by
Tuesday. As well as your views on what's
working, what's broken or substandard, and how we could be

(01:16:58):
better. Weiss said all responses will be
held in the strictest of confidence.
This is remember. What?
What? Musk did to all the federal
employees, made them write up a letter saying how you spend your
week and it had to be due by Friday at 5 or your fire.

(01:17:19):
Right. In an e-mail to Writers Guild
members obtained by Variety, union Rep said quote We're aware
that Barry Weiss sent an e-mail asking CBS employees to provide
information about their jobs andfeedback about CBS News.
Many of you have expressed your concern to us about the purpose
of the e-mail, and we share those concerns.

(01:17:40):
That's why we sent the company an immediate demand to provide
information about the e-mail by Monday.
We suggest that you refrain fromresponding until we're able to
share the information that we receive so that you can make an
informed decision by the Tuesdaydeadline.
The Writers Guild e-mail was sent by Michael Isaac, director
of the broadcast cable streamingnews and field reps Brandon and

(01:18:03):
field reps Brandon W, Sophie, Morton and Dean.
Whoever his name is doesn't matter who it is.
Reps for CBS, of course, did notimmediately respond to requests
for comment. Because they're not going to
Writers Guild. E represents unionized employees
at CBS News as well as CBS News Digital, likely based in New
York and DC. Weiss's memo to CBS News team

(01:18:28):
called to mind a program established by the Trump admin
earlier this year by the Doge led by Elon Musk.
Starting in February, he demanded the federal workers
file every week a list of five things that they had
accomplished in the past week. Failure to respond will be taken
as a resignation, he had writtenin a post on Twitter announcing

(01:18:51):
the policy. In August, the White House
officially ended those five things.
Weekly emails. They had to do it every week for
six fucking months. Copy, paste, copy, paste, copy,
paste, copy, paste. Nobody ever looked at it.
But in the case that they ever wanted to use it against you for
any reason, they then had that on on file per the union.

(01:19:16):
Per the e-mail from the the union reps, the union has asked
for the following information from CBS.
Who received the e-mail? Who will have access to the
responses that the employees provide?
Will employees responses be on the basis be the basis for
discipline, discharge or layoff?Will employees be disciplined if
they don't respond? What does the company intend to

(01:19:38):
do with the responses? Will the company use AI
technology to review the responses and if so, what
prompts will be given and what steps will be taken to ensure
that the results are non discriminatory?
To which Skydance will say we'rea private company go fuck
yourself, which I'm sure we're about to read according to a

(01:19:58):
memo from Paramount Skydance CEODavid Ellison Weiss will ensure
help ensure that our reporting remains relevant, accessible and
most importantly Israel friendlytrusted in this new era for
American media. So remember, they've now taken
over TikTok, they've now taken over CBS News, and they've now

(01:20:19):
taken over one of the largest sub stack publications in the
world, all in the span of about.Three months.
Fuck Israel. Because that's who's of course
behind most of this and why thisis all happening is to shut down
the narrative. So start a Substack.

(01:20:44):
Maybe. Maybe Oracle will buy you out.
Maybe Larry Ellison if you're ifyou're a Zionist friendly
outlet, there's money there. That's I guarantee you.
That's what Matt Taibbi is hoping on.
That's why he's kept his mouth shut.
Substack newsletter near you. All right, everyone on Substack
is saying general strike. Well, we would have to start by
general striking Substack. I think I think that would be

(01:21:07):
your first step would be not publishing there.
Make them feel it as well as general strike across the board
for sure. But if if you're going to
continue to publish on that platform that just benefited
massively from Barry Weiss selling out and now being made

(01:21:27):
one of the chief propagandists and one of the largest, you
know, corporate media outlets inthe world, that's where we got
to start. And maybe we all start to exit
and exodus sub stack. That might be the way to go.
And the problem is, I don't think that they care if we
leave. They don't.
The best place, honestly, the revolution continues.

(01:21:49):
What best place to publish outside of sub stack?
We're doing it over at WordPressthat is self hosted and open
sourcewordpress.org. You can get yourself some server
space and download wordpress.orghosted on your own server and
nobody can take you down as longas they don't take down your
host or your ISP. But you also don't get the

(01:22:10):
massive reach and engagement that the investment in that,
that the sub stack founders havemade that we all benefit from
the referral network and everything else.
So it's it's a double edged sword, but the point is, is that
if we really are talking about general strike, we've got to be
willing to general strike publishing to their platforms as

(01:22:31):
well. That includes YouTube, that
includes Rumble self publish andyou have to find us there, you
know, underground radio, underground kind of live
streaming. And that's why we created Indy
news.now.com. Exactly why unfortunately the
only way to chat right now is through Discord, another one of

(01:22:53):
those massive platforms. We're not going to be re
monetized by YouTube for talkingabout this and challenging
corporate media's rule and control.
So if you're able to what a means, please support the media
you want to see by contributing over at Cash App, Dollar Sign,
Indy News Network. You could have co-fee.com/indy

(01:23:14):
News network, You got PayPal dotme slash Indy news network.
OK, you got Indy news.now.com. I just mentioned that.
And then we've got the newsletters over at
substackindymediatoday.com. We're monetized there for now
and INN newsletter.com that's done through Stripe.
If Stripe ever decided they wantto shut us off, we'd be in a lot
of trouble because that's where a lot of the money that we earn

(01:23:37):
comes from and is being filteredthrough.
PayPal is the other way. The third way is the Stripe, not
Stripe via Cash App, which goes through block slash square,
which is a Jack Dorsey company. You know the these payment
processors, you can't get away from them sadly.

(01:24:00):
Come on Pancake, I don't share your enthusiasm and hope for
pancake go start. I'm sorry.
Yeah, I no, no, no, I would avoid that and if.
It got anywhere close to that big enough they would just buy
it, take it over or they would DDoS it until it got dismantled.

(01:24:21):
I genuinely feel that way. Like no platform.
Is going to be able to. Exist in this environment
anymore and and grow to the point of having that level of
influence if Israel and the Zionist lobby doesn't want it
to. OK, we're going to get to the
Aspen story now, all right. This is this is a very personal

(01:24:45):
story for all of us. All right, so this is one of the
tweets that I made about it. But I'll start by saying that,
you know, we've been Assange activists for the better part of
five years. Even since he got let out of
prison, there's still a group ofactivists that stay in touch and

(01:25:07):
and network and are connected. And one of the activists who
was, yes, the Julian Assange's, one of the activists in the
United States who held everyone together was Halo Benson of
Oklahoma. For Assange, Halo had put
together letter writing campaigns and postcard campaigns

(01:25:29):
and went out and protested at her local offices, government
offices, and hosted a showing inher local movie theater of
Ithaca, which was the documentary that Julian's father
and brother had made about him being arrested and and the
struggle to get him out. And we love Halo.

(01:25:51):
Halo's family about 5 months ago.
And Halo has a daughter named Aspen.
And Halo, I think, has another kid.
Also about five months ago, Haloreached out and said that Aspen
was in some trouble. And we actually talked about it
on this show. And we should we put up her
GoFundMe at the time. But Aspen got caught and she got

(01:26:13):
arrested. And we're going to talk about
her story and the eloquent and brilliant descent in Bloom,
thankfully. Listen to me rant and talk about
Aspen's story and about what happened and decided to look
into it a little further, research the whole thing and
write herself an article and write everyone an article to

(01:26:34):
really understand just what happened here, what we're up,
what Aspen is facing, and what we might be able to do to help.
And so she wrote this article and we are now all hands on deck
trying to share and raise awareness and help raise money
for this legal defense fund. The article reads that quote the

(01:26:59):
headline. She was starved, neglected and
degraded, yet she held her humanity.
My tweet was that this is a horrifyingly frightening article
by Descent and Bloom about the story of Aspen Martin and her
mother Halo Benson. Please read this and help if you
can. Scaring is one way that everyone
can help, even if you don't don't have funds to contribute.

(01:27:21):
There have been a good amount ofquotes, tweets and retweets.
Lisa, who's saying we must help Aspen, please do everything you
can and Charlie Mack, amazing Kieran Pine, who's here in in
chat. But I also wanted to put this
was my other quote tweet. This is literally the worst case
nightmare scenario for any parent.
I'm going to set this up this way.

(01:27:44):
Imagine that your daughter gets into what turns out to be the
wrong car set up by someone thatshe implicitly trusted.
And she's now likely facing decades in a federal prison for
drug trafficking. So we're going to read this
story, and we'll go through exactly what happened here.
So again, descent in bloom.substack.com.

(01:28:07):
This is the story of an autisticwoman of color, Aspen, who was
failed by Peach County, Georgia,facing around 33 years or more
in prison. He's locked in a legal fight
against the system that continues to harm people.
She starts that when a young woman left Oklahoma in May, she
thought she was taking a short trip to visit friends.

(01:28:28):
It was a chance to see familiar faces who had since moved away
from home, an opportunity to clear her head.
He's only 27. Her name is Aspen.
He's autistic and artist and activist and a quiet soul who
tries to see the good in people no matter what.
But within days, that trip she'dbeen looking forward to had

(01:28:49):
become a nightmare. After a music festival in
Florida, the RV she was riding in was pulled over on a highway
in Peach County, Georgia. Officers claimed they smelled
marijuana. By nightfall, he was locked
inside a rural jail she never heard of, accused of trafficking

(01:29:09):
drugs she didn't own or even know about, and trapped inside a
system that didn't understand her and didn't care to.
Have you been smoking marijuana?For 15 days he'd endured
starvation, humiliation and medical neglect.
He lost 9 lbs in two weeks. A lifelong vegetarian, she was

(01:29:33):
denied truly meat free meals andgrew violently I'll from the
little food they give her. When the jail ran out of toilet
paper and pads, a common occurrence there, her mother
offered to donate supplies. The Sheriff's Office refused.
She's home now, on bail but not free.
Released on bond in June, she waits for the next court date,

(01:29:56):
her life suspended between hearings and legal bill
invoices. The fight didn't end at the jail
door. It just got more expensive.
If convicted, Aspen could face up to 33 years in prison for a
crime she didn't commit. She would become a convicted
felon, which means she would also lose her voting rights,

(01:30:18):
whatever voting rights mean at this point.
Her family's created a GoFundMe to attempt to raise money for
the trial, but has only been able to get a fraction of the
money needed for legal representation so far in a
facility that boasts recreational and medical
services. She found neither.

(01:30:39):
And I'm going to show that GoFundMe for a second here.
I'm going to put the link to theGoFundMe in here.
That was as of last night. She had, we had raised over 3600
and now that is up to over $3800, which raised more than
$2000 since this article published yesterday.
So my goodness, thank you to everyone who has contributed it.

(01:31:03):
It makes a light year of difference.
Light years. How did we get here?
It started as something good, a road trip, a little escape.
Aspen had been working on art, trying to recover from burnout,
and needed to change the scenery.
She was planning to enroll in college for criminal psychology

(01:31:23):
in the fall. So when her best friend, who had
since moved away, had invited her to stay with them for a
couple weeks, to join them at a music festivals for the summer,
it felt like the fresh, the first breath of freedom that
she'd had in months. She packed light, her art
supplies, a few clothes, her medication.
The plan was to dance under the sun, see the people she hadn't

(01:31:45):
seen in years, then head back home at the end of the summer.
But on the way back from floor from a Florida music festival,
everything changed. They were driving through
Georgia. The highway stretched wide and
empty. That's Hwy. 75, when flashing
lights appeared behind them. The officers said they smelled
marijuana. They pulled over the RV and

(01:32:08):
searched it or through bags and boxes and found drugs that
didn't belong to her. He told officers she knew
nothing about it. The man driving the RV told them
to. He told the magistrate to didn't
matter. Everyone inside was charged with
trafficking. This is despite the fact that

(01:32:28):
Georgia doesn't have an actual party law saying that they had
to do that, they just did it because they could.
Aspen ended up locked inside a small county jail she'd never
heard of. She tried to explain that she
was autistic, that she needed her medication, that she didn't

(01:32:48):
understand what was happening, but the system didn't care.
To them, she was another body ina cell, another case number.
Now, months later, Aspen's home but stuck in the purgatory of
the criminal process and list delays, paperwork and costs that
bleed her family dry, he's facing up to 33 years in prison

(01:33:09):
for trusting the wrong person. By the way, as the senton, Bloom
says she's in chat. Those are pics from the actual
jail. Right.
Her mother, Halo, is fighting tokeep her daughter from slipping
back into a system that already broke her once.
Every call to a lawyer is another bill.
Every delay feels like a threat.All of this a trip stop, a jail,

(01:33:36):
a bond or something she didn't do.
She was a passenger. That's how easily it happens in
America. 1 highway, 1 search, 1 accusation and suddenly your
life belongs to the state. 15 days.
That's all it took to break her body and teach her what the

(01:33:56):
state of Georgia calls correction, quote UN quote.
She was processed, stripped, placed into a paper thin county
jumpsuit and forgotten. The cell was small, the air
freezing cold at all times. She couldn't tell if it was
morning or night, if the world outside still existed.

(01:34:17):
They weren't allowed outdoors, not even once.
I've never heard of that. And the windows were covered in
dark security film that sealed them off from the sun, from time
itself. The days blurred together.
There were no clocks in her cell, no sunlight, no change in
temperature, just the same fluorescent hum and freezing air

(01:34:39):
that left her bones aching. Every meal was a battle between
hunger and nausea. By the end of two weeks, she
lost 9 lbs. When she needed medical help, it
became another fight. He asked for an ibuprofen for a
migraine in the morning and didn't get it until bedtime.

(01:35:01):
He asked for a rescue inhaler for asthma and it never came,
even though the nurse told her mother that she'd been given
one. This is a prime of example of
why people die in Peach County. He had the fight to receive her
B12 injections for chronic pernicious anemia, the one thing
her body can't survive without. The nurse refused to speak to

(01:35:23):
her mother, citing HIPAA, but wouldn't let Aspen sign the
release form that would have made communication legal.
Her mother eventually had to hire a lawyer just to get her
medical care, and even then the nurse resisted the attorney's
request. That cost thousands that they

(01:35:44):
didn't have in her pod, which isthe common area.
There was another woman, someonewith severe developmental
disabilities, who seemed lost most of the time, unable to
follow what was happening aroundher.
Aspen said it was like watching a child trapped in a place meant

(01:36:04):
to break adults. Even after she got out, you
couldn't stop thinking about this woman.
One of the first things she toldher mother after being released
was that they have to try to getthat girl help.
And by the way, I interviewed them this week and they said the
same thing to me. Because even after everything

(01:36:25):
she'd endured, the cold, the sickness, the hunger and Spin,
was still worried about someone else.
The first thing she asked her mother to do once released on
Pale was to help that girl. By the way, incarcerated people
with cognitive disabilities are more likely to be placed in
solitary confinement, denied medical care, ignored when they

(01:36:49):
asked for help. Remember, the Julian is also
autistic and was put in solitaryfor years.
The Bureau of Justice Statisticsstates that nearly 1/4 of all
prisoners report a cognitive disability.
Yet of course, few jails have training for sensory needs.

(01:37:10):
Sadly, this statistic rang true in Aspen's case.
Jail wasn't just confinement, itwas sensory chaos, the kind of
environment that turned sound, light, and human cruelty into
physical pain. The lights never dimmed.
The buzz of the fluorescent fixtures burned through her
eyelids even when she tried to sleep, every clang of a metal

(01:37:33):
door hit her like a shockwave. For most people, these sounds
fade into background noise, but for her they were sharp and
endless, a wall of noise that she couldn't shut out.
They didn't see her autism. They saw defiance.
They didn't see sensory overload.
They saw attitude. Even simple communication broke

(01:37:55):
down. He processes language literally
and slowly. Under went under stress as to
most of us, but the jail moved fast and punished hesitation.
The guards didn't care if she didn't understand or needed time
to process what they'd said. They took her silence as
disrespect. Another statistic that 4.4% of

(01:38:18):
inmates meet criteria for autismspectrum disorder, a rate about
four times higher than in the general population.
Yet accommodations for people with this disability often don't
exist in jails. The system was not built to
accommodate people like Aspen, It was built to crush them, to
kill them. Autism changes how the world is

(01:38:42):
processed for people like us. And again, dissent in Bloom is
also autistic. Every sound is louder, every
smell stronger, every rule less clear.
When guards barked orders or changed routines without
warning, it left her disorientedand terrified of doing something
wrong. She was in a strange place, in a

(01:39:03):
land far away from home. The lack of structure, the lack
of familiarity, the constant punishment, the mocking when she
asked questions and all strippedaway her ability to regulate the
think and to breathe. And her time there was filled
with sound. The sounds of clanking metal,
metal and screaming, The sound of fists pounding against steel

(01:39:27):
doors and men fighting in the war next to hers and violence
echoing through concrete for what felt like forever.
When she realized someone could be hurt, she banged on her door,
trying to get help. She felt it deeper than others
may have. Autistic people have an instinct

(01:39:48):
to protect and stand up for what's right.
That's called justice sensitivity.
It's a it's a feeling that won'tlet them stay silent when
someone is suffering. It's almost visceral.
They can't help themselves. So she hit the door again and
again until her hands hurt to get help.

(01:40:08):
Even then, it took ages for anyone to come in Peach County
Jail. Noise was the only way to get
help banging on the door. Georgia's prisons, by the way,
are so dangerous and mismanaged that they routinely violate
inmates constitutional rights, allowing rampant violence and
sexual abuse. Gangs control much of the system

(01:40:29):
while understaffing and corruption.
Let the abuse continue unchecked.
It's literally hell. Now she gets into just why this
is allowed to happen. We talk about the fiefdom of
George jails. Peach County Jail isn't just a
building, it's a Kingdom. And the man who runs it isn't a

(01:40:50):
warden. He's a constitutional officer
with powers older than most of the laws that govern him.
His office sits in the same building as the jail, giving him
near total control over what happens inside the in Georgia,
the sheriff isn't a county employee.
He is a state constitutional officer, listed in the Georgia

(01:41:11):
Constitution as independent fromlocal government.
That independence means he alonecontrols the jail's policies,
staff and medical care. The county pays the bills but
cannot tell him how to spend them.
His name is Robert Buckhead. He took office this year.

(01:41:32):
But the jail's reputation, of course, didn't start with him.
The abuses predate his tenure bydecades.
Peach County, Georgia is a placewhere people die from medical
neglect and guard sexually in rape assault inmates.
It's a car serial system where the DOJ released a 93 page

(01:41:52):
document of the unconstitutionalconditions in 2024, including
inmates being abused and subjected to violence.
That is Buck Shannon. But the new Sheriff Shannon, he
promised reform. He talked about focusing on

(01:42:12):
mental health, about hope and about fixing what was broken.
But inside Peach County Jail, itseems like nothing ever changed
at all but the name on the sheriff's door.
Something else that Descent and Bloom found is that Georgia, if
someone dies, is starved or denied medical treatment or in

(01:42:33):
Georgia, the county will claim that it's not responsible.
Victims can't sue the state either because Georgia protects
itself under sovereign immunity.But when the sheriff acts in his
official capacity, the law says he represents the state, and the
state can't be sued unless it chooses to be.
It almost never does. It's insane when you realize

(01:42:58):
what that means. The jail and the sheriff report
to the state of Georgia and the state is responsible.
The state gave itself immunity and the sheriff operates under
that protection. You can't sue the county.
It's not responsible. You can't sue the state.
It decided it doesn't have to answer for anything.

(01:43:19):
It's a self cleaning system of abuse.
Which is exactly what happened in 2022 under the previous
sheriff. Inmate Maurice Campbell died in
Peach County custody after staffignored repeated pleas for
medical care and his family sued.
They said that the staff watchedhis mental health collapse.

(01:43:40):
They ignored signs of kidney failure and never sent them to a
hospital. His family sued, arguing that
his death was caused by Peach County's own policy and
procedure for medical aid for inmates.
Court dismissed it. They said County wasn't
responsible. The sheriff was immune under the
state sovereignty laws, and the state deemed his death a

(01:44:04):
bureaucratic tragedy rather thana constitutional one.
This is exactly why we have to help Halo fight for her daughter
Aspen. She doesn't belong in a system
like this, one that starves, isolates, and abandons people
with medical conditions that it doesn't understand or care
about. Her body already paid the price

(01:44:26):
once. 15 days was enough to showhow little that place cares for
anyone's survival, let alone someone like her.
Halo's doing everything she can,but she's one person against an
entire system built to grind people down and hold themselves
unaccountable. Even public accountability is

(01:44:48):
locked away. The Peach County jails, Google
reviews are disabled. No one can post, and no one can
warn others and no one can speak.
How convenient. So where does this leave us now?
When a system is built to shielditself from accountability?

(01:45:08):
Why do I hear myself in your? In your.
I don't know. You shouldn't.
I hear echo. When a system is built to shield
itself from accountability, stories like Aspen's stop being
accidents. They become policy.
Georgia's jails operate like kingdoms, each sheriff ruling
their own fiefdom under the protection of sovereign

(01:45:31):
immunity. When someone dies, when someone
is starved or denied care, the county shrugs, the state hides
behind its own laws, and the cycle repeats.
Aspen survived, barely. That was only 15 days in.
She came home with her body thinner, her fate smaller, and

(01:45:51):
her future put on hold. The degree she wanted to earn in
criminal psychology of all things feels almost like a cruel
irony now. He wanted to understand how
people became trapped in the system.
Instead, the system came for her.
Also, if she's convicted, or, you know, if she's got this on
her record, he can never become a criminal psychologist.

(01:46:15):
That literally negates her from having the job she wanted.
Halo, her mother is still fighting, is still fighting.
God love her, and we do. Not just for her daughter's
case, but for the idea that whathappened in Peach County
couldn't happen to anyone. Not to another autistic woman,
not to another person with a disability, not to another soul

(01:46:39):
whose humanity gets lost in bureaucracy.
Georgia won't reform itself. It never does.
Change will only come when people stop pretending these
stories are isolated, when the name stop being forgotten, and
when we treat survival as the beginning of justice, not the
end of it. Aspen's story isn't over, It's a

(01:47:02):
warning. Georgia needs a change, and it
needs it yesterday. Disabilities like autism deserve
to be understood by a legal system that doesn't weaponize
ignorance or hide behind immunity.
And when she asked if she had a message for the world, Aspen
responded that this could happento anyone, which is true.

(01:47:26):
You didn't do anything wrong of getting the wrong car and she
can face up to 33 years in prison for something she didn't
do. There has to be accountability.
There has to be care. It shouldn't take a fucking
lawyer to get medical treatment and no one should have to die to
prove that the system is broken.Next Saturday, this coming

(01:47:50):
Saturday night we're going to live it, live stream it an
interview with me and her motherand and Aspen and her mom Halo.
OK we'll be live streamed here on descent and Bloom sub stack.
We're going to Co stream it there as well.
I highly encourage you to listento their story.
Aspen also told me a story aboutwhen they pulled her over on

(01:48:17):
Hwy. 75 she has a condition where she needs to use the
bathroom and she asked me go back into the RV to use the
bathroom. The cop told her no and go on
the side of the road and forced her.
Not forced her, but if she wanted to use to go, which she
had to, she had to pull her pants down and urinate on the

(01:48:40):
side of the highway 75. Georgia State Trooper made her
do that. Fucking disgraceful.
Halo. This is Halo's tweet with her
GoFundMe pin to at Halo Benson on Twitter.

(01:49:02):
Aspen, my daughter is facing devastating charges after a trip
gone wrong. We need to raise $7500 for her
defense. Please help us and share her
story. Every bit counts and like I
said, the people who read this have been amazing.
I went to bed with a big with a big smile on my face the other
night and and a warm heart because we more than doubled

(01:49:25):
what was sitting in her GoFundMe.
And I'm going to refresh it now.There's 3822 sitting there right
now and looks like we got another $100.00.
So thank you to whoever just recently put in the 100.
Misty, of course, was the first donation.
We got a $500 donation last night.
And Natalie Williams, of course it was.

(01:49:47):
Natalie, we love you. Thank you so much.
Really, Natalie's the best of us.
Wow. And yeah, I got to sit and talk
with him for the better part of an hour.
We're also planning on a fundraising live stream.
I'm going to announce the details on that Saturday night

(01:50:07):
after the before and after our one-on-one airs.
And actually, if you were watching last night, it
mistakenly ended up going out inplace of my one-on-one with
Panda on the beauty and the Boomer channel and then made
private afterwards. But for the 15 or 20 people that

(01:50:27):
did get to see it there, you gotto sneak preview.
We love you. Thank you for for bearing with
us through that. But I, I, I love Halo and I,
I'm, I'm heartbroken by this. I'm a father and a father of
daughters who this, you know, I,I listened to a radio host by

(01:50:48):
the name of Colin Cowherd. And Colin had talked a long time
ago about how one of the things he was most afraid of and that
he couldn't control was his kidsgetting in the wrong car with
someone. And this is literally the worst
case of some someone getting in the wrong car that I can have
that I've ever heard. Especially with ride sharing

(01:51:10):
being a thing now you know. Well.
Yes. I don't know if that Uber
receipt would give you the fucking out that they, you know,
well. No, that's that she was going on
a ride out. I know multiple.
States in an RV with a friend that she allegedly was trusting
and. Yeah.
But still, I mean, any of that could be like you get pulled

(01:51:34):
over in your Uber, you know, like, but yeah.
Meadow Mama Sue says there are endless horror stories.
There's another one that's horrific, all right, and that's
from Houston. Kieron Pine, thank you for the
organizing and all the work thatyou're doing to help bring

(01:51:55):
everyone together to, to work toraise some money to support
Aspen's legal defense fund and provide moral support.
Also to let her know that there is a, a family of people behind
her that most people don't have.And Aspen and and Halo were so

(01:52:16):
grateful and did not take for one second for granted the fact
that there is a massive group ofpeople here to support them that
a lot of people don't necessarily have.
Sydney over Marijuana is so stupid.
Well, it wasn't just. Over marijuana because when they

(01:52:36):
searched the vehicle they found a lot more hard drugs in the
thing, but he didn't even know they were in the vehicle, let
alone that the person that drovethem was selling them at
festivals and that this was a thing.
She had no idea. She never would have gone.
She was lied to. She was manipulated and put in a

(01:52:58):
position where she's now facing decades and losing most of her
adult future for trusting the wrong guy who was a family
friend. It's it's just awful.
I mean, just in so many ways, I feel so awful for her.
And I'm doing what I can in both, hosting them for a

(01:53:18):
one-on-one, in amplifying this story for them, in telling my
friends about it and being luckyenough and amazing and amazing
enough person that Dissent in Bloom is to listen to me
complaining and screaming about this, that she decided to write
this and get help, get Aspen some financial relief, even if

(01:53:41):
it's just a little bit. Halo also talked about how she
spent two weeks sleeping in her car.
Those 15 days that Aspen was in jail, Halo drove to the county
lockup and she slept in her car at night while she tried to
organize getting things. So maybe some of this GoFundMe
money helps to pay for a hotel room for a couple of nights for

(01:54:04):
her during a trial that may happen.
They have to pay for experts. They have to pay for so many
things, including, of course, the lawyers.
And we're looking at 10s of thousands of dollars possibly.
So again, thank you, thank you. Thank you to everyone,
especially to dissenting Bloom for writing this article and for

(01:54:24):
raising awareness to her audience about Aspen because
this happens to so many people that don't get somebody writing
an article about them or it and they disappear in the system.
And that was heavy, I know. Thank you for bearing with me.

(01:54:46):
And so we're not going to be re monetized for telling a story
like that either. If you're able to in a means,
please donate to Halos and Aspen's fund.
So there are ways to support here, but right now I would
actually rather you give to their GoFundMe.
And that link will be in the description afterwards.

(01:55:07):
So I'm not even going to go through the the names and the
stuff, but I think that that what's appropriate there is to
ask people to contribute to her legal fund.
And we're going to show some other people that need some
money too, because it's not justAspen.
Unfortunately, I've never seen it to this level.
So many people in real deep financial danger and hurting.

(01:55:32):
But before we do all of that, I do want to get to the lightning
round because there were some other new news things happening
that I wanted to reference and talk to people about.
So first, this one was funny. You know about those Epstein
files that everybody keeps asking about?
Well, the Epstein archive was created.

(01:55:53):
Four O 4 Media puts up that a data hoarder figured out how to
use AI to create a searchable database of the Epstein files.
Now, these are the homogenized Epstein files.
These are the ones that have been put out by the Trump
administration. And I don't trust AI on top of
it. But I just found it interesting
that though they're trying to keep the files buried and keep

(01:56:15):
that information quiet, that AI is being used at the same time
as a weapon to release that information.
Now I don't think again that they're going to let all the
information out and that in time, you know, we'll end up
getting gate kept and who created those prompts and

(01:56:37):
exactly what databases they're referencing would be
interesting. But I'm guessing that you're not
going to see the flight logs, for example, that's but maybe
I'm wrong, but check that out. The website is over at Data
hoarder over on Reddit. All right, the link here is over

(01:57:01):
on GitHub. Total cost 0 Hosting cost 0.
Epstein dot Dash docs dot GitHubdot IO.
I'm not going to do that. It probably is bugged, but just
interesting that they were able to document that and put it out
there. I also wanted to mention about

(01:57:22):
the Nobel Prize winner, whateverthe, you know, the another
propaganda thing, in case you have not been paying attention,
the Nobel Prize has been captured and that was being used
as a tool to foster regime change and to push narratives

(01:57:42):
and to push somebody that they are using, that they are looking
to implement. Always has been.
To take over a country? Well.
So Maria Carina Machado is the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize honoree.
OK. She is, according to Ali Amoro,

(01:58:03):
a Zionist all right, and a MAGA CIA Mossad agent set up to sell
out Venezuela to American corporations for profit.
Many Latina leaders deserve thatplatform, and she's not one of
them. Don't be fooled.
He's not a good representative for Latinas.
Please get educated. So I brought a funny video that

(01:58:25):
Descent and Bloom actually made funny enough.
So hang on. I'm going to have to reset this,
I'm guessing and then yeah, because Instagram sucks when it
comes to this thing. So let me refresh this and make
sure that we can hear this video, which we will be able to
here we go and volume. That Trump didn't win the Nobel

(01:58:46):
Peace Prize. They gave it to someone that
deserves it, someone from Venezuela.
But he's going to be so mad because he hates Venezuela.
So I didn't want to have to be the one to tell you this, but
her winning is actually a win for Trump, and it's not a good
thing. Wait, what?
Yeah, I know most people are happy because they're like,
yeah, it's not Trump. It's someone that deserves that,
someone fighting for democracy. But she's working with Trump.
She actually dedicated the awardto him already.

(01:59:10):
In 2017. Trump tried to take over
Venezuela because he wanted their oil, came on video and
said it, and they failed. So they're trying again this
year. And she's the leader that's
going to be placed in office once the United States
overthrows Venezuela, if it's allowed to happen.
Why do you think they keep bombing those boats?
It has nothing to do with narco terrorists or whatever they say.
And she was actually endorsed byMarco Rubio in an official memo

(01:59:30):
earlier this year. Oh, yeah.
And she also had a presentation that she gave not that long ago
in front of the Council of America.
It's a big key to collation of businesses like Chevron.
But instead of focusing on humanrights or democracy, she was
telling them how much they couldbenefit from the United States
taking over Venezuela. It's on YouTube, so you can
still watch it to this day. Wait, so you're saying that her
being kicked is actually good for him because it helps to

(01:59:51):
create the narrative that Venezuela needs to be invaded by
America for democracy? Well, yeah, Because if you think
that this lady is a hero becauseshe's trying to achieve
democracy in Venezuela, then you're not going to really pay
any attention when they're bombing Venezuelan votes.
I'm so happy that Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Yeah, pretty much that. That's a that's a humorous way
of explaining to a shit Lib justwhy they should not be happy

(02:00:15):
that a female Latina. You know, they, they basically
manipulated shit libs by using identity politics.
All right. Hilarious that they did the
thing. They weaponized identity

(02:00:35):
politics to get the shit libs excited that they promoted a
woman of color, a brown woman ofcolor, and amplified her and
elevated her over Trump. But yeah, not exactly.
She's also a Bitcoin Zionist andshe's a big Bitcoin advocate.
And I know Golden Monarch has has been all over that as well.

(02:00:57):
He's been talking about her for a while.
Hassan Mafi. Which I find, I find this whole
thing like, you know, we, we know plenty of journalists who
went to Venezuela during that election.
Everything was above board. Like, I know McLeod, I know Fee
and them. Rania.

(02:01:19):
You know, right, a bunch of them, but it's just, Oh yeah,
let's just delegitimize another country's elections because ours
are super above board and super good, right?
Like, OK, you know. And just to remind people that

(02:01:40):
who did they give the recent Nobel Peace Prize to?
Well, in 2021, it was a Russian opposition figure who they had
tried to elevate to oppose Putin.
In 2022, it was a Belarusian figure that they were looking to
implement in a color revolution to lead the country.
In 2023, there was a failed color revolution in Iran, and

(02:02:05):
they elevated this narjay, Mohammad Almai.
OK. And now you've got Maria Carina,
the Venezuelan opposition, who also was on.
Watch Throw Boss on. Juan Guaido's team, by the way,
in 2019. It's hilarious and disgusting

(02:02:27):
that they would weaponize identity politics like this, but
they knew that. The shit libs would back this
because it was and they wouldn'tlook too deep into who she was
but her identity fit the profilethat would make them happy.
OK. Yep.
Finally. And before that we had fucking

(02:02:49):
no, no, I missed it, right, You know?
And finally, I wanted to point out, fuck Trump and ICE and all
that's going on with deportations and Chicago.
I didn't get into it, but there's a lot of stuff happening
and there are certainly other channels to follow to do that.
I had a lot I want to cover tonight, so I didn't have a

(02:03:10):
chance to get to that. But this story out of Pro
Publica kind of broke me a little bit and I'm not going to
post. I'm not going to read it because
it's really long, but I'm going to put the link in the
description I don't want. To be here anymore.
Right, they tried to self deportand then got stranded in Trump's
America. All right, this is a story of

(02:03:32):
out of pro publica A. Woman named Brady.
No, a woman that tried to self deport with her family, they
were promised $1000 to self deport to help them set their
life back up at home. All right, first they waited for
plane tickets that never came their whole life, got displaced,

(02:03:53):
they gave up their apartment, and then they didn't get
tickets. Like, it's this whole story,
right? It was mid-May, and Perez, a
Venezuelan mother of two, couldn't survive on her own in
Chicago anymore. Why?
Because she'd been relying on charity for food and shelter
ever since her partner had been detained by ICE after a traffic

(02:04:15):
stop earlier this year. Sound familiar?
This 25 year old woman thought it would be safer to return to
Venezuela with her children thanto stay in the United States.
Her request for asylum was stillopen and she had a permit to
work legally, but so did a lot of other Venezuelans getting
picked up on the streets and taken into custody.

(02:04:36):
She was literally afraid to leave her house.
But then in the in the app, DHS offered $1000 exit bonus, the
people that could book a free flight to any foreign country
under project homecoming, right?They tried to do that through

(02:04:58):
the CVP home app. Months passed.
Her partner got deported in July.
She said she got a call from someone at CVP.
This whole story is in nightmare.
She ended up getting deported and and self deporting and
flying to Venezuela. But the money never arrived, the

(02:05:19):
$1000 hasn't arrived, and they've been trying to scramble.
If you're right, what the? Hell to do back in Venezuela.
Good luck getting that money from the Trump administration.
Especially in Venezuela, right? You know, they'll claim you're
some cartel member once they getit right?
They'll bomb your boat in a crime in international waters.

(02:05:42):
So you know. Yeah, fuck the Trump admin for
that nonsense as well. And just real quick, I do want
to put up the, you know, what's this?
Oh, that's my one-on-one with Shanda.
That's OK. That's going to be next real
quick if you're able to it. It means please support let's
live stream, please support thischannel, please support

(02:06:04):
independent media. This is the amazing people that
already do that and have done that.
Cash App, Dollar sign Indy News Network, co-fee.com/indy News
Network, you got PayPal dot me slash Indy News Network INN
newsletter.com and indymediatoday.com and then
we've got Indy news.now.com where we're live as well.

(02:06:29):
I also again wanted to shout outthe Gofundmes that we do every
week and again, talking about stuff like this is how we got
help for Aspen, how we've gottenmore money raised for Shanda.
And again, I I cannot be more grateful.
Last night Beauty and the Boomerran this ran this one-on-one

(02:06:54):
that I recorded earlier this week on Thursday with Shanda.
We talked about independent media.
We talked about her history and the entire space and where it's
gone and how she got into this to begin with and how it's
evolved. And then also her battling small
cell lung cancer and what she's been through with insurance and

(02:07:18):
what she's struggling with rightnow in going through treatments
again. So if anyone's able to please
support her GoFundMe last night.We ended up after that was run,
raised about $1000, which is going to help her get through
this month. So thank you to everyone who did
that, specifically to the one person that gave a ton of money

(02:07:42):
last night. But thank you.
I understand they don't want to be shouted out by name, but you
know who you are. Thank you.
So that's go fund me for Shanda.Of course, we also have what's
going on with our friend Cowboy Kitty, Anthony Malecki's
sister-in-law, Natalia. We talked about ICE deporting

(02:08:02):
people a little while ago. Natalia is currently in
detention. She doesn't have a hearing for
another few weeks and they stillwant to deport her to Ukraine.
She's did it right. She has permission to work here.
She was a truck driver, but she's been held indefinitely

(02:08:22):
four months. Her daughter, they want to
deport also now to Ukraine. Apparently at her latest
immigration hearing, she broke down and started crying, begging
to receive bail for the nonviolent misdemeanor.
And the judge got mad and deniedher.
Yeah. And now that was that was weeks
ago. 2 weeks later, still flightrisk.

(02:08:46):
Thank you, Anthony, really appreciate that.
And Anthony put in the chat the other night a an update that
it's going to be at least another couple weeks before her
hearing. So if you can contribute to her
GoFundMe, they could really use some help and support.

(02:09:07):
Again, I know everybody's hurting and everybody needs
money right now. This really hasn't moved very
much in a long time. And anything anyone can do, it
really makes a big difference. Even 5 or $10.
And then finally, I want to tellthe story.
And luckily, we, we're not asking at this point for final

(02:09:27):
expenses at this point. But our friend Rich Slutsky from
Counterspin, he got news earlierthis summer that his father was
in had a stroke and was in Hospice care, was in the
hospital, then he was in Hospicecare.
And he got a call over the weekend that his dad passed away

(02:09:48):
and he got a call from the Funeral Home.
They won't take payments. I have until Wednesday to fully
fund his cremation. Under state laws, they can only
hold the remains for 10 days. And we're already on day three.
I gave him 200 bucks, his good faith payment, just to shut them
up. How the fuck am I supposed to

(02:10:09):
come up with $16145.00 in a week?
Originally it was 3000 that theyknocked down to 1845 because he
was a veteran. All right, there's this proof of
payment, but people end up giving him PayPal to help.
He also said that the lawyer ended up helping out.

(02:10:31):
Where is it? He said I can breathe now.
The lawyer I've been working with was very kind and offered
to pay it forward and cover the balance due out of any potential
settlement. Thank you to everyone who
stepped up and shipped in. It means a lot to know when
things look bleak I can rely on the kindness of strangers.
Mutual aid man, Mutual aid. This is why we do this every

(02:10:53):
week, because people need help and nobody's doing shit to help
them. We just have to help each other
and as long as I have a platform, I'm going to do what I
can to help the people around usthat need help that don't have a
voice. So I asked Rich that if is there
anything I can do or that we cantell people who want to help and
he said no. Pretty much it's all anyone can

blind when I couldn't read between the lions and when I
couldn't see the cracks in the structure that lay bare before
me the whole time. I think I liked it better back
when I suspended disbelief and swallowed pride.

they both bleed us so dry. They both.
Bleed us so dry. My favorite songs don't hit the

say? I guess this is such an awful

place. It's not what you want me to
say. Hey, you prove it's possible to
sleep for days and they still think you're right here away.
The cost of living isn't much tomake, but God, it's so hard to
say, hey, and we're meant to do everything I said, were you

(02:16:36):
safe?
